Oops forgot to mention, if you want to be a proper soulie make sure you wear the right clothes,

Billy, Picked one up a couple of weeks ago, very nice demo, £75, don't really know if that's the going rate, love the tune so just paid for it, Pete

Also Dave the questions at the top of this thread are not a million miles away from a question i asked in the wigan thread so i have an active interest so to speak as i didn't get an answer in there

sorry Dave, had enough of that one, This one looks like sooooo much more fun!!!!!!!!!!

You know your a soulie when, you start to moan about anything thats been played before, when you know you know better than anyone on the planet whats best to listen to /dance to, and when you shout from the rooftops that anybody that disagrees with your tastes is a HANDBAGGER, Until such time your just a lightwieght, Sorry Pete

Sorry Neil a tad picky but couldn't resist

Edges it? by a country mile? reminds me of your quote ' words cannot describe how good this is' - 'its brilliant' lol can't remember the track, Gene Toons maybe? Pete

By no means a fisherman myself, but believe one pole (or whatever its called) can easily be upwards of 2K, and believe some golf bats can be pricey, As Mark says if its kept within the disposable income then no worries, you have earned it so up to you how you spend it, Pete

Thanks for the response, and i understand the insurance issue, but i have purchased more expensive 45's from the USA lots of times and never paid anything like that for postage, Like said will pay it this time as i don't want to lose the 45 (a long time want) but will remember the seller for the future, Pete

Won a 45 on Ebay last night, final price around £250 from USA, paid through paypal, postage costs stated to uk $0.50, i thought this a bit strange but thats what it said so thought hey, result, Just got an email from seller, saying i have paid for an item and not paid postage, and the outstanding postage costs are $27.50, I know i have only been using ebay a year or so but i have never paid or even seen postage costs so high, Will pay it as its not a kings ransom but still, why so high? or is it the norm and ive just been lucky previously? Thanks in advance, Pete Eccles

Correct but a cheap shot we don't really know what your name is, well i don't, so goodnight Dave

Arn't jokes funny? Goodnight Dave, lol

Goodnight can't believe the time myself, all good fun and won't change a thing

Well in my experience they go out as often as anybody Leave the funnies as a comedian you are not Pete Eccles the name but you already know that

Well thankyou and i won't stop ya Will let you know nearer the time, a while off yet thankfully,

Please remind me, did you ask where these people go regularly or not? I'm the Eccles from Bolton and i'm only expressing my take on things, but hey if you are so serious about things you want to reduce things to insults whats your name?

Yep all bases covered there, tied up, kidnapped, but had a jolly good time. but dare anyboy else enjoy the same treatment at a similar event, and it is very similar, the theme that is, but obviously not or is it? like i said i won't be going nor did i watch the play, not for me, but hey if it's my birhday who knows? then it will be for me,

As said already, if you don't fancy it don't go, i won't, but whatever i decide to do instead i certainly won't be thinking about it, will be too busy!

Try any Stoke nighter or any of the busiest soul nights in the country, don't know where you come from but if you really believe oldies orientated nights arn't by far the busiest then you need to take a closer look!

Once upon a ruddy time but i enjoyed the play? how many bases are we covering here? did you or did you not pay and give your time up to watch a retro look at the casino? i give up, where you moving the goalposts to next? And i think its those who consider themselves more upfront who are guilty of ramming beliefs down folks throats! how many cafe attendees on here upping it? to busy getting on with enjoying life to be bothered with what we think,

But its got everything to do with todays scene as there will be as many attending or buying into it as almost anywhere or anything else on the scene, so therefore it is part of the scene, Otherwise why are we discussing it? It might not be anything to do with your scene but the very fact its on here creating a reaction says it's part of todays scene, I reckon the people who do buy into it are really concerned about what we think! NOT Too busy enjoying life i bet,

1 Plenty have and will pay a visit 2 Lots will pay to watch and enjoy 3 Same as 2 4 Some will buy, up to them, if they don't then so be it, I don't really care for any of the above issues as i won't be attending/buying into any of them, not for me, but hey if anybody reading this is planning to or has enjoyed any of the above then good on you and all the best!

I'm not saying don't slag off the past though, i'm saying don't slag off what people want to do with their time and money, wether that is associated with the past, present, or looking to the future, If you don't want to watch a Drifters 'tribute' or don't want to attend events connected to x y or z then as i said before IT'S EASY don't go, and do whatever it is you would rather be doing, If people find pleasure attending events/venues you would rather not visit then leave them to it, as said previously don't concern yourself with how anybody else exercises a fundamental human right to enjoy themselves how they see fit (as long as its legal ) Not directed at you Steve in any way, 'you' = if the cap fits so to speak, Best, Pete Eccles

Great thread, and quality posts from Bryan B and Pete Smith among others, Always said you can't be enjoying what your doing if your overly concerned about what others are doing, and if your in a minority banging on about your 'scene' is best we all know that if the masses came and agreed with your way of thinking you would only move into another minority so stop the preaching and do whatever makes YOU happy and stuff the rest, IT'S EASY Pete Eccles

Point taken Pete, but never thought it was a masterpiece in music anyway, your right the visual aspect shouldn't be anything to do with the sound quality but hasn't it been put up here for us to look at? and taking that into account along with the tune itself my opinion is its dreadful!
