Winnie :-)

======= Good point Col/Brian, I'm off to Desborough in 10 mins. Winnie:-)

======== Brian? I thought you were Col? The people I'm really referring to by the way, are the ones who hide behind their secret identity to post derogatory, or inflamatory (Sh*t, now I'm worried if I'm gonna be pilloried if I spelt inflammatory incorrectly) remarks. Winnie:-)

======== I think the ability to spell is irrelevant to the content of the posts. I would like to think that SS members can look beyond spelling, punctuation and grammar. After all, none of would want to feel responsible for people being scared to post, for fear of being pulled up for their spelling. As Shane said, it was meant to be a light hearted post, hopefully it will stay that way Winnie:-)

===========

======= Something that winds me up? People not putting their names at the bottom of posts, just think it's polite to do so. Winnie:-) PS. Godz know you have put your name before, so not talking about you.

========== Hammy, You got all that from a one line comment from me? I never for one moment thought that the 'white is shi*e' comment was meant as a racist one, but from experience, think it's best explained so that no misinterpretation can take place. Winnie:-)

========= Can you expand on this statement?

========= Sounds like you're spending too much time on the village people scene

========= Read it James, and think I totally understand now.... The words Cu*t and funk scene do seem synonomous Winnie:-)

========== Now that made me laugh JT, if you're really gonna cut it on the funk scene, get yourself some 'soul glo', dude Winnie:-)

======== Is that the one that Rob Messer is in?

======= You've only said that to get respect from the funk 'massive' What about them funny plastic sandals the 'funksters' used to wear, bet they're still in evidence at your weekenders Actually does anyone on here go to the funk weekenders....are there people there, bimbling about in hawaian shirts, peg leg trousers etc reliving their youth in the 'Devils Den' Winnie:-)

========== Just want to point out that 'cant' should really only be used by Londoners, cos in the hands of outsiders (essex and the like) it really gets bast*rdised by the bumpkin twang they attach. For proper usage go to www.urafackincant.com .......it has soundclips so the unitiated can improve their accents Winnie:-)

======== Quite right Ali, I mean in all honesty, can anyone take what JT says on a funk message board with a total of 17 members, who probably all wear silly shirts seriously? Winnie:-)

============ First person I heard using the term was a girl called Karen Saville in the early 70Ts. I kinda thought it was cute, and have used it since in reviews etc. Don't think it was ever meant to offend, just a little wordplay Winnie:-)

========= Is it a serious question, or did you just want to get the mastur*bate gag in

======== Yep, I've noticed better get this one back on track, before it's usurped Certainly sounds like a very good CD Winnie;-)

===== I think it would be easier to explain the meaning of life, than resolve the boots vs originals debate

====== Didn't get to pressssstatyyn this year as I have a course I have to go on ;-( Read your post, and think it's the most soulful one of the year......probably cos you put in a 'yeah' and an 'oh yeah'

======= Baz, What if she covered a northern or motown classic? Something that we all consider soulful, could she pull it off? She is a commercial singer, and she is in it for the money, no one doubts that, but isn't/wasn't everyone? In the 60Ts, when singers released their records, do you think they were hoping for success, or failure, I would guess the first. If said release had been successful, (say J.D. Bryant) and charted, then it would have been lost to the northern scene because it wouldn't meet the obscurity criteria required. It probably wouldn't even be mentioned on SS, and would be generally be regarded, as just another commercial release, for the uneducated masses. Winnie:-) PS personally I think she's a good singer, and capable of soulful performance

======= Also seen in a couple of adverts, one for tango, as a postman and one for some dodgy album of 70Ts music, might even have been soul, can't remember. He jigs about like he's really enjoying himself :-)

========= I can go along with this sentiment, well the bit in inverted commas anyway :-)

======== Well it looks Arsenal orientated, but can't be sure.....perhaps you could enlighten me?

========= I guess the yawn may have something to do with your avatar :-)
