REMEMBER ME - THE WHISPERS SUGAR PIE HONEY - THE PROMATICS

kin hell you learn something everyday

I was 13 when adi invited me down to do a bit on his legendary Thursday nights ...played the gallahads which I borrowed off Gary Spencer. Little did I know but Fortnum and Spencer had done a photo copy of the Gallahads and stuck it on some Perry Como durge, it took me a good 20 secs to realise that I had what I thought put the wrong side on, bizzare thing is 9 people danced to it.

James do you detest IL so much that at every opportunity you attempt to discredit him or is it simply you have some type of stalking mentality. Did he once outbid you on a Pannini sticker to complete your world cup collection I wish I'd experienced everything he has since 1968, well not everything The bloke can be arrogant and sycophantic however that should never be misconstrued as being rude, I'd rather perceive him as being supremely confident. If there were ever a Northern soul HALL OF FAME. I'd ask him to be inducted. PD

The Boro lot paid for 18 tickets.... FULL REFUND RECEIVED THIS MORN Thank you Tracey. Deal with those that you owe refunds too as promptly as you can, forget about the last 6 months and 'move on!

smudge and Jonny Carrol tell this story better than me. Up to wigan, no gear so we decided to pass the time by talking as if we had a short tounge.. Got all the way up to Wigan and apart from a couple of digressions we were doing ok.."ithit a long thway to go thet thmudge" you get the picture. Pulls in to Wigan off the motorway and its thick fog, we gets lost and ends up on a housing estate, clocks this bloke walking his dog as we stops "Thuse me mate wheres Thation Road Wigan?" reply "are thoo taking the piff"
