  1. Hi Mate! Hey there Pete! Long time no speak! Anyway, the thing is, I was in my local record shop and they had this neat little CD package With a pop-up Wigan casino inside! AND you can lift the roof off and see inside! The records are good too, although you'll probably have most of them. If you are interested it's Wigan Casino Soul Club 30 years of Northern Soul Memories 1973-2003 The label is Fabulous and its FBUBX101 Hope everything is good with you, Charles
  2. In a zoo in California , a mother tiger gave birth to a rare set of triplet tiger cubs. Unfortunately,due to complications in the pregnancy, the cubs were born prematurely and due to their tiny size, they died shortly after birth. The mother tiger after recovering from the delivery, suddenly started to decline in health, although physically she was fine. The veterinarians felt that the loss of her litter had caused the tigress to fall into a depression. The doctors decided that if the tigress cou! ld surrogate another mother's cubs, perhaps she would improve. After checking with many other z
  3. Now that brings back memories! Don't recall the windmill, but I so remember that train journey - I thought it was magic then and watching it again it's still magic! Good find Mick!
  4. Hah! OK, OK, what about when TV used to shut down in the evening after children's TV ended and before grown up TV began! There'd be revolution if they did that nowadays!
  5. Well, how about being able to buy a single woody at the corner shop - you definitely don't see that any more!
  6. Frozen jubblies AND those little penny balckcurrant lollipops........................I think Mivvis have disappeared as well AND Lyons Maid lollies and ice cream. And Spangles - they've gone too!
  7. Suzuki, have a great one and come read the forums again!
  8. Hmm, I wish I could think of a way to argue with that, but it feels more and more as if that's exactly how it is. !tony! At least I found out why this is on the site!
  9. OK Poohbear, I get the picture, best part of 2 million on jollies and a couple of grand for the actual picture of the statue that they'll post in Slab Square! Denshaw - Is this a Biiig envelope - I've never seen that much money but I inagine it's a bit of a bundle!
  10. I'd heard about this but it's great to see it in print. I don't think we have a single politician, of any colour, with the courage to stand up and be counted in this way. I do think this is what most of us ordinary citizens wish someone would say! Good on you Aussies for pointing the way!
  11. Why do these things always run in at 2 million quid? COuldn't they do somethign with two hundred thousand ans spend the rest on something more immediately relevant - as poohbear suggested?
  12. Check out Lonely Boy by the Elgins! Brill! In fact if you want to hear Motown in the Raw check out the double CD that it's on - I feel fine! Hmm, is that an advert?
  13. I own up - I missed loads! Be patient and watch the whole thing - I had to do it twice to get everything - a real senior citizen moment! http://www.todaysbigthing.com/2009/02/17
  14. She sounds a bit like Minnie Mouse on nitrous Oxide! But, hey, ten out of ten for energy!
  15. I think her voice might have gone off a little, but it is great to see a legend strutting her stuff!
  16. Thank you very much! He may even know what became of some of my more elusive old mates!
  17. Yes! It's on the i-player! I love the first track with the Supremes! I guess the Top-of-the-Pops audience back then hadn't clicked with the idea that you dance in time to the music!
  18. Get him to tell you everything he can remember about the Hippo - better still get him to sign up and tell us himself!
  19. bu99er - I've only just got in! I'll have to see if it's on the BBC I player! Thanks for the tip though - I'd never have known otherwise!
  20. Sorry - he's my imaginary friend syd, so that I don't feel quite so alone................
  21. OK, this is the thing. This guy drinks in our local and he gets off with, like, all the women - even the dead ones, while I sit in the corner doing me billy-no-mates thing with me pal Syd. What I want to know is this - what's he got that I haven't? Why do women find him irresistable?
  22. Identical twins do that - and if one breaks a leg, the other one gets hopping mad.
