Simsy

Don't sugar coat it Gash! Tell us how you really feel ...

I don't think your mad Ged. Don't know why it gets so much stick. I like it

You're on

Thanks for that Ged. I simply must get myself along to Lifeline and see how it's upfrontness stacks up against my beloved 100 Club.

No your dead right Simon. He's also the landlord of the Queen Vic in Gt Dunmow. So I rang him and asked him if he had fifty copies of better use your head in the loft ... he didn't

She's white allright. Think Col was closer with South Africa as country of origin.

If you fancy a UK Atlantic issue (of Esther) Andy, let me know. Good 60's tune - Creedence Clearwater - Fortunate Son.

Had a tape recorder at one of the nighters and Danny's hand over just always sticks in my mind ... "Thanks to Keb for the last half hour, you got me for the next and er, as usual a few oldies, a few new stuff and of course for those who want em, a few modern sounds". "Kicking off with this one, Rufus Lumley, I'm standing". Happy days ...

We are sliding off topic again me also. However as stated the main points raised in this thread have been pretty much answered. So assume this will gently sink over the weekend.

Life story just a PM away mate

Not 'My heart will go on' then Col ...

(wee off topic) She knows er onions Col, be advised And that ain't no generalising. He don't mean nothing by it Sherry trifle he's a good egg honest. (back on) If this thread is nearing it's conclusion, I for one have learnt a few things. There's been some interesting and valid points made by all. I have learnt I must head north soon. Also confirms to me that there is great northern soul being played every week all over the country and aren't we the lucky ones! For as my good friend Smudge said once of the non believers/civilians/citizens call them what you will ... "Simsy they don't know do they". 11.30 got to lay this burden down.

Chill. With you on that bad day at work thing, nearly the weekend bruv Couple of points though; Don't agree with the "stating the bleedin obvious" line as same dj's there and here etc, so kind of a grey are thus far despite discussions. Also not seen anyone say the north has any lesser of a scene. Lastly and got to whole heartedly agree with you on this one, the fashion thing had me stumped n' all. Hope you have a better day tomorrow, don't let the bast*rds grind you down.

I agree.

Your a top man in my eyes Jamie

Nothing wrong with southerner's my best friends are. However (in a lot of cases) they are slower off the mark in the getting to know you stakes.

True But you take my point, never have I heard a stranger say "how are you then" or sim in a tube situ or public place darn sarf. If we are allowed to generalise and I'm not sure it's such a high crime, I think things are slightly different up north.

Without even generalising about rare soul fans be they from the north or south. I have always found northern folk more friendly, simple as that. Take a tube ride for half an hour ... know what I mean?

I'll ave a word with yer when you get back from that mountain biking. Your'e not gonna go on at me about the generalising/confidence thing again are you Col, please. I don't know from your above post whether you think the north/south music difference is tosh, or northerner's being more warm than southerner's is tosh. Do advise. I stand full sqare behind both btw. Lets have some low grade arguing - couple of posts shy of 500, should be good.

I would agree that Northerners are more friendly in respect of being approachable. Southerners are terrified of catching someone's eye that they weren't necessarily trying to and with that rationale, it's tough to make new pals.

Ditto

Not really. Well yes really, but Supercorsa too. Enough off topic Northern, Southern, Soul isin't it ... marvellous ...

Cheers Mikey, you're not so bad yourself

Yes R&B of course! Great post Stevie
