    Gloria was one of the strippers Shoney. I was working in construction back then and we all used to go there on a Friday afternoon.

    I don't remember 'panama', but there were lots like that around there, the Ungi family for one.

    She had big boobs!

    Deprived of its unique dockland waters Liverpool
    becomes a Venice without canals, just another city, no
    longer of special interest to anyone, least of all the
    tourist. Would we visit a modernised Venice of filled in
    canals to view its modern museum describing
    how it once was?

    Just after I started doing discos for the Race Relations Council they decided to have an ethnic awareness week (although I'm sure it wasn't called that in those days). One night we all went to the West Indian Club and had salt fish and other delicacies, another night was the Chinese club, and we also visited the Ibo and the Yoruba clubs. It was quite an interesting week, as the Ibo (who always seemed to wear suits and ties) welcomed the Yoruba (who wore colourful flowing robes) into their club, and vice versa.

    I used to go to Yoruba mid week and found myself in the Ibo and The Domino Club a couple of times.

    Weekends we would go to Baileys and Penny Farthing.

    Dont remeber the eighties much was drunk for most of it.
