I've just Eeed you. At least I think I have. I won't be sure until you reply. I just wanted you to know that. And another thing, this thread has already got more that 50 views. Are our private lives so important to those Nerdy Parkers?
And so I shall shout to all the world that, when I have time, I may add a few comments on the relevant threads about my two latest CD purchases by the lesser of the Jerrys (in your humble opinion). Intrada's 2010/2011 releases of FIRST BLOOD (which I'm not entirely crazy about, but I needed it to complete my bottlecap trilogy), and THE SAND PEBBLES (which is a brilliant score, but I will find something to quibble about).
... And another thing, this thread has already got more that 50 views. Are our private lives so important to those Nerdy Parkers?...
Ah, well, but you see, Graham, we others need to see if the two of you are discussing any of us ... we have our reputations to defend and wouldn't want any statement about us being taken as fact just because the said person has failed to read and contradict said statement.
So, I hope that's explained why there have been so many viewers...
Point taken, MM. Still, it is a sad reflection on today's navel-gazing society that this thread has now had more views than ZardozSpeaks' recent thread on Pavlov Nabokov's concert works in relation to early "anti-serialism" in Soviet propoganda documentaries. Although I'm sure in that case the paltry amount of views were just ZS checking his spelling a few times, and Tall Guy (the only other one interested) reading the post once or twice.
I’ll have another butcher’s at Zardoz’s thread but I don’t know if I’ll reply. I mean, would you engage in conversation with someone whose prejudiced opinions are so pathetically fixed that any exchange would end in acrimony? Well, neither would he.
Oh yes, I have often engaged in Zardoz's posts. I particulary like how he speaks to us as though addressing parliament - "Would the Right Honourable Graham Watt have perhaps less of a prediliction for scores to Hammer films had he been exposed to early-'50s Ingmar Bergman at the age of ten instead of to thousands of variants on mummies, vampires and Frankenstein monsters?"
In fact I think that Zardoz should step in here on this thread - we're already at 100 views.
For me, ive found the tension exciting. I mean TG asked the question and nobody heard from C K Watt for days, i mean, anything couldve happened to him??!
It was particularly odd because always at this time his spaneeesh man comes to taunt us potato heads on the world cup thread but hes been eerily quiet.
Kev - I tried your Eee address and got a "danger zone" flag from the satellite in the sky. If it's about Gil Mellé it's valid here. Just fire away. As are any questions about the restaurant chain Basil's Kitchen. I know all about that and him.
Which brings us nicely to Tall's original post. It was a mere clarification regarding Eee addresses. It wasn't about film music. If I may be indiscreet, TG had seen a packet of pimientos de Padrón in Waitrose and wanted to send me some in exchange for a few Goldsmith scores he secretly loves but cannot now express that here for fear of nutmeggism. Oh how he laughed when I told him that I live just across the road from the pimientos plantation! What I really wanted was Marmite. These things happen.
Bill - Spaneesh man I no see him for long time, he hiding his erect under many blankets, in the sheepish hope Spain win the big cup and he can be reunited with his beloved Sara... eight years after when that Iker bloke stole her from him. Or that's what he told me yesterday. In the bar. Honest.
Let's go for 200 views. ZardozSpeaks has been quiet. Perhaps it's just that he doesn't look at FSM every day, but I think he simply feels humilliated.
Listened to SAND PEBBLES all day. Brilliant score.
Graham. The Gil Melle question is about 'those we do not speak of' on this board. I saw some things on ebayUK and wondered if you had them or had heard them.
Graham, email me at kmag at blueyonder dot co dot uk
I can often be incredibly stupid. Is that a legit email address, Kev? I lied when I said I'd tried to contact you. As regards your later question, I do have some shin-high footwear, but not all that's available.
P.S. Just checked ebayUK... Interesting... Thanks.
Spent the whole of yesterday listening to THE SAND PEBBLES until I was well and truly sick fed up with it.

Marmite is so...marmite. Me, I love it, but others of course are more averse to it. A little like film music composers. And you know very well that there are Goldsmith scores that I feel are essential to have in the collection of any serious film music fan - and I've got them both.
