Gemmill

Nice Wikipedia work, Happy Face.

Silly person. There are no peas in it. It's named after Albert Pea, its creator. 42906[/snapback] Sounds rank whatever is or isnt in it tbh. 42909[/snapback] Says the man from the land of barm cakes.

Did you have to actually work? 42570[/snapback] Yes and I intent to take the matter to a tribunal. 42574[/snapback] Dear, dear me Scott, is that bad spelling I see before me? That one can't even be put down to a mis-type, unless you've got fat fingers of course! 42644[/snapback] Here man, it was a mistype you IT nerd - I know how to spell intend. At least I can spell definitely correctly on a regular basis.

Well it was also the 2003/4 season and it was looking good. We'd just signed Woodgate and we were playing well. But yeah, the rent in London for our flat and my studio was £1200 a month so it was time to get out! I also love the countryside up here and the people, though there does seem to be more anti-southern feeling, I'm guessing because of people buying property? 42604[/snapback] Not sure about the anti-Southern thing - I know I work with people from all over Europe and the world, and they're all more than welcome here as far as I'm concerned.

Well I gave up my season ticket....! I live quite cheaply with my wife. No pubs, no restaurants gave up smoking, few holidays, cheap car etc. We used to spend a fortune going out in London but it became a case of working to pay for our social lives. To be honest though we have a great time doing our own thing. It'll wear thin in time but the idea was to come up here so I could write. I make backing tracks for a karaoke company for quids. It sounds shit but you actually have to recreate the track from scratch, there's no machine... It's like doing a reproduction of a painting, you still have to be able to paint. I also do a bit of TV music through a mate in London, but I don't control how much work I get as it all comes from him. I did do a stint playing covers up here but the money's not great and the venues were less than wonderful. I don't worry about living cheque to cheque. You kind of get used to it and I know people with careers who are just as worried but they have even greater financial responsiblities. There you go. 42593[/snapback] Cheers. Interesting stuff. So was the move up here a cost-of-living motivated thing? And you're right about the cheque to cheque thing - I earn decent enough money and every time I get a pay rise I convince myself it's going to leave me so much better off per month, but you just adjust your spending accordingly and before long I'm twisting about how I need more cash etc.

Carrick's injured, but I'd agree otherwise. Had a little argument with a friend, who was trying to convince me Jenas "carried" the team. He then went on to say he's such a good player because he was "amazing" in America, and at Forest when he was a teenager. The statement suggesting he carried the team was pretty funny considering he was on the bench a lot of last season, because he wasn't good enough to get into the team. And Bowyer, who was starting regularly, is the worst midfielder in England, apparently. 42592[/snapback] Smoggie lad I know tried to tell me we sold our best player when Jenas went. Tit.

Gee thanks! 42581[/snapback] Well if that's how you're gonna treat your fans.... 42582[/snapback] I'm not after "fans". That particular aspiration disappeared when I was 24/5. It wouldn't suit me now, and I'm not hungry for it. (If I was ever good enough anyway). As for songwriting, well that's about longevity. I hope the publishers like what I'm writing. If not, I'll write some more. 42584[/snapback] Serious question (and you can tell me to mind my own business): how do you survive financially between getting stuff published? I've no idea how much getting something published pays, but are you left living paycheque to paycheque and under constant pressure to come up with something saleable, or can you make money from session work in between getting stuff published? Just interested as to how the whole thing works. 42587[/snapback] You want to do his accounts, don't you? 42589[/snapback] I'm a company accountant man. I deal only in billions.

Stick them up on here, Chesney. We'll review them for you.

Did you have to actually work? 42570[/snapback] Yes and I intent to take the matter to a tribunal.

Things got a bit busy at work and I missed out on this one.

No not really. It's a way of putting together some songs to try and get younger or established acts to cover them. 42329[/snapback] S-Club Juniors tbh.

So you tried but gave up? 42315[/snapback] No I'm writing an album too. You know. Living the dream. 42316[/snapback] Cool, let's swap mp3s when we're done and encourage each other. Everyone starts as a nobody, so I have as much of a chance as anyone! 42318[/snapback] Groovy brother. I'm away to lay down a groove. 42319[/snapback] Is that a euphemism for having a shit? 42322[/snapback] Sounds more like a wank tbh. 42324[/snapback] Jealous of my rock and roll lifestyle tbh. 9-to-5-ers.

Good luck. 42301[/snapback] Fuck off you patronising wanker 42304[/snapback] Fuck off you dull loser 42306[/snapback] *Emaj7*

Fuck off.... As I said in that thread, if you had a problem with the person in particular, PM them.... 42275[/snapback] Excuse me? 42285[/snapback] Go forth and multiply... Stop being such a cock-end! 42289[/snapback] Fuck off and ban me then you sad cocksucker. This forum is shite and you know it........ 42290[/snapback] Posts like this by you should really be accompanied by some situational music - you could even write it. I can just see you storming across the room, slamming the door behind you, picking up your guitar and playing an E minor to punctuate your little hissy fit.

I respect anyone who tries hard whatever they do. I was suggesting that the people taking the piss were diverting attention away from their own insecurities. My friends work in offices and they enjoy what they do. I respect them and they respect me. 42276[/snapback] So what you're saying then is that you are the one and only?

No, I wanted to be a musician. I am one. What's your point? If I was a footballer I'd be playing for a conference side: not the top of my profession, but making a living. Are you trying to tell me we have world leaders and captains of industry on this board? 42264[/snapback] It amuses me that you spend your time on here mocking other people for having 9 to 5 jobs and "dull lives", whilst you sit about playing your guitar and writing an album that people might never hear. Good luck with it, but if I was you I wouldn't take the piss out of other people's jobs until you've had some success in your chosen profession.

Can't get enough of it mate.

Ahem, you started for which reason? 42245[/snapback] No. You started attention seeking. I just pointed it out. 42249[/snapback] Nice logic. 42252[/snapback] Someone cut off an already-established attention-seeking avenue for you when they closed the other thread. So you opened up another one for that purpose. Works for me like.

It's sounding pretty cool thanks. Why does it bother you? Are you doing what you always dreamed of? I am, now fuck off and sort out your life! 42250[/snapback] You always wanted to be a failed musician submitting radio jingles and writing an album that no one will touch? You should show a bit more ambition mate.

Ahem, you started for which reason? 42245[/snapback] No. You started attention seeking. I just pointed it out.

More attention seeking from Chesney.
