Hello fellow Disciple Fans! Thanks for that info. Matt - how was Fabric last week? Unfortunately, I was away but the line up looked superb. Have a good weekend whatever you do.

Matt at 17:20:44 Friday August 31 2001
Niki and Kaya - you may just want to mention to folk that SPIRIT is back on next Friday at The Clinic. Oh, and that the bar runs till 3am. And that TJ's playing. And that, unlike Old Trafford, you get a proper atmosphere down there. (Yes, I used that joke on soul24-7 an' all). Northern Jane, if Disciple plays anywhere near as good as he did at the 10th Anniversary bash at Fabric, you're in for a fine time.

SWAT at 17:19:46 Friday August 31 2001
He's also plaing @ the End next Sunday along with the king of the Biscut tin.

Northern Jane in Ready to leave work at 17:11:57 Friday August 31 2001

Niki's joke along the same l in es at 12:8:22 Friday August 31 2001
This bloke walks into his local pub with a big grin on his face. "What are you so happy about?" asks the barman. "Well I'll tell you," replies the bloke, "You know I live by the railway? well on my way home last night I noticed a young woman tied to the tracks, like in the movies. I of course, went and cut her free and took her back to my place. Anyway, to cut a long story short, I scored big time!" He continued "We made love all night, all over the house. We did every thing, doggy style, spoons, me on top, sometimes her on top. I was totally shagged out this morning!" "Fantastic," exclaimed the barman, "You lucky sod, was she very pretty?" "I dunno," he said " I never found her head."

Steve at 11:52:29 Friday August 31 2001
A Cruise in the Pacific goes all wrong, the ship sinks. There where only 3 survivors: 2 blokes and a girl.......... They manage to swim to a small island....... They lived there for a couple of years doing what was natural for men and women to do.............. After several years of casual sex all the time, the girl felt really bad about what she had been doing................... She felt having sex with both blokes was so bad that she killed herself............... It was very tragic but the two blokes managed to get through it and after a while nature once more took its inevitable course................... Well, a couple more years went by and the blokes began to feel absolutely horrible about what they where doing..................... So................ They buried her.

Niki at 11:40:12 Friday August 31 2001

it happend to me!!! at 11:33:16 Friday August 31 2001
Just imagine if you will,haveing spent most of the day making something special for some one you care about deeply. and late at night 2am to be precise, your passing there house, knowing that there are usually up at this time, all excited you see there light on feeling MORE excited about the lovely reception you think your gonna get from the person that cares for you tooo!!! just for one moment your thoughts are that the person is in bed and it could be the lodger up, as romantic all this sounds you still wouldent want to wake the person up you care so much about. the only way of knowing this is if you look throught the letter box to make sure before knocking gently, as you do this, your eyes are seen by the one you care about,because its late they get scared!!they dont know who are what is happening.they realise over a few seconds who it is, there fear turnes to anger.there so scared they call the police, thinking the person they care about has gone mad.what started as a romantic gesture turnes into a phycological disaster.the person has to walk away hurt dissapointed confussed wondering weather the person cares at all......... WHAT DO YOU THINK?????????

Gilo at 11:16:1 Friday August 31 2001

Morning.Saw Jon Lucien@Jazz Cafe last night.Absolutely F*****g brilliant.The best I have ever seen him,so go see,go on,go on,go on,go on.Also the warm up DJ was dropping some great tunes Barbra ann,Brazilian love affair,900 shades of the blues to name a few and may have enlightened me about the mysterious Jon Lucien track that Jonesy played @QoS it might not be him but a new track by a guy called Victor Davies . Just thought I would share these thoughts with someone!!!

Lee at 10:19:56 Friday August 31 2001

Morning all, caught the end of the best ever 'soap' moment last night.The Stan and Hilda bit,Did anyone else think it was a realy sad.Phil had to make a quick exit back to painting (he couldn't watch).My youngest son (14)didn't rate it at all.I just started to think about about being a kid at home,having my tea, dad coming in from work,argueing with my brother and sister,all those things you take for granted at the time....jumpers for goalposts.....mmmm..i am getting OLD, get a grip Netty. IT'S FRIDAY THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE!

Mad Eyes at 8:0:39 Friday August 31 2001
MMMMMM what night time privacy youve got too. hah ah ahhahhahahahhahahahahahahahahHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

Bomber at 7:59:12 Friday August 31 2001
Morning all. For anyone not having my email address here you are.

It happened to me.... at 2:42:12 Friday August 31 2001
Imagine, if you will, waking up at 2.00am, having fallen asleep to bad television. You are thirsty so, stumbling in the half light, you make your way to the kitchen for water. The blazing interior of the refridgerator blinds you and when you close the door, the darkness plays tricks with your eyes. Is that flicker by the door the light reflected from the television reflected in the window? Surely such a heavily hinged letterbox cannot flap so wide on such a still summer night. As you approach the door, the letterbox swings wide and you see mad eyes staring into your nightime privacy...(the events on which this story is based took place on the morning of 31st August 2001 at around 2.00am)

D'Arcy in The Cellar, Turning Bottles at 0:11:24 Friday August 31 2001
Bomber, can you mail your addy please, since it wos your virus wot ate it. Cheers P.S. Brunello di Montalcino / Pieve di Santa Restituta 1991, the nectar of life itself.

Kaya at 22:31:57 Thursday August 30 2001
Hi all. Jo, I'm afraid that I probably won't be able to attend Caistr ths time, due to other commitments. I'm being committed. Hopefully the psychitrists will think I'm sane enough to attend by May. I'll keep me fingers crossed, as I will my arms which will probably be srapped that way in the straight jacket...

scouserpaul at 22:29:3 Thursday August 30 2001
Bomber, sorry I wasn't very sociable tonight but I'm up to my eyes in work & completely knackered as well. Call you soon.

Bomber at 22:27:38 Thursday August 30 2001

Bomber at 22:19:22 Thursday August 30 2001

Steve W aka SWAT at 9:28:17 Thursday August 30 2001
Due to an incident last night I'm now mobileless. The Sim card has been disconnected (thanx Orange) so please don't phone me on that number. Just what I don't need 2 days before my Hols.

Doris at 8:51:40 Thursday August 30 2001

Prune at 16:34:19 Wednesday August 29 2001
Mr Tights. I think if your trying to describe yourself , your more like a Pop Sock. How could your thighs be put into a pair of tights. It would be criminal.

Mr Blackmail at 16:5:18 Wednesday August 29 2001
Oi CD how much for the picture? or do I send it to Niki to publish.

CD at 15:56:58 Wednesday August 29 2001

Steve at 17:42:27 Tuesday August 28 2001

Nick P at 15:16:21 Tuesday August 28 2001
Sorry Doris!!! As i said, the alcohol was in full effect!! Can't remember the walk back to the hotel or a certain someone being ill all night!!!!

Any idea who recorded the fruit song ...Please ?

SWAT at 13:34:49 Tuesday August 28 2001
just to say thanx to a few people who made the weekend swing: Mark M (for Thurs),Guy & Luke @ Defected (Luke you were soo fine Sat),Chris, Lanza taxis, all @ the Folly sun esp Debs, Phil & Rob (the new Talc kings, Rob (white vest) Watson, matt & fran, Richard,Sam & Jo (dinnertime), Ergun,All @ the Pistols doo esp Phil Jenkins for actually making it happen, Eddy, Pete & Claire, Chris Mc, Lucy, Lisa (all the way from LA) & of course Ray (hardest working man in showbiz), Everyone I bumped into @ Carnival Hinton et boy,Dave & carol, Renee & the wall crew, Carlton Dixon (as in ex webbo channel 4 basketball dude. Its soo Good we do this. One Last thought Matt get off that table now!!

Niki at 13:22:37 Tuesday August 28 2001
We were to the left of the Good Times beer, fan and t-shirt lorry... had to rescue Rob from some lethal skunk he bought off a Rasta in West Row :o))))

Niki at 13:20:10 Tuesday August 28 2001
Weirdy, yeah that too!! Were there loos on the bus then?? There was some kind of corrugated metal effect that passed for a mens bog in the street - but was really just somewhere to go behind and pee up resulting in a river of weewee in the road - it was disgusting!! As it happened I wasn't caught short, but I've learnt my lesson from Carnivals past and didn't go for the usual gallon of lager!!

Weirdy at 13:12:1 Tuesday August 28 2001
Afternoon all and sundry. Niki, I was round the back of the Good Times bus between about 4 and 7 and must of missed you all. Loads of toilets, booze, sunshine and some great sounds too. You sure you wern't lost (or lost it !) It was far to busy around the front though (not enough room to shake a cocktail stick let alone a booty). Don't you just love the newspapers great coverage of the event. Whoops, there wasn't enough people killed so they hardly bothered the lazy hacks....

Doris at 13:8:39 Tuesday August 28 2001
Afternoon! Nick P - have I upset you or something/ No thnaks for me! I'm hurt! But not hurt enough to tell you that you did contribute to the cab fare! Signing off honest, but wounded!

Niki at 12:33:50 Tuesday August 28 2001
Afternoon maaaates!! CD, I also had to have a bit of an extended lie-down after Carnival yesterday. Steve, sorry we missed you. Seems like a few hundred thousand mobile phones in a confined area played havoc with the signals. We did bump into Rob & Pete at Good Times, but surprisingly few people we knew. Things have changed a bit since the last time I went. Norman's still in the same place but draws at least a thousand more peeps than he used to, and he's got a big bus now.... no Radio 1 stage, no stage at Horniman's Pleasance... and even less loos than there used to be!!! Ridiculous state of affairs that there wasn't one portaloo in the whole Horniman's/Southern Row/West Row area. Anyway we came, we saw, we got the Good Times Carnival fans for souveniers, ate chicken and rice & peas, drank Kaya's 'Caribbean Cocktail', smoked a few herbal cigarettes, chilled in the sunshine and left before the plug got pulled at 7pm.

Matt Monday was manic, the Soulboys crew didn't manage to hook up, the sound was at times well ropey (far too much top)& only got better when the London Live broadcast kicked in inspiring probley the best moment a massed version of every one loves the Sunshine. The crowd thing was probly due to the fact there were no live stages/radio one. The best place to be was actually the back of the bus in the end

scouserpaul at 11:56:0 Tuesday August 28 2001
I just had a suss e-mail supposedly from Jane Fawkes titled Jester playlist 28. Watch out for this one, you know what to do.

Nick P at 11:55:4 Tuesday August 28 2001
Mornin' folks, thoroughly enjoyed Orsett - I think!!!! Sorry to anyone I bored silly, the alcohol didn't help. Many thanks to Dee, Allison etc for letting us share your cab - I owe you some more money for that (as I was reminded after I'd gotten out, about the only thing I can remember!!!). Anyway, a good night was had!!

Matt at 11:16:26 Tuesday August 28 2001
Anyone go to carnival on Monday? How was Norman? I chose soggy Sunday. Good Times lived up to their recent reputation for sound system nightmares, truely unlistenable. Ah well, nice chicken though.... in the rain. Simon - did you get to Orsett in the end mate?

CD-feeling real fuzzy at 10:26:4 Tuesday August 28 2001

Evenin' all, well it looks like Georgan I brought back some decent weather from Milan, shame that it doesn't match the 34 degrees that we became accustomed to, oh well never mind! On a more serious note, that some of you may already be aware of; **********CHOCOLATE SOUL************ CHOCOLATE SOUL. Due to circumstances beyond our control and that of Ben (the owner or Catch). The venue will be closed until mid September for essential works. So our planned residents party will not be taking place this Friday, August 31st. We can however confirm that it will be business as usual on September 21st, when our guest will be Gavin Page. Cya

AUDIT REPORT ON SOUL DOWN SOUTH AT SOUL HEAVEN in FAREHAM at 10:59:55 Sunday August 26 2001
Musicaly this was an excellent evening, 100%. BUT it must be noted for future reference that a certain member of the group (who was also DJing) did not change his shirt,from when he left home,until he arrived back home after the event. In the POLCIES and PROCEDURES manuel it states that at an event of up to 5hrs duration a change of shirt MUST take place, an event over 5hrs TWO changes of shirt must occur. Note. this will be taken to the next commitee meeting for discussion.

Claire at 10:4:45 Sunday August 26 2001

Looking forward to the Cock too!! Did anyone (apart from Hilly) actually go there first time round?? Bod & I decided last night that you would have to be at least 46 years old if you did...... admissions people???

Niki at 10:26:24 Saturday August 25 2001
How to fix your washing machine the girlie way.... #ring ring# "Hello" "Daaa-aa-ad" "What's up?" "My washing machine doesn't work" "What's wrong with it?" "It doesn't go round" (dad laughs and starts talking about stuff while Nik's eyes glaze over) "...... blah blah?" "Erm, I dunno it just doesn't go round. Can you fix it?" "I'll be round later" "Thanks Dad, what would I do without you etc.... " :o)))))

Well..that was Garage City's 10th birthday then!!! Fortunately those very kind people at TF Tull Ltd thought I was working that night and consequently paid me till 5AM!! Big THANKS to Chrissy T for the snide entrance, Andy Unique & Richie C seemed to be enjoying themselves!! Kenny Dope was on fire in the main room and the lure of the Cock (that name keeps cropping up lately!!)

Heres another joke for u all!! Three pissed up blokes stood on top of the eiffel tower, the first one said, "I bet you, I could jump off this tower and bounce all the way back up." The second bloke said that it was impossible and taunted the first to have a go. With that the first bloke lept off the tower, fell to the bottom and bounced back up. The second bloke was amazed and was convinced by the first to try it for himself. The second man lept from the tower and fell to his death on the cobbles below. With that the third bloke turned to the first and said, "You are right bastard when your pissed,Superman!"

