It wasn't me who brought in the scenario that Dave (el gnomo) did, and if he's not squirming, he should be, believe me....because there is a line you don't cross...he crossed it as far as I'm concerned.
The excellent news this morning is that he'll be able to keep his eliza cds now...which will cheer him up no end.

Yup, it seems that I do get some people's backs up. I did from the very first message I ever posted on the BBC. And it stunned me, because there was nothing in it that should have made folks feel that way. I was simply a new poster, first time ever writing anything on the computer, but, without me realising it, I'd posted about a band 'they' loathed, and from that moment on, things were never quite the same.

Five years down the line, those who once shouted out so angrily against Show of Hands have finally accepted them, said openly how much they've gone up in their estimation. Of course, I realise that 'intelligent' folks such as these would only say that about Show of Hands music, and would not have the hypocrisy in their souls to merely now support them purely because Phil asked me to stop talking about the band in 'adulatory' terms, for that would be to make out that the Moaning Minnies were even bigger hypocrites than I had thought them to be....

Whoa! Far be it from me to suggest that one!

I think it's wonderful that they now love the same music I love...and I look forward to reading their words about some Show of Hands songs in the near future.

Who'd a thought it, huh?

Everything turns out sunny in the end. :0)
