Whatever makes you sad..

[Master Ray]

A, a true friend will always forgive you when you ****-up.  God knows, I learnt that lesson.

[Coumarin]

Amanda.... get on with your life. whatever tomorrow may bring.

Stop whinging on band sites may be a start?

You will only find the appropriate bands opinion there, filtered down through others that will invariably agree.

Go for it, tell us the mistakes you made, where you've been and how not to make the same mistakes. Recommend countries and people you have met. you will tread on toes along the way of course. but that's the reason you took this on.

Keep going Amanda.

That's all I can say

Martin

edit. Amanda you could be our foreign correspondent in far away places as Kate Adie was.

Yeah, I know. Stop posting on message boards and stop saying stupid things online. And stop talking about my constant **** ups. The internet is my downfall. It's addictive yet very harmful as I can not seem to think before typing.    


Who is Kate Adie?     
I can tell you where to go but enjoyment will depend on what you enjoy. I can't make any promises that it is accurate.

[Coumarin]

Kate Adie is a very well respected and very well travelled lady. She has been filing reports for decades in war torn countries, troubled areas....infact anywhere that might seem a little "off the beaten track" She brings inhospitable places to her audience.

Here she is





Her show is "From our own correspondent" on Radio4 and has inspired me to go countries I would have never have considered. This year is booked with Centenaries of WWI and Dubrovnik, next year it will be Japan and Cuba. Mainly through listening to her program and the interesting reports she gathers from around the world.

Happy travels and good luck Amanda.

Keep us posted.

Next year, I will be in Greek Isles distributing food and clothing to people fleeing a war-zone willing to drown to make it into EU. Then possibly the same but in Serbia if my connection can get more information.   The fact that people need to help with this, that this is actually happening and getting worse really saddens me.


Speaking of travel, I will venture into the less traveled balkan/ non- EU countries in Europe. Starting with Albania, The rest is unplanned but Kosovo and Bosnia seem interesting.

 Kate seems really cool though. I must research her more.

Reading of Idopas's news  in the "Piss me off thread". 

[Amandistan]

The internet.  Okay, If you don't support migrants fleeing their homes coming to your country, then why must you insult and ridicule those  people who do care?   Or say that the person knows nothing, then make racist remarks? 

I try so often to get conservative and people who seem to not care (about anyone past their own border) to hear reason but they never try to understand the opposing side. They think it's okay to shoot down a cause that I care about greatly and am emotionally attached to. It's not really. It's degrading as hell.


Hatful, right-wing people on the internet make me sad. They even manage to show at places you would never expect.
It's almost as if it's a UK equivalent to a Trump supporter. Sad day when that attitude is also across the ocean.

 I got this from Killing Jokes Facebook page

Dear Gatherers and friends. It is with great sadness and regret that due to some health issues for one of the band we will not be able to embark on our 2016 U.S. Tour. This has come as a shock to us all, please give us the time to work this out and we hope to return to touring as soon as possible. The Soft Moon are continuing with many of the scheduled dates so please check local listings and the band's website for further information:

 Damn this is the second time I had a band cancel their U.S. Tour . Last Year Hawkwind was suppose to Tour with The 40th Anniversary of Warrior on the Edge of Time Release and because of former band member issues they canceled their Tour of the colonies and Now this year Killing Joke who I have waited over 20 years to finally see live cancel their Tour and I had the VIP Package which meant I was going to meet the band before the show and  take pictures and chat a little with the lads. What freakin luck or unluck these were my bucket list bands who I wanted to see at least one time in my life.

[Anna Woman von NRW]

That's a real downer Ron - sorry to hear that. Hope they get rearranged. Maybe you'll get lucky and there you'll see NMA on your side of the water this year

Thanks Anna. You Know after the last month and all the drama of some great people passing on I am not going to complain about the health of any person because that is the most important thing. Knowing that the band really wanted to invade and enlighten us with their music was going to be fun . I know that touring the colonies is a lot different than in Europe with all the Logistics and hopefully they can come in late spring or summer and that way I can wear some of those cool Killing Joke T shirts that I see on sale on their website instead of that winter jacket I was going to wear next week at their now canceled show here in NYC.

And Yes Hopefully NMA Will in the next couple of years be able to return to the colonies and invade and enlighten us with their great music. Their are very few Bucket list bands that I will pay a lot of money to go see NMA is one of them and really the only other Bands that money will not be a factor would be Fields of the Nephilim, Clan Of Xymox, and Killing Joke. so I guess I will now have to see when Xymox and the Nephilim lads come over.
