Just wanted to add my 2 penneth on all this. This forum is an outlet for Richards fans to actually talk and feel a part of a big Hawley family. He is one of the few artists in this country and probably the world who takes time out to actually read the shyte we post and on occasions genuinely LISTENS to what his fans want. A lot of us have become and been treated nothing less than good, personal friends of Richards and I honestly hope 99% of you dont abuse this and hassle him for guest list and PM him to moan that his gig wasn't long enough, he didn't play your favourite song or to take advantage of his good nature by asking for signed photo's and shit.
At the end of the day this forum is meant to be a good laugh. an outlet for like minded fans to share experiences, stories etc ......and in some cases to offer support and friendship to each other. If you've got any complaints or gripes direct them to us Admin types as contrary to popular belief we do take your issues seriously and are not an exclusive clique. Many, many good things have come from this forum. Craig has worked his knackers of to raise a few thousand pounds all in the name of the Hawleyboard with money going to causes close to Richards heart.
Yes, there's been disagreements and fallings out.....not everyone in the world can get along. I for one have a purile, at times 'politically un-correct' sense of humour and the 'written' word can sometimes be misconstrued in the wrong way......so.......
Don't moan on to Richard (he's too busy counting his earnings!)
Dont be mortally wounded if at a freezing outdoor gig he cuts his set a little short.
Don't write to your MP if someone posts a picture of a pair of tits.
Make an effort to attend a meet-up or two to see the folks as they really are.
and dont kick the dog up the arse especially when your fingers are in it's mouth.
....oh, and who's buying me the live CD for christmas and a nice Aston Martin so that I can play it on the CD player?
Well said Dave, oh i forgot to say in my post above yours, as an added bonus to the night i got to say hello to you
