But it's such a good one and I like it!

WOW I'm impressed with the math thing!!! I can't even count how many Leffe's I drank at the wellie on sat!!

May I at this point salute my Mr Soul _ Gary Beattie. Got me into norhtern in about 1972 when he worked for my mum as a chef and used to DJ at St Asaph youth club_ GOd loves ya gary and thanks for bringing soul into my life KempiXXXXXX

The more youngsters that come onto the scene the better. I took my son to Prestatyn this year (he's 24) and he loved it. I feel that in our home we played a great variety of music while he was growing up, mostly soul but we had our punk years and rock years, our new romantic years and thanks to that he has a very open mind to all types of music and now DJ's dance/house type stuff (which I hate) along with SKA, plays guitar in a rock band and has a great respect for the roots of soul within all these types of music and has booked time of work for Prestatyn next year. Check out his almost Weller hair cut - my god I've spawned a MOD - only joking you modernists out there loves ya really

It's prbably only a temporary morph and still getting to grip with what's 21st centuary northern never mind having to brush up my rock as well, I am only human. This leather thing is great though - those curry and beer stains just wipe away!!!! CV Chrissie O Occupation - Very temporary rock chick Life's ambitions - to save the world from shit music The person I most admire - Sharon Osborne (Well you have to really, with a husband and kids like that, bless her) Don't worry the QOF will be back as I said this is only a temp morph and part of my therapy!!

Hear Hear!! Geoff Ware played Linda Griner (good bye cruel "whatever") for me last night without me even having to ask, just knew I was there and played it - probably to stop me from nagging him (well that's what his wife Pat said anyway). Top DJ knows his audience(are all in their late 40s)!!!

As you can see I have morphed into a rock chick and I say lets hear it for Blaze of Glory, Bon Jovi - I can now see the first public flogging in Bedford on the horizon - you've got to find me first

Don't start me off again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now you're confusing me - here I am trying to bring myself into the 21st centuary after years in the wilderness and you want to bring back candi staton HELP!!! But back to your thread----- Everything in my very dated box. Could sell for a fortune and p*ss off to the sun! But you'd all miss me "NOT" QOF (oh you might like to try brining my signature tune back - but i wouldn't want to see you publically stoned - hard rock type things not chemically induced stoned. Mind you there hasn't been a public flogging in Bedford for a long time could be fun) XXXXX

someone stop me - I feel another epic coming on Shrine have u read the posts on the previous page!

But it doesn't workon grass - or was that with grass - don't seem to remember any more

You think you've got problems - I've moved out of London got out of advertising/media and look what I'm reduced to attending this sor tof event cos it's the only one that will have me on the decks or even let me through the doors

Have a good one mate - got soul free weekend - aghhhhhhhh but may go to this do it looks like fun Sorry wrong attachement QOF

I also used to live and work in advertising in London but I don't think they had invented alcopops then!!!!!

Some of us are getting to a certain age where maybe it might be worth starting them again - then we could be back in the home for lights out at 10, will there be special allowances made for our zimmers.

Are you sure. My other sometimes, partime, dropin from time to time man does them in the pub with his mate for fun - puts me off completely!

How are you with quadratic equations - don't answer that just trying to lighten the mood QOF

someone had to - but showing your age !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

as long as there is no Oo-ee, oo-ee baby, Oo-ee, oo-ee baby, Oo-ee, oo-ee babe, Won't ya let me ......................

Think the QOF has said enough for one day but I agree with col "what are you talking about" not being contreversial (never could spell that word) but just want to know what you talking about - Do they have all dayers in Wakefiled nick? QOF ps col you never did put up your blasts from the pasts like you promised!

Replied to little stevie's pm and the first rounds on me!! See you both in April I hope (that's you reg)

Yes plenty. Where do I start on this one. First of all Sir may I thank you for re-raising this thread as I have been waiting for someone to, so that I can put pen to paper, on a more serious note than the flippant sometimes cutting (but only meant in jest) remarks I some times make. I have been made welcome by the vast majority of people on this site (JT, Ken, BigO, Janine, Karneb etc etc.........u know who u are..),- and to you people I say thank you and apologise in advance for what is to come!!!! First I do agree with about 21 words of your posting I do think that soul-source attracts a certain type of punter though..I think most are wanting something a bit different. But that's about as far as it goes Handbaggers - now there's a term, do I qualify, usually only attend about once a month but would go to an all nighter ?. not the handbag revival crowd and over played/done to death top 500.. Lets take this in two parts 1. the handbag revival crowd (is this me) If I am not mistaken, and do please correct me if I'm wrong your definition of these people would be - someone who has been out of the scene for a long time and perhaps just wants to hear the same tunes they were dancing to 20-30 years ago Not someone who wants some good music once in a while or come back full onto the scene - or may be not, as the second part of your statement refers to 2. overplayed/done to death top 500 I don't know how old you are or how long you have been on the NS scene and frankly - "I don't give a damn", but let me into how it feels to be one of the revival crowd (or returnee as I prefer to refer to us). We've done our bit marrying the wrong men/women, bringing up kids, putting our careers first, all this rightly or wrongly, but for whatever reasons did not stay on the NS scene. We come back to a scene that unfortunately has people in it like yourself (and your not the first person on this forum to make similar comments) bigoted superior minded and basically up your own a*se. That over played top 500 you talk about - do you think us returnees want just to listen to what we were listening to at wigan in 73-74, no we also want to hear new discoveries but it does take time to catch up for 20 lost years, and some of this top 500 are like a comfort blanket to us until we catch up with the NOW! Other threads have dealt with the concerns over the NS scene dying off well it's hardly going to survive if people like you don't make people like me welcome. I have always thought the more the merrier - obviously not in your opinion as were not good enough for the likes of you. It is not only on this forum I have experienced this kind of superiority, was told not long ago, by a certain collector that I wouldn't enjoy a local event because they wouldn't be playing anything I knew - oh sorry am I only allowed to listen to what I listened to 30 years ago. I'll sum up how the scene could come across to some people, people maybe visiting the SS for the first time DJ's playing to DJs, "I'll show you yours if you show me mine" syndrome Bickering across the genres And that returnees are second class citizens. well maybe if it hadn't been for some of us and some of that over played 500 you talk about in the early 70s there wouldn't be a scene now. PS the QOF signature is a piss take on myself and to all the mistakes I've made in my life over the past 47 year - If you can't take the p*ss out of yourself then don't do it to others.

As you say non chemically enduced paranoia - not on!!! Think best take it up with my union rep????

glad to know not just me - thought my boss had got it blocked!!!!
