A typical Guy reply!   ;D   He could just have meant, that yes, this is rehearsal week or, being on the optimistic side, yes, a new song!    :)

Another detailed and interesting response from Guy!  ::)  He probably meant yes, see you in Antwerp.

Interesting to see Guy's most detailed answer of the last few days is about tea.   ::)
I wouldn't pay any attention to minor subjects such as setlists, tour, next release, rehearsals ...

well, tea is a fascinating subject and one he can speak freely about. Ask him anything about his work and you will get a detailed answer. When it's about Mark's, he's not in charge...Simple as that. We are spoiled to have him, yet, we always want more (and by "we" I mean "we", not just you tunnel)

You know him so well, Mrs. President...  ;D


In fact I was just about to write nearly the same post as Tunnel85: Guy's longest answer about tea. Funny guy.
I also liked the translated Portuguese answer lately. And the question was as rough and direct as we are used to hear them from all those folks from Brasil... Funny thing, how comes that every querie from over there is somewhat ... harsh? It can't only be a translation problem, or what do you think?

 ;D, well, I AM the President, just doing my job  ;D

I think it's a translation thing and also a cultural thing, Brazilians seem to have a more direct style than the Europeans or the Americans. Do we have any Brazilians on this forum who could enlighten us?

NO, the Dutch are the LOUD ones, and the FRIENDLY ones, I know for sure, I have plenty of them in my book store every day...

And the Dutch people generally speak better English than almost all other Europeans I came across - apart from the English spoken people of course..
ahm... you get my point...

I think its something related to the latin character, and its something very difficult to control, specially for some people. It happens to people of some South american, Spain, Italy and probably other countries with latin roots. We are warm people, and speak very straight, direct to the point and sometimes using a vocabulary that can be considered as rude, but its not intended to be rude, an example:

You see a friend and you wave him like this: "Whats up, son of the b*tch?" And its not you are insulting him, is just like saying "what a great guy are you, whats new?" I know it sounds strange, but its true  :)

As a spanish, I learnt how to control my manners when writing and talking in english, as its important to learn that english is generally speaking a more polite language, and generally, non latin people are more polite as well. Thats what happens with brasilians, for example, they go straight to the question and with manners that are considered as rude to the rest of the people, but sometimes is not rudeness, its just the way they talk. I see it in many questions sent by many spanish fans, some of them are asking in the direct way, putting them on risk of being rude, and some learnt how to write in a more polite way, thinking not in you as the "writer" but in the "readers" of your message.

Anyone understood anything I said?  ;D
You might get lucky, now and then
