Hello and thank you
« on: May 31, 2015, 10:20:17 PM »
Just a quick message to say Hi cos I'm new.  I posted on the Bearded Theory thread and have had such a great welcome; so thank you for the messages.

I'm looking forward to chatting and meeting you all at gigs (one of the many (!) best things about the Bearded Theory gig was the friendliness of the NMA crowd.  Lovely bunch of people )

 :)

Hello Sheena,

I'm quite new here as well, but have also received a very warm welcome from everyone. Unfortunately, I haven't posted quite as much as I would have liked to recently as I've been very busy job hunting owing to impending redundancy in August. It's not the first time I've been in this fix though, so I am prepared for it. Also, I am very blessed to have my better-half by my side who has seen me through this before and she is doing so once again, so I am sure we'll be fine.

Once I'm back on my feet I'll post and chat a lot more, but in the meantime I will mostly be busy cracking on with those job applications and brushing up on my interview skills. I will keep checkin' in though to stay in the loop so to speak.

All the best everyone,
Johnny

Johnny... I was in the same situation a while back, it's utter demoralising.  It ain't great out there...  :-\

Working again, thankfully, and I'm now in a job I really like, but there were some scary times.  What I'm trying to say is that don't let the scary bits get you down.  Stuff can get low but it can go the other way too and it can come out of the blue, like it did for me.

Keep plugging away and it'll be fine. And if you get really low, post here.  I'm sure you've got people in your 'real life' that you can lean on, but just in case you need anyone else...  ???

Best wishes and good luck!

Thanks for those very kind words Master Ray,

Sorry for not responding sooner, but I have been busy job hunting prior to my impending redundancy. No joy so far, but now I am out of work I can focus on job hunting full-time. I've registered as a volunteer as well to get some extra experience and new skills, so we'll see how it all goes.

All the best,
Johnny

I'd like to say hello and how good it is to be among you all as well. I'm a NMA fan from just outside Boston and am, thus far, the only fan I know of. That's astounding, I know, but it's a fact. My efforts to convert friends have been in vain. The response is usually along the lines of "I'm too old for punk rock". I can't explain New Model Army without at least referring to punk rock, and that's when the eyes glaze over. My only success was a drunken party I hosted where someone I'd only met that night was complimenting me on my musical taste. He was staggering about a bit later, and saw the shelf filled with nothing but NMA. He wrote their name down, saying this was worth investigating. I hope he did. My 17 year old nephew seems to be getting it too. Other than that, I'm alone in this particular passion, which makes this site so welcome. So greetings to you all, in general, and to my fellow American fans in particular. Where have you all been hiding ?
