2007-02-02 18:07:00 I hope over the next few weeks to tell you about my love and passion of Northern Soul music, I hope this is of interest both to soul fans and none soul fans.When did I first fall in love with soul music? that is a question that I can?t really answer as I believe my passion for it started when I was to young to realise it my first ever memory of soul music affecting me was in 1967 when I was just 10 years old, I remember watching the news on TV about the death of Otis Redding and crying my eyes out why I don?t know, but I do know that that man has affected my life in such a big way. As I got older I could never get enough of his music and it is like ( I don?t really know how to explain this feeling) but the best I can say is it is like a haunting I can?t walk out of a room if his music is playing I can?t turn it of and if I am working I stop and still today Otis?s voice makes shivers go down my spine and a sadness come over me.The strange thing is I am not really a lover of slow musi...

Insurgents or Freedom Fighters
2007-02-01 12:54:00 The US has issued the latest in a series of warnings to Iran, telling Tehran to stop helping Iraqi militants make lethal bombs to attack US troops. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said US forces had detained several Iranians suspected of providing weapons technology to Shia insurgents. They in fact have only caught 5 so is this down to Iran’s government or is it more likely that some Iranians dislike the fact that their neighbours have been invaded and have gone to help the Iraqi freedom fighters, the same as the British helped the French in WWII.I would have thought that the more the US makes warnings and threats to Iran the more Iranians will worry about their own country being invaded and the more likely they are to think we have to go to Iraq and damage them as much as we can before they come across the border.Why do America never stop and think if this happened to them if they got invaded would we not fight for freedom or would they wave flags in the street as they tho...

Well we get plenty of these and normally it is from scammers saying they will pay via western union and we will get a email from western union stating they have the money on hold, well western union don’t work that way.Anyway we replied with the normal response and told them we were happy to deal this way but nothing would be sent until we had the money in our hands.To my shock the next day they asked for the details were to send it.The following day a email with the details how to collect the money this is where the Jobs Wort h comes in.We go to the bank to get the money as always take more than enough ID when I do anything like this it was made out to my wife’s name as she has more IDs than me.So we showed the IDs required by MoneyGram but this was not good enough for Mr Jobs worth behind the counter he said he required postal ID which my wife has but to our o...

Hey Joe HaHaHa
2007-01-22 08:04:00 You may be unaware that calling out Hey Joe or saying things like hey man in a stupid American voice is against the law, but it is because it is racist.Racism is calling people names or treating them different because of their race or colour of their skin. So as you don’t shout Hey Joe at Each other and only at people of a different race it means it is a racist shout and is against anti racism laws.This law applies to the Philippines as because the Philippines signed up to the United Nations and it is against UN law and if someone brought it against you would hold a prison term.Even with out the law the fact is Filipino’s that shouts insults are costing the Philippines 4,500,000,000,000 peso that’s $93billion US Dollars a year in lost tourist and lost investment.This is the amount tourist spend in Thailand every year and they go back to Thailand every year same could happen here but people don’t come back because of your racist shouts.This is 4.5 trillion peso works out at 6...
