Enjoy the UB40 concert Davy. The amount of times iv'e seen them live over the years is beyond the fingers and toes. Although there are two UB40 bands now since Ali Campbell and two others from the original UB40 split a few years ago. The two bands still play the blend of reggae they always played but its just not the same as it was.

I once had the privilege, to go back stage and sing one of my own reggae songs with them with a buddy of mine who was a regular VIP of theirs. was a great night and they were a great bunch of lads to have a laugh with. They remained somewhat social with people regardless of wealth or success.

Got nothing bar a gift card or 2 but my daughter got lots of presents and that was the most important thing on Xmas Day for me.

Half the club shop, Dirty Leeds Uncut Book by Rob Endeacott, Ronnie O’Sullivan Autobiography, Selection Box and the other half of the club shop.

Sounds like Mr Russell got the best present of the lot, nice one pal :thumbup:

Agreed NW. My youngest grandchild is 15, I do miss the sheer magic of Christmas for a 5 or 6 year old!

My daughter and boyfriend came over this afternoon, and I was presented with one of the best presents ever. A framed Leeds United badge cut into steel.

I asked where they had purchased it from, and my daughters boyfriend announced he had made it at work. I was, and still am, absolutely speechless and a bit emotional.

Apparently a lot of this was done freehand Dave, with the aid of a template obviously. As as you know he’s very talented at what he does, but I was stunned with the quality of his work.
