MISTAKE

I bought the Eddie & Ernie CD on the back of Dave Godin's collection & I'll never regret it. Tremendous stuff & a crime that it wasn't a commercial success. Horses for courses I guess...

quite agree mel, but I think the original postee is a sprog of 26. if he wants to, then why not? M

doesn't really matter that much to me either, but a mate has asked me to lend him a hand, & being a good all- round egg I've indulged him on this occasion. thanks for your replies chaps. macca pete: I'm told the back of the badge is a sort of off white colour. yer 'tis...

Not one for retro clothing, except during carnival time here, but if you're really interested in wearing gear like that, why not have 'em made at a tailors? back in the 70's, I used to go to burtons. you paid a bit more, but could have them exactly how you wanted them, specifying things like the cloth, sewn in pleats & creases, turnups, tunnel loops etc; I never bought a pair of spencers 'cos I always favoured a more conservative, simpler trew. I think the widest I ever went was 32", which is pretty wide anyway. my last pair were made of dark grey harris tweed and itched like hell. looked great with the old black brogues, tie & waistcoat though.

Been asked by a mate for some opinions on this:

Yeah. I bought an ellie greenwich single off him. paid him on june 13th. 2 weeks later I'm still waiting. ho-hum.

I've read on another forum that there's going to be charity scooter run, with dean opening the new shopping complex in Wigan. our man will arrive for the gig escorted by a presidential style scooter cavalcade and will perform his set with a stage backdrop (sic) of several lambrettas/vespas. The presence of famous scooterists & yer man russ will guarantee the presence of TV cameras. does dean use image advisors?

wasn't it 'ROUSTABOUT', with Barbara Stanwyck? with Elv depicted as a Carny type?

thanks for your replies chaps. just compared it to some styrene major lance 45's I have. am I right in thinking that a molded on label can only be vinyl? & what about the lack of a stamped matrix?

what do you think? small 45, matrix not stamped, but etched in & it's on what appears to be vinyl with a molded on label too. came in a company sleeve, which threw me. there's been a lot of debate about Okeh reissues & boots recently.

if you look at the clip 'Aussie Singers', you'll see her performing on TV in the 60's, surrounded by mods. I always found 'stranger in my arms' a bit on the 'girly' side for my tastes, but it's an atmospheric track & a classic nonetheless. RIP Lynne.

Absolutely. I think a year from now everybody will be united on this question.

Never understood that programme. How could people allow themselves to be mauled by two fat trouts with absolutely no dress sense? also pretty pointless exporting the show, what with different attitudes to what is construed as dress sense. incidentally, in continental europe brits are considered lousy dressers. good clothes at the top end but no idea how to use them seems to be the concensus.

I was in the Scottish highlands last week. It's still empty.

Quite. My post was in reference to the lock-ins mentioned by rushden8. You know, stopping non-smokers from joiners smokers outside for a chinwag. Seems a bit authoritarian to me. Some people just like to have a breather.

I don't think stopping people from moving about is the answer either. last summer in gij³n, they threw open the central patio at about 4am & there was an exodus outide. those that wanted to remain on the dancefloor remained on the dancefloor, no big deal. people just went backwards & forwards from the two 'pistas' to the patio. it was more a case of escaping the heat than anything else, 'cos here, as I said before, the smoking ban, in practice, doesn't seem to work.

I think we're using & abusing the term fascism here. Fascism is torch-lit parades in Nuremburg, bombs falling on Guernika & Durango & dwarves trying to resuscitate the Roman Empire. Tony Blair isn't Adolf, however much some of you may insist. I suppose the carping will continue when Cameron gets elected. The great British Public has a long standing habit of turning on its elected government. It's quite amusing watching it from here.

in spain the so called 'anti tabaco' law is a total joke. basically, proprietors with premises under 100sq mts were able to choose if they wanted to be smoking or non-smoking, as most thought the latter would be bad for their trade, most of them chose the smoking option. consequently, when you go out on a weekend you still come home like a kipper. I was in edinburgh last weekend & it was a pleasure to get home unkipper like. my scots friends told me the only disadvantage with the smoking ban was that farts were much more detectable now than before. I quite liked the 'don't take my glass I'm having a fag outside' beermats too. I don't smoke, though I have done in the past, so I can understand both sides of the argument. at the end of the day it all boils down to a health issue. contaminate or be contaminated.

bouncers are there to dissuade the more ignorant among us. I would never dream of stepping onto the floor with a bottle/fag, anywhere. decorum is the key word...

you're absolutely right ken. I've seen it time & time again over here. in august 4500 nutters descend on the old town after the bullfights. that's 4500 nutters all divided into gangs called 'pe±as' wearing their own colours. they drink like cossacks & dance & party till daylight. a perfect recipe for stalingrad in the uk. not a whiff of trouble here. I've often wondered why... M

I've clearly been victim of a drugged humour bypass then...
