Another from beside Ullswater....

Time to take out that subscription, methinks.....

Here my deer. Beside Lake Ullswater this afternoon......

Anyone with the moniker "modernsoulsucks" can't be all bad. Nice one Rod.

Top of the Rock, 1982. HMS Ambuscade down in the dockyard, just before heading to the South Atlantic....

Taken from a Virgin balloon. Brougham Castle....

Another little incident during the same deployment.....

Seven feet long white tip shark, weighing in at 172lbs.....

They need to give us a bit of notice Mal. The old ice cream suits need to be dug out of the bottom of the kit locker, then washed and pressed. The shoes need blancoed. "Hands to bathe" is more impromptu, where the crew get the chance to swim in the ocean. Just after one such occasion, a shark turned up. A couple of the lads baited a big hook on the end of a chain and managed to catch it. It took four rounds in the head from a Self Loading Rifle until it stopped wriggling. Then it was shark steaks for supper.

HMS Hurworth, Hunt Class Mine Countermeasures Vessel. I served on her sister ships Cattistock and Bicester.

Agreed. It's good to hear what the DJ has to say (most of the time), whether it's announcing the record, acknowledging the previous DJ's efforts, or calling out the raffle.

Lord, what's happening to your people?

I actually think she is singing Tova, which is a Hebrew name. Rhymes nicely with think it over.

Here's one from 1983 in the Indian Ocean. I'm kneeling at the bottom right of the line up....

Sounds about right Peter. Honeysuckle in the foreground, and somewhere between the two is jasmine. They all flower at different times. The birds love it amongst that lot. There's four different acers in the other photo. The two in front of my shed have really taken over and will need to be pruned at the end of the year. Here's a photo taken less than 5 years ago....

No Baz, I sling my hammock under there.

Everything is well in the garden......

Affect.

Don't think the special effects budget would have covered it.

This was the scene on Blackpool seafront a few weeks later...

Currently £20 + £3.95 p+p from Universal..... https://store.udiscovermusic.com/*/*/Chess-Northern-Soul-Volume-II/595L0000000

Steve, I have just been looking back over this thread as I noticed someone is selling them on eBay for over £100, plus £34 shipping from Australia. I'm glad you finally got a boxset, as it looked unlikely at one stage. Incidentally, the Aussie seller describes the boxsets as numbered and part of the limited run of 2000, although the photos don't show a number on the back of the box. I know this "limited edition" suddenly became less exclusive when Universal decided to extend the run, presumably to meet higher than expected demand, and the extra boxsets weren't numbered.

Definitely heard Fats Domino played in the main room circa '79, but between 5 and 6am. I was looking through some record boxes at the time. Funny what you remember.
