Who wrote the bio on Lost Highway?

[Danny_]

My vote is Moz himself

[Not Right in the Head]

Link, please.

[Ready With Ready-Wit]

Obviously it was written by Osbert Sitwell.

[Danny_]

Lazy!

It might be written by someone works at Lost Highway public relations department.

[EastOfEden]

David Quantick? I think not. This is the "free-lancer" journalist who keeps spreading his shit all over the UK music press. He has been around for a long time and clearly HATES Morrissey with a passion. I've got some old "Select" magazines where he used to have a column. Let me tell you: this man is a joke. I will dig out some old articles and scan them for here. He is an absolute c***. He is the one who literally slaughtered Morrissey in Q Mgazine last year.

[Not Right in the Head]

I'm more interesting in finding out who wrote this sycophantic review (http://www.losthighwayrecords.com/artist/press/detail.aspx?nid=2473&aid=260) on the site.

A pinhole portcullis into the world of one of the country’s best humans, the lyrical dexterity and poetical prowess of a man who will be 50 this year hasn’t waned or become diluted with age.

:sick:

[lottie]

ive only read 1/2 of it, but it sounds like Moz.

vote moz.. :D

[CrystalGeezer]

About a week ago I woke up from taking a nap or maybe sleeping and I had sort of dreamed most of this paragraph, the thoughts and mood in it. Very strange to read later.


If you ask why the new album has the title it has (‘Years of Refusal’) and why on the cover he is holding the baby, after holding on previous covers the violin and the gun, because after all people will want to know, or more rumours will spill into the world and its voracious, agitated internet shadow, the sigh will almost crack into real annoyance. If you sail close to the gale force wind and bring up the sticky situations he finds himself in when he talks of his mythical old England, its disappearance and/or cultural and commercial conversion, and heretically flirts with the flag, and faces expulsion from the entertainment scene, then the sigh and the awkwardness will know no bounds.

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

moz should admit he wrote it :cool:

[Voodoo Doll]

Whoever wrote it needs to use more full stops.

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

Whoever wrote it needs to use more full stops.

full stops are rad! :guitar:

[Je Suis Julie]

It reminds me a lot of "The Last Temptation of Morrissey" interview by Paul Morley. Mostly because of the emphasis on Morrissey's disgruntled facial expressions and all the exasperated sighing going on :p

Whoever did it, it's a good read. Better than your typical yawn-inducing PR fare.

The Lost Highway PR folks are doing a great job!

[justme]

OMG!! MOZ wrote to us :eek::cool: :D

That he still writes songs and faithfully performs them even as the world grows ever more cluttered with repetitive pop music past and present, even as he finds himself having to compete with his own early work in the Smiths, which some people love to the extent that they hate him for not doing that same thing again and again and again, as if it is at all possible, and he is withholding this illusory material out of spite.

First of all he must move on from the days when he sang for the Smiths, cataloguing a pungent psychohistory of early wounds, which both gave him his freedom, and trapped him inside a prison of expectation, and now he must move on each time he makes an album on his own.

...but ultimately he carries on, not by comparing new songs to old songs in the way critics and fans do, but simply – although it’s not that simple – by writing songs that reflect how he feels at the moment.

It seems ferociously judgemental – although weaned on Morrissey such discrimination would come easily - to decide that because Morrissey was once so fantastically, uncommonly expressive, he should now shut down, abdicate, permanently withdraw, or, as he would say, “go and live in Cheadle Hulme.”

[Voodoo Doll]

full stops are rad! :guitar:

Lol. So are you Robby ;)

[Barking]

missing bit:

