OK advert and highlight time
first the week on the Newsgroup:-
This week it was the turn of the Newsgroup to host a sometimes acrimonious debate
It began with a harmless advert by Jerry Lang from Ireland who wanted to sell some
autographed vinyl lps to raise money for his children's education and ran into a vitriolic stream
inspired by recent criticism of those peddling an unending list of bootlegs and autographed items
on ebay, Eventually Jerry revealed that he runs an on-line radio station upon which he plays Gord
Char found yet another time wasting game to succeed the "batting pinguins" one
Melissa Joe brightened everybody's week by pointing out that Harmony if still on
schedule was due in 90 days. Ron Jones in Vancouver promptly announced that he did not have a
bootlegged copy
on the same theme
sammys da one tried to set up trading for 5000 shows on DVD
Douglas Crowe asked in return if he had the Pat Boone does Van Halen music DVD?
felicitations on Val's birthday were presented then Bruna's
Meanwhile over on the corfid forum
a short topic thread on a review of the Beautiful tribute album in Acoustic Guitar magazine http://www.corfid.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001965.html
brought the revelation that an associate editor there is a "fellow Gord fan".
the very acrimonious debate at:- http://www.corfid.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000257-2.html
on last week's George W Bush speech was suitably lightened by Cathy Cowette's
highlighting the pinguin site
and after that site got over-accessed Violet Blue Horse found that it had moved to another site http://meph.eu.org/
the presidential theme has finally found its target at:- http://www.dancingbush.com/
see topic http://www.corfid.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/000273.html
Ed Mullen you must turn on the music to get the full disco experience!!
which is even better than an earlier mocking site (that I was quite surprised to find is still up there~):- http://www.toostupidtobepresident.com/
I see that that site is bang up, to date with a section entitled:-
"Top 11 reasons to invade Mars." including such pearls of wisdom as:-
5. The invasion will pay for itself through the sale of Mars' ample reserves of Mars bars
OK enough tomfoolery
Last friday at least 7 met in the chat room including a return visit by Pete from Arlington VA and the founder (old Rik himself)
so let's try again this evening at9 PM EST (or 2 AM GMT) at:- http://www.rikschatroom.shorturl.com
