AKA winning šŸ’Ŗ

Get on the factor 70 mate. I’ve got skin like corned beef and it’s a revelation!

    Old-Dutch

    yes mate!. im 5 minutes from old leigh been here for about 7 years after moving from north chingford.. still with jo.. we are getting married next june. poor cow. god bless her. i’ve had a near brush with death but the prog pulled me through!

    Dan

    oih my gawd.. how could i forget you dan!.. great to hear from you my prog brother..

    Talking of near death experiances..

    I remember there was a programme on radio one years ago about life changing records.. they interviewed this bloke about this track. ..

    he was in a coma following a bad car accident… he’s mates were playing tapes to him while he was in that coma…

    when he woke he said that he had to live, to stay alive because of this record . While he slept in an induced coma he said he had to wake up and survive for this track . the breakdown at 4mins 50n seconds gave him the will to live..

    ''i’ve got to stay alive" for this.

    No bongos. No pinky and perky. No tucker and tate. No epping forest country club piss.

              My dad was best mates with Allan Wells at school.

              Hope you’re on the mend mate. Sounds like you’ve had a pretty tough time of it.

                  Fucking visceral mate.

                  Le Bateau was ace, basically a basement in a large inner city terrace house.

                  for some reason i always think of this forum, the old bedrock one anyway, when i hear this. ..

                  [

                  in my minds eye.. i imagine myself in 32 inch waist duffer of st george cordrouys and hope and glory polo shirt tripping the light fantastique with my muckers on here at sasha’s tyrant night..

                  here lads… do u remember that time around 2014 when me and jo were in ibiza early october sort of time on a fucking all inclusive saga holiday??..anyway Diggers offered me free tickets and drinks to his closing night ??.. i asked him when he was on and he said 4am..

                  I havent been clubbing since 2004 or indeed, left leigh on sea during daylight hours for many years and been off the kibble .. so diggers generous invitation caught me off guard, Jo said we could go if i stayed off the tackle. that was that then.

                  thank you mate.. for some reason this was the first place i thought off when i got the all clear. i mean , i’ve got a few mates still alive and i’m on other forums football etc..

                  but prog binds us. it’s in our bone marrow. a brotherhood to the solar plexius.

                    Lads.. Great Cyrus sample kiicking in at 5 mins 30 secs from ā€˜The warriors’ .. ā€˜Can you dig it’.

                    do you remenber ā€˜Muzik’ magazine and pezz from 3 beat records progressive house reviews.. anyway picked this up onthe back of that..

                      EraserOfLove but prog binds us

                      I think the spirit of house binds us.

                      Prog is part of that, but we’re a broad church, and the more chats we have I get the impression we’re all just house geeks (in one genre or the other)

                        EraserOfLove oh my good gawd smalls…

                        i love that tune more than the deserts love the rain!

                        thank you mate.. means a lot…

                        A hall of famer!

                          When i thought i was dying i thought about god for about 2 minutes in hospital..

                          I dont knock people who find comfort, love , companionship and solace in god. Its very easy to sneer at christian peoples who worship and tithe. If they beleive in a higher power as they understand it to be . good on them . Let them love and tarry awhile in a community that accepts them for what they are. Human beings with all our imperfections and faults.

                          i tried it for a couple of years , lifeline community church., Dagenham when i was bang on the gear in the wilderness years and my kid was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and the marriage was breaking up .. I was on good money as a reinsurance broker at lloyds of london but miserable as shit..

                          I never got the hang of it. (god) . when i went to church i found it was for a body of people who didn’t quite fit in with life and societal norms. they needed to belong and feel loved. Poor damaged souls craving acceptance and a meaning in life, And church gave them that. Let them beleive , love and worship without prejudice .

                          If people need to fill that black hole with booze, food, drugs, porn , god or fucking QPR let them. Go with god or not, but dont judge nor sneer at their chosen rack and pinion to navigate their own lives.

                          After all .. Who made the us the Roland Freisler of peoples desire and search for something greater than the asphalt jungle we reside in 24/7?.

                          i wish i had that spirtual farraday cage.. but i never did.. all i wanted to to do was do gear, listen to prog and be humbled at the feet of a cuckold queen while she took a 9 inch schlong in front of my very eyes.

                          ecstasy pills circa ’89 to ’92 were the equivalent to Andy Warhol’s golden telephone which he claimed gave him a direct line to god.

                          Trouble with that is once your have opened the doors of perception to the palace of wisdom and awoken the pineal gland to touch god’s Face , theres nowhere else to go.

                          All your left with is the mundane trappings of everyday life. The tatty trinkets and paltry baubles of our seemingly endless existence..

                          What are we left with??..
                          Paddy McGuinness on daytime quiz shows with a ronald mortensen pastel jumper slung over his shoulders and adverts targeting pensioners to sell their wedding rings and medals so they can feed themselves with mechanically recoverd offal and expired spam.

                          A Swindle most foul.

                            This famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that ā€œProgressive House Musicā€ is the most beautiful.

                            I concur.

                            its lovely here dutch in leigh on sea.. although i stopped going to pubs about 3 years ago when i bought a phillips pro draft machineand the cancer growth on my face looked like Marcus Brigstocke. Luckily its reduced to just a scar after all my ops.

                              if anything the scar on my mush looks like eddie richardson has given me the bone handle chiv for slighting him in mixed company.
