Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

@ LegalEagle-ish - what type of mutt do you own?

@Ladymuck - Grovel, grovel. Didn't mean to offend too much. I meant ignorant as not knowing as supposed to not wanting to know! Subtle but definite difference in my books. Sorry dear!... :) @ Woof - As is the way of these things, if it takes off, that particular room will no doubt be full of ISMs masquerading as Lonely Hearts! *tsk*

It recently occurred to me that there's so much lurve in these virtual rooms that the EDF could probably bear the weight of another forum heading called WLTM (Would Like To Meet - for you ignorant Smug Marrieds out there...) It'd keep everybody happy. The Love Grinches wouldn't have to wade through the endless unrequited lurve posts (unless they wanted to) and the Unrequited Lovers would know exactly where they could go to find The One. Might get some new advertisers/ sponsors too... Anyway, what do you think? Admin, keep an eye on the thread :) PS - I would have posted this under the About This Forum header but since no one has been in there since December 11th, the heating hasn't been on so it's freezing!

Yep, with Barry Gibb is the all-time tune. Anyone want to join me for a singalong?

Here's me. I just don't know what to do with myself today. So happy, the forum's back :)

@*Bob* - 'kicked me in the slats' - now that's made me chortle hard, hehe. Oh what will i do with my fingers without this surreal forum for the next two weeks? As for it being a modern world, tis true and i wouldn't have it any other way. I mean, where would we be without the Internets and stuff? :)

It was *Bob*. Some1ne obviously has all the subtlety of a wet brick. And they say chivalry is dead, eh.. *tsk*

Hey EMC, nice pic. You're quite the number one stunner. Why are you single?

In my experience the first sign of a publisher in trouble begins with basic distribution problems. Advertisers will get their copies but few others will. Any 'decent' mag worth its pagination will be ABC'd. If it isn't then as a publisher you can say what you like...

Hmm, there's so much sexual tension on this thread, let's just say that the next drink up is going to be interesting...

Unable to post earlier, hence the delay... @LM, me ma is... well, let's just say they speak faster than they think! As for 'Sir' Dennis the quality of his voice is in a class all by itself. @Mscrawthew, all of those tunes and more. I think one of the lil Stunts was as a result of Ms Mark or possibly Jill Scott's Words and Sounds Volume I. Hey no one's mentioned one of my quiet faves Johnny Osbourne's Ice Cream Love. Check the chorus: 'Because my love is warmer than a chocolate fudge.' And there my epitaph is written!

@LM, My Father is from Jamaica and mum's from South America, so the music is my cultural inheritance. I remember as a child of six their all night blues parties in Camberwell. They had a party once a month and it was all about tunes, curry goat and roti and my siblings and I running around the 'big people' and staying up way too late. A great way to grow up. As I got older i kept up with contemporary music but never lost the love for the music and artist i first heard. I nabbed all my dad's old skool records and have about 5,000 or so LPs and 7"s from the era. I had to WWF him into the ground as he didn't let them go without a struggle! Naw, i'm sure i'll have the same 'conversation' with my kids when the time comes. Curerntly listening to Studio One's Oldies But Goodies produced by C. S Dodd and engineered by Sylvan Morris featuring Alton & Eddy, Higgs & Wilson, the Wailers, The Clarendonians, Delroy wilson, Skatalites, Bob Andy, Ken Boothe. The only way to wake up on a Sunday! AS for today's reggae, all a bit too formulaic for me. There are a few standout artists with a few memorable tracks but at this time in the morning names escape me.... PS - don't forget The Heptones

Ladymuck, we are on the same page, dancing to the same riddim. The list is truly endless. The Coxsone/ Studio 1 era spawned a generation of peerless vocalists that the world will never see the like of again. In truth it's an immense and largely unreported slice of the UK's contemporary musical history. But the truth will out! RANT OVER So how did you get bitten by the bug?

Hey L-ish, apologies on this digression but did you ever get that job that you went for a few months back. Sorry, I've been a bit out of the EDF loop as i've been cracking the whip on the workers recently.... As for Vosene check out any one of those tardis-like 24/7 365 shops on Rye Lane, they'll probably have an original bottle from way back when. Alternatively try here. :)
