Soulfinger

Lenders are nowadays much more averse to lending to anyone for whom they can foresee some sort of risk - whether real or imaginary. All the credit check agencies make big bucks out of exploiting this nervousness. I also think that it can be tricky for self-employed folk to get a clear prediction of how much they are going to be able to borrow. £20K out seems like the bloke may just be a pillock though. Lot of that about....

I had a very fine pack from Roger Banks a few months back.

Very fine book it is too! Really enjoying it! Many thanks. John

Thanks Mike, that's very handy. Cheers John

Thanks for posting this, it's very interesting stuff and has prompted me to buy your book!

Absolutely agree. Killing Eve is outstanding. Watched five episodes in succession last night. Not sure if a TV programme can be described as unputdownable, but it's that good!

We binged on Season 3 of No Offence at the weekend. Excellent! Lots of good telly at the moment.

What am I Gonna Do Without You was the first Chuck Jackson song I heard and I have loved it ever since.

There you go. I'm now using my own photo - my most recent - after completing my 50th Parkrun on Saturday, though Bilko's better looking and I reserve the right to go back.

When I joined Soul Source, I worked in a post that was politically restricted. I was not, consequently, permitted to use my real name. I retired earlier this year but I'm quite attached to being Soulfinger after all this time. I have been buying records for 48 years but have never sold one. I am, however, quite clear that I am not Kevin or Soultime..... John

RIP Dean. I used to love my Saturday visits to Expansion where he used to tell me with great and erudite conviction which new tunes I was going to love and torment me for being a sixties dinosaur. Lovely, witty bloke who will be sadly missed.

RIP Aretha. The greatest female soul singer of all time. My greatest regret is never having seen her sing live.

Edwin by a huge distance. A magnificent vocal performance which is right up there with his very best and his best is awesome.

That's wonderful stuff Roburt. Thank you for posting. It's fascinating to see what was being played where and when in the states and link it when I first heard stuff over here. Lots of the slightly more mainstream tunes could be heard on Radio Caroline and Radio Luxemburg in the mid 60's but there's plenty of stuff that took a long time to reach my ears.
