Apropos of nothing, did you know that "Twirlies" is what bus drivers and tube staff call the elderly folk who use their free bus/travel passes. They tend to arive or board at 9:25 (the entitlement starts at 9:30) and ask "Am I twirly?"

:rolleyes: Groan.

I can't tick the poll as i can only come out to play twice over the weekend. :rolleyes: I can't decide between Hipsters, Twyford, Funky Lush and Muswell Hill!
Why is there too much choice this weekend and hardly any next!
Although this looks good for the 15th!

My only definite date this weekend is for Saturday night in Reading, a freestyle for Pzazz. A pity this clashes with Twyford, just 5 miles up the road.
Hopefully Funky Lush on Sunday - if I'm given permission to go...

Anybody opting to watch a certain football match Sunday pm?

OK, I didn't specifically mention WCS, as there will no doubt be a collection of different styles there, but there will definitely be plenty of WCSable music at Pzazz, especially as it's the dance of choice for the people that are hosting it.

Ah! Can you explain exactly what it is and where it is. I heard you mention it on Monday but I had assumed it was another MJ venue you were DJing at.

Ok, I dont listen :blush:

Sheepman
5th-July-2006, 02:51 PM
Ah! Can you explain exactly what it is and where it is. It's at Winnersh Community Centre, New Road, Sindlesham, RG41 5DU, 8pm to 11:45 on Saturday the 8th, £8 on the door £6 in advance, to reserve a place email joy@tickell.freeserve.co.uk or call Joy on 0118 947 0382.
The description goes on to say "great dance floor - plenty of parking - good bar prices"

The precise mix of music will depend on who is there and what they want, I'm told that at previous events the swing & MJ stopped for a few minutes for a couple of ballroom tracks.

HTH.

Hmm, directions aren't Cruella's strong point - she struggled to give me directions to her own house last weekend, but they probably would have been a bit better if Taz had managed to her left and rights round the right way!:rofl:

So was that the second turning on the left or the third on the right? and how about at the roundabout - straight over??

Car sharing on the long drive to London is one solution. If you fancy Hipsters tonight and can be at M1 Junc 14 at 7.30, Cruella and I will be going down. You do have to love to drive though, cos we all like to be passengers sometimes.....

The drive can be a huge laugh, we really know how to steam up the windows and I even stalled the car once after a completely unrepeatable story came out.

As I said, it was completely UNREPEATABLE. :innocent:

PM me if you want to Join in LW, you are most welcome.

ZW:flower:

STOP PRESS: Marc Forster is teaching AND DJing at Chesham tonight....Which means the freestyle will start at 9.30PM on the nail. And if it doesn't start on time - I think the DJ will be having strong words with the teacher :angry:

Well, I went to Hipsters last night and I have to say I wasnt all that inspired.

The fact that I was tired after trying to cram as much into my week back as possible probably affected my mood but I found last night to be totally uninspiring.

The music John Brett played was, IMO, awful. Up unitl 12:20 there were so many stock MJ songs in there. I guess that is to be expected as Hipsters is pretty much just a normal MJ night these days but I was very very disspointed with the music. There were 3 tracks that I havnt heard everywhere else a million times. Other than that they were all pretty much standard.

He even played "Vem Vet" which is pretty much as standard as they come!! Of course, people may have requested it. I will never know :rolleyes:

Given the last 2 times I have been and not enjoyed the night along with, like fletch, a feeling of apprehension about parking my car in that car park I dont think I will go again for some time.

I could tell you weren't into it, you seemed to be hiding out side most of the night, or was that just when you seen me coming.:wink:

I love Jon bretts music he played at least 3 mowtown tracks for me, but I do know I am in the minority,:blush: I am happy with just one to get it out of my system.:flower:

As I was sat there waiting to go last night I had a little rised smile. A couple of ladies came walking past me on their way out just after JB had started playing "A little late night swing". One said to the other "Oh, NOW he starts playing good music".

Thank you Bex for putting on a brilliant night (and one handed - not a Bill in sight)

Thank you all for your amazing dances (too many to mention) I had an absolute ball :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

It had all the ingrediants - including lots of the social bits (chatting if the foyer) seeing Ray & Jane (Daisy) fantastic (saying goodbye to R & J :tears: not so good) - and a special thanks to UP for driving :hug:

I really enjoyed Twford too. I love that floor :drool: Nice and fast.

The bar was nice with the cans of coke and things and it wasn't too hot. Still very warm but given the state of the weather everything that could be done was done from what I could see.
The music was ok. A number of good tracks.

For me it was the company. So many great people there.

So many great dancers and such a even split between men and women, it really made for a special night... eight shirts!!

The good men all seemed to come out of hibernation this weekend! Both Hipsters and Twyford had an abundance of talent. Why can't it be that way every weekend! :D

What a night

Sounds like I missed a fabulous evening :sad: :tears:

There I was, covered in paint, after an exhausting day up and down a ladder, painting my sisters house. I was so tired, I almost fell asleep in the middle of eating! :sick:

Still, she'd do the same for me! :hug:

Really needs it's own thread - What a night
By far the best night since Southport and with the exception of finishing at midnight:sad: certainly compares with the best of the best

Aww thanks Minnie :blush: , but special thanks goes to Under Par & Mrs Par for helping me set up and pack away :flower: Also, to Murphy who's a little star as always.

I had a great night too, although it was a shame that Billco wasn't there :sad: Some absolutely amazing dancers there as always, a real pleasure to watch and dance with :worthy:

For those of you who missed out on Pink Martini ... you can see a few images here (http://homepage.mac.com/enjoylife/PMinprison/) ... from where they performed in the moat at the Tower of London ... or as they kept referring to it ... in prison.

Heard it was a fab concert- shame I missed it
However I did have fun at Twyford though with all the yummy dancers there.

I have to say I agree - have had a huge :D on my face ever since (and that is even in spite of not enjoying the music particularly, so it must have been good)


Thank you all for your amazing dances (too many to mention) I had an absolute ball :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:
It had all the ingrediants

:yeah:
Only a few of the usual suspects were missing (thankfully).


(BTW it was about equal numbers male/female I am sure that helped + we had 3 of our best girlie leads their - Sparkles, Angel & Taz)

Thank you for the compliment, Minnie, but I can't take my share of the glory this time - I think this has been the only freestyle event ever that I have been to and not danced as a lead once all night! I felt a bit :blush: by that for a while, but because the numbers were so even it looked to me like everyone was getting lots of dances, so I indend to just enjoy the memory of such a fab night!

Can't wait for the next one!!

Had a fantastic night in Glasgow... dropped in there on Saturday evening during my Scottish Adventure Holiday Week, to see all our lovely Northern Friends.. :flower: :flower:

Great people, fab music and loads and loads of fun and laughs.. :worthy: :kiss:

It was lovely to catch up with all those nice people I met at the BFG earlier this year and to make some new friends too...:flower: many thanks to all of you for making me feel so welcome.. :flower: :flower: :flower: :flower: :love:

Only wish Scotland was a little bit closer.... :drool:

I guess that is to be expected as Hipsters is pretty much just a normal MJ night these days but I was very very disspointed with the music.

I dont like quoting myself that often but I would like to retract the above statement as I dont think it's very fair.

Rather than Hipsters becoming a standard MJ night, I think it is more of a case of me developing an ever more demanding nature :blush:
Its unfair to label Hipsters as I did above.
