denshaw 2,872 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Benjamin, time to go on a summer holiday and find yourself a living doll, preferably one with lucky lips. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie 39 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Share Posted January 21, 2015 Benjamin, I knew it, you are a fan. What makes me cringe after all these years performing he still can't dance, maybe you should have introduced him to Locarno's? 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,600 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Don't know about the lovely Cliff R, but I can still dance - only yesterday I was doing Agadoo and the Birdie song at the local toddler group. We know how to have fun out here in the Fens. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,159 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Been enjoying reading some of these older threads again..........this one ''Tribal Neighbourhoods''' i found interesting i reckon my age group (born 1945) missed the real 'Tribal' troubles that were mainly in the 50s with a long gap to the 80s....and my real times were 60s and 70s....never saw any bother down Locarno sherwood rooms or the Palais...we were only there for the girls and a Dance...... However in 1964 whilst lodging at Mauds in Coalville i used to visit a miners club every friday night called the West end club'' (think still open). where it seemed to be a rule that just before 10 pm a chair would fly thru the air and a full scale ruckus would kick off....not being one to join in i usually grabbed my Pint and the lass i was dancing with and got under the nearest table.....lol happy friday nights in good old Coalville........ 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,292 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 That sounds like some of the pubs I used to drink in. As you were going in the door someone was coming out via the window. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MargieH 7,600 Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 I was only doing it for the toddlers! These days I just jive with a chair in the house when no one looking (or do the twist) before collapsing exhausted into a chair 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DJ360 6,730 Posted December 19, 2020 Report Share Posted December 19, 2020 I recall down the 360.. around 1969 or thereabouts.. we suddenly had an influx of lads from somewhere 'a bit rough'. Hendon Rise rings a bell but I'm no longer sure. As I recall their club was closed for some reason. Anyway...later that night one of those lads hit a girl. Surprisingly.. that wasn't allowed in the 360..even back then.. So.. the villain was ejected in 'short order', after which all hell let loose. Yours truly.. never a good fighter.. was reluctantly involved as I tried to stop two idiots from killing Picko. I ended up going head first and backwards down three flights of stairs before the big lump on top of me ..who I'll aways recall..was wearing a cheap purple 'choker' with an even bigger cheaper ring on it, decided to 'nut' me. Being already a bit peeved by hitting my head on the stair posts.. I managed to whack the side of his head a couple of times but ended up on the floor in the foyer being used as a football by several morons. I had a couple of broken teeth. My brand new blue corduroy shirt was in ribbons. My contacts were somewhere up in my skull next to my ears... Oh! the joys of youth.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