Jonny H in Grays, Essex at 9:47:16 Friday August 24 2001
Caister Virgin!! September '01 will be my FIRST time!! (PLEASE BE GEBTLE WITH ME!!) Im going with seasoned professionals so I should be ok!! quick joke:A blind man walks into a shop with his guide dog. He walks right into the centre of the shop floor, casually picks up the dog and starts to swing the poor creature around his head. The shop security, noticing a flying dog in their store, decide to talk to the man with the dog. "What the fuck are you doing?" asks one of the security men, to which the blind man replies, "I'm having a look around."

Officer Comanding RAF St. Albans.NATO Strategic Bombing Base . in OPS room. at 20:15:5 Thursday August 23 2001
There is no truth in that rumor. Bomber Harris was offered refueling and change of ordinance, as a Military Advisor of a member nation. This hospitality in no way endagered the security of this top secret base. Operations of 16 Group Airbourne Division were not affected. This base still operates on code RED + 1. Further enquiries by the media will be ignored. :Major General Hanway CBE OBE DFSO.

Hi Lee !I didn't shop for long as it was a bit hot in the shop, but I bought my self a wee treat. I think is's £8 on the door check the events calender!

Lee at 16:13:46 Thursday August 23 2001
Hi CD, did you shop 'til you dropped??? I'd like to go to Orsett, but I'm a bit skint to be honest. I've had a few things crash out on me this month and I've just found out that I need to get some more bits for my puter soon. Can I get in on the day without a ticket?

Carl D at 16:2:5 Thursday August 23 2001
No play lists, but I'm now spinning on Soul24-7 (4-7pm) Any Soulboy shouts you know the e-mail address: soul@soul24-7.com. Hope everyone is OK.

Hi Lee, I eased the boredom by going shopping at Surrey Quays, BTW will you be joining us at the Orsett?

Buuurrrrrppppp

Dave D at 15:35:40 Thursday August 23 2001
Kaya the whole CD is good but highlights for me are 60s - Fantastic Four, Monitors and Jimmy Ruffin. The 70s bit includes "Love, Guess Who" - Martha Reeves and "Date With The Rain" - Eddie Kendricks - awesome choons! PS. The Blu Cantrell CD, out last Monday, is very good too.

Kaya at 15:25:17 Thursday August 23 2001
Afternoon Maaates! Virii, if you're plural, do you mean 'us'? Well Done Nik! Gotta say that I'll buy an album if it's good and avoid the politics at all costs!! Dave D, any outstanding gems on this one, mate?

Dave D at 15:22:18 Thursday August 23 2001
Niki, I agree Universal's behaviour is unacceptable. Soul-a-Go-Go have already had to take their music off. But they own the rights to so much stuff including Motown. You don't really expect soul fans to stop buying their product beacuse they are smashing the little websites with their huge corporate hammer. In the end it's the artists and the fans that lose out.

Steve at 15:15:48 Thursday August 23 2001
Ello maates. Well done Niki !

Virii at 15:13:44 Thursday August 23 2001
Why doesn't anyone like me?

Dave D, no offence mate, but as soon as I get home I'm going to delete your previous posting. Universal music have started legal procedings against Soul 24-7 for playing their soul music. Sorry but a record company with that sort of attitude doesn't deserve any support and I personally think us Soulboys should stop buying any Universal music immediately! Soulboys trade embargo commences here.....

Dave D at 12:53:18 Thursday August 23 2001
Sorry. Bomber - cheers! Must buy CD recommendation is Soul Satisfaction 2 The Motown Connection - v/a. If you enjoyed Tamla Motown Connoisseurs, you'll love this. Loads of lesser known and rare Motown from early 60s to early 70s and you should be able to pick it up for under a tenner. Support this CD - it takes a lot of hard work to get Universal to release this sort of stuff.

Dave D at 12:23:23 Thursday August 23 2001

Howdie Doodie Folks! I'm just wondering what the official world record is for the number of times anyone has has played the same song over and over again through use of the "Repeat Play" function on the CD. The reason I ask is that I think I may have a valid claim. The song in question? TOMORROW IN YOUR EYES from EASTSIDE CONNECTION feat TERRY CALLIER. Pour yourself a very cold one, sit back, soak up the last of the summer sun, listen, listen carefully and be transported to another place.....there might be a better way of spending excatly five minutes but right now I cannot think of one. "I hear laughter and I see tomrrow in your eyes..." True Love and Peace!

Niki in between Studio virus & mug cleaning duties at 15:2:43 Wednesday August 22 2001
Afternoon maaates. What a nightmare. The Studio was running Dr. Solomons AntiVirus but was still infected with the SirCam Worm virus. I removed it with Norton but as Tim said, it then won't let you open anything up. If you're having trouble with it go to http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.html and download the removal tool. That's what I did and it solved the problem. If anyone is having problems 'cos they can't get on the Net to download the removal tool, get a mate to download it and get it to you on a floppy..... and along with pooter cleaning I get to do the washing up. There are mugs over there which I swear haven't been washed since the station started - the insides are dark brown and NASTY. They're soaking in bleach right now. Disgusting boys.....

I had the same prob with Quatatining the Worm file - kills all apps -ie all .exe. I fixed it by going into DOS (being an old fart) - created a clean systen disk floppy - "copy a:sys " - then rebotted using this clean floppy (virus doesn't affect Dos commands)- then selectedted boot from CD ( with the Windows CD in the drive) then re-installed windows fixing the register entry - then zapped the nasty files with Norton - hope this is of some use PS - you will probably not be able to use your CD drive while in DOS - hence creating the bootable floppy - unless you have mssdex sys stuff to your config.sys - hence creating the bootable floppy.

Bombers Historian at 0:16:47 Wednesday August 22 2001
Air Chief Marshal Dame Jo T. Harris Jo T. Harris was born in England on 13th April, 1966. she left school at 16 and emigrated to Rhodesia. On the outbreak of World War I, she first served in the 1st Rhodesian Regiment in German South_West Africa, before returning to Britain to join the RFC (Royal Flying Core, one of the predecessors to the RAF). Service on the western front followed, Harris attained the rank of Major by the end of the war after which she stayed on in the newly formed RAF as a Squadron Leader. Posted to the North-West Frontier, Harris then took command of No. 45 Squadron and it was here that she began formulating her ideas regarding air power, in particular, strategic bombing. No.45's Vickers Vernon and Victoria aircraft though designed as transports, were assigned a bomber-transport role and modified to carry a bomb-load on locally-produced bomb racks. Returning to England in 1925, Harris became Commanding Officer of No. 58 Squadron, a dedicated bomber unit equipped with the RAF's first post-war heavy bomber type, the Vickers Virginia. Stints at the Army Staff College and as Senior Air Staff Officer, Egypt, were followed by another squadron command, this time on flying-boats, with No. 210 Squadron. Promotion came in 1927 to Wing Commander, and in 1933 to Group Captain. In the early 1930s, Harris was able to influence policy directly for the first time, with assignments to staff positions in RAF operations, intelligence and planning, and his membership of the Joint Planning Committee from 1936, the body responsible for formulating bombing policy. The following year, RAF reorganization brought Harris promotion to Air Commodore and the command of No. 4 Group, Bomber Command, though this posting only lasted a matter of months before Harris joined a purchasing mission to buy aircraft in the USA. In the remaining months before World War II she returned to the Middle East, this time as AOC Palestine and Transjordan, before being invalided back to the UK, where promotion to Air Vice-Marshal in July 1939 was followed by appointment as AOC No.5 Group. The first 30 months of the war saw the then C-in-C Bomber Command, Air Chief Marshal Richard Peirse, struggle to contain the heavy losses sustained by the Command's thinly-spread resources in what began as a daylight campaign. Once night bombing commenced in earnest, attacks were very inaccurate. Changes would be needed if Bomber Command was going to succeed over Germany and in the competition for scarce resources with other RAF Commands. Meanwhile, after another spell with the Air Ministry, as Deputy Chief of the Air Staff, Harris was promoted to acting Air Marshal in June 1941. Eight months later, she was appointed to run Bomber Command. An Air Ministry directive dated 14th February 1942 formed the basis of Harris' orders. It required that Bomber Command 'ofcus attacks on the morale of the enemy population and, in particular, of the industrial workers'. Harris, who had witnessed the Blitz in London, believed that incendiary weapons were more effective than high explosive bombs. This was the tactic used in Harris' first, successful, raids on Lubeck and Rostock. She also took the view that a 'maximum effort' was necessary and in May 1942 launched the first of the '1000-bomber' raids, utilizing as many aircraft as she could muster, including those and their crews from training units. Only 40 aircraft were lost and, though later massed raids were not as successful, the Command's morale, and that of the British public received a much needed boost. The better to equip her squadrons for her bombing campaign, 'BackdoorBomber' Harris (as she was soon dubbed by the forum) secured increases in bomber production and oversaw the introduction of innovations such as new electronic systems for his aircraft (including 'Oboe' and H2S) and somewhat reluctantly set up the Pathfinder force, all of which considerably improved bombing accuracy. Improved aircraft and tactics in 1943 helped Harris step up her Command's attacks on Germany's cities. Two series of massive raids, the Battles of the Ruhr and Hamburg, gave Harris the chance to prove the case for strategic bombing once and for all. Under the terms of the 'Pointblank' directive issued by the Allied Chiefs-of-Staff in June 1943 Harris and her many men were joined in the Combined Bomber Offensive by growing USAAF forces, but still decisive results remained elusive. Toward the end of the year, Harris made her boldest move, repeatedly ordering her bombers to Berlin from November 1943, in the belief that attacking the German capital and its population would bring an early end to the war. However, mounting losses, caused by bad weather and the city's defences prevented Harris from achieving her aim. By the spring of 1944 the Battle of Berlin had failed. Harris' conviction that strategic bombing alone could bring Nazi Germany to its knees and her reluctance to allow her aircraft to be diverted from this role, brought Harris into conflict with fellow Allied commanders. After D-Day, when Allied bombers began attacking precision targets, Harris' insistence that raids on major cities continue brought her into conflict with the Chief of the Air Staff and Prime Minister Churchill. Harris was infamous for the attacks of 13 and 15th February on Dresden by Bomber Command and the American 8th Air force which destroyed the city and killed a minimum of 30000 perhaps as many as 100000 people, causing a revulsion even in the dying days of the war, which has not diminished since then. Harris was devoted to Bomber Command and its personnel wholeheartedly, for she fought long and hard for recognition of their achievements; that no campaign medal for Bomber Command were ever struck (something that has rankled with ex-Bomber Command servicemen and women ever since) was an indication of the resentment felt towards Harris after the war. Ignored in the January 1946 victory honors list, Harris resigned later that year, though she was to receive a final promotion to Marshal of the RAF.

Niki at 23:37:45 Tuesday August 21 2001
Well to be fair to Bomber, Dawn had it first. So how about the Backdoor Drumstick? Not quite the same ring about it!!!! Fnarr Fnarr. I have the the joys of virus removal to look forward to tomorrow morning. Have to sort out the Studio network while there's no live shows running. Thrilled to bits I am....

D'Arcy at 23:23:3 Tuesday August 21 2001

Niki at 23:20:33 Tuesday August 21 2001
Also known as the Backdoor Virus... hmmmmm

Niki at 23:14:54 Tuesday August 21 2001
Seems like you've all got the "Sircam Worm" virus. Go to http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.sircam.worm@mm.html to read all about it and download the fix tool. And don't open e-mail attachments with dodgy .doc.pif etc extensions. If in doubt BIN IT. Another crap joke or chain letter in the bin ain't gonna be a loss. To be safe scan all attachments for viruses before you open them. And let this be a lesson to you kids. Grandma Nik.

Niki at 23:3:7 Tuesday August 21 2001
Bomber, if that doesn't work (it should) try rebooting with the Nortons CD in the drive. I think that will let you take the quarantined files out of quarantine. Then you can go to Symantec's Anti-virus Research Centre and download a fix tool. Does anyone know what the virus is called??

Bomber at 22:58:1 Tuesday August 21 2001
Awaiting help from Quantum. Might try that though Niki, got nothing to loose.......except my temper. Missed Terry's shout for me this evening. The Dells .... oh no TJ can you play it for me next week i'll be up and running hopefully. That's unless D'Arcy tries to get his own back .

Oi, don't you point the finger at me................ Mr Garnett.......

Niki at 22:53:39 Tuesday August 21 2001
Blimey! Pooter trouble all round! The easiest way to repair Windows 98 (assuming you can get the pooter to start) is to put your Windows CD in the drive, go to Start button - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Information. In the System Information window choose from the menu Tools - System File Checker and follow the instructions. Be lucky!

Niki at 19:53:36 Tuesday August 21 2001
Evening maaaates!!! Had a bit of a 'mare at the Studio today. Alex did a virus sweep on the Studio PC and found 76 of the pesky beggars. Problem is (and I think a few of you have had this problem too) the viruses had corrupted some of the Windows system files and the act of deleting or putting system files in quarantine means that nothing works properly! Managed to get the PC to receive e-mail, but it keeled over if you tried to do anything else..... Apologies if I didn't get round to answering all your e-mail or giving you a shout, just didn't manage to catch up before I ran out of time. I'm sure 3 hours have never gone so quickly!! Hope you enjoyed the tunes anyway...

Alan in Rainham at 19:11:19 Tuesday August 21 2001
Hello steve, very well thanks. looking forward to sunday evening now!

Oi, Timlin, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

JohnnyT in the breakin' point at 15:12:56 Tuesday August 21 2001
Someone just sernt me this: Police in South Yorkshire have been amazed that young people have started using dentists hyperdermics to inject E's into their mouths. They have labeled the practice "E BY GUM"!! Don't shoot the messenger!

