What-a-f*ckin-record!!!!

Is the AA man out of hospital yet, Reg?

No doubt you will mate Meant to ask: did you drink that bottle of brandy over the weekend?

Hi Kate, I really meant serious obsessive stuff like alcohol etc but we are probably better off not going there! I know some women can be obsessive....my ex-wife was obsessive about money: ie me working as much as possible so she could have as much as possible If you want to join in on the threads, do so Look how many posts Shane makes......limited knowledge doesn't stop him Just off to ask my lad what an ipod is Dave

You've heard about the mess as well then?

I think he's likely to stay that way, if his posts on this thread are anything to go by!

Karen, you should know better than to fall for it!

Just to add my twopenneth, I go to a lot of different venues, North and South and there is a big variation in the ratio of male and female. I've been trying to work out if there is any pattern and I think perhaps there is. Seems to me that the typical oldies venue/room populated with staring-eyed guys dressed in vests, Spencers etc trying to recapture their youth does not make much appeal to a lot of women on the scene, whereas venues/rooms playing music more on the edges of the spectrum e.g. RnB on the one hand or 70s onwards stuff on the other attracts a far more even ratio of m:f. Perhaps this indicates that women are more receptive to the changes in the music that only some of us welcome? On the collecting/anorak side of things, it is a fact that women are less susceptible to certain types of obsessive behaviour, (and really that's what we are talking about) than men. On the DJ thing I enjoy listening to different collectors play, "big name" or unknown, male or female, and certain venues with more progressive music policies seem to have a similar outlook when putting together a line-up. Again, its the bulk-standard, Friday night, NS Top 500 soul nights who go for the same, safe, male names. Then again, how many of the lady collectors would want to play at these venues? Very few, I suspect and I don't blame 'em! All just MVHO, of course and I can't stay long at the mo to see the response so I'll have a look later to see how much flak this attracts. Dave

Good for you Karen I managed to get there on Thursday and effectively had 4 all-nighters. It must be something to do with our EASC upbringing, eh?

You are a cheerful soul, aren't you? The sound quality was not always perfect, but I find if you pull your anorak hood up it becomes bearable A drink can help as well I for one am pleased they don't end at 3.00 and I don't think its true to say that the "vast majority" leave then. As for "playing good music all the time", that's a bit subjective, isn't it? I felt there were more than enough oldies played but during the course of the weekend I managed to find enough variety of music, friends and atmosphere to keep me happy Even managed to get hold of one or two bargain records

Don't let it go to your head, but I think you've summed it up quite well there mate. Certainly more sense than you were making in our last conversation on Sunday night

"OLD" being the operative word, perhaps? Got to say I enjoyed every minute I was there Dave

?? Ok, but at a price

Don't let Mark get in close, James!! He'll give you a nipple burn....he's known for it!

According to the italics at the bottom Win, he's been trying to reply for several minutes! Something must be distracting him....perhaps that cynic's trying to get into him again

Can you post a link please? I've missed that one

How about you f*ck off?

Not much info/profile on "dodger", either! And at least Kate is an fairly conventional name! Couple of questions mate: Do you share a computer with another member? How often do you let this "cynic" get into you? You could be on the wrong type of forum

Not sure I understood all that but at least you didn't use the word crap this time

On the album Kimberley Peer is credited as lead singer. Another track worth a listen is Don't U Want Me

Stanley Mitchell, Get It Baby

Agree with you there, Win There's been one or two contentious statements made on this thread, not least by someone hiding behind a rather anonymous, capitalised, username! Show yourself, bigsoulman
