Note to self....

Stop trying to be helpful and answer questions on the London Coliseum thread.  Evidently you don't know what the shit you are talking about. 

Profound statement for today...

I really hate to sound self serving and uncaring but it's so nice not to feel obligated to address everyone's problems/issues/illness/deaths on the USA thread anymore. Every time I posted, I felt like a turdhead  because I simply did not have time for all the chit chat. 


No one to blame but me for that. I allowed those emotions to surface and grow.  


Ah well, at least there are the CUTIES and PIC threads for me to wallow in. And SOMETHING TO SAY is good for a 'stir the pot' once in a while.

Guess I got told...

This is rich.... since 2 different people were asking about me on the USA thread, I thought I would be nice and send them pms and explain in a diplomatic yet truthful way that I was not returning to the USA thread. I just got this response from one of them and it is rich....


Sorry you will not be here with us any longer. We will miss you, but understand your reasons. I nearly stopped posting a long time ago when Cyd and Joyce filled pages with "What are you doing?" and "What are you eating?" and "What are you watching?" But it finally passed, as most things do. :) 

Check us out once in a while and see if we have healed.





In other words....'I understand what you are saying Sandra, but we like the status quo and ain't gonna change a damn thing'.

Ranting on Pathetic behavior

Once again, I was perusing in the London Coliseum thread, shaking my  head and wondering what is so hard for 'adults' to understand simple instructions.

Amber with Forum Admin (bless her soul), has answered  the same questions over and over again and it's still not sinking in it seems. Who are these people showing up like ghosts asking questions in such desperate fashion? Could it be the ones who only crawl out of the woodwork once every 2 or 3 years?  (I know, I'm regressing.)

I just want to go on the thread and post STFU!!!!! God, I hate stupidity. Not knowing or not being told something  is one thing, we all have to progress from level to level.  But to keep asking the same thing over and over when it has been answered is rude and pathetic.

And oh yes.....little Miss Cutie who never reads ANYTHING and asks endless, meaningless questions while jumping from thread to thread is a raving sycophant. JMO!

Note to self....

Remember to be thankful you are no longer a Mod on the Il Divo forum.

What was posted by some members in the Lounge today -

' II've been trying to reset my password on my account for the last 15 minutes, it says it doesn't recognise my email address, which is odd as it's the email address the news was sent to! My friend Pam is having the same problem....has anyone else tried to do theirs?  '


' I am having all sorts of problems trying to log on ..it keeps telling me to reset my password which I keep doing and still I can't log on. Pulling my hair out now worrying about not being able to get to ticket saleson June 1st.....Help.
Love
Cynthia '



' Hmmmm.....exactly what Heather said!! Quite annoying as I got the pre-sale email but I can't reset my details......so I have registered again but I think it still thinks I am a newbie too. Very confusing :-(

Lizzie '


' having same problems.. why do they always do this? muck about with the forum then announce a ticket sale,, do you get the feeling they enjoy watching us running about like headless chickens?. have booked morning off on Wednesday will be gutted if I cannot log in by then.. but looks like we are all in same boat. Note in second email tickets go on sale to non platinum members on the 2nd.but even they have to sing up for store account again... sure it will all come right..
looking forward to seeing everyone. xxxLinda '




What Janey posted regarding all this yesterday

Hi Linda and Linda :)

The transfer of information from the old web-site database to the new one (not the forum, where your usernames and log-ins continue as before) is not yet complete, but should be by Tuesday or Wednesday, so, as far as we understand, if you were registered with the old site for newsletters etc, youshould be for the new one once the transfer is complete. I say 'should', as we are not completely sure ourselves how this is going to be working!

It does seem, however, that re-registering to the site is possible ... so if you are unsure about your previous registration to the Sony web-site (not the forum), try registering again.

Hopefully, all will be come clear in the next week, but if not we will try and get more specific information. As we have said previously, we have been told the new web-site is a work in progress and is not yet finalised.

What those members comprehended/read from her post - 


Not a FECKIN' thing!!!


Hello....she said 'Tuesday or Wednesday of this week'.  




What I would love to post in the thread:


If those complaining would visit the forum more than once every 2 or 3 years,  or when it's time to buy tickets, you might know what the f*** is going on. You always want to make sure you are first in queue to get the best tickets and when you have problems logging into your account, you want to blame everyone but yourself for being an asshole.  


Guess what people? The new website is a 'work in progress' as Admin has said about 3 trillion times already.  Too bad they are not perfect and do everything according to your selfish liking.  Hint.....sad but true but there are always going to be those members who are more tech saavy than you and get the best seats. It's called 'LIFE and learning to live with it'. 


Yeah, the forum does not always run smooth and most of the time the fans find things out before SONY even let's us know and yes, they are slow on the uptake with allot of things. Yeah, it's discouraging when a concert date does not fit into our time agenda or vacation schedule.  Yeah, you paid your $50 membership fee in order to have 'first dibs' on all the nifty things that are IL DIVO.  But sorry, that fee does not include listening to your incessant moaning and groaning because you can't have EVERYTHING your way or the damn 'tote bag' promised with membership was not delivered to your home the very next day after you paid your $50. 


Finally.....sorry you just cannot sit back comfortably on your throne and dictate the workings of the IL DIVO machine.  


I applaud all the loyal fans who have been faithful to the IL DIVO forum through famine as well as feast. They should be the ones who get the best tickets. 


Why I love my BLOG....I can say what I damn well please and don't have to listen to a bunch of whiny assed responses.

JUST SAYIN' ..........
