Nothing wrong with it. Plays fine here.
I've checked it with Avast and Spybot malware and Spybot virus/ Trojan/ worm and none of them have found any thing
I'm glad it played on your comp'. But do you recognize the artist/title? :-)

I apologise if I've caused panic in the ranks friends, but seriously, I've just had my laptop cleansed and beautified and attempting that download sent the damn thing into overdrive. I have lost automatic password access to everything, perhaps I'm being over sensitive, but I had to press the switch off button and go through a disc check which revealed a few new problems. I didn't want you lot to have your computers screwed up as well. My missus' company employs a computer specialist who has to battle everyday against hackers, he's in despair, and we've had to battle against so many dodgy viruses that have given us real grief recently.
Malwarebytes has revealed nothing too, thats ok then, panic over, but I'm still not going to try and look at the clip again.

There's nothing wrong with that clip. It's short but then that is all they played during the documentary otherwise, if i'd a' got more lyrics then i'd have googled the lyrics and come up with the answer that way. It's a pity that M$shaft operating systems are so
fragile but that's not my fault. Use a man's operating system - use Linux.

Hi, Can someone tell me the artist name and song title (mp3 clip attached) taken from a very short segment of the Joe Meek
documentary made by Arena some years ago. Thanks.
Until further investigations have been carried out you click on this link at ones own risk.
For me the link didn't play and for others their computers were subjected to strange happenings maybe a virus....thanks for listening..the admin team alway happy to inform even if we are taken for granted most of the time....

OK in the early 1960's I was living in the Meadows and I recall two sets of bubble gum cards we collected
MARS ATTACKS
AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
Am sure they were American and there was some concern about gorey images eg soldiers impaled on spikes. Best of all each card came with a sheet of pink bubble gum as big as the card itself. Dates? 1961-63 for sure.
PS we never collected cig cards then - I just dont recall these despite heavy smokers in the family.
I remember the American Civil war Cards - they were a bicentennial commemoration. Like you say, lots of gory
pictures - impaled soldiers, soldiers under the wheels of cannons etc.....
Anyone remember transfers? I think they were a bit earlier.

I think that you'll find, that according to Einstein and his 'relatively' untested theories, if you travel faster than the speed of light, you pass through objects rather than collide with them. As my knowledge of all this extends not much further than knowing that E=MC2, whatever that means to us mere mortals, I can't comment other than the fact that I'm sure that Einstein and Stephen Hawkin were and are, probably aliens themselves sent to confuse us all, and that they've succeeded.
Nah, Einsteins theories are exceedingly well tested in experiments using particle accelerators and they say by GPS
satellites. Einsteins theory of special relativity puts an upper limit on speed for anything which has mass. As velocity approaches light speed then the relativistic mass (and this is reflected in the momentum) increases and increases
until it becomes infinite and theoretically an infinite anount of energy bwould be required to reach light speed. Thus according to Einstein you cant send any space craft or projectile at light speed (or even close to it unless it is very
light like an electron or proton). The only things known to travel faster than light are some things known as cherenkov
radiation. Not much is known about the how or why but they say that for these particles time travel backwards.
Of course not everyone subscribes to Einsteins theory of special relativity or even his general theory. There are several other competeing theories on the fringes of physics which mathematically as near as dammit reduce to
values predicted by Einsteins theory but which are radically different reality based such as the Lorentz aether theory
and variants on that for example.

That's the place! I was there for a year maybe before going to a place near the London road
island (did it become a motor factors or summat in the 80's?). Anyway, hated the place, both
of them. Was living on Summers Street until 1960 when we moved to WB.

Anyone here go to the Spiders community centre disco
on a friday nite in the late 60's/early 70's?
I remember going to the off licence and buying a litre of cider/strongbow which was drunk on the street first.
Same preparation before going in the Friary - was that on a thursday
nite?

Hi Gadge,
It was Farnborough school for girls, I think they called it "Bi lateral" in the 60s Charnwood was further along Farnborough road, "secondary modern" then across Ruddington lane even further up Farnborough road was Fairham "comprehensive" school for boys in the 60s.
Hope this has helped

Ok thanks both for the info. I was sure it was a girls school but had forgotten the name.
-
The Playhouse bar in 78 was popular with punks and new wave :-)
-
There was a school (still is I believe but now different name etc) about a quater mile from the Silverdale CC up a cycle path over the brook
and on the left hand side - was it Charnwood Girls School? I'm talking the 60's.
Thanks.
-
Ok thanks both, I had a funny feeling abt the Bamboo but wasn't sure. Yes, I too had many an expresso coffe in the Bamboo, my mates
uncle was the owner when it became Nino's - not sure if he owned it as the Bamboo though, he likely did though as I remember my mother
was a frequenter of the joint and we were friends of the family so it seems to tie up. Thanks.

