"It is not what you thought of the circumstances of one particular visit to the Cellar Upstairs that is important"
It's how I experienced a night Vic - I had been used to good nights there and I thought "Oh dear, not another good club down the tubes"
Dick first raised the Club - I responded.
Maybe I should not have, maybe it was just an off-night, but it was bad enough to find disturbing because of the clubs past record.
What aree you peole on - Dick finds it permissible to open a thread on a club he admits he has never been to - I have no idea how many of the people who have given the Singers a kicking ever visited it or how many people who still snide at MacColl's approach to sng ever heard him speak... but when I relate a contrary experience and opinion to those off Dick's - burning torches and pitchforks
Who the hell do you people think you are... folk police writ large.
I have no idea of the reasons for the bad night - I only know it was.
I'm happy to learn that it is now doing a good job, but based on the last time I was there - Pat tells me it was longer ago than I thought it was - it wasn't then.
How dare you people deride one club and object when I give an opinion of another?
Double standards or what?
"Could he let us know if he thinks that she is the sort of person who is likely to put up with this situation week after week with doing something about it?"
I wouldn't have thought so - Sheila's dedication down the years has been extremely creditable - hence my surprise and disappointment.
"bickering and point-scoring between himself and Dick Miles."
I really don't know how to handle Dick's persistent bad behaviour
which has included threats of violence at one stage and which, (by his own admission), has led him to him having been thrown off one forum
I realise my response has been somewhat intolerant occasionally and have attempted to ignore him - not always easy
I have attempted to be polite with him here, successfully to a degree.
Thanks a bunch for raking over old coals Vic, extremely helpful in promoting intelligent discussion - much appreciated, .I'm sure.
Anyway - sorry to interrupt the public pillorying - carry on chaps.
"Still no simple straightforward non ranting reply from Jim to my question"
And still no response to my reply - which I didn't expect
