Goodbye HiFi Wigwam

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Richard, give it a rest. You are obviously taking great delight in this situation but no-one could ever call you an impartial observer.

Nor are you or nor is anyone in this conversation. I am being picked out by you because probably my comments hit the target too much.

Any way I will do as requested and just agree with Effem and Zanash posts. Which have been a lot more critical than mine.

Fwiw i agree with you

I'm sure James' reference to the 'commercial rights' pertains to the fact that Chestergroup gave them up, on paper, no more no less.

[Marco]

Indeed, Simon.

But it also shows that he's keen to keep the Pie show going, regardless if Wigwam continues to exist or not, which James is quite right to do. As I've said, I'm sure that both of the above will be the case, albeit with some significant (and in my opinion long overdue) changes taking place at the latter.

....and how some of the 'natives' react to those changes, will I believe determine the long-term future of Wigwam.

Marco.

P.S How about including an avatar on your profile, which is relevant to you? We like avatars on AoS, as they help portray the personality of the person behind the posts

Oooh ecky thump!

Tried to log on this morning, and no Wam.

Crikey, bit of a surprise but not totally unexpected I guess.

It was/is an interesting place full of diverse characters, just like real life, some get on and some don't.

I will miss it while it's not online.

I hope some sort 'Pie show' can go ahead, as my Dad and I always look forward to showing something affordable.

James and the mods if you are listening, thank you for the fun, let there be some more.

I have finished with my own tirade Richard and after I calmed down overnight I have reduced it down to a mere "disappointment" level because as you will probably agree, undoing that which has been done isn't possible - no matter how hard any of us try.

My view now is QUE SERA, SERA, so if James has had an enforced reality check and is able to move on, then who am I to question that? By the way, if I met him today I would still be as friendly with him despite our differences.

Without meaning to be pedantic, as an Italian, I consider it my duty to correct you. The saying that you're striving for, Frank, is in fact: 'Che sarà, sarà'.

And there endeth the lesson...

Hi Marco

When i spoke to you on the phone , you didn't sound very Italian to me lol

Do they say "see you Jimmy" in Italy ?

[Marco]

Lol! That's 'cos I was born in Glasgow, but then you didn't hear me speak Italian

However, Scottish accents are abound in parts of the town where my family come from in Tuscany, as they're full of folk who own chip-shops, restaurants and cafes in Scotland, but whose roots are most definitely 100% Italian. I come under that category.

It's rather like Indian or Pakistani people who were born in the UK - they simply take on the accent of their home town or area, when speaking English, but when speaking their mother tongue, sound very much like an Indian or Pakistani!