" As one queues in that caf behind an elderly gentleman and Morrissey, one can't help but think that the other one at the Great Morrissey's side, the one who usually hands the hankerchief and rolls eyes at unbearingly looooooooooooooooong sentences they can not possibly have enough brainpower to read until the end, the one who giggles stupidly whenever people talk about flooded toilets in flooded cities, must really get paid a FORTUNE to laugh at the right moment, when the Great Morrissey looks at them and raises his hand menacingly. Are they even human, you might ask yourself, until, well, Something Goes Wrong: they fail to smile. Is it because they want a rise? Is it because they want a Ploughman? Is it because they wish they worked for a funnier, more manly, more simple, and younger bloke? Is it because they worry about little Sebastien's life in 2050 when planet earth will have become completely empty of elephants and bees because of the Great Morrissey's many world tours? Is it the wrong time of the month? Are they even curious about Australians at all?
Whatever it is: they look grumpy, which in turn makes the Great Morrissey frown, because the man who remembers he is, after all, Working Class, hates to see distress on Oliver's face. (Twist, not the sexy Chef.)
An awkward silence follows, that seems to last a lifetime.
Or at least, a Bush Presidency.
Then, after being stared at for many minutes by me, (the clever journalist who wrote this article soon to be found on Patronsjustlikeswine.com) and the Great Morrissey, the strange creature raises their hand timidly and says:

-"There are two paragraphs 3. It's "its", not "it's". And "élan". Can I go now Morrissey? I have to see Jock about a horse."

Poor soul. Do they even have time to download anything, with all these interviews, you ask yourself, before thinking that Obama's poetry can't be bad, in comparison.

[Je Suis Julie]

"By the way, his language on the new record deserves an admiring word. His lyrics are getting simpler, at least for now, and briskly instructive, as if, this far into his life and his body of work, he has decided just to get on with it, brushing aside everything he might say but doesn’t care to."

I love this bit.
It's so true.

My favorite professor once told me it takes years and a certain amount of wisdom and confidence to know when to stop editing and embellishing your writing.

Morrissey's lyrics can be extremely ornate or brutally simple. He's one of the few writers that can do both.

Like Oscar Wilde crossed with...... punk rock. Or something like that. This album is very punk rock - yet melodic too. You don't need to over-analyze it. Just turn it up and let it take you somewhere else.

[I am a Ghost]

What's wrong with Cheadle Hulme? :(

[CrystalGeezer]

So if Morrissey did write this, and you also suspect he posts here, then why are there no posts here that reflect that style of writing?

[marred]

Ok this has to be the most ridiculous post of all time. :)

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

Ok this has to be the most ridiculous post of all time. :)

for the general forum, it might be :eek:

[Dave]

Some random journalist.


Don't you think that if Morrissey wrote it there would be some life in it?

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

Some random journalist.


Don't you think that if Morrissey wrote it there would be some life in it?

ok, i wanna change my vote maybe :confused:

[King Leer]

It reads as if Morrissey dictated it to a lackey that felt nervous about polishing the Man's words for reading purposes.

Morrissey dictating -- can't you just imagine it?

[Dave]

on the desk is where he wants you

[evergreennightmare]

is that a burger king advertisment in the corner?...haha

[Danny_]

Bloody hell, some people are taking this a bit seriously!

[lainey]

WELSH RABBIT( god love him) posh chesse on toast. I would have sat with him X

[joe frady]

Well done Danny_ for the idea of doing this as a poll. Cute idea.
I'd wager my left nut it's the work of Mr.Morley. I think it's cracking.
I wondered if this might even possibly be.....Liner Notes!!! How cool would that be. 'Years of Refusal' to come with 12 pop gems, some wrestling with Russell, and liner notes by Paul Morley. It's just that one reference to 'this slim pamphlet' got me thinking that this might not be just for a Press Release. ;)

oh, Liner Notes, good thinking!

[Barking]

...And here I have to pause, put my fists on my hips in a dramatic fashion, and ask, "who the F. is Paul Morley?!" as if I gave a damn, and was about to Google it, when, in truth, I am just going to make meself another cuppa, which apparently is the equivalent of a couple of Google searches, energy-wise, if anyone's interested. (No, not that one. The other one.)(Ha, that one neither? Hmm.)


I am also thinking of suicidal Mancunian English teachers correcting somebody's essays. "Oh bugger.:mad: 667th page already, and the end is not in sight! Probably thinks he's the only pupil on earth. Oh how I wish I could puke in his lunch box. Puke:sick: puke:sick: puke:sick:."

