This is in response to the argument going on in the Japanese thread.
There's nothing wrong with posting better quality versions of previously posted pics. I mean, as long as it shows Judas Priest in action, and it's a good pic, then that's great! If there's a better version of it, then that's great, too. The more, the merrier. There is no money gained when posting pics of Judas Priest on the Noticeboard. It should be about appreciation for the greatest band in the world, not for feeling inferior just because someone always has a better version of what's been posted. I enjoy seeing the JP pics that both Simon and Maple post (or anyone, for that matter). I hope you two settle your differences soon. Edited at: Saturday, June 05, 2010 11:42:44 AM |

I have to say that I am very sorry things are the way they are here these days. The regulars know why I am scarce. I really love (MOST of) you and I do miss you. In a rather fair amount of pain today as we had a show last night. I will post a few shots on the "WEB POLICE" thread for Bud's sake very soon. Anyway, if there is any justice in this world, things will improve and we will see old friends chatting again and life will be good.
** On another note, all of us UCLA alumni and the UCLA family in general mourn the loss of the GREATEST college coach in history; John Wooden, who passed away yesterday at age 99. I was never fortunate enough to actually meet the man, although he did speak regularly during my years in school. Looking back, it was rather foolish of me to miss an opportunity to listen to such a great, great man. I saw him once, from a distance. I suppose THAT will count for something in life... Sleep well, "Coach". |

Awww there's the love! I've been out and about all day, we went and visited my sister. We went to a creole style restaurant for lunch in Wellington, where she lives (NZ's capital city) and I tried beignets for the first time, yum! LOL!

Yeah, our group will be tough, NZ have already been written off by many, but I think we will cause problems for those teams. England does have a tradition of getting eliminated early, so you guys could well cause an upset I'm looking forward to the friendly against you guys this weekend, we're getting up early on saturday morning to watch it.

Yup. Youre playing against us. We will see - I dont know much about your team, but its a match between two teams who qualified for the cup, so no opponent will be easy.

As you say, here's hoping. You will certainly be in my thoughts, Joe. Been in many a country when the politics just went south in a big way. Strangely enough, it is usually around a major event like the WC or the Olympics. Sending good vibes your way that it not only calms down but STAYS calm.

You're gonna love it. The DVD surpasses Rising in the East in that matter. So many close-up shots of Scottie!!! You'll even get to see the camera that looks into the drumkit where the man sits!

Ah, KEWL, Joe! Do keep us posted as to any pertinent "inside" info on the games. I am one of a handful of Americans who actually enjoys watching the WC. Alas, like ice hockey, they really don't televise much (if any) of the games here. Sometimes I luck out and can see it on the Spanish channels but it is hit-or-miss.
Speaking of "miss," I noticed and missed ya! Wondering about the political situation, in fact. Things calm down, I hope? Take care of yourself and the family.
