I'll never ever forget when Shelleys painted the dance floor red and it was still wet when people were dancing on it.
Tiffany's....met the wife there used to sit on the balcony watching the fighting The Place...only club I ever had sex in.(says it all really doesn't it) Stoke Town Hall (kings hall) with Bruno Brookes (and his cigar) Longton Town Hall with my mate Trevor doing the disco. Frankie Valli doing The Night shook the town centre. Meir Youth Club Gets a shout as it's where I first heard Northern Soul Heavy steam Machine ..great rope lights on the ceiling Top Rank ...Saturday mornings under 18s the Saturday night borrow big brothers jacket and tie for over 18s. Maxims.. Top of the World Stafford...Saturday Night Fever Dance floor, pity you could only get 20 people on it. Roman Candle...How they got away with keeping Burslem awake all night is beyond me, great club. Queens at Basford ...What can one say...madness pure madness ...loved it. Teddy's at Trentham Gardens ..A bigger Queens really ...loved it.
Yup sorry to say I've danced in pretty much every club in Stoke-on-Trent we even had a school disco at dinner time at junior school this was the first record I danced to.

Fairly renowned scene. Inshallah. I think you've been watching Taken and taken it a bit too literally mate . I never came across anything so gross in all my time out there . I've never heard anyone mention it either . That's not to say it doesn't go on in Africa and I wouldn't put anything past the Saudi's but the UAE is very civilised in that regard . It's far from perfect , if you fuck about over there it can be very serious , but I think you have this one all wrong . Have you been out there ? I doubt you'd be suggesting this sort of shit if you had .

I'm afraid tolerance goes out my funkin window when you start wading in to other people's conversations with "ooh... don't speak to him Shirley" comments . and it's intolerance , buttonhead . And you're complaining about dropping standards ....

Telling people who they should and shouldn't speak to - as though it's any business of yours - then playing the intolerance card. Get your own house in order first, yeah?

Not really into people whose world view comes from YouTube, Google , online news and the internet . You have to get out there at some point . See for yourself . I've been lucky in that regard I suppose i've seen a lot of this planet .....christ I sound like Mumf now ....