Shouldn't it also be rumourS, because, well, many is plural, and so, well, maybe rumour should be also, although some people might say, well maybe, but then again, who ever said so, and why should I do that, if I don't want to, and other endless discussions that make waiters feel really, really old, as they wipe tables listening to Friendly Fires.

For the record, I don't believe Morrissey shaves. For a second. So that was pretty useless, one could say. Or :horny:, the other one.

I'm off to the Bucket.:sick: Well don't follow then.

When does a PJ become a VPJ? Exactly? You ask yourself as Morrissey licks the mayo, because it's become chips with mayo.

[Barking]

Obviously it was written by Osbert Sitwell.

"You're Osbert, and you're sat with Morrissey. And you're sitting well."

Yup. Or he could be the work of his gordita cousin. Harder and harder to tell them apart these days...:p Sorry, hope you don't mind being included in a PJ?

So, 9 cookies, is it? Choc chip? Any preferences guys? I'm buying. Hurry while I'm in a generous mood...

That FFsinger's legwork!:horny: Honestly! check it out.

[anon x]

Looks like Mr Morley (or an imitation of).

God bless the god like genius of PM !

No,on second reading,don't think it is PM:he's a MUCH better writer than that.I think
it's just someone ripping off PM(badly).

[Barking]

It is quite obviously, and indisputably, the handiwork of Mr Paul Morley. Anybody uncertain should flick through his book Joy Division: Piece By Piece, or Words & Music and they will immediately recognise his style and the bio as one and the same.

It's a great piece of writing and it can be nobody else. Close the poll.

I name Paul Morley as Kolly Kibber and I claim my five pounds!

What if one doesn't want to close the poll and just distribute cookies?:mad:

We don't read books, only wiki..."That's the look, that's the look, the look of leeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerv" Hey I remember that...Kylie...Hmmmm. (Da plot, it tickens.)

What five pounds? Oh that? No.
Cookie? :D

[anon x]

He is the one who literally slaughtered Morrissey

Now,that's not quite true,is it?
:p

[Barking]

To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't have seen it, if it hadn't been for Danny. Therefore, and so far:
For Dannyboy, a cookie and a trip and a trip to Disneyland to meet Paul Mickey Mouse Morley.
And 9 other cookies.

That's it then? We'll go as far as macarons. (They're more expensive, but hey, new Prez and all tat.)

[Barking]

I wrote "BBCticket" on the cookies to make them more interesting. That's as far as I can go, folks.
BTW what is up with those BBC tickets? No, I don't wanna know. People are not pleased, is all I'm saying. Does Paul Morley really need 67 seats is all I'm saying. Sort it out already.

[Infatuation]

So if Morrissey did write this, and you also suspect he posts here, then why are there no posts here that reflect that style of writing?

Maybe, he has graced you with the pleasure. And after all this time you have never took notice.

Then again, probably not.

Hilarious, and frighteningly accurate. I've tried to get through the dense verbiage of the official bio, but it's just too, too insane.

[Barking]

15 minutes left to prove to the world watching you you're as intelligent as a dog. After that I'm off to watch telly. Vote and sign your name so I know who's not daft. Cookie and maybe a glass of champ from Morrissey on his sixtieth barfday.
Oi I said maybe.:p

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

some of the posts in this thread make me think that someone here knows who Moz's http://i4.bebo.com/044a/13/drawingsmall/2008/07/22/17/19843385a7519031278b222169362s.gif partner for this bio really was :eek:

Could just be a parody of Morley. He'd be quite easy to do.

I suppose Paul Morley is a good choice. He knows Moz for along time- from the Manchester scene back in the 70's (Morley even had a band at the time :)).

I just thought it would be very funny if it was Moz's, eh eh eh :D

[JasonLeeming]

It reads as if Morrissey dictated it to a lackey that felt nervous about polishing the Man's words for reading purposes.

Morrissey dictating -- can't you just imagine it?

It'd be a bit like the scene in Downfall where Hitler dictates to the secretary and rants on about how his dog Blondi is much more intelligent than most people. It's just typical of Morrissey to say something like that. Morrissey is a fascist.
OH MY GOD MORRISSEY IS HITLER! THIS BIO WAS WRITTEN BY HITLER!

