Hi Paul

Cheers mate! Ok I know it - I thought for a minute it was some Northern monster that I'd manged to miss! Well, actually - if you were palying it it is a Northern Monster that I managed to miss!

Who the F did Duelling Banjos and is is on a comp anywhere?

Mason Williams is in and that reminds me of one I haven't played for years! Touch of Velevet, Sting of Brass - Mood Mosaic - so now I have another one as well!

Is it on anything I can get hold of?

Oops - thank you Ayup - but it was late, I was tired! I really wanted to type: It's a shame - The Spinners. They were the Detroit Spinners before being the Spinners on Motown but I don't know if they were also the famous Detroit Spinners afterwards. Do you know? Craig will, or Pete or Ian.

I was in the record shop yesterday - this is true of a lot of my yesterdays. In the early seventies I used to buy my records for the Penny from the record shop in the basement of the rediffusion shop. The staff all used to come up to the Penny. Anyway, I bought a Kent compilation called Northern Monsters (it is very good) that opens with an insrumental called 'Double Cooking' by the chequerboard Squares. The sleeve notes for this track say: If ever there's a 'can instrumentals have soul' debate.................and I thought well of course they can there's so and so.........and so on. Th

Chris - if you text me on ************ I'll send you Ron's mobile number.

Just posted you a note via yahoo.................. Sex is what I wanted to do to you for years, but you were so scary I kept giving you packets of polos instead - I think you had about two hundred packets in the DJ stand at one point!

It seems that Nottstalgia reaches right round the world! How amazing is that. I have found quite a few folks now, so while my luck is in, I'll try for these two. Ron reckons Andy Ash was definitely back in Notts at one point - after he left Ibiza. Has anyone heard from him at all? Are you out there somewhere Andy? Ian seems to have disappeared of the face of the planet - but me him and Steve Frost used to be in the Hippo every night without fail. I would have bneen best man at his wedding if I'd woken up in time! If you're out there Ian get in touch mate!

OK - tonight it's really late and I'm thinking about those days at the Hippo and one of my favourite songs back then was the Detroit Spinners - It's a shame. Loved it and the girl that used to dance with me when it was on!!

It certainly was - it is indeed Tony, manger of the Hippo in person.

I expect Tony does !laughing!

Chris - I've asked Ron (texted) if he would like me to give you a contact number............I'll let you know

Nope - but I sent him a message and he doesn't remember me either, so it works out about even. Still, we now have a manager - 2 Djs - a glass collector (me) and a barmaid - Hippo girl! Soon we really will have enough to open up the club again! Hope you had a good birthday Pat - lot's of sunshine, beer and sex but not necessarily in that order!

Spoke to Ron Attenborough last night - I'm happty to say he's in fine fettle and on top of the world! He tells me that Cog Elliott is alive, well and as dangerous as ever - Come on Cog - sign up and say hello! And, of course, Stu (Morris) and Jan can be contacted on the chatroom for the radio Stoke Soul Show on friday nights! Come on guys - you could put in an appearance here too. Finally - where is Dave Williams? Ron tells me he's getting on a bit now, but can still mix it with the best of them - Hi Dave, come and say hello!

Hang on - you're not Tony, manager Tony, are you? Now that would be something!

Is that Wendy with the red hair, or the dark?

You are taking the p! You are taking the p aren't you? This can't be true! Can this be true?

I know they're trying to find cheaper ways to mend our roads but.......... I was sat at some traffic lights today, waiting for them to change, so I could turn right, which was a bit silly cos my car was at home. Anyway, all of a sudden two workmen in their flourescent jackets appeared. One had a shovel full of tar, the other had his hands in his pockets. They both walked to a small hole in the road and the man with the shovel emptied it's contents into the hole, leaving a small steaming mound! They looked at each other, shrugged, saw that the lights were about to change and walked off. H

Thank you very much. So do they look familiar to any of you guys?

Dunno mate - I just played the records and drank the beer. Why won't it let me expand the image to full size? It says click here etc - and then bleeps when I do! So no one can really see the guys faces! While we're at it - was Parachutes - the Pretty things - a hit? I think not, but don't really know.

Does anyone know the two guys on the dance floor? I htink the one on the right was a glass collector.....

I thought we were trying to fix the virus that Craig has caught? Even though Craig can't see wat we're doing. !laughing!

Trust me on this Rob - it has teeth!
