The North of England is treated much like Atlantic Canada when it comes to bands and gigs. I feel your pain my friend! Quote
henrybonzo Posted November 21, 2014 Author Posted November 21, 2014 except its only 200 miles from Manchester to London, nothing in North American speak Quote
chillumpuffer Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 The North of England is treated much like Atlantic Canada when it comes to bands and gigs. I feel your pain my friend! Oh it's worse than that C. This country is actually London and the rest. Take money for example. We have a Heritage Lottery Fund in this country. If it was a toss up for a local brass band from Doncaster or the arts in London - no brainer. Here's the cheque "Camden centre for arts from Tibet". The amount per head spent on transport in this country is hilarious. Take a look at this table: TRANSPORT SPENDING PER HEAD London - £2,731 South-east of England - £792 East Midlands - £311 West Midlands - £269 Yorkshire and Humberside - £201 North-west of England - £134 Eastern England - £43 South-west of England - £19 North-east of England - £5 Quote
chillumpuffer Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) except its only 200 miles from Manchester to London, nothing in North American speak A bit shy of that HB but it might as well be in Timbuktu. I just checked the Train costs: £226. I can fly to Portugal and back and have change for a few bottles of wine for that. Edited because as I typed the price has gone up by a tenner Edited November 21, 2014 by chillumpuffer Quote
Mook Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Having said all that, London is a bit of a sh*thole. Quote

Upstate New Yorker's are very resentful about that. Quote

Walter Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 They're always welcome to pay New York City taxes... (edited to add >) They certainly pay their share - especially considering how much fewer services, social and otherwise, are used upstate compared to the city. Either way, glad I live in the "Sunshine State"! Quote
ANONYMOUS Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 They certainly pay their share - especially considering how much fewer services, social and otherwise, are used upstate compared to the city. Either way, glad I live in the "Sunshine State"! City residents pay more, share more, and cost of living is much higher but I'm okay with that. it's a personal choice to live in an expensive city. I can accept the bad with the good. You should especially feel happy about Florida life today as curent NYC temp is 36 (feels like 25)!! Quote
Deborah J Posted December 2, 2014 Posted December 2, 2014 Very Brief - arrival at Waterstone's for the event:-) Quote

Daniel Posted December 3, 2014 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Thank you very much for posting the video Deborah J! Sometimes, it must be pretty hard being Jimmy Page, he shook three different peoples hands in that short walk and seemed to have a smile on his face for each of them--what a nice guy!! Edited December 3, 2014 by Daniel Quote
60blues Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 I really don't have a problem with any of his choices. It's really none of our business. Whatever he does in his personal life , as long as he is happy and enjoying himself, who are we to judge? Last I heard.. the same scenario worked out just fine for Eric Clapton...and fwiw...I am a woman. Quote
feather in the wind Posted December 9, 2014 Posted December 9, 2014 kudos to Jimmy for sharing the company of a younger woman. i have NO problem with that whatsoever Quote
henrybonzo Posted December 9, 2014 Author Posted December 9, 2014 so did anyone actually go or are we here to talk about some random bird? Quote
kashmein Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Wait until 2015 yes I've waited and once again nothing happened....hold mo jimmys just said new band for 2016! Once again won't hold my breath for a tour Quote
in_the_evening Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 I don't like the whole "book stamping" thing. It's just me, but for God's sake, you can't be bothered to SIGN a freakin book live everyone else does? A stupid stamp??? Quote

It's just me, but for God's sake, you can't be bothered to SIGN a freakin book live everyone else does? A stupid stamp???Jimmy isn't the only one who has done a book stamping instead of a book signing. In this case, some consideration was given to the fact the Genesis book was originally offered to collectors as a very expensive signed limited edition. How would you like to be someone who paid top dollar for an original, only to have the book republished and signed for free en mass a few years later? Quote

Mithril46 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Perhaps because Jimmy doesn't play guitar anymore(???) his hands or fingers have literally frozen upand from arthritis, tendinitis, blah, blah he actually cannot sign books anymore. All things are possible.Why not just a fingerprint, fully backed up by Scotland Yard ?? HA HA. Quote
