RE: Robert Marshal

[2manyguitars]

As the initial poster on this topic can I now say that I am in complete agreement with those wishing to close the topic. I would urge anyone considering a dialogue with the person in question to think very carefully before they do. I have been subject to some less than pleasant email contact from an obviously disturbed person.

Lets close this and move on......

I agree, let's not say anything personal about Guy or Mr Marshal.  It's just not nice.  I just took great exception to what Guy said on that occasion and won't forget it.

I also agree Knopflerfan that we should close this topic because this will no doubt be giving the aforementioned Mr Marshal the thrill of his life!

DMG, I'm sure Guy didn't mean it as you perhaps interpret it, I personally take the comment from Guy to mean that with regards to Dire Straits - 'that was then, this is now'

Personally, along that theme I got really Pi**ed off when at Brighton after the 'charging of the bulls' when a rather drunk lady kept shouting 'Walk of Life' in mine and Ingrid's ears to which I simply replied 'Move on'!

I and Mandy are personally grateful for whatever Mark plays these days as we feel very lucky to be on this journey with such brilliant musicians and also fantastic fans/friends too......

I remember her, she was a total arse and not just cause she was asking for WOL but cause she was so hammered. She could have waited till after the gig. Some people at gigs are so selfish. During the KTGC tour at Brighton this older couple that were sat behind me were wasted and just talked all the way through until HFB when I lost the plot with them and threw the blokes coat which for some reason was on my wifes chair at his head. They shut up but decided to get up into the isle during SOS for a dance and were then kicked out shouting at everyone and saying MK fans were all boring squares. That was sweet justice not even Judge Judy could have dished out.

Hey Banjo,

How bizarre! that particular couple were sat immediately in front of us! and he certainly would have felt the wrath of my shoe on his chair throughout the show!!

She was absolutley wasted and yes they kept talking and singing loudly and if I remember rightly her clothing was very near to coming off!! As for the crap dancing in the aisle during Sultans- Noooooo!

There were a lot of disgruntled people after the show and I bet she never remembers being there!

She's probably a member of this forum!!

I have come across his blog (or was it in another format before that?) some time ago! It was a fine pass time if you had time to waste! We have been talking about other guys that claim to have written DS songs, but this one is persistent and well, priceless!   I hope he doesn't make claims on my photos, poems or kids...

Don't give this clown the oxygen of publicity.

Disregarding my own very sensible advice here, but it's most amusing that this mental guy is as obsessed with amit as he is with MK.

Come on admit it, which of you are the hold outs?!

wowsers...more bonkers than chatGPT..
guy can't write for shit
mental lunatic rambling, can't get head nor tail to it...jumping all over the place with his words. weird af
also, this guy belongs in a straightjacket (no pun intended, for those who get it)

[stratmad]

Well lets face it David Icke said that we we're all ruled by lizards and he is managing to fill halls and make a successful living....

Anyway I'm off to the mothership to communicate with the lizard masters...he he.....

It was about time someone did that!  And didn't Douglas Adams also say we use only 10% of our brains, because the rest if full of penguins?

Anyway, best to ignore the guy. MK surely has his lawyers to deal with such stuff, and maybe one day he'll write a song about him. 
Btw, the site is offline now. ^^

Edit: It's even disappeared from wayback machine

It's still up! This twisted parallel universe is almost inspiring.
The time and effort he has put into it,  considering the longevity of that blog, is evidence that he has time and imagination and if he was in the right spot, all wars and famines would have been eliminated.
Alas, he only deals with MK

[stratmad]

Found it (I'd tried Pottel's link first).
I wish I hadn't.
