Lovely Russell Making me yearn for the Greek Islands - I haven;t been for years, Crete was the last one. Might have to come out of my reclusive lifestyle and take a trip. Peter

Dave Thorley had one. PM him. P

LOL I'm such an arse! I don't even know what I know! Nice one John

Wow, that's impressive. Well done to you all. Peter

They're all up for offer until Wednesday. Unless you blow Bearsy away with a top offer. Well, that's what the lad said in his post.

Ah. That's lovely Steve. Just fed the hedgehogs. Bless you both. Peter

You've done well with your holiday photographs again Steve. A pleasure to look through them. What does Lou do whilst your waiting for your next big picture?!

They're great Andy.

Wow! That's a super photograph Steve - well done. I took a last minute two day break from my reclusive existence to join my brother and his wife who were having a week in north Wales - they were staying in Prenteg, near Porthmadog - Aberdunant Caravan Park is very nice. There's a successful Osprey breeding site about two miles away so I was sure to visit there - otters too. I didn't get any pictures but I did get to view the nest through the telescopes. Not much to compare with all of your great photographs but it was a privilege to be there. I was told that there are five adult birds there - one mating couple, the male who originates from Africa but was reared in a covered cage at Rutland Water (part of a wider programme) before being released. Very interesting. Here's a link. http://www.glaslynwildlife.co.uk/

That you in the middle Steve?

All good here mate.

Thanks Smudger! EDIT - almost forgot, always loved this record.

They were introduced from America and are in 85% of our rivers now - there are millions of them. They have all but wiped out our native crayfish. You can catch them very easily using a similar trap to a lobster pot baited with fish. You just need a licence from the Environment Agency. They are good eating - and free.

Thanks for posting them both up. I'm deaf - but they are very different. The Your is far more soulful and less harsh in my opinion. Peter

Didn't know that there were two takes! Peter

Confusing.................... But I am very dim. Very dim.

You complete minority!

Cos it's one mean soul record. Probably a a contender in the top five soul records of all time - super dance record. Purely subjective, but I'm confident some people will concur. I've always loved it and still do.

Bugger!

Probably the finest sets I ever heard from Sir Dickie at Wigan. The blend of 60's newies and modern was awesome. Always remember Richard playing the Deadbeats followed by Omni. Brilliant.

I'll probably go down as a plastic now! I only went to Wigan three times.

LOL Ok

What about Cleethorpes and Clifton Hall Len? I did go to a few Wigans - late on.