Tell us where you are now?
I,m Chris Mackenzie,Finished school in 1968,for the past 19yrs living in Spain.
Anybody out there remembers Blessed Robert Widmerpool(Swimming Pool),Clifton.?
Corpus Christi,Wilford Lane.?
Yeah, I finished at Corpo' in 71. There's a few ex-pupils registered on friendsreunited and contact is
now free of charge if you want to get in touch with anyone registered on their system.

Which side of Mansfield Road was the bamboo on?
Anyone remember Nino's - about half way up on the left hand side. It was a bit rough in the early seventies
but developed into a smoother joint over the years before moving into town somewhere near kings/trinity? walk.

I haven't seen Chris Chambers in years. Him and a gang of us used to go down to the Union on a friday, he was a flash so and so in his triumph herald - certainly pulled the birds.
I wasn't at Claremont but my cousin was, that's how I met Chris. I didn't know him too well, just
saw him at the Union and a few pubs.

The joke shop in question was about 10 doors up from the big community centre ,a couple of doors away from the "King fisher Chippy"
I used to work near there and got my revenge on a work colleague who was always pinching a fag out my packet if I left it on my workbench . I put some banger type things in all of them and left them there,went back 10 mins later and sure enough he was standing a couple of yards away with a smile on his face and a gasper in his gob. As it went off there was a great girly scream from his general direction and I'm p**ing myself. Only a couple of minutes later when there was another bang and girly squeel did I realise that he had pinched two HAAAAAAAAAA
Very funny. Of course you couldn't do that now. Five years inside on terrorism charges whatever.
Those days were not PC - to hell with PC!

Another regular at ABC Minors here!
Whereabouts was the trick shop, that's jogging my memory? I remember the old Children's Hospital only too well sadly. I ended up in there with two broken legs when I was a kid. Others might confirm but I think an old Children's Hospital sign adorns a conservatory wall in the Lincolnshire Poacher?
Sorry to hear abt your accident - nasty.
-
The trick shop as we called it was across the road from the metropole abt 30 yards or so down.
Stink bombs and magic stuff as I remember.
yeah, the childrens hospoital, I wound up in there after an accident in the hospital car park, we
were playing on bikes - war games with water pistols, that kind of stuff (only 10 at the time) -
fell off bike gashed leg and had 5 stitches. Used to have a smoke up the tree at the side of the car
park.

I dunno abt that but I heard that first saturday of every month there's a disco - soul nite or oldies
with DJ. It started January of this year. Wondered if it was any good and what the age group was.

Being a relative newbie here I never knew or chatted with Ann but I would still like to offer my
sincerest condolences to Andrew on the basis that we are all kindred souls.
-
Anyone know anything about the Federation Club Sherwood Rise, meets monthly. I was wondering
what age group attended the joint. Sounds interesting.
-
Went to Rock City quite a bit in the early eighties - saw Echo and the Bunny Men as have others.
Not a bad joint (then). Too old for all that palava now of course.
-
I don't remember it I'm afraid but there was a trick shop on Mansfield Road I occasionally frequented after the saturday morning matinee at the Metropole in the mid 60's. I used to visit my cousin most weekends - he lived in Mapperley Park near the childrens hospital, now there are a few stories I can tell about that place as we played on their grounds etc :-)

Anyone remember UFO jeans? lol
Were they from Birdcage? I recall they came from a shop
across the street and down a ways.
They were so popular, crazy pockets and stitching.
My fave were the light green ones.

Can anyone remember one summer on the Victoria Embankment, there was an outdoor rock concert featuring local bands, which led to the release of an album called "Castle Rock". I was about 13 and it was the first live gig I ever went to. I remember a song "first teenager on the moon" or some such.
Yeah, I went. It was either 71 or 72. Sorry but it was all a bit of a blur.
I remember enjoying it a lot though.

That clip was created using a debian linux operating system and the clip was scanned with clamav virus scanner and nothing untoward was found. That doesn't mean that one or more of the M$shaft based antivirus sytems wont come up with false positives. Heck, windows XP service pack 2? or 3? and above wont even let you download most things with bittorrent without them shouting virus and that's just by going on the file name. I'd apologise for causing anyone the frights but why should I apologise for crappy os's and there
flakey av systems? Uuse them at your own risk.
