Guy has confirmed on his forum that they only intended to perform Remembrance Day.  In that case I can confirm that Stephen Fry is a pompous prick! ;D

There is a very good reason that it's called twitter  ;D
I just can't work out whether the bigger twits are those who post or those who follow these inconsequential twitterings.

From Guy's Forum this morning regarding Stephen Fry:


Well the king tweet did indeed make a bit of an error..I quote 'Sound check in Teafalgar Sq: Mark Knopfler is singing "Brothers in Arms"...' Not particularly accurate on several fronts. Not sure if I'm going to continue twatting, I enjoy staying in touch via this forum a whole lot more

I don't know what the big deal is, so SF is not a huge MK fan and doesn't know all the songs? So what?

I have never understood "twitter" either, I think they should rename it "Stalker"

The fact is he built up hopes of MK fans that he was going to play both songs.  It was irresponsible of him.  If he was unsure of the song he didn't have to mention it's name at all.

Hi Val.

I nearly choked on my coffee  :o. Did Guy really write "twatting" at this time of the morning?
In these parts "twat" is not a very polite turn of phrase at all. Though slightly more polite than the closely related word used occasionally on this site to describe James Blunt  ;D

Fenderbender - They were Guy's exact words, I did a bit of copy and pasting!   ;D   I always thought THAT word was a bit on the rude side too.  Maybe not now!   ;)

Just a bit of a joke I guess. David Cameron did similar recently.

My english is too poor to acuratly understand the subtile "twit twat".

All I can say is give peace a chance that MK guitar was "on" ansd I don't think it was only to make it beautiful  ;D

With 11/11 fast approaching, it's now 15 years since we witnessed The Master in Trafalgar Square! How time doth fly!