I'll shut up now.

[Barking]

It'd be a bit like the scene in Downfall where Hitler dictates to the secretary and rants on about how his dog Blondi is much more intelligent than most people.

Well, let's face it, Blondi was probably a lot more intelligent than Adolf. And probably a lot more sensitive. Roll me in desiiiiigner sheets and all that.

Although it takes a dog four months on average to understand how one uses multiquote.:o


What's wrong with Cheadle Hulme? :(

Absolutely nothing. Cracking website. I'm fascinated. Did you know that the punishments for crimes in the area were, for instance, for stealing turnips: 1 month prison? :guitar: I wonder how many turnips there are left in Cheadle Hulme today. I do.

[JasonLeeming]

Well, let's face it, Blondi was probably a lot more intelligent than Adolf. And probably a lot more sensitive. Roll me in desiiiiigner sheets and all that.

Although it takes a dog four months on average to understand how one uses multiquote.:o


That is true. And then he went and killed poor Blondi, testing the cyanide pills Himmler give him on her. The git.

[Barking]

That is true. And then he went and killed poor Blondi, testing the cyanide pills Himmler give him on her. The git.

:eek::tears: Somehow I am very thankful I never paid to much attention to Hitler's bio. I once almost googled "Hitler/ mother/ relationship" because I suspected something fishy, but I stopped myself just in time, thinking it was actually none of my business.


What you said made me cry, and also that bit in the poem by Margaret Sheldon:

(...) Some people say: "You've not
seen the worst."
Trees are felled, they come
tumbling down,
Cheadle Hulme village is now
a town.

Bloody hell! Not seen the worst? Oh Dear God. No. Not me. Not I. Take Pittsburgh instead! Aaaargh. (etc.)

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

Robby, re-reading I saw you were one of the first ones to say yo. I apologize and beat my chest for doubting you. Me and Obama we're really happy you didn't change your vote. You should always follow your instinct Robby. If you go to NZ ask the Bats to buy you a beer.:cool::guitar:

i am so gonna do that :p

[Barking]

i am so gonna do that :p

Good boy.:) If the Bats prove difficult, tell them it's Barking's orders and if that if they try to wriggle out of it, Barking will go to New Zealand and kick their butts. With Antony and the Johnsons.


David Quantick? I think not. This is the "free-lancer" journalist who keeps spreading his shit all over the UK music press. He has been around for a long time and clearly HATES Morrissey with a passion. I've got some old "Select" magazines where he used to have a column. Let me tell you: this man is a joke.

...OR we could concentrate on positive things, listen to birds chirping and try to make the world a better place, full of love and harmony, just like Barack said we should.

Noddy stop smiling idiotically and do what you were told to do. I haven't got all day.

Hmmm. i see two more people have decided they wanted cookies and voted. And now they wonder, "where did the cookies gone? Cookies bye bye? Cookies no return no mo'?". Well some people will just never learn will they. Really. (Obama looks at Michelle with a sad sad look in his eyes. He looks tired already, poor thing. The task! Enormous. Enormous. Too big for words.)

[Barking]

Sadly I am going to have to kill Paul Morley for making me think it was Morrissey. I apologize in advance to the fans of this fine writer, and to the 16 voters. You can keep the cookies. I'll send some to Paul's widow with a note.:tears:
Goodbye, cruel world.

[PregnantForTheLastTime]

Barking, do you have any more cookies? I haven't had any breakfast, and I'm kind of hungry.

[Barking]

Barking, do you have any more cookies? I haven't had any breakfast, and I'm kind of hungry.

Well I have nothing better to do now than bake cookies for the whole of the msolo community, so sure Pregs, you can have a piece. Then head Northbound Northwest/ till I reach the coast/ I'll find an address/ that don't get the post

[Barking]

Before I leave though, I have to say, isn't it funny how someone so intellectually advanced as Monsieur Morley, who uses words I had to look up, can't see there's a lonely child in the room as well? So painfully "shy" he won't ask for a cookie? Who would rather play with an imaginary friend and stare at himself in the mirror till death does him part than admit once and for all he wants company? A kid of about 6? So fiercely proud and self-absorbed he'd rather seem perverse than unhappy, even at the risk of saddening the people who love him the most? Nah? No one can see it? Oh well. Must be my imagination. Anyhoo I thought I'd leave him a lil something, just in case he needs comfort one of these days in the lonely touring months to come...

