a girl in a million  "Susie"

   I first met Susie on new years eve she thought I was arrogant and full of my own importance. To my surprise I thought   she was a  charming attractive girl. Very entertaining to talk to her knowledge of the northern soul scene was exceptional, going right back to 1974 at Wigan casino. As I listened to the people she knew and things she had seen it was apparent to me Susie had no need to tell lie's she knew the Wigan casino crowd at the time very well. We shared some good nights out together since we first met now I can confirm she is very good company . The events I went to with her where all great nights out. If we had a bad night we always had each other to talk to.

The times we spent together at first where the usual getting to know each other. We found a mutual admiration for each other she was the sort of company you dream about. The times we shared at everything we went to where special to me. Best of all we enjoyed ourselves. Life is full of surprises getting on so well with Susie was a nice surprise. The first night we went out together was to a northern soul night in Nuneaton. My ears needed syringing so all the way there I could'nt hear anything she said. But we still had a night to remember after we talked to 6.30 am as we barely knew each other. The night will stay with me as a precious memory for ever. As we realised we got on so well we started texting each other daily well at times every 10 minutes. Just friendly conversation the weather especially the snow when we first went out. Her amusement at me working outdoors while Susie sat in her nice warm office. It was all light hearted banter between 2 people who liked to talk to each other. I think in January I sent 8 text's by March it was 1100. We still txt each other most days about anything we feel like. Why put a restriction on content we don't just txt and be happy how many people can say my friend is always there for me.
 I did her a selection of CD's when we first met. It was really for an excuse to make contact. Being a male you put the records you like on it and don't bother asking what Susie likes. So when she liked most of the track's on the CD it was a pleasant surprise to me. Knowing we shared a similar taste in music oldies where the order of the day. The best night's we shared together had played oldies all night. The moral of the story if you want to see a smile on Susie's face play oldies. The photo's are mostly from the Kingshall.     The Twisted The twisted wheel allnighter was a night I will never forget. The look of happiness on Susie's face was so happy it made a good night better. Overall it was a real pleasure to go to events with her Stoke, Manchester, Blackpool, London, and Prestatyn. Bring a feeling of being 100% happy to my heart still. What life was meant to be like good times with excellent company. It was a different feeling altogether very difficult for other's to see looking at us

   We will always be friends that much I'm certain. But we will never again be the subject of rumours at every event we attend. It is like Wigan casino only happens once the time and people will never go down that road again. But for a few months in 2009 we got that many rumours started all total rubbish that's a fact. They made me laugh lots of times as some where downright stupid. Especially when some half wit told Susie's boyfriend of 10 years we must be up to something. What I never ever found out but while rumours went round about us they left others alone

   The nights Susie + I still spend together still hold a very special value to them. Nothing as changed in any of the things that made it brilliant when we first met. We still txt eachother daily the content is still varied the weather anything we like like events on the horizon. One thing that will never change if either of us feels we need support. The first person we go to is eachother of coarse neither of us as a solution to everything. But we are always there if needed a great asset to have a friend who will never turn there back on you.  Not as many people as you might think. But at times if I wanted advice and felt Susie could help no matter what the problem was she without doubt is the first person I would ask. A understanding we both share of eachother is very important to trust the deepest secrets.                                                                      
 For some unknown reason we have never had any difficulties talking to eachother about anything that we like. If you feel what your saying stays strictly confidential you no longer stay hesitant. A great many things where not thought about in advance but just seemed to crop up in conversation. When someone is cross questioning you about things your reluctant what you say. But I make no stipulation on what she tells me I feel the same rule  applies to anything that is said by either of us. Totally free conversation say it as it's a valid thing at that time. I really enjoy our talk's as Susie seems to understand me more than almost anybody. But life when your down has a very nasty habit of doing it's best to make it worse.

Susie's looking goodme, Susie, and friends