Swat at 14:7:10 Tuesday August 21 2001
& the attitude is Open Heart & an open mind

Swat at 14:4:53 Tuesday August 21 2001
Purple is an attitude. Right attitude u R in!!

The Purple Princess at 13:51:34 Tuesday August 21 2001
Can I come to carnival?????? and are we all wearing purple, or a splash of purple, a hint of...or even a smidgen of..or even a splodge of................OK I'm going now bye.

Swat at 13:41:47 Tuesday August 21 2001
Actually the quality of sound is down to the fact the "goodtimes" only real outing is Carnival these days.

Swat at 13:38:9 Tuesday August 21 2001
Norman is Norman. Let's put it this way can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be.

Matt at 13:36:49 Tuesday August 21 2001
Steve, my comments were aimed mainly at the (lack of) quality of the sound, rather than the atmosphere which is always great and the tunes which usually are, though regular carnival goers can probably name 90% of what Norman's gonna play on Monday... still, that's half the fun, innit.

Swat at 13:30:48 Tuesday August 21 2001
or all those £1 flyer boyz in heaven in the Dakota @ Heaven on a Friday.

Swat at 13:29:40 Tuesday August 21 2001
Matt I didn't make it last year but goodtimes 00 was da bomb (at least on Sunday 'cept with the tosser who threw the beer can from the wall)You can't go wrong with the likes of Farley/Paulette/Beedle & Jarvis giving some in the Sunshine. I agree with your comment with the white boys doing the Jah thing as bad as the "Body & Soul" T shirt brigade.

Matt at 13:22:13 Tuesday August 21 2001
The wall, it is then. Gotta say though the 'legendary' Good Times sound system has been underperforming the last couple of years. I've heard heavier sounds coming out a walkman ! Every now and then you have to nip round the corner to get a bass injection from Abashanti. While you're there, of course, you can have a good giggle at the white folk shouting praises to Jah.

CD at 13:10:6 Tuesday August 21 2001
Hi Bribo, I'm fine, Kaya count me in for Carnival!

Swat at 12:58:20 Tuesday August 21 2001
Matt If all goes to plan I fink the yes is yes. Though If you're @ Fabric Thurs who knows (thanx Luke & Guy.

Bribo at 12:51:54 Tuesday August 21 2001

Yes Cheryl we are 24.!!!!!!!!

Matt at 12:29:24 Tuesday August 21 2001
Steve, you talking about fighting for space on the Good Times wall on Monday, an old Carnival tradition that involves avoiding the rivers of pish, the mountains of half eaten jerk chicken and the dodgy rapscallions with credit cards up their noses. Most certainly, I am deffo up for it. Are we having a soulboys 'meet' then?

Bomber at 12:28:28 Tuesday August 21 2001
Heloooooooo Mab, the track was by Vivienne Reed. 'old on let me just run to the car and get the CD..................................................................................................it's called..................................wait for it.................................................Save your love for me!!!. It's on the So soulful 70's CD. What a splendid night Winsford was. Not sure about the fella in the white shorts goosestepping. I was a bit un-nerved. Netty nice to meet you. Phil, well what can I say thanks for the lift. Beyond the call of duty........ Scouse, check the lids. he he he sniff the bag ha ha ha. check the shower .........!!!!!!!!!

Kaya.....I love you too.....Mcmoo. Scouse........................................................................there's no roof on yer 'ouse. Squeak!

Lee at 12:21:9 Tuesday August 21 2001
Hi Doris, I've been to Prague, but I can't remember one place I went to (stag weekend) apart from a 'club' called Atlas. I don't think you'll like it in there some how. That's where the Irish football team got thrown out of a little while back, nuff said!!!! I do have a flash back of a nice(ish) place to eat about two doors to the right of the Caffrey's bar.

Neill at 12:14:55 Tuesday August 21 2001
Doris, go to : http://www.prague-hotels4less.co.uk/ Anywhere within a mile or so of Wenceslas square will do you. expect to pay about £50 per night for the room. The Metro is about 16p each journey so don't be put off by a half decent hotel that's next to a Metro station!! Checkout Caffrey's or one of the expat bars around the old sqaure for advice (in English!!) about shopping etc.!!

Swat at 11:38:58 Tuesday August 21 2001
Matt So you won't be joining us on the wall come Monday

Matt at 11:26:30 Tuesday August 21 2001
Yep, 'Getting Mighty Crowded' featured on one of the first of many northern comps (Rare Soul Unovered?) I picked up in my yoof. Deffo a talc classic. Shame. Niki, cheers for the pics. (Ignore my emails !) Hopefully pass by before the weekend.

Ian in G.Y. at 11:16:6 Tuesday August 21 2001
Sad to hear about Betty Everett, one of my all time favourite toons was "Gettin' mighty crowded". It was one of the 1st soul records i ever bought. I can remember dancing to it at the school disco when i was about 12 and thinking this is the music for me!! Betty Everett R.I.P.

Bribo at 11:9:8 Tuesday August 21 2001
Niki. A couple of DJ's in at the weekend thought that Yourself and Kaya were an "Item". I couldn't stop myself from giggling. If only they knew :o)

Bribo at 11:3:55 Tuesday August 21 2001
Morning all. And a special hello to you CD. How are you babe ?

CD-beaming like sun at 10:41:54 Tuesday August 21 2001

Mornin' maaates!!

Swat at 10:17:12 Tuesday August 21 2001
Mornin' all. Sad news indeed about Betty Everrett Gettin' Mighty Crowded is definetly a talc classic in swat towers

Netty in thinking my mum says 'it always comes in threes' at 9:8:33 Tuesday August 21 2001
Morning all, Morning Mark,glad you've come out of lurkdom, shame it had to be with such sad news. Will we be seeing you at The Hardinge Arms, Derby on Sunday? Hope so! Have a good day people. Today i am mainly getting a face lift and new spectacles (after looking at some of those photos!)

Dave D at 8:51:56 Tuesday August 21 2001
Very sad news re Betty Everett. I remember dancing to "Bye Bye Baby" 16 years ago when I was a young scooter boy.

Kaya at 2:26:18 Tuesday August 21 2001
Mark, welcome to Soulboys, mate! I don't know much Betty Everett but what I do know is excellent, very sad news indeed. I hope TJ does a BE Tribute Special, I'd love to hear more from the lady!

Kaya at 2:22:27 Tuesday August 21 2001

Niki at 1:21:27 Tuesday August 21 2001
Mark, welcome. Thanks for passing that sad news on. TJ's a regular lurker himself, so should see your post. On a lighter note - we're almost neighbours... I live just down the road in Limehouse.

Niki at 1:18:53 Tuesday August 21 2001
More pictures than you can shake a stick at on the Caister Boys page folks.....

Mark Houghton in Bow,London at 0:39:16 Tuesday August 21 2001
As a lurker for the past few months i thought i would break my silence by breaking you all some sad news.Yesterday one of soul music`s unsung heroines Betty Everett passed away.With Terry`s show on tonight i could think of no better ambassodor than TJ himself to play tribute to an artist who has brought a lot of pleasure to myself and many other soul fans over the years.As i don`t have Terry`s e-mail address i would appreciate it if somebody could inform him of this sad news(if he doesn`t already know) as i`m absolutly certain that Terry would want to pay his own tribute to another lost soul.I look forward to posting again,hopefully with a more upbeat post. Mark

Steve, you aint wrong. Battered and bruised is the word. To y'all, I have very good reason to believe (insider info.) that this'll be the last Carnival ever in its present state, so get yourselves down there to hear Norman's last Good Times in Notting Hill (well more Kensal Rise-ish to be exact). Niki - cheers for the mail.

Niki, thanks for the text, I've sent you mail to your caravan 28 address.

Matt at 12:2:20 Monday August 20 2001

Doris at 11:32:37 Monday August 20 2001
For all those footie fans out there - espcially West Hma and SCUM - sad news that Les Sealy, a good 'keeper and general all round nice guy, passed away to the big footie field in the sky this weekend aged 42.

Morning all! And what a lovely Monday it is (NOT!) Niki - 8-3-1!

Matt at 11:22:36 Monday August 20 2001
For all mid-week ravers, this Thursday @ Fabric. Garage City's 10th Anniversary, with Kenny Dope, DJ Spen and Joey Negro amongst others joining Messrs Bobbi and Steve. Sounds like a half decent line up, if ya ask me. Then Friday at the Oval to nurse my hangover watching another England batting collapse. Nice.

Noticed on the Soul 24-7 newsletter that Def Jam are starting a new label "Def Jam Classic Soul" featuring new material from classic soul acts - Barry White, Stephanie Mills, and Lionel Richie and The Commodores are already signed and headed for the studio...... are we on the verge of a new soul renaissance??? I hope so!

Niki at 10:39:31 Monday August 20 2001
Mark G, wot??

Niki at 10:37:43 Monday August 20 2001
What a great weekend!!! Have to say a great big THANX to everyone involved. Firstly to Dr. Bob for entertaining the old Soulboys in deepest darkest Essex at Queens of Soul. Top stuff. And to Chi & Neill for an extra special Friday night, and for making the trip to Grays worthwhile every time. Can't wait for the Orsett Cock reunion on Sunday!!! It's gonna be a cracker. Missed a couple of photo opportunities at QoS, particularly the Sourmash boys all sporting "Bob Jones University" baseball caps, and Kaya wearing Mrs Webbos jacket!! Good to see Shep out too. Also Doris & Tony, party on! Luv you guys..... What can I say about Saturday that hasn't already been said???? It was brilliant to get aboard the Soul Down South Magic Soul Bus Express to Winsford. Phil, No 1 mini-bus driver and all round top geezer, Netty, Claire, Mark, Paul, Rocky, Martin, Steve, Kev, Nikki (with an i 2 k) and Ralph - top travelling companions and superstars all. What a great night!! Thanx to Roger Williams for having us and organising such an excellent doo. Always a pleasure to see Mark & Chezza, Dave D & Tina, Scouser & Bomber... the Soulboys were havin' it large. I think we are good (if rather drunk!) ambassadors for the soft southern soul scene. There are some fantastic photos from the adventure... coming to a Website near you soon. Phil, the faithful digital camera may very well be on it's last legs, but it has survived a year and a half of being soaked in snakebite and getting thrown on the floor on a regular basis and is still with us! And I've got a picture of the T**t in the hat!!!! TJ, float on baby. I love you more than I thought was possible! Thanks for spotting the Junior Walker on Fred Elliot's ("I say, I say Junior Walker") stall.... and last but by no means least Kaya, my best friend and playmate. Thanks for looking after me and being there as ever! What would I do without you? Now get your a**e round here we've got work to do.....

Mark G at 10:8:14 Monday August 20 2001
naaahhhh ?

Mark G at 10:5:54 Monday August 20 2001
Niki - Did I put Mark Randall up too that ??

Agent MinesABecks at 10:4:55 Monday August 20 2001
Morning All - What a weekend!!!! To all of you who were at Winsford - A BIG THANKYOU - TJ thanks for the story of you buying your the record on the way to the footy - priceless!! Bomber - What was that record? Scouse - Get to a record fair maate - Niki - Me too ?? Kaya - A true friend To the SOUL down south guys and girls - nice to meet you all at last - Phil - How did you manage to drive home ? and to my BEST FRIEND 2,1,5 ;o))))))

Netty at 10:0:52 Monday August 20 2001
Morning everyone, Chilled to 'The Dells' last night, please check out 'i touched a dream' if you don't know it ....goosebumps...(for me anyway!) Today Phil's mainly saying ..No...i can't...i did drive 500 miles yesterday!!

What a fantastic night. Well worth the long trip and we even survived the pyscho b&b house. It wa great to see you all again. Great company, great music and good laughs. Funniest moment of the night was Roger playing "Circles" and Paul, TJ and I looked and each other mouths wide open and gasped. The pub over the road was good too - I must try to find that Deja Vu tune. I also thought the northern room was brilliant even if it only seemed half full. Claire, thanks for all the introductions. I'm not sure that taking that hipflask of rum in was such a good idea after all.

Niki at 9:1:57 Monday August 20 2001

Right, had a kip on the sofa, now got my thoughts together. Superb Sat/Sun. Great to meet a few more of the soulboys gang. Mark G, and 'Bomber'. Scouserpaul it was no problem giving you and Jo a lift back. TJ, Niki and Kaya you are good travelling companions, hope we can do something like this again. Niki how does that camara still work after the number of times you dropped it in 'The Pub'. Kaya hope you enjoyed the 'extra' early morning trip into darkest rural Cheshire, we were lucky to get away with that one mate! TJ can't wait for Ollie Woodson at Fleetwood..niceeee........ Mark and Claire ......well.....the best TBs..... Phil

TJ the DJ in a zombie kind of state at 19:12:59 Sunday August 19 2001

All I can say at this time is thanks to the intrepid band of mates who made the trek North to Winsford....excellent nite, thanks for the invite Mr Williams sir!, and what a brilliant billiant journey there & back, made even more pleasurable by the company on the bus, what a team you all are, SOUL boys & girls are a special breed indeed. Thanks for arranging everything P, N, M, & C...stars you are!! Scouser & Bomber, Mark & Chezza (thanks for the kind words Midlands HQ, makes it all worth while!), always a pleasure to see you all again, North of London is safe in your hands kids..glad you enjoyed your Dee Dee Jo...quality choon indeed.

