  1. Most people will not have heard of Mike Farris, but he is a Grammy Winning blues/gospel singer with an amazing voice from Tennessee USA. Ashington Town Council have booked him to play at  The White House Unique Social Club on Thursday 20th. October. Not many tickets left, but if you like music then this will be very special. Check out this video to see what he is all about.

     

  2. Take a look and listen to the latest song/video from Ulsterman - FOY VANCE. Taken from his new album "The wild swans on the lake", executive producer = Elton John and released on Ed Sheeren's label. Check out his web-site for more info and check out YouTube for more videos. This man is something special.

     

     

  3. Thanks for all the Birthday Wishes. Just one comment for my old pal Eggy - you are slightly pre-mature with your calculation son - soixante neuf will be next July. Agreed that it is a very good golf score and one that I aspire to over 9 holes at The Village.

  4. Derek Firth is on his death bed and knows the end is near. His nurse, his wife, his daughter and 2 sons are with him at his home in London. 

    He asks for 2 independent witnesses to be present and a camcorder be in place to record his last wishes. When all is ready he begins to speak:

    "My son, Bernie, I want you to take the Mayfair houses."

    "My daughter, Sybil, you take the apartments over in the East end."

    "My son, Jamie, I want you to take the offices over in the City."

    "Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings on the banks of the Thames ."

    The nurse and witnesses are blown away. They did not realise the extent of his holdings.

    As Derek slips away, the nurse says to his wife, "Mrs. Firth , my deepest condolences. 

    Your husband must have been such a hard-working and wonderful man to have accumulated all this property¦...

    "Property?", she replies. "The bugger had a window cleaning round."

  5. Quite simple, the Band was put together for one special performance at the 1987 Grammys.

    If you look at the musicians behind the featured, front-line singers & players you'll see the likes of Ry Cooder.

  6. Nice analysis Eggy.

    My heart hopes you're wrong but my head says you are probably right.

    Those 2 extra points last night might have made all the difference.

    Getting anything at Anfield will be difficult, but irony sometimes plays a big part in such sporting events, with Rafa returning to Scouseland.

    Mathematically there is still hope and while there's still hope there's still a possibility.

  7. GOTTA PEE   

    Two women friends had gone for a girls' night out. Both were very faithful and loving wives, however 
    They had gotten over-enthusiastic on the Bacardi Breezers. 

    Incredibly drunk and walking home they needed to Pee, so they stopped in the cemetery. 

    One of them had nothing to wipe with so she thought She would take off her panties and use them. 

    Her friend however was wearing a rather expensive Pair of panties and did not want to ruin them. 

    She was lucky enough to squat down next to a grave That had a wreath with a ribbon on it, so she Proceeded to wipe with that. 

    After the girls did their business, they proceeded to Go home. 

    The next day, the husband of one of the women was concerned that his normally sweet and innocent wife was still in bed hung over, so he phoned the other husband and said: "These girl nights have got to stop! I'm starting to suspect the worst. My wife came home with no panties!!" 

    "That's nothing," said the other husband, "Mine came back with a card stuck to her arse that said...... 

    'From all of us at the Fire Station. We'll never forget you.' "

  8. Nice one Malcolm, I'd seen that on Facebook just the other day.

     

    Try this little 3 songs (from the recently released CD), acoustic concert from Lake Street Dive. The singer is Rachel Price and she is, in my opinion quite special.

     

     

  9. It's not just in Sport that there are countless experts & pundits being paid to spout drivel, you are spot on Eggy.

    My pet hate is the BBC News Room, when the News at 6pm or 10pm starts. That News Room behind the News Presenter is absolutely  massive and all those empty desks. How come they need so much space, how come they need so many desks, how come they need so many reporters to cover the news. Years ago, there was Reuters who had journalists around the world and BBC & ITV would use the Reuters report to tell the nation that something had occurred in some far flung place that really doesn't concern us. 

  10. I believe this photo to be from The Market Place Club (or perhaps The Top Club), probably late 1940's/early 1950's. It captures the boys making their own entertainment with a sing-a-long. That's my Dad (Stan Kidd) on the right of the quartet, giving his all.

    Did the pubs & clubs shout last orders at 10pm in those days?

    You can also see my Grandad Kidd (known to one and all as Sep) in the bottom left corner of the photo.

     

    Can anyone else put a name to any of the others in the photo?

  11. Saw this shop the other day called "Islamic Books & Souvenirs" so decided to have a look inside, almost immediately two men dressed in dresses came over and asked what I wanted, I said 'Do you have a copy of the book on Great Britain's policy regarding deportation of immigrants? One of the gentlemen said, "F**k off get out and never come back", I said "yes, that's the one, how much?"