Ha the warmth of a cookie. Can't beat a cookie for affection. Nope...

I thought I knew what that meant, but I realized I was interpreting it as a commentary on potty training. I wonder why I thought that. Are you well housebroken?

Anyway, I should probably state that I didn't vote on this poll, because I don't have enough information to make an informed judgement. And it doesn't matter. It was exhausting and entertaining.

[Barking]

Yup, exhausting is the word :)

So, official night night thread aside, I'd like to say Goodnight to an American Trilogy:
-Good night, "Paul Morley".
-Good night, Morrissey.
-Good night, Steven.
In the name of the Father, the son and the not so holy spirit.

Yep, like most of us, you're 3 people, well that's good to know, I'd say that's pretty normal (for once). It's just really hard to catch you lot in the same room at once, ain't it, what with Morrissey being in our face all the time. So, thanks for that, guys. That took more guts than you know.
Hope you didn't mind if I made it even more complicated, it was too tempting, everybody likes messing with themselves and fans you know, it's not just you. Thank God no one else is in that bio, or we'd have a mini-Gaza on hour hands as they'd have had to kill you all, as you all know.

Pray note here that not all people would have reacted like that, and draw your own conclusions. No, no names,but, I'm sure some people hope to appear in the official paper version, don't they? You catch my drift? Of course if that was the final version of the bio it'd be perfect but do you 3 all agree on that? Is there a Heaven?
Do you even agree who's important and not, in your bio? Doesn't seem so, so far...Paul Morley (if more informed and more present) would note a few contradictions... wouldn't he?

I'm sure Paul has to leave to haunt other famous folks (Kylie?!!!?), so don't kill each other off during the night, will you.
Gotta save some for breakfast! But yep, lunch was...Interesting.

"A lot on his mind"? That's putting it mildly.:D

And after all that, a world tour. Blimey. Such vigour.:eek:

Sweet dreams to those still up. (Nah, not you, Jake.)(Who's this guy? Do we know him? )(Naaaah... thought we didn't.)(Oh you do? Well maybe you Morrissey but Steven doesn't really seem to give a f- ok, 'night!)

Night msolo people. Till later. Usually skip breakfast but if there's a second helping of all that...Well...There is a greedy dog in me after all.

(I see a couple of people are nursing their sore heads. Yes you and you: well you shouldn't really be in Morrissey/ level 9, you know. The most advanced mods here are level 6, after all. Off to bed. Oh and, you as well: you're underage. D'you fans think I got a degree in Morrissey studies by surfing msolo? Oi. Wakey wakey.:p)

("How many levels are there?" God, I wish I knew! Looks like the Morrissey Trinity don't know that themselves, so! Groan Sigh Eyerollin'. A-go-ny.)

Jesus wept.
Bring back Andy Ison, all is forgiven...:rolleyes:

Good morning eveyone!

Yes, It's another day in the fantabulous life of Barking, the Dog that Never Sleeps. Or works.


Jesus wept.
Bring back Andy Ison, all is forgiven...:rolleyes:

Not that I know of, no? But then, you're the Jake fan aintcha, I shouldn't really be talking to you.:cool: History has shown that it's kinda hard to be a Jake fan and a Barking fan at the same time. Although...(There's the example of the three Stooges, apparently, that seems to blatantly contradict that theory.) Hmmmmmmmmmmmm.

":eek:".


:D

On second reading I understood that there was really another physical person in the room and the bio supposed to be written by somebody else.

Was that Colonel Parker? With the wheelbrace?

It's very comforting to find out that I am not the only one who didn't listen to "Come ack to Cheadle" very attentively... And not only because it was an absolute musical disaster. Thank you Silke. Do tell us what this person looks like...?