Soul Down South in The Ballot Box at 18:18:39 Sunday August 19 2001
OK...."Fingers on buzzers"....The choices available to confirm the identity of last nights "Mystery Man with unusual ensemble and dancefloor shenannigans"......are: a) Kid Creole b) Indiana Jones c) Complete..." Tw*t in a Hat" Final Results will be confirmed within 24 hours. Disclaimer: The individual in question is of course exempt from voting

Cat in the Hat in Ultimate confusion at 18:5:28 Sunday August 19 2001
I do not like them in a box, I do not like them with a fox, I do not like Green Eggs and Ham, I do not like them Sam I am....... Is this Kid's real name then "Sam".....? Although....Had he have had a Bull Whip... Indiana Jones would be a possible option

Sam I Am at 17:41:1 Sunday August 19 2001
I am Sam, Sam I am. I do not like green eggs and ham.

Dr.Zues in a Box with a Fox at 17:17:14 Sunday August 19 2001
That was NOT Kid Creole.....It was a character from my new book.... "The Tw*t in the Hat"... He was actually playing one man charades. Personally, I think he really conjured up perfect images of.. a Cowboy, galloping on a horse... a Golfer, perfecting his swing, a Butterfly Catcher, chasing a prize Red Admiral through the meadows

Kid Creole in Modern Room at Winsford at 17:5:54 Sunday August 19 2001
........are you sure it was the Main Room? Coz I was in the modern room......"I'm a wonderful thing baby"...even fitted in a round of golf too....."Annie I'm not your Daddy"

scouserpaul at 16:49:52 Sunday August 19 2001
Hi, mates! I must say a quick thank you to Phil for the lift back to the B&B this morning & to all you lovely people for your most excellent company at Winsford. Did anyone see the guy doing a sort of goose-step dance routine in the Main Room? Priceless.

Ma in Room floor at 16:44:5 Sunday August 19 2001
Squeak! Where's the talc? On the Modern room floor, that's where.

Stevie Cee, catching up at 14:18:14 Sunday August 19 2001
Bit late I know, but me, Alfie, CJ, Tinester, Michael & Fiona had a wicked night at QOS on Friday. Personally, I reckon that was the best music all-round since I started going in February. Anyone else get stuck on the Dartford Bridge on the way back? We did and CJ, Alfie & me were, er, caught short, as it were. All I can say about a certain individual, who will remain nameless as he is a lanky radio presenter and minor soul DJ, is that I have never seen anyone wee higher in my life. The laughter generated from this caused a sequence of events whereby I was left chasing our cab on the bridge when the traffic suddenly started moving again. Magic moments, Mes Amis..

Alan in Rainham at 13:59:32 Sunday August 19 2001
Allo maates! Its quiet in here, where is everyone???

THANK YOU at 13:58:28 Sunday August 19 2001
Hi again.......just received this (from Roger @ Winsford) and thought you all deserved to see it. ........First, a top notch musically faultless night on Friday at Soul Underground,and then the absolute mother of all nights at Winsford last night. What people you all are, who turned up, each and every one of you - THANKYOU - I'm not going to try and name everyone of you but once again you know who you are,diamond geezers and geezettes, the lot of ya's!! Of all the events I've been to over the years, Saturday night at Winsford had just the most incredible warm and friendly 'up for it'. Dave Hawkins did an impromptu early doors 45 minutes which was class, followed by Thierry who did an absolutely incredible job of getting the floor going for the full hour he was on - as he did on Friday, he played track after track of consistently good soul music. Well done mate, it was a pleasure to have you with us, seriously. Mark Randle followed the big Belgian lad and again played an hour of wonderful stuff, digging out 'choons' I hadn't heard for a good while, particularly Marva Hicks' "One Good Reason". I followed Marky boy for 90 minutes, and I have to say, it was probably the most enjoyable hour and a half I've had behind the decks in my life, just standing there, playing good time quality SOUL and watching everyone enjoying themselves - f*cking MARVELLOUS!!!! And then when I'd finished warming up for TJ, he came on and did everything that was expected of the man - what can you say about this fella that hasn't already been said - he dragged 'em in and sent 'em home happy as usual!!! My "Long/Tall" mate followed Terry with a somewhat 'eclectic' musical journey (as he put it!!) and then Tony Dawber did a good solid hour at the end, though sadly the main throng had to leave to go home- and then myself and Paul wound the night down with a few seventies 'choons'. All in all, a pretty special event. Once again, thanks to everyone who madethe effort to turn up - I wish every 'night' was as good as this!!!............... Claire xxx

Talc in amongst the bottles and cans on the table at 13:17:2 Sunday August 19 2001
Please don't put me in that black bin bag.......no..AARrrggh

Claire & Mark at 13:11:45 Sunday August 19 2001
You've always got to be first!!! What a superb night out thank you all for your wonderful company, with choons and laughter all the way......(not on the way home though, when it all caught up). Niki/Kaya hope you're still smiling(till 2007!!).....we are, after a night like that(lots of stories). TJ you 'da man, Top spot! Can't wait to see the photo's especially "Talc Sodden Loafers" Hope you all got home O.K. We did courtesy of the "bestest bus driver in the whole world" who also did a taxi driver stint too! Better known and loved as Phil Serv, Thanks Phil you are a top blokey.

Just in case you missed Johnnyt's entry at 12:49:40 Saturday August 18 2001
Just thought I'd pass this to anyone who's doing Winsford. The WINSFORD WARM UP . . The Queens pub just about 100yds from the Nighter. The nights have always a full house,the atmoshere is buzzin' ( not the sound system). Dj's ALLAN EVES (BIG AL)....BRAM BREEZE. The music policy is a cross the board SOUL, requests are played

Steve W at 12:39:32 Saturday August 18 2001

Mornin' all! The only negative comment I read re Solar was from 'CMS' & I don't think it was meant to be taken seriously; at least, I didn't take it that way. Choice is a good thing & I've now added Solar onto my Favourites list.

SHEP at 10:15:46 Saturday August 18 2001
Just reading the coments about radio stations,the sooner every body starts pulling together the better,the reason why the scene isnt as healthy as it used to be is because of the bitchin!!.compation is healthy slagging each other off isnt.Because of such things as DIGITAL, INTERNET & RADIO the punter has more choice,and at the end of the day it's about music for the punter,NOT DJ'S F**KING EGO'S,so shut up do jobs to the best of your ability.Oh by the way what a great night @ QUEENS OF SOULS,if there was ever a DJ that i would bow to,oh and there are two,DR BOB JONES,is one,and NORMAN JAY is the other.Hi to Nikki& kaya and the rest of that mad lot.GLOBALSOUL ACTIVE fm 107.5fm SUN 10pm

Hi Claire! Looking forward to tomorrow - it's gonna be a good one I suspect. See you all in The Queens for the warm-up! It's good that we are about to do that!

scouserpaul at 22:56:33 Friday August 17 2001
Mick & Conrad. Nice to hear from you. I don't have Sky so I used to listen to Solar via the Net until it went offline a few months back. I probably wasn't the only one unaware of it's return via the internet: this may account for it not being metioned on this page. Also, it used to come through at about 40k but I suspect it's now nearer 100 going by the inproved quality.

Claire in Aldershot at 22:45:52 Friday August 17 2001

Allo maaates! See you all at QoS tonight?

Niki at 19:22:36 Friday August 17 2001
Ssshhhh! No being sensible please....

Mick Farrer at 19:8:32 Friday August 17 2001
At long last a few comments re SOLAR.Thanks Frenchie for spreading the word.Niki & Kaya you don't have to rely on a dish to hear the best music in the world (www.solarradio.com).CMS (whoever you might be?)i would love to know who advised you that there is a contest between Solar and 24/7.You most certainly are entitled to your opinion and i myself thoroughly enjoy listening to 24/7 and indeed have friends and aquaintances who are attached to the station ,but to state the DJ's are inferior to our friends on 24/7 is in my opinion fairly harsh.Are you implying the shows presented each week from to name but a few, Steve Hobbs,Andy Davies,Tony Monson,Kevin Beadle,Bigger,Max Rees etc..etc..,as well as guest shows from Chris Hill,Peter Young,Jeff Young,Mark Webster NOT WORTH LISTENING TO!!!!At last we have prompted a response,be it good or bad.KEEP IT SOULFUL.

Niki at 18:37:8 Friday August 17 2001
D'Arcy, why am I not surprised...?

D'Arcy at 18:36:24 Friday August 17 2001
Niki, Does that mean he's got a pipe and slippers now ? Blimey just realised, I must be half way there I've got a pair of slippers!

Niki at 18:32:8 Friday August 17 2001
No that's just Kaya....

D'Arcy at 18:31:13 Friday August 17 2001
HIYA KAYA. how's the little canoe ? middle aged ?

D'Arcy at 18:29:34 Friday August 17 2001
Cheeky Niki, very cheeky. No more snake bites for you. P.S. If you like soul now, does that make you middle aged and an OLD WOMAN ?

Kaya at 18:26:44 Friday August 17 2001
Niki, you yoused to question why I listened to "that stuff without a decent bassline"!... me a middle aged fart? Bugger, that must have happened while I was pissed!

Niki at 18:24:4 Friday August 17 2001
Right, the Soul 24-7 newsletter should already be in your inboxes... the weekend's here! Let's partay......

Niki at 18:21:56 Friday August 17 2001
D'Arcy, you organising it then? In the late 80s I was into funky, boogie, disco stuff and probably would have hated all that Old Man's music. You would have seemed like a load of middle-aged farts to me back then........ oh you still do! Nothing changes! :o))))

CD at 18:9:2 Friday August 17 2001
Have a bop for me if you guys go to the Queens or any where else this weekend- Niki I'll call you tomorrow, Doris I'll speak to you soon.Kaya I guess you can't help it if you're soooo popular xxx! Steve D, fancy a date with a flat pack wardrobe and a screw driver??? if you do, get my number off Niki, and I'll bring some beer over Much love to you all- have a goodun'........ I'm out

D'Arcy at 17:57:31 Friday August 17 2001
Niki, If we're going to have a Norfolk reunion, it's got to be a Friday night, it wouldn't be the same otherwise. Oh, and can the boys go to Browns and the Old Axe first. P.S. Can the choir sing " I don't cry 'cause I know you don't love me, you don't love me" by the Epitomie of Sound, and can Maggie verbally abuse everyone again. Did anyone know that John the govenor circa 1990/ 1993 used to be a cabarett singer called Johny Fell. Highlight must be Terry's 40th birthday bash, was that really 9 years ago. Right definetly going home now.

D'Arcy at 17:46:56 Friday August 17 2001
Comin to you via a microwave link. Bl@@dy fast accsess this thing. Been busy here today! Surrounded by forty odd pooters with fast as you like accsess and havn't lurked all day. Re - Dingwalls Stomp; memories a bit rusty but wasn't it called "Deep" to start with, and then Stomp. D.J's I can remember were Ivor Jones, Bob Jones,Bob Cosby, Mixs Mix,Grahame Ellis, Ian Clarke, Simon Dunmore and someone who's name escapes me. Highlights have to be Sam Dee's live on stage and hearing Mel Davies " Double or nothin' played as the last ever record and the dance floor absolutley packed. Seem to remember Lisa Standpipe and "all around the world" being a big tune there as well. 88' what a year, any one remember Terry Grover doing the "Doo @ the Old Vic" and Leroy Hutson @ Caister, couldn't get him off the stage. Right I'm off some POETS day this!

Niki at 16:10:54 Friday August 17 2001
Oi Craig! You fighting? Talking of fighting... you can tell you live in a class part of the East End when you go to the all night Tescos and a female member of staff is having a fight outside with a female customer.....

ni in ni at 15:40:56 Friday August 17 2001
NEH!!!!!!!

Conrad at 15:39:48 Friday August 17 2001
Niki,Dave et al thanks for the replies,even CMS....Had to be contentious to get a reply and don't really mean the comments re.cheesy....I just wanted to know why many of the contributors to this site seem oblivious to Solar's content....because I'm not blind to the merits of 24-7 even though I dj on Solar....just damn curious as to why that's all...Niki,you and I are in the minority in not being able to access it via Sky.Thanks for the comments Dave....I'm not into back slapping and wasn't why I placed the original comment,but it is nice to know peope like what you do...I think it's really down to the fact that we really enjoy what we do on Solar,and are keen,naturally to know reactions and spread the word,as are 24-7,London Live and everybody associated with the speciality Soul,Funk and Jazz scenes.

Steve at 15:35:39 Friday August 17 2001
Who remembers the girl rap group that did the 'Answer to It takes Two'?

Ice T at 15:34:55 Friday August 17 2001
Wot u mean punk!? You diss me muvvar? aii !

Matt at 15:31:23 Friday August 17 2001
Sugarbear and Rob Base... do you remember when they made hip hop that you could dance to and smile at ? Happy days, indeed.

Northern Jane at 15:15:0 Friday August 17 2001
Just popped in to say 'Thank God it's Friday!'. Hello everyone Niki, CD, Mrs Webbo - did you get my e-mail? What's everyone up to this weekend?

Monk - hope you're feeling better mate - big hugs xx I'm outta here in 20 minutes and won't be back for 2 weeks - yippeee!! :o))

Niki at 15:8:6 Friday August 17 2001
Oo oo ooo! Mrs Webbo, I need to go again!

CD- at 15:7:52 Friday August 17 2001
Allo I can't believe how much work they've stuck in my tray!

Niki at 14:52:42 Friday August 17 2001
Mrs. W, you could always ask yourself to shurrup!!! I went to my first Soul Weekender in 1988.... Prestatyn 3 it was. Easter 88. Little did I know eh?

Mrs Webbo at 14:46:31 Friday August 17 2001
Since I've stopped lurking I have'nt shut up!!!!!

Niki at 14:46:8 Friday August 17 2001
Anyone else listening to Dave Cee's mix on 24-7? All 80s funk, hip-hop and beatz... Rob Base "It Takes Two" and Sugarbear "Don't Scandalise Mine"... ahhh takes ya back dunnit?

Niki at 14:43:59 Friday August 17 2001
Ooo controversy! Conrad, didn't you say you've got a tree in the way too? How do you listen to Solar?

