Holidays

dismas — Wed, 30 May 2007 10:33:00 +0100

Hi Guys, I have been away on holiday for the past 3-4 weeks and nobody missed me, that's right nobody. Can you imagine how hurt I am feeling?

Roger Waters

dismas — Wed, 09 May 2007 10:55:00 +0100

Hi Ya All,

Went to the Manchester Arena on Monday to see Roger Waters Dark Side of the Moon, Wow is what you can say, Wow to the arena, it's HUGE first time there and boy was I impressed, big, easy to get into, easy to get out and NO parking problems.

Roger Waters was amazing, so like Floyd it was easy to forget that it was not, the band superb, tight and all the other things that you could say. I would highly recommend the venue and Roger Waters to anybody.

Great to be alive

Thursday once again, which means Tesco (The Demons) and the Garden Centre with my lovely partner Annmarie and my old Mum (84) who is deaf and blind in one eye. At least the weather is wonderful, but that will mean more time spent in a red hot greenhouse looking at plants which hold no interest for me att all. Goin to see Roger Waters in Manchester Monday, at least that will be fun.

Monday

Is it just my imagination? Now what songs that from? Answers on a postcard to...

I was reading a blog the other day about repeat music on Virgin and I have signed the petition to stop it.

But what gets me is why are we doing this? Virgin don't want to listen to us VIP's, Ergo, what is the point of VIP's if nobody but VIP's are going to listen? I understand the community part and that is good, some nice people here and along with that some not so nice (You know who you are) but the point is, it reflects a normal community and as we all know a good community is listened to by the community leaders, this does NOT seem to be the case here, so I repeat, what is the point?

We do as VIP's take time and make a fair bit of effort to enjoy the community benifits (?), so it would seem to me that Virgin should and could commit to the same effort. Does nobody from Virgin monitor these pages? Does nobody from Virgin care, is it just a ploy to keep their VERY POPULAR web site, well popular?

TCT

I have just read Glyn Hughes report on the Noel Gallagher and Coral gig at The Royal Albert. Man you have made my day. I could almost have tasted the event by the way you describe it, the pleasure is ALL mine, so, so glad you both had a super time. I walk on the wheel of Karma and me and my kind are legion, just scattered around a bit, there are more 'good people out there than bad, the bad just shout louder, get the Press (Who reports on GOOD stuff) and bring more attention to themselves. Keep the faith.
