I got off work early today and I headed to the mall near by me and while I was walking and looking in the stores, they played I only wanna be with you ... and yes it was the Bay City Rollers version.... It just made me so happy. I totally just got lost into the song and didn't even care why I was at the mall at all...

What luck.... :-) .. thanks for reading... I just had to share that totally stress free moment with you...

Re: Good Music - happy thoughts Beverly if only the mall merchants here knew there was a 40ish crowd of big spenders wanting to hear the Rollers songs they'd play them often. Heck I'd be in the mall every day for that! (NT) -- Edna, 04:46:53 07/04/09 Sat

I chose to post my earlier message about Paton because I am aware of many other facts that others arent. I am not going to back down because I just cannot. I cannot find it in my heart to do so BECAUSE of the things I know. Things I will not discuss here.

I am sorry if people are offended - that wasnt my intention - but I am not sorry Paton is dead. In fact, I'm very happy he's gone.

Zoe, I find your response to this situation very unprofessional. I can't imagine some of the mean, evil and nasty things Tam has done, but that is not the point here. You are the owner of Derek's board, and you are also representing Derek himself, so you of all people have at least some obligation to show some integrity. Clearly, it would have been best to have said nothing! (NT) -- Maggie, 06:17:46 04/17/09 Fri
Tam Paton was an evil, evil, EVIL man. I make NO apology for posting my glee at his death. None. I am still filled with the upmost happiness at his death. (NT) -- Zoe, 18:57:42 04/22/09 Wed

I just finished taking my Medical Terminology final. I earned a 97%. I will wait until they approve my work and then it's on to the Transcription course.
To be perfectly honest, I had doubted I could do this. Well, let's face it, I have not been able to get a job in almost 10 years. Add to that the lack of encouragement from
my husband and son, and I thought I would fail at this like I have at everything else. That being said, I want to thank you all for your enthusiastic support. I can't begin to tell you how much that means to me. I consider myself blessed to be able to call you friends.
Thanks again, all my love to you all, Trish

Patricia, you can do anything you set your mind to. As long as you have the desire and drive to do this, you will succeed, but you have to do it for yourself. My high school counselor once told me that I wasn't smart enough to go to nursing school and to not even try. Ends up that I graduated from college with honors twice. One of those degrees was as a Registered Nurse. Don't let anyone tell you that you're not good enough. 97% is pretty darned good! Don't give up! (NT) -- Lorrie Crossfield, 17:32:43 05/26/09 Tue

Yesterday the world lost two well loved icons - Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson.
Farrah was the woman we ladies all wanted to look like. She had the smile, the body and especially the hair. But she was also a truly great actress. She played a rape victim getting revenge in the play 'Extremities' on Broadway and then played the role in a movie. I felt this was the best role she ever had. She will still be loved for many years to come.
Michael Jackson started as a great singer and dancer with his brothers, then went on to become a powerful entertainer. I, personally, feel that his fame would have been tripled had he not had so many excentricities. All in all though he was a dynamic entertainer. The type many strived to emulate.
Rest In Peace Farrah.
Rest In Peace Michael.

Thursday was a really crappy day, and I for one am still in shock. I did expect Farrah to not make it to the weekend, but losing Michael just gutted me (as Lisa Marie Pressley said in her blog). We cant forget we also lost Ed McMahon, another star and wonderful entertainer, and today we lost Billy Mays, who annoyed more people with his loud mouth commercials, but still the same, he was a beloved human being to some one who will miss him greatly. (NT) -- Teresa, 01:04:12 06/29/09 Mon

It seems to me that we're losing all of the great entertainers that we all grew up knowing. I'm feeling really old right now. Michael Jackson wasn't much older than us. (NT) -- May, 01:48:42 07/02/09 Thu

Re: Lets celebrate -- Michele Filarowski, 23:08:18 06/21/09 Sun

I'd like to get Derek's take on the situation. I know Ian is a bit sad at his passing, understandably so. But one thing can be said - toward the end of his life money was the ONLY thing Tam cared about. Correction: HIS MONEY. Everyone else could drop dead for all he cared. Yes he gave the world the Rollers, but in truth he saw them only as profit. IMHO. (NT) -- Mary Katherine, 17:32:20 04/09/09 Thu

