What a great start ste ,look forward to seeing the rest of your photos .

Hangin in , brilliant !!!

Mp3s and Cds are ok for playing in your car, if it was acceptable to play them out then all of us could be djs, I personally don't have a record collection and have respect for most djs who have spent a lifetime collecting vinyl, they have earned the right, I don't believe the excuse that its a good way to get young blood into "the scene", there is a group of young people in wigan that play OV in their own club, i'm sure that if other youngsters where that interested then they could do the same.

Dave the first photo was taken in the old days when we didn't have to wear a harness. My boots are about 80 feet from ground level.

Thanks Russell, I resized them and it worked a treat.

A few work related photos A view from halfway up a column on Stanlow oil refinery, about twenty years ago, the chaps lay on the ground are wearing Neoprene chemical hazard suits, like being boiled in a bag. Another view of Stanlow. Our dog turned a few heads on the motorway , ha. Runcorn thermal power station, A view of Widnes before the roof went on. Runcorn TPS, inside the boiler. Inside a vessel at Shell Carrington over twenty years ago, with my friend Chris Connor . RIP Suspended scaffold, Fiddlers Ferry power station, present day. p.s. how do I rotate photos ?

Three summers ago after I had discarded the bedding plants from this pot I noticed that it was full of ants so I put a strawberry on the soil and waited to see the ants devour it , surprisingly to me they didn't go near it (???) the fruit rotted away but the following year this little lot appeared

How awful , such a sad sight to see.

Many years ago on a lovely summers day when she was a toddler my 26 year old daughter was eating cherries in the garden, she spat the stone into a plastic cup of soil & compost, when it had taken root I transferred it to a larger pot & placed it at the end of the garden & left it to its own devices. As you can see it developed into this lovely tree You can see where it outgrew the plantpot

DITTO !!!

Perfect timing mate , worth the trip

Brilliant photos Ste , lovely birds , were did you see them mate ?

I went to the sunday Sink in the early 2000s . I had a tape from the club but I lent it out and never got it back , maybe someone has a copy ? . I also have a 3rd anniversary cd from October 2003 . Here are the sleeve notes ... The sink club originally ran from 1963 to 1971and was owned and ran by Neil English , a jazz , r'n'b and soul enthusiast who provided a club for kids of all races to attend and mix freely ( rare in the city at the time ) When the Magnet opened in 1999 it captured the ethos behind the original sink club and inspired Patrick and Stan to form the Sink Soul Club . a monthly event presenting original 60s soul sets in the relaxed atmosphere and unique décor of The Magnet .

I was still in school when I started going to the casino in the late 70s with the older lads ( Mr Smith above being one of them ) A few of the songs from the early year podcasts were being played in Mr Ms as oldies when I went there , its amazing how many tunes you forget that you know until you hear them again , thanks for sharing ....Ste