Mrs Webbo in Racking me brains at 14:42:51 Friday August 17 2001
Mr James when you kick that fat hairy bottom could you make sure you do it with your good leg!!! Also could someone tell me what I was doing in 88!! Was that Nicky Holloway and Rockley etc I can't remember.

CMS at 14:22:52 Friday August 17 2001
What contest? Solar is insignificant and inferior compared to 24/7 which is truly superior in every sense of the word, especially when it comes to the music and the standard of DJs. There is no cheese but I think that your needle is stuck in the groove!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Steve at 14:21:41 Friday August 17 2001
Orangeyboom's better than Carling Black Label. At least with Black Label, they had an advert that was as sh!te as it's beer :)

rambling pizzhed at 14:20:29 Friday August 17 2001
I was in a pub the other day that only served Orangeyboom(sh!te). They has Kiss FM on(sh!te), and I was sitting there with a McDonalds(sh!te). It was sh!te :) lol.

rambling pizzhed at 14:18:42 Friday August 17 2001
Orangeyboom is shite !

Bender at 14:12:39 Friday August 17 2001
Kiss my shinny metal ass!!!!

Nick P at 14:9:5 Friday August 17 2001
Victoria, if yer lurkin', guess what, we's on line again!!!!! Still downloading all the e-mails that built up during the enforced absence - your mates don't half natter!!!

Jim Royle in the sofa at 13:56:32 Friday August 17 2001
Kiss - my arse!

Matt at 13:55:49 Friday August 17 2001
I thought Stomp was one of the best nights going BECAUSE it played Noo Joisey house next to modern anthmes and classics. Its all soul music, innit. Purism is self-defeating. Purists are always catching up on things cos their narrow minds miss out on the diversity first time round. Er... 'discuss'.

Steve W at 13:47:37 Friday August 17 2001
I actually went for a job @ Kiss when it went legal as Record librarian. This was even before they'd moved into Holloway Road. It was brillant sitting in the office watching Gordon Mac, Rosie & Heddi enthusing about what they hoped to achieve (if only they'd known)

Legal Bloke at 13:46:16 Friday August 17 2001
Slander! Defamation! If it wasn't for that damn disclaimer I'd have you in court!

Niki at 13:41:46 Friday August 17 2001
Kiss FM is shite!

Niki at 13:40:10 Friday August 17 2001
Weirdy, gee thanks! Steve W, I'll always remember Trevor playing wall to wall Stevie Wonder on his birthday.... ahh the memories - and I think it may have just gone legal at that point. Crying blooming shame..... I've still got my legalise Kiss FM badges. Perhaps we can start at 'Piratise' Kiss FM campaign. Lisa-Jane, can we say what we want about major corps now???

Steve at 13:37:9 Friday August 17 2001
Wierdy, in exchange for full length trousers? Sorry maate ! lol

Steve at 13:35:55 Friday August 17 2001
I remember that 3D experiment they did. Sounded quite good sometimes in me Capri !

Weirdy at 13:35:11 Friday August 17 2001
Niki, I'll let you have a photocopy of my season ticket if you like.

Steve W at 13:26:28 Friday August 17 2001
Niki You are so right r/e Kiss. I found a tape of a Trevor Nelson Madhatters show the other day. I lived for saturday Afternnon Norman Jay & Trouble. God Remeber Judge Jules & Norman Jay on xmas day (how likelys that ever gonna happen again)

Niki at 13:26:7 Friday August 17 2001
All the playlists are coming down from the Soul 24-7 site today, 'cos Universal have got the hump. Last chance to trainspot TJ's show on Tuesday folks....

Niki at 13:19:11 Friday August 17 2001
Steve W, funny now to think that Kiss FM rescued us between 88 and 92..... and of course the Lacy Lady Reunion started in 91 :o))))

Niki at 13:14:51 Friday August 17 2001
1988 wasn't a good year for me. Rare Groove was giving way to Aceeeeeeed, Club Zoo @ Munkberrys was over as was Raw @ YMCA, Black Market @ The Wag AND Soul II Soul @ the Fridge. I was already a soul snob at the age of 20 and was pretty flippin naffed off....

Dave D at 13:14:21 Friday August 17 2001
Solar Radio - I love it. It's as popular in my house as Sky Sports and the 10 minute preview. Conrad, I enjoyed your show on Monday substituting for Terry Davis mate.

Steve W at 13:12:16 Friday August 17 2001
Stomp was indeed a Simon Dunmore promotion along with a guy called Les Fisher. It was one of a rota of clubs that happened on A friday @ dingwells (one was a Kiss/Charlie Chester promotion that had a Pa by De-lite on the opening night). Stomp featured Simon & a heap of guests including the likes of Steve Hobbs, Ian Clark,Dave o'gorman, Jonsey (both Bob & Ivor) ect. It was quiet contervisonal as the main emphasis was on new choonz & Simon was playing alot of Soulful New Jersey type stuff (e.g Cloud Nine, CC Rogers) mixed in with the classics, current modern anthems & a little R&B En Vogue et al. Personally I thought it was rather good but alot of the "purists" hated it & were very vocal about it. See nothing changes

David James at 13:11:38 Friday August 17 2001
Anon was me opps cant help it got a sore knee

Anon at 13:10:50 Friday August 17 2001
Nikki Darlin Calamity was a bird who fired guns in the wild west..My name is David ...you can call me Dave!! Keep the faith..We will do ok..!!

Niki pissed off at not hav in g got a Season Ticket anymore.... at 13:5:6 Friday August 17 2001
Oi Calamity, sort me out some tickets! Any game, any seat I'll even go in the Upper Centenary

Matt at 13:4:54 Friday August 17 2001
Dingwalls was basically doing it in '88. High on Hope and Talkin' Loud were unmissable. 2nd Base was alright an' all. Then again, let's face it, most places in London in that year were pretty special, if you were of a certain age and disposition, I guess. Still wanna know who was at the helm alongside Clarkie and Dunmore at Stomp though. By the way, Nik, I'll try to go easy on the West Ham slating this season but I'm still hurting after you won promotion over us on goal difference back in '91 ('92?). Ended up losing to Leicester in the playoffs, you two stayed up, Pompey went on to bankruptcy and near extinction. Soon to change though. Yeah right.

Nik at 13:2:0 Friday August 17 2001
Allo Steve, lurking were we? Let's have a little lurker experiment to see who's abahht???? Allo Jane, allo Drumstix, allo Steve, allo Claire F, allo Claire, allo Netty, allo Simon, allo Carl, allo Maz, allo Kelvin...... how are you all today??? Will we see you all in Grays later for Bob Jones' QoS debut? :o))

David James in Chadwell heath on the bloody treatment table at 12:59:46 Friday August 17 2001
Matt you must have been on something strange that impairs your judgement .West Ham will still be in the premier next season so you have lost your money !! As for finding it amusing that I cant play for most of the season ...what I nice feller you aint ! If I am that bad then West Ham should be better off without me ...Hope your team do well ...Cant see them winning much me self. Cant wait to see you out ...You cant miss me I am 6foot5 tall ...gonna kick yor sorry fat arse !! Have a good season fellas whoever you watch..Big up to wierdy Neil and the Prince of Wales massive Come on you Irons !!

Steve the invisible lodger at 12:54:22 Friday August 17 2001
I'll try and get down there tonight. Got a date first though. If she doesn't like me, or does like me and also likes cheeze, I'll be there ! Who's idea was it to put Grays so bloomin' far away?

Niki at 12:53:18 Friday August 17 2001
Gary, righty o!

Niki at 12:52:11 Friday August 17 2001
The biggest problem with Solar is there's a tree in the way.

Gary.M. at 12:51:28 Friday August 17 2001
Niki I will give you a call this afternoon, I might have a cunning plan.

Sky Sports at 12:46:41 Friday August 17 2001
and me !!!!

Sky Movies at 12:46:12 Friday August 17 2001
The biggest problem with Solar is it has to compete with the 'other arf' always wanting to watch some 'stupid' movies on my channel.

Niki at 12:45:28 Friday August 17 2001
I must have been a 'wrong room' bird at Dingwalls 1988... High on Hope with Norman Jay on Thursdays, Second Base with Paul Anderson and the Kiss boys on Saturdays and Talking Loud, Saying Something with Gilles & Patrick on Sundays as I recall.....

shoreditch bloke at 12:39:15 Friday August 17 2001
With reference to the young ladies at The Norfolk . I'm sorry to spoil the idea of another bloody reunion but its been running as a Gay pub for the last couple of years with all day strippers of the male variety . I do however recall a couple of instances of male nudity in its previous incarnation . Tetley serving behind the bar on a christmas eve for a while and Potty, rather "refreshed", swinging around the fire escape out in the garden on an all dayer . Just thought you should know......

Niki at 12:39:6 Friday August 17 2001
Matt, OI!!!!! Don't wind me up at the start of the season... it is gonna be a very long one and it could get nasty ;o)) Gary, I think Steve the invisible lodger is coming out to play tonite as well, so worst ways there's four of us to share a cab back to the East End.

Matt at 12:20:19 Friday August 17 2001
Can anyone help me with a discussion I'm having. We're talking about Stomp @ Dingwalls back in '88(ish). Who else was DJ there other than Simon Dunmore and Ian Clark? By the way, Niki, why are you so keen for the football season to start. Its gonna be a long hard one (ooh-err) for the Hammers this year, finished with relegation in May (I've put money on that). Sorry to say but, cheer up, ask me or Simon, there is life in the Nationwide. As for Calamity James... that's not funny. No really, stop laughing. Not funny at all. ;0)

Mrs Webbo in film critic at 12:9:11 Friday August 17 2001
Sorry Gary, Nikki, Kaya we are all full up ,we really should try to cordinate our nights out abit more??Also Mrs Webbo says Planet of The Apes is pants!!!!!

Steve W at 12:6:25 Friday August 17 2001
Ah the Zero 6 (if it burnt down Pringle would've gone out of business overnight). Whatever did happen to Ian Reading (the cream cracker king)

Niki eat in g a custard tart at 12:5:45 Friday August 17 2001
Hmmmmm nutmeg.... which reminds me... FOOTIE SEASON!!! COMEONYOUIRRRONNNSSSSAH!!!

Niki at 12:2:50 Friday August 17 2001
Gary.... erm... ponce a lift?

Gary.M. at 12:2:7 Friday August 17 2001
Hi Niki, I will probably meet you at Limehouse, but how are you getting home?????

Niki at 11:59:10 Friday August 17 2001
Mrs Webbo, ooo ta! That's a relief.....

Niki at 11:52:21 Friday August 17 2001
Allo Gary, Kaya & I are going by train tonight if you fancy it. Limehouse Station @ 8pm... ????

Nick P at 11:50:49 Friday August 17 2001
Yeah, I remember the Top House allright. Didn't that all end because of too much trouble in the pub with the locals??

Niki at 11:48:44 Friday August 17 2001
Conrad, are you trying to suggest that Solar is too sophisticated for our tastes? You won't make friends and influence people like that mate.....

Gary.M. at 11:48:22 Friday August 17 2001
Hi Mrs Webbo, been on a business trip up't North. Fancy tonite, but haven't got any transport. Any offers anyone?

Gary.M. at 11:47:9 Friday August 17 2001
Nick P, I remember the POW in Ockendon very well, what about the Top House in Aveley as well?

Mrs Webbo at 11:46:12 Friday August 17 2001
Hi Gary where ya been? Will you be joining us tonite?

Mrs Webbo at 11:44:32 Friday August 17 2001
Mrs webbo says... yes Nikki but why did'nt you go before you left (hope you have'nt be waiting to long)...Just spoken to Monk (bless) who would like to say a bigTHANKYOU for your concern and to let everyone know he should out of hospital in a couple of days and will be intouch then.He sounded really good.Doris yes you must!!!!!

Hello all, I'm back.

Nick P at 11:41:45 Friday August 17 2001
In amongst all of this "who started the Essex soul scene" debate, I still can't help thinking that the saturday nights at Zero6 were a big part of it and nobody seems to mention that. Perhaps we're all biased towards our own memories. I seem to remember a popular Sunday night venue being the Prince of Wales in South Ockendon. Anyone remember that??

Conrad at 11:12:23 Friday August 17 2001
Mick Farrer's comments have stopped me lurkin'.....I can't understand why Solar doesn't get more mentions either....baffles me....there are 2 places that play the music we love in a format we love,Solar & 24-7,it seems that neither get the credence they deserve on this Forum, from people that allegedly know their music....Many,many of you have Sky Digital...you can listen in crystal clear digital sound....or is it(here is the contentious bit)that Solar's music policy,with its fine mix of Jazz as well as the soulful stuff is too stretching for the cheese lovers. I obviously hope not....because it deserves,as do all soulful mediums,your support.

Nick P at 11:11:47 Friday August 17 2001
Might be a bit behind the times here folks, but just spotted that Roy Ayers & Jocelyn Brown are playing at Summer Vibe in Tunbridge on the 26th. Shame it coincides with the Orsett do. Mind you, it does start early afternoon, so both are possible.

Niki at 11:3:18 Friday August 17 2001
Mrs Webbo, can I go to the toilet please?

Agent QC in CID HQ at 11:2:59 Friday August 17 2001
Agent HB, intelligence reports that Agent TD was, in fact, abducted by another 'SW'at team member, however the 'Shadow' still looms large. Stand down Bikini Black, but remain vigiliant..... stop.

Doris at 10:56:0 Friday August 17 2001
OK then .....if Mrs Webbo says so then I'm off to the Queens! Must obey, must obey.....

Doris at 10:47:21 Friday August 17 2001
PS Love the disclaimer!

