Ok OK - I'm clearly an oversensitive nutter - that must be why they call me madsaz.
Richard - sorry I had interpreted the comment as deeply sarcastic. I deleted the content because when I read it in light of what I believed your comment to mean it did seem far too bouncy and tiggeresque. I do tend to get a bit overenthusiastic!
By core I mean that a central group of people on here know each other - not just on the net but real "old fashioned" relationships. So when you are an "outsider" you can join in threads but feels a bit ignored, as the conversations go on around you. I posted to try and see if I could fit in more by making myself known.... I guess that little hissy fit will make me a little higher profile!!
So, anyway. I am a hyperactive, quick thinking, quick typing, not usually that oversensitive cornet player from Ashton Band. I will blame the outburst on sleep deprivation (work and rehearsals!!)
I played in Stalybridge B Band for many years, joining British Aerospace on front row aged 16. I then gave up for a few years to go off to university, become a doctor and take on too many other commitments.
I started playing again this year - so really enjoying my playing and like one of those new antismoking nazi's who have just given up - obsessive!!
I built a duff website for the band....
www.ashtonband.co.uk (check out the photo gallery of doom - link at the bottom of front page).
I work in a teaching hospital in manchester, am squeezing in a long distance masters degree in education and I am a Karaoke queen.
I will be making everyones ears bleed at Pontins but there will be no more outbursts! INcidentally, I wont be playing at Pontins now, so will be able to make even more of a nuisance of myself!
Sorry for being grumpy!
