MPG1770

Morning after night before...... Firstly, I would like to thank you all for your words of comfort and express that in times like this, there is still hope for humanity. Secondly, I try as a person not to wallow in self-pity - in the immortal words of the Monty Python team, Always look on the bright side of life. If anyone can make light of this situation, surely it has to be me - just got to get myself a wooden leg and a parrot. I will keep you updated after my hospital appointment tomorrow. I beg of you - please, do not speak of this in game, I do not want to put a downer on an activity that brings enjoyment into our lives. . Thank you all for being understanding. Be at peace

I hope you never come across anyone who wavers any form of blade across your face. Here in the UK, I am relieved I don't have to rely on Medicare.

Life should always be about the creation of of beauty - you have to find that within yourself, then let that beauty permeate with everyine you come across in life, especially those who you regard as adversaries, for in that beauty that surrounds your life, they will eventually see and behold beauty.

Quite easily, for I able to create beauty within myself and create beauty in all people who happens to cross my path .

No. Please Jackie, although I can concur with with your sentiment, we have to be greater than that - in the immortal words of Mahatma Ghandi, "an eye for an eye, then the whole world would be blind". My motto in life is, "fogiveness is the best form of of revenge". Peace

The situation can only ne described as a 'terrorist' attack as the taxi driver held a machete against my throat. In that situation, what would you do? (Rhetoric question) - - I doubt if anyone would care about losing money in this situation.

I am not posting this for sympathy whatsoever,..... I have just returned home after performing my debut piano concerto and was assaulted and robbed by the taxi driver. I have just come out of hospital, I am now blinded in my right eye. The damage is so severe, the surgeon has said that it is not possible to repair, and the best course of action is to have the damaged eye removed. This will mean that i will have to undergo 6 weeks of intensive analysis before surgery. This is probably for another board, but all I want to say is that I am grateful that here in the UK we have National Health System.

I don't need the app., I haven't got a mobile and no, I don't want one.

What?! Is there no sanctuary left for men to escape the indominable berating from the fairer sex?

Warned you on several occasions not to rush, but you continued to ignore my request. However, you are now unbanned. DON'T do it again.

Sry, you were mistaken for someone else - btw it was only a 5 min ban. Hard enough at times when there are so many voices - I apologise again.

Will do a video at some point to upload to youtube, but you can listen here: http://soundcloud.com/peter-magic-fingers/techno-2011 For something a bit more relaxing - try this Trio for Piano, Violin & Cello

Trust me, you don't want to hear my singing!!!!!!!!!! Download is free, all I ask is for you to leave comment on Youtube channel - thanks.

Thanks Jackie.

I quite enjoy techno, have composed and performed in many clubs (give me a couple of days & I'll post some). The main problem I have, is with the banality of music the record industry imposes on society (just to make money for themselves) makes it difficult for any artist to thrive outside the commercialised culture.

Has to be unbanned by the big boss - don't worry it will soon be sorted, sry for the inconvenience.

That's ok, but don't do it again, next time it will be a 1 day ban.

Sry, was meant to be a ban for 5mins for rushing, forgot to put the 5 in - I had told everyone on numerous occasions not to do so.

MPG is usually last to load in when I play with him. Don't know about his PC, but its probably his distance that does it. Most times after loading in every1 is already at the saferoom lol, then when next round starts 99.9% of times I have lost my spot. Proabably is due to distance, being across the 'Pond' (the Great Lakes must be a 'puddle' compared to the Pond}. I'd be a tester Jackie.

Left 4 Dead is to zombies as Talpa is to what? Mouldy old dough - Lieutenant Pigeon If Talpa was an ediible food (and I thought it was a mexican dish lol) what would he be?

In Dark Carnival you always, 'Send in the Clowns' Sondheim Why can't Talpa ever get to the safe saferoom?

Running Scared - Roy Orbison When does Talpa never cheat?

You certainly brighten up the boards lol - welcome.

Who have we never forgotten about? My Father - This Mortal Coil (think it's worthy of a post) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea8azaTx9VI What is beauty?

Thanks all for the compliments. The problem with most R&B, House etc is usually that the majority of the time there are no musicians (especially percussionists/drummers) it's all done by machine, Turntables; but even that is a mockery as most of studio work required to produce around 75% of the tracks is done on a computer using fruity loops software, a far cry from it's birth in the 1940s. btw, composing & performing is my life & career.
