All we have on here is the words on a screen, if you post shit, expect it to be thrown back at you.


precisely.

again, donna's question was a reasonable one. Cheesy is just permanently unable to back up what she posts. because it's student poetry bollocks.
 
Dammit I just broke rule 10.

Donna's question was more of a demand to bow to the rules of the ancient and wise Ferentes who knows all and is right about eveerything all the time.

No.

Donna's question simply asked how the album fulfilled cheesy's claim of doing this:

The Piper is an icon that says do what you believe in, however impossible or even ridiculous it may seem.

please tell me why you think this was a demand to bow to his "ancient and wise" rules.

In what way does it do this?

It's a typically leading question to which there will be no correct answer to -until Donna decides so.

Donna's question was there to lead into an argument and allow the bashing to begin. She made a fairly good stab at answering it, at which point all the usual Cheeesey bashing began. Dub with tons of swearing and Donna with his turgid moaning.

actually, you dopey bitch, i own an original vinyl copy of this album and two different CD reissues. I've been listening to it for almost 25 years and it's a big favourite.
:D You like it more, you've liked it longer.

Cheesy wins this particular exchange, I think.

i wasn't really trying to pull weight, as such. i just really fucking resent the idea - implicit in most of cheesy's posts - that she's the only person who's heard / likes / probably understands these things.
 
It's becuase she seemingly thinks she should be allowed to post up endless pretentious drivel without anyone picking her up on it. Her arrogance at times is breathtaking.

Yup.


Now who do I PM? :D

Well, not really. She screamed "troll" straight away and had a fit: her justifications were mediocre (apparently Grahame and Barrett both use assonance and alliteration, unusually for writers and lyricists).

The point is, the OP had the manner and content of a teenage swoon. I don't have much time for that. It also made pretentious and overblown claims and my experience is that when people do that, as they commonly do in this field, they absolutely cannot handle being asked to justify them. This is because we're supposed to say "oh, Cheesypoof, you're so brilliant and sensitive!" But she's not.

it's simpler than that. The album takes its title from Wind In The Willows, cheesy decides this means there's a deeper stylistic link.
guess what? there isn't.

What utter, utter baseless romantic teenage tosh you come out with, Cheesy. You deserve everything you get on a thread like this
 
never heard it or heard of it until this thread. if it's anything like the other pink floyd i've heard i won't be rushing out to buy it. ot rushing home to downlaod it. or do anything at all to go out of my way to hear it.
 
Donna Ferentes said:
Which we needed to be told, as well.

In late news: Bob Dylan much influenced by Woody Guthrie.


well as i said, cheesy operates in this permanent belief that only she KNOWS, only she UNDERSTANDS, only she LIKES.

it's a very very good album. don't let cheesy's nonsense put you off.

Incidentally, did you know that Candy And A Currant Bun was usually performed as Let's Roll Another One?


i used to be friends with Pete Jenner's daughter, knew Pete a bit. So i got to hear some right rare old stuff - unreleased demos and the like. Excellent stuff. Early versions of Interstellar, things like that.

Of course, i didn't GET them :)
 
I'm torn between thinking that Cheesypoof's a 'witty' construct by some teenage bloke somewhere, designed to wind people up by talking pretentious twaddle wrapped up as special insight

Or perhaps Cheesy really is this delusional, arrogant and downright strange.

I'm not sure which is worse to be honest. Either way and I'm bored of this nonsense being endlessly recycled. It's hardly as though Cheesy doesn't know what type of reaction she's going to receive for posting this kind of self-aggrandising drivel.

did you get that from a PM? :)

or do you have a single post to back it up?

or are you a clueless dick? :D


I clicked on your name and then clicked 'find all posts by Dubversion' :p

(my PM box is full, I am reading them as fast as possible and while I can't answer all individually i would like to say thanks for all the support)
