Well done Pete & everyone, and good luck Johnny. I found all the comments & sentiments truly heartwarming, the whole thing really made my Christmas. Never ever underestimate the power of knowing that someone cares about you. T x

Pete darling, retrieve those toys back into the pram, there's more money to come which I've PM'd you about and we need you to gather it as you have a unique place on this site, & the resources to administer the collection. No-one was intending to be funny with you, they were just clarifying a rumour. I for one think you're fab, and will stand you a whole bottle of Baileys PLUS a box of Toffifees when I next see you.

I don't know John, but I've danced to his DJing many a time, and that's good enough for me. Have Paypalled you Pete, thanks for organising. T x

Me n all Pete x

Of course you realise that if you DO ring Simon you won't get a word in edgeways, so if you're truly suicidal and it's urgent, maybe call the Samaritans first What you will get though is entertaining conversation of the highest order, so there's a good chance he can distract you from your troubles. He's also good with plumbing emergencies, fixing scooters, kilt stories, and he's seen some things around the world that are a lot worse than any of us will ever have to experience, so he might help you get it into perspective. Bless you Simon, Merry Christmas mate

And it's a Happy Midwinter Pagan Festival to you all from me...

FFS don't give him your address Kirsty, I've heard about the sort of parcels Phil sends Anyway Ged, give us an update. What sort of tunes did you put on the CD, and did it have the desired effect? T x

Change my mind every 5 minutes, me... Topics - Booking Up Baby Betty Lavette or Deon Jackson - You'll Wake Up Wiser Annabelle Fox - Lonely Girl or maybe Frankie Saunders - Take Another Look Sam Butler - I Can't Get Over (Loving You) Al Wilson - Show & Tell

I also love the 94 version featuring the lovely Juliet Roberts...

Just a thought, but it's probably spelt Rose of Sharon, a well-known biblical reference. The Sharon is pronounced in the Israeli way that sounds like 'Cheronn'. T

Have PM'd you contact details for Craig Bayliss, a soul friend in Sydney

I'm Under Your Spell - Mind & Matter

Good on ya Paul you grumpy old bugger Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure I remember you telling me back in the day that you're diabetic as well (or possibly the South London Massive have been calling you Diabetic Paul for the last 20 or so years in error ) so your achievements are all the more outstanding. Well done that bloke T x

Of course it is Webby but let's face it you're just baiting the badgers cos you're bored

If there were no flyers we'd have to buy wallpaper for our downstairs bog at Price Towers...

You PhilT bastard... And can I give you a couple of names and addresses of people I'd like you to deliver to?

Always love reading what people's fave tunes are, but find all I'm thinking about is whether I can make a tea or biscuit pun out of the titles

Hi Stella, I've had a few bits go astray or get broken when selling on eBay both in the UK and overseas, and the Royal Mail has always responded and refunded promptly within a fortnight of the claim. Mind you there's been nothing worth more than a couple of hundred quid, and the sale and value has been easy to document/prove as I just enclose a copy of the eBay paperwork. Was it a really expensive item, hence why they might be stalling pending investigation? Where stuff has gone missing on arrival in another country, I've found that RM just refund me straight away as they know it's been nicked at the foreign sorting office and there's no hope of finding it. But you're right, the complaints procedure is very impersonal and you've got no hope of talking to a sentient being. Where I know the buyer, I just refund their money straight away as I know they're not telling porkies. Hope the RM get their finger out and either find or refund your package soon. Theresa

If someone manages to put on a beat ballad alldayer as mooted on another thread, I'd definitely be up for a smooch hour, but only if the top 20 crumpet are there Some friends of mine from the South Carolina beach scene came over to visit a couple of years ago, and they danced (shagged?) together at Bisley. Raised a few eyebrows I can tell you.
