my man left the house to go to this match a normal happy man.
what came back was a man riggled with guilt and remorse.
” i shouldn’t be here” he keeps sayin over and over again, rockin back and forth.
“how did i survive when so many good lads went down”
he wont talk about it. thank you for telling the truth.

And some additional stuff from a subsequent chat on FaceBook between me and the bass player in our Glasgow band, Dave Roy:

David Yatesposted toDave Roy
Dave, I have been reconnecting with some old school friends and a few of us have stayed into music. I was waxing about our band in Glasgow and it turns out that my mate Ian is into Gun. What was the original connection between us and Baby Stafford. I remember Dave suddenly was mates with him and then we all got tickets to the Stones gig and Baby had this Tele that Keef gave to him, but Ican’t remember how it all started. Can you?

Dave Roy Ah yes – Daniel Proverbs – the long haired mate who played drums had a girlfriend called Jacqui. Her brother Paul was the bass player for Gun, as well as the bass sales person for a music shop in Union Street. Does that help…oh different Jacqui to the Jacqueline that Danny married.

David Yates That’s right our erstwhile drummer Derbyshire’ own Danny Proverbs. I used to work in his art shop on Sauchie Hall Street. Didn’t the same Paul leave Gun and join Texas and is now Charlene’s significant other?

Dave Roy No, that was the bass player from altered images I think.

David Yates Really. This is confusing. Our own Dave Porter was in one version or another of Altered Images when he was at school – he has had a fixation about Clair Grogan’s legs ever since. These Altered Image musos got everywhere

Dave Roy and he snogged her apparently

David Yates I think a lot of people did. I was saving myself for Charlene

David Yates They were good days. I remember a few late nights with guitars, musicians, Jack Daniels and some silly guitar off with a Wet Wet Wet guitarist I think.

Dave Roy Ah my mate Graeme… oops nearly put a fb link to his name

David Yates That’s the guy. He was okay as I remember.

Comment on moneysupermarket.com attempt to bribe and blackmail me by Dave Yates

Pretty much.

Not looking to make money out of web deals – I don’t care about that, it leaves me free to comment in any way I want.

I was however very surprised and quite angered that moneysupermarket should pay Prescott to do an advert and then seek to smear him by contacting me and other bloggers, questioning Prescott’s motives through the advert which themselves scripted, devised and paid for.

They rest of it was me turning the tables on the guy to see how Moneysupermarket liked being set up and played for grubby moneyspinners – indeed somewhat like they were trying to do to Prescott

Wow. Had you gotten out of the wrong side of the bed that day?? Never before have I seen such spite from a webmaster as this.

Yes it looks bad for Moneysupermarket but you know what? It looks worse on you. Your original post, which I understand was posted in response to the email, was needlessly spiteful and extremely childish.

If you’re looking to make money out of commercial deals via this website, you’d get a lot more business if you don’t show potential customers just what a malicious person you are.

WordPress, a Google parallel…

WordPress came into our consciousness a few years ago. Blogging had arrived and it seemed to be something to do with that. However our parent company (we hadn’t been born back then), Creative Thing, do PR work from time to time. It occurred to us…

Comment on Arthemia Theme is irritating by Oli

Oli — Fri, 10 Sep 2010 17:55:14 +0000

I use Arthemia free on a few of my sites with success, and while it took me a while to get images on headline and featured going on my first attempt (I labelled the custom field Images, instead of Image) my real gripe is that in the headline box all the text appears without formatting, including paragraphs. This makes the headline box look unattractive, and poorly made.

Thanks Suddy.It’s much appreciated and good to be back in touch with you again.

The next installment shows how bad it is getting – time to nip this in the bud we think.