Mrs webbo in plotting at 10:47:7 Friday August 17 2001
Mrs Webbo says ....... Girlies all out tonite and be very very naughty .I'm going to have lots of fun playing this game!!!!!

Doris at 10:47:0 Friday August 17 2001
Morning all - working from home today! There are times I love my job!

Niki at 10:35:24 Friday August 17 2001
Mrs Webbo, MBBD!!!! Did you know about the 'Ask Mrs Webbo' game? It's like 'Simon Says' but we ask you if we can go home etc.... :o)) Cya at the Queens later. GOOD GIRL!!

Niki at 10:34:41 Friday August 17 2001
PS TJ, what were you doing checking out my arse anyway? :o))

Steve W at 10:34:17 Friday August 17 2001
Don't fink its that sorta pub Niki (actually it is that sorta pub)

Niki rem in iscing at 10:31:57 Friday August 17 2001
The 'Essex Invasion' of the Norfolk Village must have happened around 1993/4 'cos I don't remember going there before then...... twenty years too late for everything me. Just checking out the Back In The Day pics of the Norfolk http://web.ukonline.co.uk/soulboys/images/back/pages/061_jpg.htm. Look how skinny and young we all were.... Carl, TJ!!! (TJ, don't think I've forgotten that crack about my hips on Sunday matey!) Ah, what fond memories of smoking big phat spliffs in the 'garden' out the back..... Seem to remember The Village was always going to be sold or knocked down or turned into a McDonalds, so for the next 2/3 years it was always the 'last night at the Norfolk'. And it's still there! Maybe we should go round and ask the new guvnor if he doesn't mind giving those nice young ladies a Saturday night off so we can have a Reunion!!!!

Agent Hornblower in CID SWAT HQ at 9:59:3 Friday August 17 2001
.......To Agent QC....The SWAT team is at Bikini Black - ready for immeadiate insertion ......has Agent TD been realeased yet ?.........

Michael Mc Donach in at work at 9:54:40 Friday August 17 2001
Re the Essex invasion - Seem to recall Gary Dennis / Mark Messent ( Grays ) Mark Benjamin ( Haddock )/ Trevor Parson / Chalky White (Benfleet/ Southend area )were possibly the forerunners of said invasion!!??

demented pizzhed at 9:46:38 Friday August 17 2001

TJ nice consise history of the "village" but as you are of advancing years and the memory cells are going a smidge !! No metion of our old mucker Brian Weeks ...got to be honest I aint seem him for a good while ..how about you / Still like with all true friends the loves still there !! Always remember you getting sick one eve at the village and asking some skinny little kid to take over and play your records...That boy couldn,t belive is good fortune !! He got to sort through a good half of TJs platters and boy did he enjoy it !! Remember Tel ? It was me !! Lucky little fella even then !! Do you know folks TJ even paid me for doing it !! Not quite the fees of today but a brand spanking new copy of Michelles "cant you feel it" on a 12". This was about 1980 and I only had the 7" so I was made up...trust me !! Great times Tel..love you bruv Remember Tel if you bump into Weeksey..tell im to call..And finally Tel your enthusiasm and knowledge has cost me a large fortune ....for that alone I thank you!!

Andy in New Jersey at 5:23:57 Friday August 17 2001
Isn't it good to know that amongst the mountain of crap that gets released under the category of soul and r&b, that just sometimes cream really does rise to the top. It's so encouraging that The Isleys Brothers look to have their biggest hit in many years (maybe decades?)- their new CD "Eternal" has just entered the U.S album charts at #3 - never look at them generally but this caught my eye on trip to record store today. If you haven't got it or heard it, it's not a club or dance album but a quality new soul with lots of echoes of their 70's material too. See what happens when the masses get to hear the REAL stuff? Maybe the record companies are now starting to wake up to the fact that not all buyers of black music want to hear manufactured r&b pop where it's almost impossible even to a trained ear to tell the difference between one set of crotch grabbing pretty boys trying to look like mean gangstas and the next. So Usher, Case (though in fairness he has his moments), Jagged Edge, 112 and all you other lightweight wannabees stand aside - QUALITY SOUL is once again is taking over the airwaves...Isleys, Maxwell, Methrone, Musicq Soulchild, Bilal, Jill Scott, Jaheim...and the people say YES!!!! And then when we add BeBe Winans, Donnie Mcclurkin and Yolanada Adams, the people say YES..HALLELUJAH! Are we at the dawn of a new golden age for soul music? I sure hope so.... Love & Peace.

Kaya at 2:6:17 Friday August 17 2001
Dr Bob!!! Top Show Maaate!! Can I go to bed now?

frenchie and Kerri at 1:20:46 Friday August 17 2001
Mick Farrer, This ones for you, while me and Kerri were in Barcelona last week we took a trip up the coast to see an old mate of mine who runs a little bar in Malgrat-de-mar. The first thing he mentioned was that he still plays the Funk CD which he blagged off me 2 years ago. Then I realised he was all digitalled up in the bar so I immediately got him Favouritted up for SOLAR. The Swan in Malgrat has been pointed in the right direction (all done at half time during saturdays football I might add). It's good we did that!

Frenchie n Kerri at 1:5:10 Friday August 17 2001
Niki , nice disclaimer babe , is that why a.o.l kicked me out just now when I was a lurkin?

TJ the DJ in doors surrounded by a SOUL mountain at 0:29:2 Friday August 17 2001

The Essex invasion really started at the end of the 7ts and the beginning of the 8ts with 4 young lads, called Neil Adkins, Taffy, Billy & Paul, along with Lyn, Tracey, Andronika(Taffy's ex wife, Angie, who is now Gary Goodfellow's mrs and a few others whose names escape me. Maybe I'll write a book and put the record there for everyone to see.......cya 2morrow kids, not at work today or 2morrow, far too busy going through the choon mountain, uncovered, when I retrieved the collection I had stored at The Old Blue Last today, we filled up a van with SOUL...treats in store all round for you lot, watch this space....QC, think I got a spare of the clap choon...!! specially 4 UUUUUUUU..xxxx

The Joke Man in Stitches at 22:18:1 Thursday August 16 2001
A baby was born so advanced in development he could talk. He looked around the delivery room and saw the doctor. “Are you my doctor?” he asked. “Why, yes, I am,” said the doctor. The baby said, “Thank you for taking such good care of me during the birth.” He looked at his mother and asked, “Are you my mother?” “Yes, dear, I am,” said the mother beaming. “Thank you for taking such good care of me before I was born,” he said. He then looked at his father and asked, “Are you my father?” “Yes, I am,” his father proudly answered. The baby motioned him closer, then poked him repeatedly on the forehead with his index finger. “Hurts, doesn’t it!”

Soulboys CID at 22:6:39 Thursday August 16 2001
Soulboys Special CID (Cheese In Demand) are put on high alert following reports of the alleged abduction of Agent TD to an unknown bar in Central London. Agents should be doubly vigilant as intelligence suggests that a second suspect, displaying symptoms of compulsive insanity is shadowing our Agent. Soulboys CID are negotiating with the alleged kidnapper and have been able to speak briefly with the hostage who is quoted as saying "well it's not too bad, I'm being well looked after and the music's wicked man. Don't rescue me too quickly". We will keep you informed of up to the minute developments in the hostage and stalker crisis, but have no further comment at this time. CID

Mick Farrer in in my record room preparing for my Friday night show on Solar at 21:53:19 Thursday August 16 2001
Hi Soul Brothers and Sisters and hope all is fine.Question time:Is there any particular reason why Solar Radio never seems to be mentioned on this forum?If you are not aware of it then i urge you to either log onto www.solarradio.com or if you have Sky digital then tune in to channel 879 in wonderful crystal clear digital stereo.You never know what you might be missing.All i can say is that the station comes highly recommended for all lovers of our wonderful music called Soul!(with a capital S).Keep it soulful,Mick. P.S.Hi Niki,Kaya,Terry,Steve W,Sarah,Maria etc,etc... Frostie-Keep listening in on Friday nights and thanks for your kind comments.

Afternoon All!

Northern Jane in Work at 12:40:40 Wednesday August 15 2001
Afternoon everyone. Wanted to let you all know how much me and my rather large fella enjoyed the Cheese and Wine on Sunday. Would have been in touch earlier but have only just returned to work after leaving my voice on the dancefloor in the Bang Bar and my head somewhere on the M3. Had a great day/night with top class people. Kaya and David - great to meet a fellow northerner with a broader accent than mine. Mrs Webbo - Just ordered my lunch, 1 ryvita, a lettuce leaf and a glass of water - don't think so. Niki, Dawn, Doris, Frostie and Lee - the remainder of the 'magnificent minibus seven' Nikki - definitely need MWBD! Maria and Sarah in Braisingsteak - HELLOOOOO, gutted that you weren't there on sunday hope you had a great time waving your flag in Jamaica. Hope to see you all real soon!!!!!!!

Arthur Scargill at 12:31:11 Wednesday August 15 2001
Well picket lines do work so long as people don't go scabbing.

Nick P in bring back Maggie at 12:27:41 Wednesday August 15 2001
It's just amusing that anyone thinks this is going to achieve anything. Talking politics, the UK is going down the pan and TB is doing f'all about it. Amazing the difference 50 odd years can make. S*d it all and let's go on a Caister world tour - now that would be worth marching for!!!

Niki listening to Phil on 24-7 aga at 12:27:25 Wednesday August 15 2001
TJ, off to the Studio. Nik's Reliable CD Delivery Service swings into action :o)

Arthur Scargill at 12:22:38 Wednesday August 15 2001
Nick P, are you saying you're having fun crossing picket lines? Tut Tut Tut. There's a word for that kind.

Niki contempat in g a 5 CD box set of yesterdays musical extravaganza at 12:21:19 Wednesday August 15 2001
The Bar Bed Doo is off, but Soul Heaven should be on as normal. Check the Caister Site for info.

Nick P at 12:1:51 Wednesday August 15 2001
Amusing coming into work this morning. There's a 'dispute' in one of the production plants, so 500 workers are blocking the access roads - sitting there eating their sarnies and you have to try and drive through them. Select reverse, back up 50 yards. select 1st, rev engine, drop clutch, go for it!!! Makes 'em run!!! Dunno what it's all about, but, best guess is it's nice day!!! Looks like fun on the way out again....

Melissa at 11:44:48 Wednesday August 15 2001
Oh, Rod, so that's why Soul Heaven isn't on this month. Cheers.

Rod Sterling at 11:22:38 Wednesday August 15 2001
With a key, you unlock a door to imagination, beyond it is another dimension, a dimension of sight a dimension of sound a dimention of mind. You're moving through a land of both shadow and substance of things and ideas, guiding you through this wondorous journey is the hypnotic sound of the Twilight Zone...

Melissa at 11:8:56 Wednesday August 15 2001
Is there no Soul Heaven in St. Paul's this month? Most mortified!

ANDY PEARCE IN CALIFORNIA - Hi ya honey, how's Mersey????? Me, Jay, Ann, Ian and the rest of the Motley crew unfortunately aren't going to Caister in September cause we are moving and a party isn't a party unless you and Maria are there ! ! ! How's the sunshine over there? It's hot, hot, hot here which makes a bloody change.... Andy, you and Maria must come over for the May Caister and we're gonna have it large to make up for lost soul time ! Have a look in the Caister photos under the Caister Boys column, I think they are in Sept 2000. There's a great photo of Mersey, Ann, Faye and Sally. You are going to miss Jay's 30th birthday party this coming Sat which is going to be the best Soul night there is cause Paul Collins is DJing (he's the DJ who did a shout to you on your last night at Ann's - another quiet Friday night in ! ! ) WHEN YOU COMING HOME????????? Take care honey and speak later, Love Claire and Jay xxxxx

Andy in New Jersey - sitting in Trainspotters corner happily humming along to Chuck Jackson at 1:10:43 Wednesday August 15 2001
"But those arms you gotta around me will let me go someday, And I'd rather leave you holding on than pushing me away, So I'm leaving, This time I'm playing it smart, I'm gonna walk away from love, Before love breaks my heart!" How in God's name (sorry TJ!), did I miss this on the CD when it came out? Different in feel to both the David Ruffin and Natural Four interpretations of the song...Pass the kleenex, I'm coming over all peculiar! On that I shall bid you a goodnight and good morning!!!

Andy in New Jersey where rain has stopped play at 0:54:4 Wednesday August 15 2001
Evening all and greetings from Her Majesty's former colonies where this evenings' musical plans have been well and truly scuppered by a dousing from the heavens. It's actually been a bad day all round actually. Woke up late on the wrong side of the bed tired and miserable, missed TJ's radio show because of connection problems and cancelled plans to see Jon Lucien because it's raining (not normally a problem unless the venue happens to be a boat!)- and I don't mean a few little drops either. Everything here is oversized, burgers, sandwiches, rain, you name it. Here's hoping for a better tomorrow. Best part of the day was finding a long-lost CD under the bed by Chuck Jackson! Check out his 1998 version of "Walk Away From Love" on the "I'll Never Get Over You" CD and let it take you to another place. The power of soul music eh ? Love and Peace.

Talc at 22:37:46 Tuesday August 14 2001

Oi Kaya we're back. Hi Netty,phil,nicky and everyone else, looks like we missed a good two weeks, Jamaica was'nt to bad though, we went to sun splash Mo Bay saw so many artist half I thought were dead, Coco T stole the show though. Well been gone for a couple of weeks, and just about ready for a good old soul do, so. whats happening this week-end.

Aud in a mood 'cos me mates poorly. at 19:53:14 Monday August 13 2001
Evening all.!!!!..Good day out yesterday. I know Donna enjoyed herself as well. Good to see those [old] faces. I wish I coud remember who it was that I was talking to about the Yate All Nighters circa 1974...I've aso had three phone calls and an email about the Junior Walker track I played. For those with an ear it was "Gotta Hold On To This Feeing".

