Glad to hear his is keeping his spirits up QoFxx

Sorry to hear that, say Hi to him for me and and hope hes feeling better soon QoFxx

What! all punks or just one or two. Same as anything really good and bad in all groups. I went through a punk phase in the 70s and never stole any records, so still a bit confused about your generalisation So it's ok to beat someone up as long as they are not a "soulie"errrrrrrrrrrrrrr I may be a bit thick but I'm still not getting your drift. I personally don't think it is ok to beat anyone up, but hey I'm a girlie so that's understandable I suppose QoFxx

I can see where you are coming from on this, but if this is the case shouldn't both parties be banned from events and not just the one person, who apparently came out on top of the fight And why should the people in his compay but not involved be banned? Because he came out worse in this fight does that excuse him from blame and automatically make him the victim? The people with him should of stopped the fight, that can be easier said than done when testosterone is in abundance ...............but the one thing I deffo agree with.....I'd rather have another drink And in reply for your comment that "I have never heard or seen a fight between TRUE soulies" does that make fights against non soulies ok. I have read many threads on here when people are talking about the "good old days" when they refer back to fights they started outside the Casino and other 70s venues, with punks, locals etc, is that OK then???????? QoFxx

I have to agree with you. Thankfully I did not see the fight but Dave Rimmer, who's view of things I respect and would take as gospel, why else would he even comment, said that it was clearly one on one. As far as I am concerned that is that. So why should fatfish68 (sorry don't know what your real name is) be barred from events because he was in the "alleged" perpetrators company at the time. Think back you guys....... If you had been banned from every event that any of your friends had been involved in fights/suffles at in your younger days, wouldn't you be a bit p*ssed. In fact many of us would never of been able to out again!!!! QoFxx

I worked there in the late 70s and we used to use the swimming pool for swimming lessons from school when the lido was shut. I remember it when it was a race track, my dad had horses down there QoFxx

OI YOU!!!!! thats the town of my birth you are taking the piss out of QoFxx

No harm done Martin, thanks for the explanation QoFxx

To be fair Matt with so many scams going on it's not surprising people have this reaction, I also know Martin, as do many people on here, and know he is a top bloke but with these things it is so easily possibly be someone masking as his site in order to get details. You have to be so careful these days. I did not see Martin's earlier post on the topic so it is quite easy that other people didn't either. QoFxx

I got the same email, not once but 5 times today. I have never bought anything from them either. I did not follow any links incase of the obvious but went to their site and emailed them through their contact page, but not had any reply. QoFxx

Come on ken, even you can see that's a boot not an issue, not even a very good one and cetainly not mint QoFxx

Couldn't agree more lew barton £6 now, he really should get out more QoFxx

Don't get me wrong, I take my hat off to these ladies, more bottle than I have, but it's just the way it has been put accross that makes it look like some sort of variety act i.e. borrowing their partners records etc and perhaps you are right they are in joint ownership. The respect has to be given to the likes of Jo, Linda ,Karen C, etc who have built up their own collections. Hope the night goes well and you all have a great time. QoFxx

Well said Baz, why should women DJs be set up as some sort of novelty act, if they are good they should get the bookings whatever sex they are Well said girl I personally would rather have my hands cut off than play any record (even if I had them) leave it to those who can like your fine self. QoFxx

ON here as Geoff........errrr funnily enough QoFxx

Me to, and found myself getting on with a load of work.............very scary QoFxx

People constantly moaning about what they don't like about the scene instead of thinking how lucky we are and just taking it for what it is and getting on and enjoying it while we still can QoFxx

Life would be sooooooooo boring if we all like the same music, I must admit some of the very early supremes I don't mind before it became the "Diana Ross" show but Aretha just can't get at all. But lets not get off topic (I know I started it ) yes I agree there is so much underated early motown that should get played out every now and again..........errrrrrrr but not too often. e.g. Sunday night at cleethorpes "AIn't no Mountain High Enough played to a packed dance floor. It's probably what got us all hooked in the first place in the early 70s QoFxx

Bit more about it here https://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/derbyshire/6691773.stm QoFxx

I just wait for you to turn up your sound system so I can hear it in town.................its much cheaper that way QoFxx

NOW!!!!! Offspring grown up, single, even more fantastic music discovered and having a ball QoFxx
