New Members - Spread Bet

Supplementary question, how many of the above will either

a) never post again after the initial question b) get abusive and cocky when someone yawns as a reply......?

Just getting into practice:D

Well, to take the bait, one could argue that US fans of New Order are in fact the more resolute fans...

We care about the band despite having few to none chances to ever see them live, despite not having easier access to any media about them, and despite being musical heathens in a warmongering nation obsessed with country-western and hiphop music...

You think it is hard being a New Order fan in Britain? Try America...

We American New Order fans have to WORK for our allegiance.

And thus, yes, we all go a bit apesh*t wondering if they will tour North America.... sorry about that. And apologies in advance for the new teen fans in the States who develop an interest in New Order, find this website via google, and wonder aloud if they will get to ever see them live in their lifetimes... (an older US fan like myself who has seen them 6 times, which is a lot for an American, can only applaud such newbie passion... I mean, isn't it cool to know that New Order still generates interest, even in other countries???)

And thus, yes, we are GRATEFUL to have a great website like this...

Cause WE are not spoiled... :p

Given that NO appeared on that Iraq charity lp which also featured well known enemy of the state Cat Stevens (not to mention their choice of song on said album), they'll probably be refused entry by the INS anyway. Gives them an excuse for their laziness at least.

Boy, we American's get a bad rap, don't we? Well, I'll refrain from asking if they will appear in the U.S. and will also refrain from getting abusive! Wouldn't want to have to get the U.N. involved, now would we? I do apologize on behalf of abusive people whether from teh U.S. or other... not getting to see NO live can do that to a person... :p

Will NEW ORDER be playing TATTON Community Centre this time round cos i find it very difficult travelling THESE DAYS?

Originally posted by Jeff Mick, they will be doing a series of gigs at KFC!!!

Yeah Mick...... where you can "get down"!!!

:bag:

i have it on good authority that they wont be able to play tatton comunity centre as the magistrates in chorley have refused to give them a temp licence to sell beer. APPLEJACKS however has been offered up as an alternative venue.

I'm gonna pick on them becuase their gonna be NOOL Noobies and its gonna be fun to bash them

Don't I know it. I drove 5 hours through heat and dust storms and very little sleep just to see them the one time I've been able to see them....and had to put up with people screaming "OUTKAST!!!!OUTKAST!!!" through the last half of the set. Then I had to put up with Outkast...they're much better in the studio. But through all that trouble, I was very happy to finally see them, even though the set was too short, I was almost 30, and had been wanting to see them since I was 14.

How many get pissed off with people who don't have proper lives/jobs so giving them enough time to post 9000+ posts & believe they know everything about NO/JD Just because they've done so. Heh?

Yes, I am talking about you (& others).

Picking on newbies is sad. Pretty pointless too; after all, we were all new once!

Criticising people for being naive is, obviously, your problem. Thinking you're god's gift, seems to be another.

I suggest you read the community standards btw... there are rules to respect on this website.

Yes, it's getting boring for most regulars when you see the same questions always come back after a little while, but that's life, new people come here and don't always know everything.

Hi

Just did: Respectfulness – We expect our member to show respect for others. Respecting their person, their musical tastes, their time and their opinions – even if you disagree with them.

I believe He is contravening the above.

apart from the same one, what am I guilty of?

In recent months there's been a posts, like this one, that contain pompousness & arrogance. From people who've post many times, & just because of this, think they know every little fact about NO. They then get critical & throw a girly tantrum when it's pointed out that, in fact, that they don't. A recent example being the Kevin Hewitt threads.

Please read Miss D.'s response.

(sic)?

Dave, I think you've missed the in-joke a bit here. Almost every time somebody starts a new thread with their first post on the site, someone (who shall remain nameless but isn't me) responds by advising them that the subject matter already exists on x number of threads already. Sometimes this meets with an arsey response from the new poster, sometimes it doesn't.

At no stage of my posting this intended joke thread was there any attempt to be pompous, know-all or any of the other charges you want to level at me, it was simply that, a joke that those who have been here a while would be in on. Surely that isn't a crime or a breach of any of the terms of use of the site?

For the record, seeing as you raised it, I have an excellent job that pays me very well, a full and happy life, and have learned a lot more from my colleagues and friends on here than I would ever have learned had I stayed in isolation away from this community. I have 9500 posts because I have made quite a significant contribution to the development of this community, helping those who run the site and other contributors to fill in the gaps with the benefit of involvement with the JD/NO scene stretching back over 25 years. I wish I did know it all, I'd write a book about them!