Andy in a hot and steamy New Jersey at 19:51:33 Monday August 13 2001
Afternoon folks! Hope you are all well. Steve W - Tony Humphries has started a new gig called "Nuttz" on Tuesday nights at Baktun, 418 W14th St, 10-4. I'm actually planning to go along tomorrow night - after I've been to see the incomparable Jon Lucien playing on a crusie ship bash oragnsied by a local radio station!! I had a chance to chat with Tony Humphries a few weeks ago at a MAW gig (though I was drunk rotten by the time!) and despite the fact that he's made his name on the house and dance music circuit, he's like (some of) the more enlightened brothers and sisters who frequent this site - he's a true soul boy at heart! Caught Jill Scott in Newark last night and very glad to say that she was all I hoped that she would be. Tremendous voice of course, great stage presence, funny and a small but perfectly formed catalogue of songs which she comfortably stretched to over 1.5 hours! Finally, for my two cents on the issue of the moment. I'm just glad that alot of people who for whatever reason went missing from the scene, are now back in the fold. I kind of drifted in and out for a few years, primarily due to the fact that there were really weren't that many gigs I wanted to go to (when I did however I mostly went north to Searling gigs, TJ @ The Norfolk Village and occasionally to Garage City) and also the fact that I had a family to consider. I still do of course, but those early years of marriage and kids can be quite consuming as I'm sure many of you will testify to. What is important however is that so many of the old crowd are back and for that we should all be really pleased. Let's not tear this thing apart too much - let's just enjoy it while we can! Love, Peace and Slimfast! Andy, xxx

Ian in G.Y. at 19:25:34 Monday August 13 2001
Monk, sorry to hear about your pridicament, hope your better soon. Oi!! Frostie, i hope your looking after my Barbara Acklin & Gene Chandler single :o))

Nick P at 15:38:59 Monday August 13 2001
and there was me thinking Kid Creole's "Annie" was a top tune...damn, got it wrong again........

Steve W in his own defence. at 15:31:7 Monday August 13 2001
Frostie. While just because I was mr "face" I was there. Ok so I wasn't an Essex boy but I WAS THERE (ask Mick Farrer/reidy ect) I worked in one of the leading importers (Bluebird) & was regular at the Goldmine/Hilltop/Special Branch/Swan & Sugarloaf?Doo@the Zoo/Rockley Sands/Boscombe along with the likes of Shake & Fingerpop/Stomp/High on Hope/Queer Nation/Sole @ The Metropolitan plus adventures to the likes Of Parkers/The Kilt ect. I dropped out?laid low call it what you want due to the fact that I became disillusioned with the lack of quality on the scene & I was raising a family (like many others who have returned to the scene over the last few years. I don't dispute that Bill Harris/Natural 4/ Benny troy all great records but come on every time. There are as many obvious records that don't get the exposure they deserve. Cheese @ the right times is fine but lets not neglect those Quality NEW records that in few years time will be fetching big money when those who had blinkered vision didn't give them the exposure they deserved (step forward D'Breeze>. Lets not forget the likes of the Goldmine punters actually made hits in the late 70's/early 80's & infulenced the direction of Clubland . Tell me do they now? Where is the new blood?

Kaya at 15:16:46 Monday August 13 2001
Good Morning Maaates! Excellent day/night yesterday, sorry we had to leave early but it had been a very Loooong weekend (about 2 weeks long, actually!) Great to see everyone, Netty, Phil & Friends, Scouse, Brownie, Frostie, The Webbos (Mrs W, I LOVE that jacket!!), Aud, Doris (Mwah mwah) CD (stop stressing!) Monk, Hazel, Northern Jane & especially Big Rick (it really has been far FAR too long!)...Monk my darling, I wish you well and hope that you feel better knowing that the event you organised was a great success, well done maaate! XXX (if I've forgotten anyone sorry, it was great seeing you anyway!)

Frostie at 14:50:20 Monday August 13 2001
Nick P, no I was a Canvey Island boy who listened to Robbie Vincent every Saturday morning, visited Jifs and Griffins in the afternoon followed by one or two in that white pub in Romford market.

Niki at 14:39:11 Monday August 13 2001
I've just spoken to Brownie with regards to Monk. For those who don't know, poor old Ian (Monk), was rushed to hospital yesterday morning with a suspected heart attack. The latest news is that he is very pissed off, has a blocked artery and is being moved to a hospital in Tooting for a specialist scan. He's clearly not too well, but he's still with us and being taken good care of!!! Get well soon Monk maaaate!! 8-3-1 from all of us.....

Frostie at 14:34:27 Monday August 13 2001
Preacher Man - are you taking a permanent pratt-pill or does talking (or for that matter writing) b#ll**ks on this website give you the opportunity to express self-opinionated and unjustified allegations. For your information, I turned up at the last Lacy Lady far from tired - the very opposite in fact - and being the individual who defined the term "cheesy set" i.e. an hour's worth of floor fillers played in the Caister Main Room first time around - I can categorically state that the likes of Bill Harris, Benny Troy, Natural Four, Danny Williams, Barbara Acklin etc. would not accompany the bread board, knife and crackers on my turntable. Love and care about soul music? Along with Webbo, Frenchie, Chris Brown and various others - some now 'premier league' DJs - I was on that Soul Holiday to Ibiza arranged by Nicky Holloway / Special Branch that subsequently changed the club / dance culture as we knew it. Within two years, it is not an exaggeration to say, that the agreeably excellent tunes now being played by Niki & Kaya were virtually non-existant except for the odd one-nighter. By chance I heard about a small pub in Shoreditch High Street playing proper soul to a small but enthusiastic crowd every Friday night. The DJ in question was a certain Mr Terry Jones and within six months due to 100% commitment from the likes of myself, Tim Gillis, Rick, Kaya & Niki and other disciples the Norfolk Village became an institution and the foundation of which the soul scene within London / Home Counties is built around today along with of course this Website, Caister and enthusistic promoters. Steve W, practice before you preach. Get your facts right before contributing snide remarks - and after all where were you (and for that matter who are you) during this time? Hiding behind the cheese counter perhaps?

Nick P at 14:17:39 Monday August 13 2001
yes, Frost, i did. You didn't go on those coaches did ya?? I was a Jifs records boy as well!!! I still remember stopping at a pub (near Hemel hempstead) on the way to an all dayer and when we left, the landlord came running after us because someone nicked all the brass ornaments he he had. I think we were going to Caesers palace.

Frostie at 13:50:49 Monday August 13 2001
Hello Ali maaaaaaate. First dundelt-phone sorted. Monk suspected Angina-Heart attack yesterday morning. How about a drink soon? Nick P, so I guess you used to shop @ Griffins?

Nick P at 13:9:58 Monday August 13 2001
Hi Ali. Still working all the hours???

Ali at 13:5:16 Monday August 13 2001
Hi all. Wots the matter with Monk? Does anyone have his email address pls? xx

Nick P at 12:21:31 Monday August 13 2001
Are you around Wendy WOO?? If so, need your Caister piccies asap.

Nick P at 12:14:32 Monday August 13 2001
Andy Hardy, It may seem like 100 yards going down the hill, but after a pint or two, it's a bloody long way back up. Anyway, if you remember, I had a pub at the bottom of my garden!!! Funnily enough, also the only one I've been banned from - apart from a samll incident in the Kings Head in Romford. Talking of which, did anyone on here used to catch the coach from there to Zero 6?? Those were my early soul days. Kaya, I guess you were from Harold Hill & would remember some of the names. Kevin Duncan, Gary Higgins, Coggsy, Stella, Karen Hill (I think). i'm sure that's where I first knew Romford. All used to go under the heading of 'Romford Royals'.

Mark G in with only 9 days holiday left... at 11:46:2 Monday August 13 2001
Morning All.. Seems like the Cheese and Wine was a success?? Didnt think it would be long before the talc came out :o)) Ian Morty - Cant find your e-mail address, can you send me it please. What happened to Monk ??????

Netty in on me way to help the cleaners wash the floor at 11:39:55 Monday August 13 2001

When we got home Phil sat down and said about 20 times in as many different phrases, i really enjoyed myself tonight! wasn't it good! aren't they smashing people! wasn't there some good choons played! I had a great time etc, etc, and did agree (when he let me get a comment in) Hope monk's ok, oh and Mr Simpson do you want me to add lenor when i rinse your shirt out? Love to Doris, CD, Niki, Kaya and David and all you others i was too shy to talk to ooopppsss and TJ of course XXX Netty

No doubt there will be some "poorly heads" in the morning (Niki!!)can it be Sunday night already.......!!!!

Bomber in recovery position at 20:56:55 Sunday August 12 2001
Hiya folks. Just in from staying at the Holiday Inn in Kensington, London. what a brill weekend I have had.......lots of fun alchohol, food was fantastic and the company was excellent. Decided to do it again very soon. (different class of man in Kensington , don't you know ladies)Nothing is too much trouble..............!! Children off on their hold tommorow with their dad so I am on my own for 2 weeks.......what shall I do...!!!?????

Andy in New Jersey at 17:34:44 Sunday August 12 2001
As the song guys, I'm "Easy like Sunday Morning" people. Coffee in one hand, typing with the other and Bobbi Humphrey's "Harlem Rive Drive" flowing from the radio (WBLS). It's what Sunday mornings are for! Live music frenzy in NYC this week and I'll be trying to catch as many as I possibly can - Jill Scott (tonight) and Jon Lucien (Tuesday) are confirmed, looks like I've screwed up on Maxwell tickets and still not sure whether I'll go and see Teddy P and Stephanie Mills - Having seen Teddy at his best at the Hammersmith Odeon some 20 years ago, I'm just not sure whether I can go and see him performing live when he is tragically confined to a wheelchair. Anyway, have a great week and I hope some of you are planning to make it over to Washington DC in November for the Soul24-7 US party - sounds like a blast and am hoping that all expat Soulboys/24-7 listeners can make it to the capital for what should be a fabulous weekend. Love, Peace and a large frothy Starbucks coffee!!!!

Alan Champ in Sutton, Surrey at 16:17:40 Sunday August 12 2001
Fancy six different Northern Soul RA files delivered to your mailbox every day of the week ? I run a chat list called KTF Audio, which consists of seven different soul collectors/DJs each contributing a handful of tunes on a different day each week. Average file size is 400k (average 2 min 30 sec track recorded at 20 kbps), and you can elect to have them emailed to you, or download them from the server yourself. Give me a shout off-list if you want details. Alan

Ian Stewart at 12:15:33 Sunday August 12 2001
Morning all, just got up after drinking far too much last night. Have a great time in Basingstoke

I AM A VIRUS

Niki still catch in g up with e-mail at 16:18:27 Saturday August 11 2001
A quick lesson in computer viruses.... if you get a virus it is almost certain to come via e-mail in the form of an attachment. It is also possible that you can get one from a floppy diskette which has been in another infected machine (say a mate gives you a Word document on a floppy) or by surfing highly illegal websites (stay away from the grot boys!). Anyway, most of these things get sent by e-mail, you open the attachment and it infects your computer before you know what's happening. Know your file extensions - All these should be fine and virus free .jpg (JPEG photo) .gif (GIF image) .htm (Webpage) .txt (text file). Files which you should scan through Anti-virus software before you open them are Office Documents (.doc, .xls etc) and Applications (.exe). If you have Norton Antivirus you can right click on any file and choose "Scan with Norton..." WATCH OUT for files which have dodgy double extensions, for example .doc.vbs - .vbs is visual basic script and screams out "iamavirus.txt.vbs" DELETE IT BIN IT Don't even be tempted to be curious about it. The latest kind of virus likes to send itself to everyone in your address book - your mates open it - it gets sent to all their mates etc. My best advice is to get a decent anti-virus software, I think Norton is best, make sure you update the software regularly and scan your system once a week. Hope this helps.

scouserpaul at 16:4:32 Saturday August 11 2001
Afternoon, mates! I've managed to get my bike running so I'm off for a razz. Steve, if you have those leathers I'll be interested in having them off you for a small financial consideration. See you all @ the Cheese & Wine tomorrow. Yerss!

Allo Kaya mate, R.K. on it's way... I've just had the stats in from last week and I've gotta say F*@$%&g NORA!!! 5321 hits on this page last week. All I've gotta say is HELLLLOOOOOO LURKERS.... We know who you are!

Afternoon Maaates! Had a top time @ Agila last night (Ian Stewart, I want one of those chaise's!). Niki, we nearly played 'that' record (hahaha) next time? Good to see Bod, Kev James, MaB & Cheza, Doris, Sharon @ everyone else who was there! Hope you all have a fab Saturday night (those of you going to the Vala Tone doo say 'hi' to Johnny T for me) and I'll look forward to seeing you all tomorrow @ the Wine & Cheese party (evening dress optional)...xxx

Does anybody know if DJs Ian & Rob are doing Caister in September? (I would have thought so,but can anyone confirm). I was out in Brighton and managed to catch their set @ Russ Debbury's Jazz Rooms . The place was absolutely jumping to some of the deepest material I have heard for years(old and new). They mixed up the journey to send a very, very hip crowd into a frenzy-----very good to see that, the last time i did was when Gilles P used to do Cock happy gigs.Keep it up guys if you read this, next time I will come and introduce myself.

Ian Stewart at 12:0:59 Saturday August 11 2001
Thanx to Niki & Kaya for last night, & a big cheer to all those who attended. Hopefully we will get there. Don't forget August 24th guest DJ is Frostie

Niki,Kaya,Doris,Carl and Ian, nice to see you last night. Respect to Nik and Kaya for laying down some quality Latin, Brazilian and Jazzy sounds, who needs Gilles Peterson,Russ Dewbury and alike when you two are available. Take it easy everyone.

