Will pm you with hotel/B&B finds for prestatyn in a few weeks - going to an all nighter on 23rd April in Llandudno so will have a mooch then. Oh and in answer to the thread - watching telly with Stella the slapper (Artois) and having a soulless eve but my deck keeps looking at me and I am sure it is saying come on play me. lol QOF XX

PS you should see the crap I've bought at 2 in the morning - beat this even bid and won a record I already had last week - well always declared to be the QOF does this confirm it

Our local KFC now has auctions last weekend 2 pieces of chicken, chips and coleslaw fetched £85 mind you it was 2 in the morning and all the punter were under the influence. Tip list your ebay stuff to finish after midnight and at weekends this way the bidders have just got back from the pub and will bid on anything. JOKE!! before you start throwing things at me for taking advantage of the alchollically challenged QOF XXX

Will do - but Mr Smirnoff may feel left out!!

McGuiness still ripping you off then Dave - tee hee only joking QOF XX

Mike I, like yourself and probably 95% of the people on the forum, am a purist but bringing the music to the attention of new people is important and if that's his way of doing it fair enough the people he introduces to the music may also become purists, and eventually vinyl junkies just like us. When someone these days first gets into NS it's very unlikely that they will even have a deck so CD's and MP3 is the only way they can play the music, until they get hooked and fork out for decks and vinyl. I have read Dave's other posts, re - cost of vinyl etc, and I can empathise, though do not necessarily agree, with some of the points made. I am just "front room" DJ trying to replace the collection of about 600 7" I lost 30 years ago (not the same records of course) and have probably spent about £250+ in the last three months getting to the grand total of about 50 records. I don't have a problem with the prices on the market at the moment - if I can't afford it I don't buy it, and am not envious of the people who can afford them in fact have respect for collectors who bring new discoveries to us and take the time and spend the money to do this. Dave is a main stream soul/oldies DJ and although his personal preference is for NS, he needs to keep a far wider selection of sounds so as to please "his public" to be able to carry such a wide choice of music as well as NS would cost him a fortune and take a serious number of years to collect. He does not profess that he is a NS DJ and does not pretend to be one but because his work is more mainstream doesn't make him one of the unwashed. He is spreading the word, which was my main point - and that can only be good can't it?

Prefer the other guy - rather someone who would pay to get the washing and ironing done

Now that sound like my kind a guy!!!! Intro please

Before you all start throwing your teddies at Dave, or the soul police come and arrest him, IMO he is making some very good points. Where as I would not want or expect to see CDs/computers etc used at NS gigs he is trying the best way he knows how to spread the word. We all see the demise of the NS scene as we all fall off this mortal coil as inevitable, but Dave is passionate about his music and by introducing it to new people in any way he can or feels will work, he is doing his up most to make sure the scene stays alive which is more than I can say for a lot of us (Yep that's me included). Pub nights are important to the NS scene as they open up an opportunity for people who apart from the KFC ads have never really heard it and think it's some obscure weird cult where people wear funny clothes and shake talc on the dance floor, to hear what it's really all about. OK you can't play all northern at some of these evenings but by using main stream soul oldies as the theme it is very easy then to blend in some NS and get the interest going. My local pub in Bedford has 4-5 NS dos a year and the majority of people there are not off the scene but people out for a night out and it's surprising how many of them start asking questions about where else locally they can go to hear more. Keep spreading the gospel Dave - you know it makes sense!!!! QOF XXX

TAke it you've put a bid in then and are you booked on FLog It Next Week then

Sounds scary - glad not going. Not really but just can't be there.

Don't you think I've said enough

Who's the anorak now then - can I hand over the title?

DOn't know nothin bout funk forum as a bit old for all that stuff and know very little about the NS scene now as returning from the depths of the 70s but certainly learning a lot from these guys. Started collecting again this year but have never paid more than £15 for a record. The bickering and piss taking is good fun and the peeps are ok really - Have never met any of the lunatics (and wouldn't admit it if I had) apart from one or two who were on my local scene 30 years ago and haven't seem them since (thank god I hear them say). Read - Learn - Take Part If you need to know anything about NS/Modern etc this lot will have the answers so you only need to ask. If I reply with any information it will be a load of bull as I've probably just got back from the pub and I know nuffin. Some of us come accross as opinionated (well me really) but it's sometimes just to get good banter going - and it works. lol Ms Handbag oops I mean your loving caring sharing QOF

I know none of em and if anyone says any different i'll sue!!!!! Got my reputation to keep - honest

Nah the "Handbag" dance is much better or the "back drop and don't spill your beer" dance - still learning that one!

Who's watching us!!! I sometimes wonder who all the "Guests" are visiting the SS and what they think of us all. Could they be aliens from another planet studying earths various leisure activities. Could they be fashion designers trying to sus out what trends to resurrect, god I hope not, I ain't wearing those tank tops ever again, not even in the name of FASHION Could they be the record company dudes looking to see what type of music to re-release as covers by some 5 min wonder boy band. Or Could they just be normal human beings needing a good laugh, thinking "should these people be allowed into the real world amongst ordinary people!! I like to think it's the Aliens and on a planet somewhere in another solar system little green men are listening to NS doing spins and backdrops. What do you think??

Was it that little black mini skirt you were wearing that casued the strange look

There is no thing as a sh*te dancer dave as long as you feel good "Be Young (ok in our case slightly older) be foolish but be happy" Any way I'll be the judge when you "throw some shapes next thursday" Thanks for your post today it has been good fun and given us an excuse to laugh at ourselves (oh and ken), thats what its all about Oh dear I feel some sh*t lirycs coming on again - you know those ones you can't get out of your head - as Joe said earlier All together now Put your left leg in Your left leg out In Out In Out F**K off you all know the rest "And it's good night from me and it's good night from him" (maybe). Who's the him help "Theres a (bloody) ghost in my house" again - and before you all start taking the mick yes I have had a couple of beers this eve!!! QOF XX

Excuses Ken Excuses!! Ken - What do you think of the new Avatar- Cool Heh
