We just poke you for a while with spears. Sweetpea (I kind of miss that letter 'a' now it's gone), you're actually saying quotable original things within the quotable thread!!! How do we cope with that? Back to top

Most of this was reported months ago and was heavily debated over and deconstructed  by myself, Alan D, Sir Mustapha , Korgscrew and various others. Opinions varied hugely with me personally feeling Mike's second visit to the toilet was nothing but a blatant cash in on his first, added nothing to the experience and seemed  like unreserved attention seeking. - TOBY my life is going to change after getting to know this important "news"? NOPE! - Tati The Sentinel Bernard Hermann's soundtrack to "Psycho" is one of the most accomplished pieces of film music in history but I wouldn't blast it through my subwoofers cruising down the freeway. - Wanderer if mike had chosen to film a tractor digging a hole in the ground as visuals for the album we would have liked it and said 'mike is breaking new ground! it is deep' - QE3 If no-one of you out there likes ABBA, please don't attack me. - Ugo I do secretly like TresLunas - TOBY -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

Sora -  written in a terrible english - sorry, it's not my fault!!! PiltdownBoyOnHorseback - Just blame the English for this -------------- "I was in this prematurely air conditioned supermarket and there were these bathing caps you could buy that had these kind of Fourth of July plumes on them that were red and yellow and blue and I wasn't tempted to buy one but I was reminded of the fact that I had been avoiding the beach."

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Sep. 02 2007, 00:56 Tony, that made me laugh, too. I wonder what happened to PiltdownBoy. It appears he is a prolific poster, but I don't think he's been active lately? -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

I never thought that "baggies-fanines-sex" made sense, but that's what I read. What's a "baggie" by the way? Something you have in Essex? I'm quite sure there's no such thing as "fanines" though.

May I also say to be a Baggie you need patience, a high tolerance for dissapointment, an iron will, something at hand to throw at the wall and last but not least a good sense of humour. -------------- I, ON THE OTHER HAND.

At first I thought his name  was "Baggins-fan-in-essex", as in a fan of Hobbits Bilbo and Frodo Baggins, and not a fan of Gollum , Nasty little Hobbitssesss My Preciousssss!!! Sorry just gone into my Lord Of The Rings fan mode there . I know BFIE did explain how West Bromwich Albion FC maybe got their nickname of "The Baggies" , but that was a long time ago and I know PM's dissapear after a while. -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Sep. 05 2007, 01:31 Tubularman, I remember seeing an old quote of yours concerning the "crack" someone had given you, saying it hadn't worked. I thought it was so funny, but I refrained because I didn't want to appear mean by poking fun at someone's typo. Err... it was supposed to be "track", right?? -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

Sweetpea Group: Members Posts: 1476 Joined: April 2007 Posted: Sep. 07 2007, 01:03 Thanks for the update, jonnyw. It can be worrisome when a regular poster disappears for an extended period, so it's nice to hear that Piltdownboy is okay. .............. I have two categories for music, Mike's and everyone else’s. - The Watcher Interesting though the technical side is, when push comes to shove, I don't care whether Mike makes his music using a battery-powered plastic banjo, as long as it touches my soul - Alan D stop listening to it right now, go and bury it somewhere.......... ...........Reason being, when you've suffered this album too much, you start to enjoy it........That's right, you'll start to like it...... It's insidious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - The Man who is He.. the first time I saw the Babooshka video I had to be towelled down - The Big BellEnd -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time?

About Amarok: Whenever I get to the big climax at 50:24 I get such an urge to shout "W00T!!" and start a 'wave' (yes, I'm a nerd) - unfortunately, that doesn't work very well with one person. 2. About her slight preference for Tr3s Lunas: Wow! *kisses Tres Lunas* Wow wow wow. 3. About Music VR and road safety: put me on a pink guitar, and WATCH OUT. 4. About the importance of moderation for a Mike Oldfield fan: it would be a small matter to build a little MO shrine you know, ive always thought about doing a wave at the climax of Amarok,...you see there are 2 mains albums im obsessed with (can you guess which ones?)

Amarok of Distant Earth Group: Members Posts: 3 Joined: Sep. 2007 Posted: Sep. 07 2007, 13:41 also, i read somewhere in this site saying something about Mike should do a concert for his new CD, and someone said something about him playing outside in the freezing cold,....just for the record, i read an interview with Mike and he said that he will never do an indoor concert due to bad acoustics. so if you go to a concert in January,..bring a coat.
