James, 41, from Pontllanfraith is really concerned about the Labour leadership contest, his bandmate has a degree in politics dontcha know. He's also really worried about the infighting on his bands forums....actually he couldn't give a thundering fuck really we're just trying to fill our word count. Doesnt he have lovely jubley breasts?

[hummingbird]

good post that (hanna's i mean if someone's posted since)

I never thought it was the band ..it never is ..they have better things to..i did think that someone was friendly with person/persons that work for the band and they got in that way. Which is fine....you follow a band around you're going to get to know people. Lucky bastards

aaaanyway...that Sun article was mean and i wanna give James a cuddle. Awww

We shall have to agree to disagree on this, as I said, you can't really see my viewpoint and I'm not entirely grasping yours either.

Please don't insult me by saying my common sense or sense of perspective has somehow failed, though. I'm quite entitled to feel put out. You've quoted a "gem" from Finn and totally ignored the fact that this place has been given short shrift many a time. You're not aware of all of the details regarding the running of FD and the way the band/management have treated them. If you're asking me to not post opinions when I apparently don't have all the details, it's only fair you do the same.

As I've said, there'll never be an agreement on this. It's an issue that reaches well beyond this gig and I suggest we let it disappear back under the surface where it usually stays. There's a tour coming, after all.

If Martin had not come within touching distance of me i would not have asked!

I think he is a little Anti-Forever Delayed! - The noise he made when i mentioned it was a little negative lol!

[Lydia]

FD does the work that the official site can't be bothered to do. He should be more appreciative.

[mrsmanics]

Amen. Of course now we'll get: "BUT YOU ARE ALL SO NASTY!" as an excuse.

Heaven forbid anyone expresses anything other than a positive opinion, eh?!

I can't entirely slate Martin Hall though; I met him once and he was nice.

[sparklytiara]

Agree with Lydia, fd is by FAR my most visited msp site and the place that I (and many others I'm sure) will go to first for updates.

There's a fucking huge flood in Pakistan, a worldwide recession, numerous wars, global warming etc. going on at the moment.

Fair enough some people feel hard done by, but really it's not the end of the world, whatever you think of it all.

Is it too much to ask that people bury the hatchet? There's a lot of good people needlessly fighting here.

Mate, that's not even the top story in BBC News 24.

But yeah, this is all getting incredibly silly.




P.S. Dext getting into the gig is a true triumph of the underdog. Hilarious stuff!

To be fair, I think most people who have commented in this thread do actually have bigger things to worry about in their own lives without needing to bring global disasters into it

[mrsmanics]

I know I do!

I just wanted to make my point. I've made it.

The world still turns!

Thanks, my +1 was Franny!

[Mary Chain]

Well thank God for that, I thought that might end this throwing about of assumptions, at least for a while. That was actually the shortened version of the post, I type very fast.

Anyway I have pictures so people can feast their eyes upon neck porn, dodgy fringeness, cheekbones etc: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?ai...2&l=47afea23bf My favourite is the one of Wayne and Saxy. Also some class shots of Denise at her finest, creepy as hell.
