Whether you're young or not so
young, Stoke has plenty going on.
It may not have all the glamorous

Come on, Russ!
It's another hit from Mud for
all you love tigers out there.

And that's neat, that's

Bringing the curtain down on
another Purple Onion Saturday.
The house

Come on, bastard!
Shhh!

'we've had the
miners' strikes'
"The people of this
country deserve leadership. "
'Two general elections
in the same year'
What's this? Your
job or a bloody hobby?
Another grand weekend
by the look of things.
You wouldn't believe it.
I'll tell you, whatever they're
serving in that Purple Onion,
it's not doing you any good.
Joe.
He doesn't love
you the way I do
Monica. Brendan. How are you
today? A bit tired, you know.
You work too hard, you should
rest more in your condition.
Chance would
be a fine thing.
Wait till I show you,
Tom Jones, new Vegas look.
Oh, he's sexy.
D'you know in Vegas, the women
are throwing their panties at him?
Well, he could have mine any
time, all he needs do is ask.
I saw the face,
the face of a loser
I saw the face, the face of
Now, Paddy, blown up
anywhere nice lately?
Now, Bobby, you know I'm
not into that sort of thing.
Nah, that'd be some other
Irish bastard, I suppose.
Do you know owt
about sheepskin coats?
Sheepskin coats?
You know, like what sheep
Cos some thieving
turd's been in my lock-up
and been off with a whole
f***ing rail of them.
Me? You're thinking me?
I know you, bog trotter. I know you.
Always after what's not your own.
If I ever find
out who did do it
Two tins of undercoat,
a dozen bog rolls
Spuds.
Now, there's a thing
of beauty. 12.00, Joe.
She's out of my league.
Not at all. Don't be
daft, she's gorgeous.
That's your
problem, isn't it?
Why wouldn't you be good
enough for the likes of her?
It's all about having
a bit of self-belief.
A fine looking fella like you.
If you don't ask, you get nothing.
Joe!
Is this it?
Kim Weston, she's
a soul singer.
Does that look
like a soul album?
Ah, there it is. Kim Weston.
Hey, Joe.
Do you know about
her, Dee Dee?
She turned up about a month ago on
a rainbow, from the land of love.
Orders imports
from the States
like Dean Parish, Dobie
Grey, Yvonne Baker.
When she orders,
she give a name?
Let's have a look. Right.
Jane Rogers.
Trimmer's. What's Trimmer's?
A hairdresser's in town.
You wouldn't know it.
Need an appointment?
I'll see if I can fit you in
"Double Cookin'" by
Checkerboard Squares
Pretty good, that.
Not the Four Tops, is it?
Right. It's not.
So, what's the
Twisted Wheel?
You'll be cracking on you
A club.
The Wheel was a soul
club in Manchester.
They shut it. Said people were
having too much fun. In Wigan?
It opened last year. 2-8.
No divvies allowed.
Might see you there, then.
Stranger things
happen. Groovy.
It'll take a day
or so to settle.
Got no change. Sorry.
I like it,
right? RUSS SNORTS
Wigan? I'd rather set
meself on fire, mate.
"Great sounds,
all night dancing."
The only dance I
know is the dime fly.
Fly's not a dance.
You made it up.
Every dance is
made up by someone!
Anyway, Saturday nights,
we're at The Onion.
And I'm pig sick of it!
This place, it'll
blow your mind! Look.
"If you're into soul,
Wigan Casino will blow."
But I'm not into soul.
Not yet.
"The Snake" by Al Wilson
On her way to
work one morning
Down the path
alongside the lake
A tender-hearted woman saw
a poor half-frozen snake
been all frosted with the dew
"Oh, well!" she cried,
"I'll take you in"
Oh, yeah. Did I
mention the chicks?
"Take me in,
oh, tender woman
Take me in VAN BACKFIRES
Oh, f***ing 'ell, man!
Who are all this lot?
"A Lot of Love"

You trying to make some kind
of point with that or what?
It's the best
haircut I've ever had.
Who's that?
Ah, just some bird.

Just some bird?

Listen, Charlie. Dexie.
Everyone calls me Dexie.

"The In Crowd" by Dobie Gray
I'm in with the in crowd
And I know what
the in crowd knows
Any time of the
year Don't you hear
Dressing fine, making time
We breeze up and
down the street
We get respect from
the people we meet
Come on love, move on.
Any time now. Any time.
It's going to be
monster. Just you wait.
Stop pushing in the back.