Re: Lets celebrate -- Edna, 03:46:52 04/10/09 Fri
good riddance to rubbish I say! The only thing that I can think of that made his anything more than a worm is that we have all made some great friends because of the Rollers, and he was instrumental in that. Otherwise, he was a lying, manipulating old buzzard! (NT) -- Debbie C, 16:13:32 04/10/09 Fri

Hi Derek,
My name is Veronica ,known as V. I've been a fan of yours since the seventies. We both had something in common back then-we both played the drums. They say that you never forget what you learned,but I'm not sure if I could play the drums now though. Anyway, how are you and how is life? Well done on your nursing and I hope to see Staff Nurse Longmuir soon. Sorry to read about Alan. I hope he is in better health now. I have read about the ROLLER'S RE-UNION. Can we buy either Videos or DVDs on this. I am sending this message via my husband's email,(hence the address). Take care and hope that we can keep in touch.
Best wishes, V.

I will get around to posting the new pic soon when time and work allow, so dont worry (Robin *g*) it's coming!

Hello Derek, my name is Veronica,or known as "V".
I've been a fan of yours since the 70s. It's good to be able to catch up on life and how you are doing,even this way, via email!
We had somthing in common back then,don't Know if I could keep up now ,though. They say everyone has talent,and what you learn you never forget. I'm sorry to read about Alan,but I hope he is now in better health.
Unfortunately,I am unable to see very well. So, this has been sent via my husbands email.
I've looked at your brief bio. Have you an up to date picture of yourself you could send me,possibly via email.
Well done with your nursing career.
Best wishes and take care,V.

On Friday I sent a few pictures of Derek thru the Walgreens website to print some 4 x 6 for my shadowbox, and upon arriving at the store, and finding out they hadn't even started the printing process, I decided to wait, and I am SO GLAD I did. The lady (Mindy) started printing the pictures and asked "WHY ARE YOU PRINTING PICTURES OF MY BOYFRIEND"? I almost fell off the stool, and said, why are you making comments about MY boyfriends (or something like that). Turns out, she is a Derek fan, and apparently thru the years she has let her husband know (met him briefly he has a great smile) that Derek was her FIRST TRUE LOVE. We had a chance to talk, she is one of triplets who had a great mom who let them put BCR posters all over the wall, and play their music. She said she got to see the guys, I think in Utah, and on their way to the car, she reached out to touch Derek, and ended up with a handful of shirt, it ripped. She was horrified for a second, but said she ended up tying that piece of plaid around her ankle and she never took it off, she slept in it, showered in it, wore it everywhere, until it finally rotted and fell off. Now ladies THAT IS A FAN!!!!!!!!!! I told Mindy I would tell her story here, and gave her the link to the board. I hope you all welcome her when she posts, and I hope to get to meet her again one day soon. Shelly, you and I need to get together and watch DVD's with her.

For those of you here who do not already know, I thought I would tell you why I am not on as much as I used to be. As of the second week of March, I have been taking a Medical Terminology class in preparation for the Medical Transcription program I wanted to go into. Well, tonight I took the 4th section review and got a 100% on the test. I now have only 5 chapters to go before I take the final for the class. I think I may be able to get it done in about a week or so, which is about a year sooner than I am allowed for the class.
I will continue to pop on and off and post when I can, but I really want to focus on my schoolwork so I can finish and get a job. We really need the second income.
My love to all, Trish

Hi gals, glad to see you all still posting here.

Just to let you know, I met Derek last weekend a couple of times and he is still as gorgeous and wonderful and lovely as ever. We had a lovely meal on Saturday Night...I cannot fault the guy; he is such a sweetheart. Oh and there will be a photo shortly *g*

He was quite optimistic about the court case re: Arista but obviously there is a long way to, just for your interest.

Love and hug
Zoe xxx

I have read Bye Bye Baby, and Shang-A-Lang they were both good. Although Bye Bye Baby, I remember reading that when I was home for 6 months recovering from a bad injury, and parts of that book, I laughed so hard my injury rehurt! Yeah, I had to put the book down and hold my stomach I was laughing so hard! Anything written by Tam Paton, not only would I not read, I wouldn't touch it with a 50 foot pole! Love you all!

We have an absolute blast on the DML and DereksGalsCosyCorner boards! (Over 4000 messages one recent month!! - we're chatterboxes aka yibbermouths! 'o) )

Anyway I'm rambling - cause it's very late here in sunny ol' England! Love ya Derek! Thank you for being you!! and have a wonderfully FANTABULOUS Day! Lots love Lou :o) xx

It was your very genuine smile, and those gorgeous green eyes that I fell in love with some 32 years ago, and that smile is still as sweet,kind & genuine today as it was back then. May the sparkle always stay in those eyes, and that sweet smile on your face.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEREK

On this fine day it is very fitting to say, Derek has enriched our lives in his very special way.

