CS being China Southern? ;-)

Yes, but at least it gives me something to do while waiting for that flag lol.

Understand OD... but that doesn't stop me from hounding them :-D

Yes, I understand that OD, although Guangzhou in the south is less prone to such poor visibility... as I mention above, the delay is one thing, but literally running away and leaving your customers to arrange accommodation for the night/ temporary visas etc, is unforgiveable.

I was all for them being a sponsor back then, but that was before my last trip with them in 2012. I can understand an airline having delays, but when they refuse to take any responsibility and leave the passengers in a lurch, they lose me completely.

I would not be surprised to see Kirk head our way at some point, if he proves himself at Freo.

No, screw 'em... I will ask the MFC to have a word with them about some form of compensation ;-)

Yes, the two passengers flying on stolen passports purchased their tickets through the partner China Southern somewhere in Thailand (Phuket?). The airline failed to run a check against the international database that contains records of all passports reported stolen (aparently this is a very common oversight by many airlines/countries).

One thing is for certain... regardless of them being our new sponsor, there is absolutely no way known that I will ever fly with those a-holes ever again after my experience with them when I took my son to the US... three of four flights were delayed, with the only on-time leg being the return from Guangzhou to Sydney. On teh way, the flight left Sydney 2 hours late, the leg from Guangzhou to L.A was cancelled and the counter staff literally ran off leaving us to fend for ourselves and the leg from L.A back to Guangzhou was roughly 4 hours late. After repeated contact with the airline, they refused to take any responsibility or accountability. They are the absolute pits!

Will do... expecting to have the clip completed some time in April, but only if the guitarist can get time away from his day job (he makes long bows and trains actors to look convincing in their use - working on shows like Game of Thrones, Eragon, Braveheart, Robin Hood etc).

I'm in the same boat.

Sometimes I think this site should be re-named "Pavlov's Kennel"

Locked and loaded.

I liked early Yes, but they eventually seemed to run out of ideas and I'm afraid Jon Anderson's voice, as good as it was, started to grate a little. Steve Howe was a hell of a guitarist though. I was always more of a King Crimson/Robert Fripp fan myself when it came to that era.

I would be happy if he re-signed. Semantics, you just gotta love 'em!

To be honest, that heavy/death metal isn't my cup of tea (Ministry is about as close as I get), but you guys really do a great job of it. Can't fault it! I finished recording a single in January with an old guitarist (we were in a band together in 1979) who lives in Norwich in the UK... he recorded the music with his 24y.o son who played drums and did the recording engineering... they sent me a guide track and I made a vocal track in Garageband on my MacBook, sent it back and they completed the mix. Just waiting for the guitarist to complete a clip to throw up on YouTube and then it will be ready to share (clip is being made the same way with me sending my vids via DropBox and he mixing it all together with his vids). We also plan to put the song up on iTunes.

It had the same affect on me too OD... that story had a happy ending, but sadly for every one of those there are probably dozens that don't end well.

What can one say? Vale Dean.

I like to think that this could be a metaphor for (no, I don't have a stutter) the MFC... http://www.viralnova.com/shocking-dog-transformation/

I think he was slightly concussed after his collision with a Hawks player on the weekend.

"There's Something About Richard".... we got a bleeder!!

Sounds like someone already did.

So, does anyone have any further reports on the Casey game or can direct me to somewhere that does?

Hey mono, my comment and "yawn" was directed at Mr White... nothing to do with our performance, but plenty to do with the predictability of many on Demonland.

And so it begins... yawn