It's snowing like mad, we have all day to listen to people's theories. Go on. (And it looks like the Trinity isn't really busy either... 'Ello.:rolleyes:)

[Barking]

Unfortunately I couldn't smell anything so that I cannot tell if it was 4711.

Visually my brain was switching between two women and one man.

Wow, you made me scratch my head with my left front paw for a while. Well done, doesn't happen a lot these days. Then I had a flash of inspiration (the kind most photographers would be jealous of), and had a Google. Well if you'd like my opinion, I doubt any German product was in the room with the Morrisseys, and I say that hoping I don't hurt anybody's feelings in, dunno, Frankfurt.

Nah, it was the Morrisseys all on his lonely, thinking about, (surprise), themselves, and nothing but. Bit like Julius when he sat down to write his memoirs, if he ever did such a thing, which I ain't gonna waste time googlegling.

If you wish, he had an Alain Delon moment, which some people could cowardly take advantage of to make fun of him until his death, because, well, that's what Alain Delon is obviously still here for (whereas Lino Ventura, for instance, is gone). (Everything happens for a reason.)

Your visual idea brought up combined visions of Laura, Eliza Jane and Almanzo from, you know. I wasn't hungry to start with, so now...

Anything else?

Me I kinda wonder about the location, and of course, I wonder about the sandwich place, cos some people could say food is all I ever think about :p ..."And they wouldn't be half-wrong".

Yes, the Colonel never left the USA, because he didn't have a valid passport.


Is that right? Such a shame. He could have learnt such a lot from the Army. Male-bonding for instance. And in Germany. Haaa Germany. Sometimes, I have to wonder, a bit like the Colonel, will Germany ever see me? It's really close, and I have a passport, but I don't know why, I've never been. Probably because of the past and the language. And yet I've met a few very nice German people in my life...

It's like Morrissey when he ponders about his life. It's a question of choice. Everything boils down to choice in the end. Saying to yourself "I had no choice" is a choice in itself.

Personally I never ruled out the possibility of Germany. Like Michael Stipe (just mentioned here because Morrissey once said he was "nice with everybody", as if that was wrong, which, let's be frank, made me :rolleyes:), I am just waiting for Opportunity to knock.

-Bloody hell, Morrissey, the way his mind works, the ways he sees himself, the ways he portrays himself, the way he runs away, also, sometimes I wonder, will anybody ever catch him.

It's like he simultaneously runs to songs and away from them, the great old blithering idiot, thinking they have a life of their own. And they do. it's just...Time...Death...Pain...Ordinary Life... They stare at some people more often than they stare at others, I guess.

Perhaps they focus on little people with small legs and not Tall Entertainers.
And by that, I don't mean Priscilla Queen of the desert.

I don't know. I wish I could ask him whether, if someone doesn't hear or doesn't listen to it, a song is still a song, but I guess he'd run away from me as if I were a Subway restaurant...(shrugs...)

For the record, I hate Subway. And also that pseudo Mexican chain. The evening he was in Dublin, in that Hospital, if anyone is interested (I'm talking to Tim Jonze), I was in such a place, Quiznos think it's called, I had a really horrible sandwich, and that made me feel a bit defeated and self-pitying, for maybe a couple of minutes, as if I had no choice, whereas it would of been ok but I said yes to the peppers! So technically, I had a choice.

Luckily I was with two young men, included a charming Mexican, so I accepted my fate, which was to Not Go to a Morrissey Gig.
Like Morrissey accepts his, Because, He Has No Choice.

Yes. It really boils down to sandwiches, and whether they're nice or not. Morrisseys is absolutely right. Now I can see it.

As I've admitted before, I also went to Burger King, perhaps even on the very day when he was in Dublin, which is in itself a very good reason to be quartered and burnt at the stake while listening to Sporto Kantes, for instance, I understand that completely. I understand that. But it was by far the cheapest food available, and I wanted to save the money I'd just earned.

There was a really nice veg restaurant off O' Connell I could have gone to IF someone had invited me. But nobody chose to.

(The guys I was with were students and didn't want to spend money either.:rolleyes::p )


Crystal Geezer would tell you it's all frighteningly revealing, if she was still with us...

