Foxy

I may have to re-think my boast of having a go at dancing to any dam thing they play at a venue. Not that my feet couldn't move to it...just don't think my ears and what's left of my brain could stand it again

Although I originate from Wednesfield Wolverhampton I do now live in Telford. I was also in Telford for some of the time period talked about. Came over around late 79 when mom left Dad so for a while I lived both places. Was working at Greenhous Telford and had been travelling to various Soul events (including Wigan) mostly on my own until one girl realised what I was doing and started to scrounge a lift with a few of her mates. Can't remember anyone's name unfortunately, I know she lived not far from Finger Road Garage Dawley. I used to collect and drop people off various places including, Sutton Hill, Woodside and Madeley. Should anyone remember grabbing a lift in a clapped out Viva with a lunatic driver chances are that was me. I don't usually admit to being around Telford at the end of Wigan because I refused to go to the very last one - after going and being told it wasn't really the end I thought they were taking the P so didn't go to the real last night, hence I guess the people hoping for a lift may not have made it there because of me. Hope enough water has gone under the bridge and I am forgiven After '81 Also remember a few people grabbing lifts back from the Top Of The World - funny I seem to recollect giving more people lifts back than I took - must have made their own way there and jumped in with mates on the way back. All a long time ago now. After that I travelled around pretty much on my own since my wife wasn't into Northern and wasn't happy about me being an unpaid taxi - never mind the crazy hours I was away

Have already posted best wishes for Carl's recovery elsewhere but would like to add them here too Didn't find out until the Saturday All-Dayer that Carl Piper had this heart attack. Would like to personally wish him well. Hope he is back to fighting fitness soon and once again able to demonstrate how good a dancer he is and how acrobatics can be done. Keep smiling and big thumbs up for quicker recovery Carl.

Ok so mine does relate to my surname and gets used everywhere by everyone I know. (My siblings suffer the same fate). Some people think my nickname is appropriate to me, (along with the avatar) - presume they mean I am a sly old dog - surely can't mean I am Foxy in some other way....can they?

Here's hoping there is some room left in the country to bury me when the time comes so that my on going current favourite Cody Black's "Slowly Moulding" is apt - well as far as the title goes - the lyrics might not mean much at the ceremony tho I would like the reason I was there to be something similar to Bernie Moore's "I Wanna Be Loved To Death"
