'tis true ;-) But I guess the sanme could be said for Richards/Clapton/Jones/Korner etc etc and The Blues

It probably depends on when and how you got into it (which depends on age/where your from etc). I went to the clubs - Shoom/Spectrum/Land of Oz/Planet Love)in 88 when it was new and felt fresh but actually it was that schorcher in 1989 which created the real massive revolution (in the south anyway) - the M25 outdoor party scene, ironically partly becuase all the Clubs stopped doing Acieeeed nights because of bad publicity/backlash Over socioligised but ok documentary By the time it went BACK into the clubs I was too old and bored but I guess El Pibe you were probably the right age for that explosion, my missus was part of that new Club culture for eg, and she's a fair few years younger than me.

Ipswich late equaliser against Saints could be crucial. Getting very tight at the top now with Reading especially on a roll and Middlesboro out of their dodgy patch. Hammers have Watford and Doncaster at home next sooooooooooo probably going to drop points :-S Birmingham's season starting to catch up with them and Southampton wobbling. I'm gonna go with the Irons and 'Boro or Reading for the automatics.

...go to it Jez, I'm in :))

Come on, most of these aren't Gangsta how about ..I ain't new to this - Ice T

1.37 with a bottle of Pils....by which I mean the drink not anything of a Pharma nature ;-)

Nettie, Hilly was hardly a big noise in the house seen although at one stage he was the best paid dj in the country although most people had never heard of him and Pete Tong was doing the obscure slots in the smallest venues when I used to go to Caister :))

I was giving up on the Southern Soul Scene by about 1983 when all the Casuals came in and it went a bit white T-shirt, was never into the Northern Soul thing too retro (even in the late 70s) and didn't like their style of dancing (or dress) as much as the tighter Funk and Jazz Funk moves. A lot of soulboys reunited with their old colleaguse who'd deserted to New Romantcism/Punk under the 'rare Groove' scene in the mid 80s, which as far as I ciiuld see was Robert Elms et al holding fort at the Wag. I went to a few Dirt Boxes which were far less elitist and Zoot Suit but when Aciiid came on the scene it got rid of all that horrible, suits in clubs posey wankery elitist vibe that had put me off clubs by then. Though you had to play your cards right too get into Shoooom ;-) Of course, southern Soul Boys had a massive influence on the house scene in the south. Danny Rampling, Terry Farley, Pete Tong, Paul Oakenfield, to name a few, all Soulboys of the southern variety. The lack of credit or even history that the southern funk & soul scene gets amazes me when everyone w+nks so much over Northern Soul Anyway, back on thread, no-one done this yet? ...French Kiss

contains photos from Soul Boys Soul Girls Facebook page, including a couple of me :)

We'll find out next season ;-)

Bit of a crap, generlkaised, conclusion given that the differences are both relatively small and are marginal if you add in error matgin on attitudinal reserach, especially. From this rather blythe conclusion we get all sorts of supposition etc about people who claim to be english. Actually they are just a 'bit more inclined to etc etc@ statistically. I consider myself English not British and have written that as my nationality for about 10 years or so. Will, of course be proof of this to Huge, who STILL seems to confuse criticism of the Eurozone with some sort of rabid .anti-European. Acrually, the emergence and renewal of natioal oir even more regional focussed cultures is global and a trend, after the war I suspect far more scots and welsh considered themselves British than now. Even the rise of Islam is a battle against western monmolithic secular culture. In the 70s the PLO were all sleeping together wearing flairs and drinking. In the 70s Cairo hardly had anyone in veils. The trend is away from a mss global identity...in some ways.

Don't buy it at all. Typical snout in trough hypocrite. Dodgy with his expenses, his wife and his staff. Out for as much as he could get under the banner of being a socialist, old Two Jags. Even tried to shoehorn his son into his old seat, keep the family gravy train on track. Interesting his constituency party were having none of that. Yuk. The punch WAS good though.

Absolutely gorgeous song by the..... ...Detroit Emeralds

Or for older hippies, Camel?