"Steven,
While, Steven, everybody is focused on Viva Hate and "girlfriend" being ignored, I'd like to seize this opportunity, Steven, to anxiously bid you good night, Steven. However, let me be clear how I presently feel, Steven...Morrissey laid to rest Steven...No financial viability whatsoever...All the best for the future Steven....Paris...Overjoyed...Take Care Steven-very best Steven. ".

:p

"Ach. das ist ein funny face...."

Good night the Morrisseys. (Nah Chteven, don't remind him of the 18 people vs interest for hate, just let it sink in slowly, babes...:D Slowwwwwly...:cool: )

Thanks for ruining my thread!

Can we have a forum called "complete mindless wibble"? :rolleyes:

[Kewpie]

*hugs Danny*

If I win tickets to see Morrissey for Radio 2 live, I'll take you with me.

[Oh my god, it's Robby!]

dear Barking, i do not think i have any idea what you are on about anymore :confused:
and i speak fluent gibberish :cool:

[Kewpie]

Robby, stop hijacking thread!!!! :mad:

Barking, send a PM or visitor message to Robby, no need for adding your reply in here.

Thank you very much for your considerations.

Kewpie honey, no needs to get upset over nothing, as nothing it truly is. You're too sensitive, babe. But you're not going up to level 7 just because you try and bully me.:D Life doesn't work like that. Nothing does.
I also apologize for ruining Danny's thread. You know I luvs you guys. I won't do it again, I promise. I'll keep meself to meself and all that...:rolleyes:

Besides, I've said all I had to say.

Wells...Almost.:D

(Silke, that's actually the only German I know! Thank you for being informative. :sweet:)

And no, to answer your mute questions, Morrissey is NOT going to retire because I ask him to, so no need to panick and get all defensive and prepare a stock of tomatoes...
Besides, I never asked him to. Did I?

Everybody happy now? There's no danger of any kind, everybody can relax.:cool: Kewpie, put dat moderating gun down baby.

I know there's stuff you'd all rather not know. But, to quote Damon, "there's no other way."

Have a nice day, kittens. Say hi to JR for me. If he pulls that face.

[Barking]

Barking, are you talking "Stranger in a strange land" there?

I agree in a way with what you said about choices, but then again our choices are limited to what we know at each time. You cannot make a choice that you are not aware of and don't see. We live in the movies when we live life and are not the viewers who know so much more because they see the other parts as well.

Dear me, a Question.:eek:
Ok. I meant to be gone but if we want to take that metaphysical discussion further here, I have to have the moderators' authorization, and also Danny's, who's sulking. Because I really do not want to upset people anymore. So I'll wait for the go-ahead like a civilized driver on the road to...Hell I guess. (Martyr's face).

[Barking]

"Ask" is one of my favourite songs. :D

Ok, let's just let the thread drop off the page or others discuss the Morrisseys further.

yep let's do that. Phew. (wipes forehead). Thank you hon.

Plus this thread has made Boz Boorer so nervous, he's already lost 10 pounds...Now we don't want that, do we.


"Stranger in a strange land" looks fascinating...Wonder what Sven Nelson looks like, in reality? Please Please Please, let it be Viggo Mortensen.;)

[Barking]

Dancing in the disco, bumper to bumper

Sorry for bumping this but I thought I'd send you a postcard from Romania to let you know of my latest conclusions, as I know you're pining. (Plus I'd hate to be remembered here as "Barking-four-paws-no-brain".):head-smack:

So now I think Mussell wrote that, partly cos it's not signed so it fits with his "anonymous prankster" personality.

The odds are therefore as follows:

Morichi: 10% (he's simply not that smart.)
Mussell: 85%
Miss Marple: 5% (would explain the "hard to keep up with him" bit, Miss M. being a lil old lady. Although very fit for her age, really.)

As for "the other person in the room", I now concur it HAS to be Tom of Finland, much to the relief of somebody in Hull.:mock:

Anyway. We'll prob never know, but it was...er..."fun".
Have a chuny day, y'all!

(Sorry again for ruining your thread Danny.:blushing:)
