I want one! Northern Soul in the nightclub style...! I seem to remember a few drunken sort of karaoke sessions at the Orwell. Alison did a very special version of Minnie Ripperton

Never as I'm far too young you old gits

and that old pikester is what most of us really wanted to say from the start:rolleyes: But we were either too shy or too unimaginative to say the words:wicked:

Correct There have just been a few posts with no link to Mr Sadot's original topic whatsoever that's all.

Keep on topic folks....there is a new thread re clothes etc here:

If nothing else it's bl**dy cheating innit ! It's taken me long enough to learn to be this bad with practise!!

Ah James did you go to Trickster's classes...go on admit it, you did didn't you!!

Oh yes!

The Carousel on Plymouth Grove Mcr circa 1986..first record I heard that I knew (spent all night freezing and not knowing one record until this point) was Landslide. Then I made a faux pas of asking Richard Searling for Tobi Legend at 3am..."It's a bit early love" was kind of what he said!

It's awful isn't it Rach, I have had much trouble going anywhere near the news over the last few days as a mother of small children. It really is as bad as it gets! Maybe a few nights will have a whipround on the night this weekend and we will all maybe dig a a little and send a bit of what we can afford. Sounds like the sooner the better according to yesterdays' Le Monde (it's the only paper I buy cos of my course...pretentious moi??)

Covered up as Lee Otis Valentine not Williams.

Virtually, I've had access to the internet almost since it started so i've been lurking about Soul forums for a good few years now. Actually, I've been attending soul dos on and off since I was old enough to get past the door staff. And yes I do think that the internet has influenced how the "actual" soul scene has developed -in many ways. For years and year I went to places and just knew a few folk here and there and that was fine. Since KTF, NiteOWL (what was the other one called that Martin did?) I've probably met about 100 more people who I probably never would have talked to otherwise as I am a little bit shy in real life. Also "virtually" there are people on here who I chat to like one of the family and I've never met em! It has to be a good thing, the fibbing is a problem but that has always gone on. I can remember lads in the 80s bragging about their record collection when we knew all they had at home was a couple of SOS labels and the Big Wheels of Motown LP. It's just easier now with the availibilty of information out there. But real life is the same-everybody is an expert on everything these days!

Aw, how sad...one of my favourite lps, wounded woman. RIP xx

Elton at Cleethorpes, ha ha I think he's been on the wagon too long to risk that :-) That kind of reminds me (no offense Ady..) of that Vicar of Dibley episode

I think the amount that they would certainly ask questions is 10K. They may ask for lower amounts depending on the bank. So long as you have an explantion though there shouldn't be a problem.

If you do that check with them that there won't be any significant delay. Sometimes if the branch is busy they don't key the paying in slips in until after the busy period so it may not show on Johnny's account for an hour or two, I can't see that there should be a problem with the amount -it may be different if it was £10K! But check nevertheless just in case before you pay it in! The other alternative is a bankers draft?

Can you not just pay the cash directly into a branch of his bank?

Sounds like the same chap!

I have almost made it over a couple of times so far....2009 was a very "almost" year! Eddie Wainwright...now that name sounds familiar, although there's probably a few Eddie Wainwrights in Yorkshire How old is he ? Fortyish?

Sounds like an offer I can't refuse......as long as I don't have to bring Richard though I haven't been to the 100 for an age!

Thank heavens for that!! Any clues where??? Wigan...what kind of place is that for an allniter..... Keep me posted

After counting on one hand how many times I've attended a soul type event in 2009 I have decided to try and make an effort to get out more in the New Year! But I am very set in my ways and apart from the obvious events that I always attend I haven't been anywhere "new" for as long as I can remember! Therefore, I am calling out to all you Soul Source dirty stop outs for recommendations for 2010!! I am going to be open minded on this and not specify any particular music style or type of event (ie niter,weekender, soul night). I'm not even going to insist that it is easy to get to from Manchester - if it's good enough I can book a room or suffer the train. So please help if you can contribute to my official coming out of hibernation year

Rachel and I used to get mistaken for each other a lot - obviously in the dark as the girl is nearly 10 years younger than me!! I also used to get mistaken for my friend Julie who didn't have glasses and actually looked "totally different to me" except the fact we were both blonde and around the same age. I put that down to being hammered, there's no other explanation
