  • What have you falsely claimed to have done?

I once convinced an absolute truncheon on GU called Gaetano Mosca that I’d had a night out with Al Pacino and Hilary Swank in British Columbia when they were shooting Insomnia (2002)

An absolute lie, of course. Al had better things to do. Robin did pop in for a quick one, however, and apparently went on to a full on alcoholic relapse after the shoot.

Absolutely nothing to do with me I assure you!!

Homegrove So you’re looking at about three hours a week watching something you’re not into. Grim. I couldn’t have done that with X Factor…

    zackster Very few of them mention that they get paid double or more for the Saudi gigs. Although, on the other hand you have Tories like Gou, who openly said ’fuck the people of those countries, I don’t care’.

        hugopal I’ve never read a single Hugo posts beyond two paragraphs and / or multiple links to things that no-one will ever click on.

            zackster I can’t tell now if you’re doing an up-is-down thing for all your posts in the thread.

            Regardless, his post is still absolute bollocks though.

                Amps not forgetting the not insignificant fact that Saudi Arabia took a 5% stake in Live Nation last year (of which the organisers of the Soundstorm festival are a subsidiary).

                It would not surprise me if a lot of the artists have effectively been blackmailed in to doing the gig under threat of losing many of their other lucrative Live Nation festival gigs.

                • Amps replied to this.

                    Along_the_Wire it must be one of the reasons why your ignorance never seems to fail to plumb new depths.

                    Given that, it’s also pretty remarkable how determined you are to so often disagree with what I’ve posted.

                        hugopal The problem is how boring your posts are. Thanks for keeping this one to two paragraphs - it’s genuinely appreciated.

                          hugopal Didn’t know that and yes absolutely… reckon that blackmailing would be ‘light’, just the suggestion that they could lose shows, but no actual paper trail.

                            hugopal assumed it was obvious that I am in fact a massive Jeff Mills fan. I’ve said he is the most gifted Dj of all time on countless occasions.

                                zackster I know that you’re a massive Jeff Mills fan, which is why given what you posted earlier in the thread it is then difficult to work out whether your second post about “nothing but respect for Jeff getting his Saudi bag!” comment was actually genuine or not.

                                    hugopal no no just trying to help juice Dave’s most recent cry for help.

                                      Smallman1 The Saudis would have hated Jeff’s set.

                                      They would have loved Dixon’s though.
