I was pointing merely to the fact that Mr Beer is nominated for Musician Of The Year, as a counter to someone who was whingeing that SoH (but one of his bands) had been "overlooked".

I also said that, of those nominated this year, he was the most likely candidate in that category, challenged only by the one who used to have a mohican on his head.

I said, furthermore, that I held no brief whatsover for the Smoothies (nor for R2, nor even the BBC since I've not worked there for over 10 years) but that the outsourced production company was doing what it was paid (and therefore told) to do.

The answer to your subsequent questions are 'yes' 'yes' & 'no'. I am a writer, not a professional performer.

I recommend Specsavers to assist you to actually read and maybe even comprehend what I have written. You know me not at all, or you would be aware that my "attitude" is far from "entrenched", nor am I a "f*lkie" (I loathe the term for oft-explained reasons) nor even an "older folie" (though that sounds rather interesting).

Nor do I know who YOU are and if you HAVE spoken to me, I am entirely unaware of it.