Derek was the blonde haired drummer in a famous 1970�s music band; helping to paint the world tartan as he hailed from a place they call Scotland.

With his valuable addition to The Bay City Rollers popular songs, in our hearts is where he now belongs.

So Derek on your special day just remember the people who adore you most on your message board they are now going to post.

Have a wonderful day, as you deserve to be spoilt in a special way.

Hey, y'all,

I just checked the court, and the Judge issued an order regarding Defendant's (Arista) Motion to Dismiss.

I just briefly looked at it, but the Judge DENIED their Motion to Dismiss. This means that Arista has 30 days from the date of the order (March 5, 2009) to submit an Answer to the Complaint. This should be filed no later than April 6, 2009 (30 days is actually April 4, but that is a Saturday, so it falls to Monday, April 6).

I'll keep you posted!

WOO HOO!!!

There will be a dinner, a meet and greet the night before and a full length concert by Les and the Legendary BCR not to mention the raffle, etc. I'm hoping to get to see a lot of old friends there and to finally get to meet some others in person!

This is the link if you are interested: http://www.lesmckeown.com/savannah.htm.

Hope to see you there!

Hi everyone, Derek i hope that you will read this one day as i may be able to jog your memory. Do you remember going out with a girl called Kate Gunn? way back when Nobby Clark was lead singer... She lived in craigmillar castle grove and you gave her wee canadian neice your drumsticks to keep (that was me, Carolyn) Well unfortunately my dog chewed them and i was devastated. You were the first older guy i ever had a crush on (lol, I was only 8 at the time!)Please, if you ever read this and you do remember, then please let me know. It would be great to hear from you. Love and best wishes Carolyn xxx

Hello all, hope you still all posting happy memories and things about Derek and the Rollers.

Right now there has been muck scraped up yet again but this is a happy message board and we dont want that kind of untrue rubbish on here.

We are all here because of our love for Derek and the Rollers.

KEEP ON ROLLIN' YEAH!

How about telling me your favourite Roller song and why?

Mine is Angel Angel - dont ask me why, I just think it's the perfect pop song.

Oooh and I love My Teenage Heart - how many of us felt that way?

Hugs
Zoe xxx

I like a lot of the songs but my all time faves have to be 'here Comes That Feeling Again' {Alan has SUCH a gourgeous voice}, and 'I was only dreaming' from a later disk. (NT) -- MK, 21:32:44 02/11/09 Wed

Linney,
I know you are the administrator for Alan's board, but many of us know you and I would like to take a minute to ask everyone to wish Linney a Happy Birthday on Feb 24th! She is in Australia and will be back in the UK on March 6th.

You are a very dear friend and I will treasure your friendship for a lifetime. Linney made my birthday VERY special, and I would like to just pass the wishes back to her and express how special you are my dear friend! I am looking forward to coming to the UK this year for a visit. May you have many more Birthday celebrations!

Love and Hugs Always,

Shelly

My darling sisters and (in case you see this)Derek,
I got a call from my mother earlier who told me that my sister's doctor has ceased her treatment for cancer. Mom said that Ang was told that the Chemo was not having any affect. They could not tell Ang how long she has, but said that it was largely up to her.

Angelique was a fan, her favorite was Woody. That is the main reason I am posting this. She is 46 years old, has six children and I think 10 grandchildren. My nieces and nephews have all been in denial in regard to their mother's illness and are all likely to take this very hard.

I am telling you all of this in the hope that you will keep Ang and her children in your thoughts. The kids will need strength to cope with this situation, and Ang will need their support in order to fight as long as she is able.

I wish to thank everyone in advance for your thoughts and support. My family is still in the process of being notified as I post this.

My love to you all, Trish

The videos like Krofft etc? I have them in a box in my storage unit in Foothill Ranch. I live in Irvine now so I would have to go there (another city) and find them packed up in a box. I move a lot in CA....finally moved closer to work and am staying put for a bit. I think Becky Mosley is the person to ask for them. She probably has easier access to them than I do :) (NT) -- Jill, 12:17:09 02/08/09 Sun
