Thanks to all my mates.

Hi Harpo here, i just want to say thankyou to all Cheryls mates for making her recent visit so special, now she's gone back to Saudi.

First day back was the Without Boundaries Summer Ball, donned in dinner jackets 'n' posh frocks it was great fun, specially when we got back home and it was my turn to wear the dress!

Net week it was Lowton then on Sat Tony Dawbors 50th followed by a first visit to Middleton. How refreshing to do a nighter that felt like they used to, lots of people all really going for it, and even better it finished at the proper time in the morning...congrats. Andy and crew, i'll be back.

The next weekend saw Jonno come down Friday from Wigan, they did Goodyears while i did my parental bit, and Togetherness on the Saturday.

The next was a local do, Max's Broad Lane on Friday, with Neil Rushtons modern Boiler Room nighter on Sat. with a brief 2 hour visit to the Kings Norton nighter after, apologies to all those we did the heads of , we were a bit manic i,m afraid.

We finished with Prestwich followed by the Marrs'y Bar the last week.

Quite a heavy schedule for me these days, but with the aid of Lord Scratchy we managed it with only brif periods of hating one another, and with my head thats very good, i can tell you.

So thanks to you all , from me and in her abscence Cheryl, cant mention everyone but heres a few:

Tess, Smokey johnny Kearsley, Phil and Jane, Colin C, Dave 'n' june, Sane and partner, Sam and Roger, Lucy and Mick, Jan, Frenchy and Johnny Sammy Jo and the rest.

She's gone till Prestatyn, but not me i'm still here to keep you all on your toes.........don't forget Burslem on 30th Sept. this ones gonna be massive, specially in my modern room

See ya Harpo.
