I am about to go food shopping.. (I have an exciting life - what a thing to do on a saturday night!) and my teenage children want to come with me..... it's gonna be expensive.....


....teenage children want to go shopping? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) With a parent? Must tell my brother - he must be training my nephews wrongly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Perhaps you could ask your brother how he trained his nephews. As ClariNicki says, it's cheaper without them (and usually quicker too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ).

...yeah my husband decided to come too...He's the worst of the lot! it cost about ?40 more than usual! They love food shopping! So much cheaper without them!

My older nephew (17) is fairly laid back, not fashion obsessed, and generally not an issue. Younger nephew (16 very soon) is

a) the musician, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
b) instant expert (just add water) on anything, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
c) fashion/trend obsessed about having the "right" stuff.

Brother is unimpressed (I laugh as I seem to remember having a 15 year old younger brother who wanted latest fashions in the 70s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) )

I've just been on Dave's website (the TV channel, not just some random guy called Dave!) and at the bottom of one page they had an advert for bow hold buddies! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Do they regard Dave viewers as being really keen on the violin or could it be because of my browsing history?

This from another thread (thought it would be more appropriate to continue in this one)

Would be good to play this at a concert or an adult learners event, oh hang on I'm in that part of the UK that everyone else outside of it despises as a working class hellhole. So none of those of course.

...and from happy to distinctly not happy in one post (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) As someone who's been heavily involved in these events over the years, I find that comment rather off-putting : you clearly don't have the slightest clue how much effort I and many other forum members spend putting on these gatherings across as much of the UK as we can manage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)


Adult learner events are organised whereever there is the demand for them. And quite rightly so. It would be totally pointless to organise them in areas such as this as only one person (myself) would turn up. My comment Barry was NOT intended as a criticism for the wonderful events yourself and katyjay and sbhoa organise in your respective parts of old Albion.


OK, apology accepted. There are more people than you in Birmingham/the West Midlands who'd be interested, by the way. But please be careful how you word things like that in the future : it was not your most shining moment on the forum!


Really, Barry?? I am most surprised and curious to learn of that!!! Please elaborate.

I still have my comment slips from then, and there are ten of them, so plus me that is at least eleven attendees. This is presuming that everyone wrote me a comment, which they might not have done. I seem to remember people coming from London and Cornwall, amongst other places attending the event, as well as those closer to Brum.

No, definitely Birmingham, UK! I believe that people will come to events anywhere, as long as they are well organised, with enough notice. Playing with other people is one of the most enjoyable things about music, and the power of this shouldn't be underestimated. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Was a good day. I took all the application forms in for this, and there appeared to be 22 participants, of whom over half were Midland based, but only five or six were what you might call 'local to Lee King', judging by your previous posts, Lee.

But in Lee King speak (without of course revealing your location), you're not a local... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