The Holy Trinity - US tour, Life Aquatic and "Where's Gillian?"

This place wouldn't be the same without it...

He's probably just jealous Shug

What a strange stance to take Dave , at a certain figure you feel a person lacks a life or is perhaps sad ?

For myself I've almost put 12 months in , I remember hittin 100 posts 'cos I got a few congrats from other nools, I'd never been on one of these forum sites before and was a tad unsure about how to react , so I remembered what me Ma had taught me and said cheers , cos Ma says it's nice to be nice , I hit the 666 post and I was accused by one of the colonials of satanism or somesuch crime , Ma has never had to give out any advice about the ettiquete of dealing with colonials with a Matthew Hopkins bent , so I stuck with her initial advice and said cheers ... with some reservations . I hit a 1000 and didn't realise , not to worry , my new friends in this on-line community , pointed it out and agaain I remembered Ma's advice etc .

The point is Dave , I never felt sad or worthless , employment wise I please me fuckin self , a position I can afford 'cos I worked like a cunt for a few years , which often made me feel sad , but never sad in the definition you favour , so I post when I want .

So , at what point and figure does one hit sad ?

Or , and I'm just fuckin guessin here , do you have to be a bit fuckin insecure in the first place , do you have to worry about someone else thinkin your sad and as a result join that doctrine or mindset before they take the piss ? Now a fella who thought like that would be very sad , critical even .

And at the risk of blowin smoke up some of the founder members and contributors arses ( cos most of em are cunts ), I think they've done a great job keepin this place alive ... even without a fac number The site survives on it's contributions / postings , even the ones I or you may find offensive , or do not ' get '

And anyway , Timbo deletes posts too , the true figure is anyones guess , and so what ?: The bloke promotes the site , I assume you aint his boss ( in which case tims count is showin in error ) so that aint your problem and very occasionaly he says nice things to people .... however at heart he probably is a cunt :p Though I doubt he's a nasty cunt .

That's the last time I defend you old timers bytheway , pleasant as it was :moon:

Will GILLIAN be touring or have i missed something.Gosh i don't like this employment LARK.Boss said if i do any WORSE they will keep me till after XMAS.I need an excuse NOT to buy pressies AGAIN this year.Telling the kids(even though one is 26 he still believes in SANTA,well it can't be his DAD cos he ain't MET him)that SANTA is dead just is so CRUEL.Bit like SCROOGE or SANTA SHUGZV i will promise the earth and deliver NOTHING.So stick your XMAS LISTS and peace to all AMERICANS.Just cos BOWIE is afraid of YOU i ain't.You never attacked PLANET ROCKET.Now what are we debating.Oh yes...FAC 53,-THE ITALIAN ONE.That's what i want for XMAS folks! Rocket Mick HARD DAZE IN THE GROTTO

I think Dave that you should perhaps pay a little more attention. My overwhelming impression of those that gather on this site (especially those with high post counts) is their willingness to welcome and assist newcomers. Perhaps there is a certain skewed humour here but surely that is only befitting a New Order site. I felt truly welcomed here when my Ryder cup thread was ridiculed, maybe I am just a sad cunt with a low post count!

there seems to be a correlation between the number of post count and the number of times 'c*nt' is typed....

must be nice for the female fans to read these threads...

(someone said something about reading the forum rules a few posts back... hmmmmm.....)

Allow me, my friend. "Cunt" can be taken many ways, as a tea brewed with the dried leaves, as an insult, as a term of friendly respect. I'll leave it up to you to decide which befits.

Originally posted by Spotnick Like there has been 5 or 6 threads to tell us that Ceremony is used in the trailer for "The Life Aquatic" ;)

I take full pride in being the first US Newbie to post this information.

£100-THAT INCLUDE A PIZZA?

Very well put.

So what are the tabs for the ceremnony solo? Hee Hee.

I think it's OK if people come here just to ask info, it's not like you have to be an active member of every forum of every band you like... Say I'm a Depeche Mode fan, if I wanna know if they tour I don't become an active member of the forum before asking it, I wouldn't have the time at all... I know it's hard because this is not actually an official site, but it's probably the closest thing... You could put a notice on the forum: before asking about news, check the news archive of the last month, so if there are any live dates they see it...

I was new once, and I was still cool then!

Judge folks on quality, not the quantity; and in that regard you can officially scapegoat me as I have neither.
