That's right.
There was a mini FSM get-together in the fayre olde towne of Lyverpool last night.
I finally got see the 'big fella' in the real world.
Myself and Tall Guy had a few drinks in town after work and fellow FSMer Roy Donga joined us to make sure things never got too Kevin Keegan/Billy Bremner wink
It was nice to have a 'proper' chat after all the years spent yapping in virtual land.

All mobile devices were handed in at the door (like Barter Town/Thunder Dome) so a good time could be had by all!

Thats code for They didnt want the wives to find them!

As you may have noticed, TG hasnt mentioned anything, so clearly he was less enamoured with your company than you with his Kev. He did text me to say you were bit boring, talked constantly about liverpool, droned on about your cruises and debated if you could nick the salt n pepper pots. He said a dull evening was rescued by the arrival of your mate Roy, who was knowledgeable on Ennio and interesting! wink

As tempted as I am to pretend that the meeting was completely in Kev's imagination, it DID happen (blimey, Thor, you sound like my Compliance Manager!) and the only yawns involved were from me this morning, getting home arounf 11pm from Liverpool and having to be up at 5am to get the train to London today.

If meeting Kev was a pre-arranged pleasure, meeting Roy was an unexpected one. My business appointment ended in time for me to be waiting for a while in the designated area, and I was having bets with myself as to whether any of the suspicious-looking scallies shuffling in my direction was the eighth (or whatever) McGann brother. Thankfully I lost all the bets until Roy emerged from HMV and introduced himself and we had a brief chat trying to establish where and when (and in fact if) we'd met before.

While said chat was happening, I was blind-sided by someone looking like a young Steven Gerrard, who I now know to be Kev. With characteristic scouse hospitality I was dragged to the nearest 'spoons, where modest amount of drink was taken, and a profuse amount of chat was had. I remain in awe of their knowledge and powers of recollection concerning releases, expansions, concerts and mutual acquaintances.

Speaking of which, if the ears of some of you gentle readers were burning last night - especially yours, Mr Carson - they absolutely should have been.

Aha! No. There's always something one forgets, isn't there smile
Thanks for the reminder...I will dig it out on arrival home tonight (not sure Roy's even reading this...he doesn't sully himself with this side of the board).

Damn TG i had him! I had that mcGann hook, line, sinker, rod and half an umbrella and waders, but you went and spoiled my ruse with your honest compliments!

Yeah all joking aside, two good guys there.

Ears burning? Thats sounds ominous.

We were at a corner table and regarded with envy by people wanting to join us but not quite having the nerve.

So, Chris, I finally gave a listen to JB's Love Among The Ruins last night (which wasn't on the Silva Walkabout CD or the 4 disc JB Silva collection that I have - apparently it's on the 6 disc Silva jobbie I don't have...thank JW for Spotify and YouTube).
Anyway, if I squinted and let my tongue loll out (and saluted), maybe (just maybe) I can hear what you're getting at regards Goldsmith and Carole Anne's Theme, but even then, it's so fleeting and the tempo and orchestration so much faster and varied that it's gone in an instant.
Certainly not Horner/Fielding/Conti alignment.
So, Jerry's still the BEST!!! wink

Spin, Kev, spin? Your own words, in the correct order, but without the caveats, digressions and tangential chuntering. You're welcome!
