You run this site "not for profit"??
I'm also sorry to hear about this John, I can remember back to the dawn of time (well tMP) when we could have a laugh and joke about banding, without some muppets jumping on everything that was posted and turning threads into a massive slanging match.Originally Posted by TheMusicMan
The likes of the Childs' and Mr Snell are not interested in what goes on here on tMP, you're right. As to it being true or not, I had heard that Dyke members were specifically told not to post or get involved with discussions on tMP. At one time when I spoke to one of the the Childs (can't remember which eminent one it was, Robert or Nick) to ask if he might be interested in conducting a charity scratch tMP band at Pontins, I was told in no uncertain terms that he didn't do those sort of things. Hey ho.
However, in my time owning tMP I have received one or two physical threats, many complaining telephone calls, a myriad emails, and more worryingly - several legal threats (by senior, well respected people of the banding world, and also by nobs - nuff said) and you may jest... but legal fees to sort some of these items has cost me personally, well into 4 figures.
Aren't I the hero eh!
The price of success it seems. :-(, bring back tMP of old.
i'd agree with that !

Unlike Aussie Tuba, I disagree with that.
Because:-
1. There have always been slanging matches. In fact I believe they used to more frequent and more "massive" than of late
2. They have often been the more entertaining threads on here.
And
3. Do you wanna make something of it?

If there is going to be fighting I want to be Miss Piggy
Can't make a fist tho' due to hooves and lack of thumbs
By the way,
I wonder if any readers could advise on the best baritone mouthpiece for a pig. Approx grade 3 standard altho poor fingering technique at faster tempos

Don't the adverts here get valued on the amount of traffic the site manages to attract? On some sites I've been involved with the odd "controversial" thread that attracts some trolling and tantrums have been secretly encouraged by owners to get traffic up. It makes for plenty of white noise on other threads and subjects normally too, as less frequent visitors dip their toes into the water elsewhere on the forum.
Bob. You were mistaken. Whilst I may have been mumbling to myself the dog is a lurcher not a whippet. The whippet sadly passed away

I do wish that you would let this go.
As you are well aware, I didn't mean to kill your damn dog. And anyway, as you also know, the charges were dropped when the magistrate ruled that it is not an offence to drive a mobility scooter whilst smelling slightly of biscuits and tom cat.
I do apologise for mistaking the breed of your present hound. My eyesight is not much cop these days (due to cataracts by the way, not what you shouted at me in Court). If only my eye surgery hadn't been postponed perhaps poor old Lucky might still be with you. It might comfort you to know that I always feel that part of him is with me when I am out on the scooter, right up under the wheel arch I think.
I hope you are feeling better
