I need Knopfler!

The last weeks have been very stressful for me and it makes me very tired! I tried to relax, but that was hard because when one problem was almost solved the other came, especial at work!  I don

Fieneke - I am so sorry that you are not feeling your usual happy self at the moment.  I hope we can find some things to make you feel better!      I think there are a lot of worrying things happening at the moment for everyone, due to the world economic situation and that makes people feel under stress, plus it can feel a bit gloomy for those of us who are going into winter. 

 I can't do much about the economy, but I have been listening to a lot of the concerts I downloaded of the KTGC tour and that brings back many happy memories.     (I hope we will have another one soon - Maarten?)   The forum(s) have also been very quiet lately so we need some funny, drooly threads to get us through winter!  (Gayle?)   Please keep posting, Fieneke, we need your unique sense of humour at the moment!    I hope you will feel better very soon!  Val

Val, I think once this hairball election is over with, the Americans at least will feel more inclined to get silly in the threads again...if I never heard another thing political as long as I lived it would be too soon. Plus, of course, as you said, the monetary/economic issue...it's enough to drive people crazy. Levity, levity, levity! Somebody start a joke thread! (Nothing offensive, obviously.)

if all goes well joe brown will be up tonight val

[superval99]

Thanks Maarten, I look forward to that!

Today I have been busy with a biography of Mark and because I want to add video's, I was forced to watch many, many Youtube video's! .........That was a good medicin already and I hope to finish and post it this week at my site!

Jacki, you are right! I hope you feel well again too after your surgery!

I wrote a little parody of Industrial Disease a while back and sent it to some of the editors, does anyone still have it in their inbox? Seems it would be appropriate for this thread.

[Rollergirl]

I'd love to read that dusty!

Hi Fieneke
Hope this week goes better for you. I spent sometime this weekend looking for grammatical mistakes in MK liner notes. I finally found the 'its' problem in KTGC, but along the way it forced me to read MK's little songs a bit closer and a couple of songs where I had focused on the music now make more sense 

Best wishes

[Rollergirl]

jsd, did you find the other typo though?

I've been reading the lyrics too and found it very interesting to be concentrating on them without listening to the music. I'm off to read all the sleeve notes from the beginning!'


(edited to correct the spelling of beginning, thanks jsd. I have no excuse, only lazyness)

[superval99]

I found the "its" mistake in "Behind with the Rent" and another mistake in "Punish the Monkey" - second verse, second line "Are you going to to pretend", but it's really I typo, I think.

[je suis desole]

Yes, third stanza, first line of Behind with the Rent "This crumpet's past it's sell-by-date" should be - its.
Now, how did I miss the 'to to' in Punish the Monkey? But I think those are probably the mistakes the person on Guy's forum was talking about, unless there is a third?
I know next time if I see anything I'll be posting it right away and I'm sure I won't be the only one. I'll also have to rib Guy about misspelling the name of Canada's capital city. 

'beginning' Rollergirl - I am so much better at seeing other people's mistakes

[superval99]

I'm afraid Guy made another mistake on 2nd November replying to Al "it's design......."  I'll let him off though, because he's so good to us!

Thank you jsd, that is very nice of you! 

Quote Val: "I'll let him off though, because he's so good to us!"

I agree with that Val! Guy is a sweetheart or do I have to say a darling?  Sometimes I am not sure which word I should choose!     

I read about the "its or it's" word! My spelling sometimes gives me the its and sometimes the it's word! I don't know why, but I thought it might depend on which place in the sentence it stands, or which subject it has to do with! My grammar in English isn't so good, but I thought when you mean to say "it is" that you have to write "it's" ! 

Please correct me if necessary!

Fieneke

[superval99]

You are correct, Fieneke!