Steve W at 11:5:30 Saturday August 11 2001
Mornin' all. Take Me Home was wot you call an actual garage toon. Its on the Paradise Garage mix CD that came out last year & Norman Jays been flogging it for yonks. It was Chers'last Us 10 until she teamed up with that long haired bloke from Bon Jovi in the mid 80's (just how sad is this. As to Sophie Ellis Baxter the only mix worth playing is the jazzy one where she is no where to seen or heard. Hall & oates revial anyone?

You forgot about the monkey:o)

The Joke Man at 9:14:12 Saturday August 11 2001
A little rabbit is happily running through the forest when he stumbles upon a giraffe rolling a joint. The rabbit looks at her and says, “Giraffe my friend, why do you do this? Come with me running through the forest, you’ll see, you’ll feel so much better!” The giraffe looks at him, looks at the joint, tosses it and goes off running with the rabbit. Then they come across an elephant doing coke, so the rabbit again says, “Elephant my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health. Come running with us through the pretty forest, you’ll see, you’ll feel so good!” The elephant looks at them, looks at his razor, mirror and all, then tosses them and starts running with the rabbit and giraffe. The three animals then come across a lion about to shoot up... “Lion my friend, why do you do this? Think about your health! Come running with us through the sunny forest, you will feel so good!” The lion looks at him, puts down his needle, and starts to beat the shit out of the little rabbit. As the giraffe and elephant watch in horror, they look at him and ask, “Lion, why did you do this? He was merely trying to help us all!” The lion answers, “That little fecker makes me run around the forest like an idiot for hours every time he’s on ecstasy!”

scouserpaul - stay in up late again at 2:5:23 Saturday August 11 2001
For those of you who might be interested, me & Ian are on about Take Me Home by Cher; a fine example of quality disco from 1979. The first time I played, someone asked me if I had anything by Cher. As of last Tuesday, the answer would have to be be yes.

Ian! After I sent you that CD, I heard Sophie Ellis-Grooovejet doing her version on commercial radio. Predictably, I think the original was better. But I would say that, wouldn't I?

Hello everyone! Long time, no sprekenze! Who's got the website Caister@tinyworld?? Whoever it is, is sending viruses to everyone in their address book, which is subsequently being sent on to everyone on Soulboys with the virus appearing to come from Soulboys. Not good really.

Anyway, you will have to have a serious word with J re Caister at his b'day party Ann wants to know if you are going tonight to Billericay. play a tune for Ann and I tonight.

Paul Collins in my alternative guise to Bod or Observer at 16:18:52 Friday August 10 2001

Doris I agree with Dj's realtionship with the punters (without 'em you're just spinning records to yourself but then there are several of those who do that anyway). Ian Stewart good choice of alais (great album too many happy memories of the Goldmine when it was the Goldmine.) On a totally different note: Just got the track listing through for the new Good Times CD & guess what The Flirtations is gonna be on it. Right have a good 'un everyone (esp If you're going to Bar Aquila) I'm off to sort some choonz out as I'nm warming up in deepest darkest Gypsy Hill (thanx Ray). Just one last question Why didn't Youngy or Clarky (the Mick variety) really get the props they deserved.

Guy comes off his motro bike and ends up in a field. When he comes round the ambulance has arrived but he has lost his right ear. "Quick" says the paramedic - wip one of those pigs ears on and we'll graft it on - SO they do. The ear specialist then explains to the unlucky gut that the pigs ear is made of similar tissue to the human ear, and over years the new ear will take the same 'Human' form. Surely enough it does. Two years later the guy goes back to see the specialist and he gives the hear a 100% success verdict. "Do you experience any problems?" asks the specialist.. well says the guy... every now and then I do get a bit of cracklin in it !!!!!

How about the 252 from Hornchurch that used to drop us owf at the top of Romford market, about 3 minutes walk away from the Bitter End. Of course, in the early 80's was the introduction of the 193 that provided an alternative route. Bloomin' good bus (for a single decker). Anyway, I'm owf to watch the test-card on telly.

le shadow in lounging poolside chadwell heath.... at 16:38:53 Thursday August 9 2001
Barking stations has a fist full of pubs next to it , heathway has the Denman, Daggers East the aptly mamed Railway Tavern, Becontree has the Pipers due to reopen as a witherspoon super pub(r they sure!!). Upney has the fly house....its not quite next to it but a very short stroll!!East ham has the overdraft on the hill....Upton park the queens....Plaistow the victoria .....I really need to lie down Vive and love le shadow.......

Melissa at 16:27:49 Thursday August 9 2001
No, Kaya, I don't remember it at all, but I do remember a jolly nice journey on the tube, when we were all merrily stuck in a tunnel for four hours after a complete track failure and were herded out onto the track, where we whistled our way along the dark, grimey lines until we reached the calm and sanctuary of Bethnal Green station just half a mile's stroll away... aah, memories!

kaya at 16:7:48 Thursday August 9 2001
although i love the underground, i have a weakness for buses. has anyone got any info on my favourite bus route the 87 from harold hill to barking. i had many a happy time making sandwiches and boarding it for the ride. happy memories. does anyone remember when the out going 15.34 from barking got a puncture and had to pull over and stan the bus driver was off duty but he came to the rescue as he got all the passengers off (myself included) and we went round his house for tea and scones until the bus was fixed. hooooo what a day, great memories

Matt at 16:0:50 Thursday August 9 2001
Niki - you got mail. Give us a call. Cheers luv. Matt.

Miles End at 14:54:5 Thursday August 9 2001
YES....I can't !

Mrs C at 14:47:29 Thursday August 9 2001
Hello Niki, I guess as it is you, and I have met you,she can, as long as she's home before 10pm.

Benny Hill at 14:44:30 Thursday August 9 2001
You lot come on here with your fancy District Line ways.....

Nick P at 14:27:38 Thursday August 9 2001
Elm Park is a bit further than 100 yards....maybe 125 yds, but then I wouldn't call that a pub. Who can name all the pubs near the stations on the district line, east of aldgate??

Niki at 14:24:36 Thursday August 9 2001
Allo Mrs. Cassius, is Drumstix allowed to come round my house tonight? I'm very sensible and won't lead her astray, honest!

Niki at 14:22:54 Thursday August 9 2001
Hey astrocentre.com! Was there a full moon yesterday? Or some mischievous planetary alignment???

dave s in dancing tight at 14:15:43 Thursday August 9 2001
ok, ok, ok, point taken there all as equally as good as each other. but aren't you missing the point a little tube station in the borough by the name of upney. all the others of got a mention but not this one.

Mrs Cassius-in the attic in Gidea Park at 14:15:34 Thursday August 9 2001
BTW I have a good mind to ground my daughter from this site, anyone agree?

Mrs Cassius-Champion Lurker at 14:13:36 Thursday August 9 2001
I'm sure my daughter said that swear words were forbidden in the forum. If I were your mother I take a bar of the nasty primary school soap and wash your mouth out with it... But I'm not ...So I won't!

Niki at 14:11:25 Thursday August 9 2001
Oh yeah, Essex Boys!! Don't forget that myself and Kaya will be spinning the choons at Bar Agila, Agila Health Club, Billericay this Friday from 8-12.00pm. Admission is FREE and the beer is cheap!!!!!

Message from Doris... she has received the "Snow White" virus today on her soulboys e-mail. The subject of the e-mail is "hahahahaaa". It's been going round for a while, so if you get it don't open the attachment just delete the e-mail and then delete it from deleted items if necessary. Obviously one of you nice people has got a virus on your PC. If you haven't got anti-virus software, go to www.symantec.com and download Norton Antivirus, do a live update to get the latest anti-virus files and then scan your entire system. Even if you aren't aware that there's a virus on your system it may be lurking......

Although it is rarely mentioned, the fact is that Pisces is capable of violence. A Pisces general has fought many a war, perhaps because this sign is more comfortable than others with chaos and crisis. Today, you would find great relief if you allowed yourself to release some of your natural aggression. You don't have to start a war - just go to the squash court, and let that ball rip!

Kaya at 13:44:53 Thursday August 9 2001
...and if you need more info, maps etc,about Bar Agila, Agila Health Club, 21 Bebington Close (off Radford Crescent) Billericay this Friday from 8-12.00, you can contact Mr Ian Stewart (Euan Bass - why would you change such a GROOVY name!?) on 01277 - 630 777... did I mention that admission is FREE??

Kaya at 13:38:17 Thursday August 9 2001
Oi, Niki don't forget to mention that we're playing at Bar Agila, Agila Healthe Club (HEALTH CLUB, US??!!), 21 Bebington Close (off Radford Crescent) Billericay this Friday from 8-12.00 and admission is FREE!!!

One thing about most tube stations though, there's normally a pub within 100 yards.....

Dagenham Tourist Board at 13:36:29 Thursday August 9 2001
Heathway Station is our flagship station, second only to Becontree...erm and maybe Dagenham East! What do you need Leicester Square for, I've heard that it's full of wily orientals anyway...

You're all talking crap. Leicester Square is rubbish, hoardes of Spanish students getting in the way with their rucksacks, pissed up menacing fools in suits and that homeless geezer that draws really nasty pictures in orange chalk outside. Trust me, Barking's gotta be better. Er... anyway, Niki get in touch will ya, need to see if you can make the big meet next Thursday!

Niki at 13:18:26 Thursday August 9 2001
Greetings groooooovers!! Well, I think the whole world went mad yesterday... or maybe it was just me?! Anyway, I've been involved with these Internet Forum thingies for a few years now - blimey you should see the rows that go on in Football sites! Soulboys is no different to the footie sites, in that we are talking about a subject we are very passionate about. If you sat us all down in a room together we would say the same things we say on here (and far more besides) and we would have a heated debate. I often get asked who made a particular posting, and whilst I can find out, I rarely bother. It's always going to be one of us, and it's never going to matter! This Forum gets over 4,000 hits a week, it's very difficult to keep tabs and I don't want to anyway. We could have a registration system or clock IP addresses, but life would become very boring. No more postings from Taxidermists or The Doorman or Ollie the Dog..... So a few words of advice kiddies.... Live and let live. If you don't agree with something said, don't get your knickers in a twist. Just respond and say why you don't agree. Don't criticise or make comments directed at any individual. THINK about how other people might feel about your words before you immortalise them on here. Written comments can be misconstrued, and mean different things to different readers. You are welcome to take part in any discussion about Soul music and Soul events - that's what it's all about. However, we are all adults so think before you press the 'Okay' button, OK!

Steve at 13:18:3 Thursday August 9 2001
Afternoon maates. Ere Bob, got that money you owe me yet?

Robert Maxwell at 13:17:37 Thursday August 9 2001
You won't find any crap channels on Sky TV.

dave s at 13:9:2 Thursday August 9 2001
quite true kaya. but i was comparing barking and leicester square. think of the heathway, what a station

Nick P at 12:59:16 Thursday August 9 2001
Nah, Ealing Broadway is the quickest, get you there in a flash...

Kaya at 12:54:42 Thursday August 9 2001
dave s, don't you go throwing cats, I'll ave the RSPCA on ya!! I still think that Covent Garden Station is better for Covent Garden Piazza, although Leicester Square is better for Long Acre....

Nick P at 12:50:45 Thursday August 9 2001
last seen being chased along the road by a group of old biddy's......

dave s in fluffys at 12:50:21 Thursday August 9 2001
with all this arguing i must throw the cat among the pigeons. i think leicester square is a better train station than barking, especially if you want to walk down to covent garden.

Mark G at 12:43:15 Thursday August 9 2001
Afternoon all - Has anyone been in touch with Steve W ?

Steve Redgrave at 12:29:15 Thursday August 9 2001

Afternoon Nick, I agree with every word you said!...Now, who wants a row?

Nick P at 12:15:58 Thursday August 9 2001
Afternoon Kaya, and all..

Nick P in Don King promotions at 12:14:32 Thursday August 9 2001
Waht's all this fightin' talk?? I said it'd all end in tears didn't I. Trouble is, I don't really see what all the fuss is about. This all a bit like having Sky TV. 5 people sitting in a room all want to watch their own favourite show. Each show is good to that individual, but crap to the next. They'll all argue over what to watch, then 10 minutes later they'll all be glued to the set. The next week, they'll all be sitting there again. Same arguement, but with different channels!!! Proving, you can't please all of the people......why do you think that Caister has always had more than one room??? Put down your boxing gloves & pick up yer snakebites. Life is for living, not proving who's right & who's wrong.

Kaya at 12:6:29 Thursday August 9 2001
Good Morning Maaates!

Melissa at 11:56:37 Thursday August 9 2001
Dear Gilo. I strongly recommend 'Pro Derm' - fantastic suntan stuff. It's pricey, but just one application per day and you're sorted for swimming, towelling and and other 'ings' you fancy! And it's got a nice, foamy, light feel, non-sticky too. Guaranteed not to peel. Get it from Boots, me thinks. Worth every penny. (OK, I did do the PR for it, but it IS really good, honest!)xx

Matt in eager anticipation of football season starting this Saturday at 11:53:50 Thursday August 9 2001
Simon - seen the latest 'When Saturday Comes?. Interesting article about the attempting boardroom coup by Snr Giovanni Di Stefano at Norwich City. Seems quite a colourful character. A friend to President Pastrana of Colombia, Sadam Hussein, Arkan and ... er... Delia Smith.

well the opening went well. john bond talked for ages about his little rabbit and how he feeds it. dave celebrated by buying cola for all the customers but refused to let any of the bunnys have any. so people if you need any info on rabbits come to dave's shop in barking. if you live in ilford, east ham, dagenham you can hop on a bus. if not you can jump on a train. when you have sunday dinners make sure you eat them all up.
