Oh go and catch a teardrop...lol Mark Bicknell.

You don't like it then Cookie...lol Mark Bicknell.

Ok into the sprit of this thread......top of the list has to be 'Last orders at de bar please', and 'Here's a bigun' from Wigan' last but not least the short phrase 'And Uh' i.e. 'Heres the brilliant Four Tracks 'And Uh' Like My Love For You....lol

Pleasure mate glad to be of service. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Remus she will kill you mate you know that, don't upset her please....lol Mark Bicknell.

Souds like the 5 Royals to me.. mark bicknell

My comments were tounge in check, do we not have the right to reply then...lol No it seems the punters are more important than the DJ's and artists...lol Oh bollocks i'm going out for a hop on me crutches...lol Mark Bicknell

What is this have a pop at the DJ's month on here or what??????....lol, how about a seperate thread for annoying clever buggers who try their best to constantly belittle the DJ's, still i guess we are there to be shot down...lol. Tell you what if you ain't happy get yourself a box of records together and give it a go yourself then we can rip the piss out of you then see how you like them apples...lol. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Pub, records, beer, good company spells bliss, i'll get em' in...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Or how many dancers are DJ's......hundreds it would seem...lol again your points are very valid and spot on, you simply don't see DJ's dance that much if at all so maybe here the problem lies..... oh well we all play our part in the mix i guess. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Yes but if there were no records what would you dance to...lol joking apart your points are very valid as most people on this scene just wanna have some fun and a dance which is fantastic, but some get off on the whole ethos of records and the bug becomes an addiction very quickly, still keeps us out of trouble and out of the pub i guess. regards - Mark Bicknell.

At least we both got plastered Cookie...lol just without the hangover which ain't as much fun ......hope your not in too much pain, mine hurts like hell still the plaster is jet black and very soulful..lol Regards - Mark 'Long John Silver' Bicknell

Fed up already only been home a day, gonna go stir crazy i can see it coming and i'm itching already...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Another topic that will simply go round in circles, who's right? who's wrong? who cares? the fact is that most DJ's try their best to entertain and often their spots are not a true reflection of their own personal taste and depth of collection it's almost a compromise meeting the dancers half way kind of thing, personally i get bored of playing even some of the big ticket items it's as though it's exspected or you are compelled to play certain tracks with the big is best attitude and a way of telling a few people often not on the dance floor what records you have, a little petty and i guess ego driven and the main reason why some records get duplicated three or four times at the gigs, a bit like saying 'look at me i got this too' and or some DJ's not being in the venue allnight or simply not listening to whats being played. There are enough great records out there at all prices to play making it different, interesting and exciting instead of all this debate constantly which really gets us know place. Regards - Mark Bicknell.

What a brilliant idea....beautiful i like it, will try and look for that station...lol Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Free at last! Free at last! Just got home from hospital with a very sexy up to my knee black (very soulful) plaster cast, so just on a week in hospital and i'm so glad to be home, at least six weeks off work and no souling i'm gonna go insane, still time to sought the records out and get some new stuff into the DJ boxes ready for my return later on in the year, special thanks to James Trouble and all the well wishers like i said makes me proud to be part of such a wonderful scene.

Well what a week i've had, turns out after a second visit to my local hospital that i have a nasty break in my left foot, been in hospital since Tuesday night waiting on a CAT scan which i had yesterday, waiting on the results of that which will now be Monday, been let out of hospital for the weekend but have to go back in Sunday teatime, thanks to everyone for the good wishes and messages,emails etc. really makes me feel i'm part of a wonderful scene. Going to be off work and out of action for several weeks so will be unable to DJ for Jon And Sue Buck on August 12th and the Winsford allnighter on August 20th really sorry but under the circumstances it's gonna be almost impossible to attend any venues until i'm fully fit. Will still be doing the Solar Radio gig every Sunday night www.solarradio.com and Channel 879 SKY DIGITAL 8pm - 10pm so at least i can keep my finger in on there. Thanks again for all your support and see you soon. Regards - Mark Bicknell ps it bloody hurts and thought i would get in first with the Long John Silver and parrot gags...lol
