How can you put a value on something that you cherish and gives you pleasure? Anyone interested in the wife for seventeen and sixpence in old money. ROD

Cunnie, that is uncanny as I was going to relate the story of the time Candi Statton saw my act at the Holiday Inn,Macon. She too asked me: "Now,what you got up her,a hand?" My hand was of course holding the strings that opened and closed her mouth. Just wish I had those strings today. ROD

I used to do a novelty ventriloquy act but instead of a dummy I had the wife sit on my knee. Less lifelike than a dummy but cheaper. I was in the Holiday Inn, Lansing doing my act and I noticed one young lady glaring at me from the audience. After the performance she came up to me and told me that my act was demeaning to women, and despite trying to defuse the situation she became abusive and threatening, telling me that if I ever talked out of my wife.... Yes, that young lady was Dena Barnes!!!!

Inspiring words from the Fuhrerbunker, indeed. Northern Soul Lebensraum and a world fit for soulies!! Today Stoke, tomorrow Oswestry!! Why stick at just the one? Northern Soul 1 The Empires on Top,Girl Northern Soul 2 Revenge of the Rotations Northern Soul 3 Chewbacca does it "doggy style" with Lada Edmund Jr. Now, that I'd pay to see!! If there are any small parts going, the wife says I already have one. ROD

No Dan, that was Ian Levine who's washed up on a beach in Blackpool. With a beard and tuxedo he's a spit for Pavarotti who is a famous tenner! Help I can't think of any more terrible puns. Im getting desperate,Dan ROD

I reckon you're wrong there,Dan. I checked Manship's guide and a tenner is now worth £25. ROD

I've now heard that it's a vampire movie. The undead stalk amongst the all-nighter crowd backing unwary soulies into dark lonely corners where they bore you to death with the time that they went to the Casino with Tommo from Loughborough. A stake through the heart is too painless a death for these monsters!! ROD

Tahanks are what soholdiers drive in case you were wondering ROD I've just been offered a tenner and two fivers as a swap. What do you think? ROD

I have a £20 note I got in Tesco just now. Can someone tell me how much it's worth. Tahanks ROD

Ethics!! What the F..k are you on about? Police. Now. ROD

What is it!! Boy meets girl. Boy gets girl. Boy swaps girl for LaBeat WDJ. Happy ending anyway. What a waste of f.....g time!! ROD

Hi Mark as a great fan and friend of yours I have to add to this thread that I understand your decision. I really want to share this with other Soul fans though, although I know it is going to embarrass you! I have enjoyed every venue I have been to that you have dj'd at.. your passion for the music has always stood out and equally, your skill as a true professional dj has marked you head and shoulders above many others in being able to read the floor, cater for all tastes, be entertaining, imformative etc etc, you will be missed Mark by so many,, your absolutely outstanding performance at the last Bury will remain with me forever, you made that venue come alive!! much love to a great mate CLARE ps i am sure that Rod would not agree with this but you know what a tosser he is!!

No, I had fair tunes at great prices but we'll have to agree to differ on that one!!

That's a very fair point and let me assure you that as a once full-time record dealer I made bugger-all in the way of money!! ROD

Pete, if they're overpriced they won't sell will they? I too am amazed at some asking prices. What's more worrying is when something sells at a very high price to one individual then it becomes the going rate. Fosland was completely different in that, despite the photo, he misrepresented a re-issue to give some people the idea it was an original. He appears to be doing the same with the DC Blossoms. https://cgi.ebay.com/KILLER-RAREST-NORTHERN...1QQcmdZViewItem

Of course I do. Why wouldn't I? I guess it's the need to own rather than just hear and each 45 is part of a jigsaw that I will never complete but the pleasure is in getting the individual pieces so at least I can kid myself that Im slowly getting there. Don't start me on sellers. "It's not for sale,mate" Then why the F... have you brought it out. Actually I had to do this last time at the Friendship in Barnsley. A guy wanted a 45 but I'd got this anxious signal from his girlfriend that she'd already got it for him as a Birthday gift, so I had to mumble that it wasn't for sale. He was pissed at me so if he's on this site by any chance Im sorry and Im not a dickhead. Shame really cos I wanted rid of it for £8 and she'd spent £15 on it!! ROD

Gotta be buying a 45. However, I don't get out much and when I do it's a load of overpriced tripe that nobody is in interested in and I guess an excuse for the seller to engage you in inane chit-chat. I don't care if Biffo is playing this track in darkest Bedfordshire, it's still Rosemary Clooney on Columbia for £25 and it's from the mid-50's and it cannot in any way be described as R&B. And that goes for your Surfaris "Wipe Out" which is definitely NOT a Northern instrumental. The above is based on an actual experience. ROD

Is it because of the same reason that there is no woMENSA? ROD

Well Gareth, that's put an end to this thread by the looks of it. You're right though. You have say 45 X and 45 Y and you think 45 Z will just go nicely there and make 100% difference but then it just appears to get swallowed up and collection appears exactly the same as it was before, and you're left to look for the next one and it happens all over again. I think the "tipping point" may occur when you forget you have a record. Not happened to me yet as I only have around 1000 but it may do with those with really big collections. ROD

To Steve, Im very well thank you and I can see you are the same. I understand you perfectly. I do the cryptic crossword and my wife works with disturbed patients. Between us we can usually figure out the gist of your ramblings. I look forward to seeing you again sometime. To Mark B, Mentioned this elsewhere on this site but I always think 45s I have are not as good as 45s I don't. It's what keeps me trying to collect. ROD

--> QUOTE(mark.b @ Jan 18 2006, 06:34 PM) link thank you for your kind words mr shard as nearly all my records came from you you are therefore to blame for my dj spots at the greatstone for a guardian reader you are a very good speller just wish you were still a soul seller bought some really shit records from you mark Surely some mistake here. "Shit" is a noun or an intransitive verb. You bought some "shite" 45s off me but I did point out that they were 70's at the time. ROD

Apart from sex, playing 45s is the only exercise I get. Which reminds me that I must get in shape as the sex is due again this August. Anyone know any good tongue exercises or will I have to hire the body-double again so I can get on with something more enjoyable like re-arranging the cutlery draw. Trouble with collecting 45s is that once you've got them, what then. You need another one before boredom sets in. ROD

To Stevie Z If I wasn't a Guardian reader I think I'd be tempted to give you a good slap.I think that's the most hurtful thing anyone has ever said to me. Always interested to see what you gotta say on here and Im sure one day some of it may make sense. To Heavenly Blocked, I've been to Weston Super Mare. ONCE!! There didn't appear to be any sea. Just some kinda river off in the distance. Bit of a drawback for a seaside/holiday resort. We stopped for an hour or so and then headed off to Birmingham as I thought there'd be more chance of the tide coming in there. To Mark Cowman's is still going strong and if I pop down to Greatstone I will let you know in advance and if you want any sausages I can pick some up. Wild Boar and Rosemary are a particular favourite. No wait, that was that blue film I watched last night. You actually run the club. I had wondered how you'd got on there as a dj Thank you all for your kind thoughts. ROD
