Popular Post Uni 306 Posted July 4, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 4, 2013 I get so tired of this BS. I really do. This forum used to be something. We used to have discussions of substance, of real merit, and though people didn't always agree with one another back then, at least we dithered on topics of meaning and weight. People understood back then.And now what do we get? Threads like this, which only go to demonstrate how little people even know what the hell they're talking about. When I entered my vote, it was with the full expectation that John Williams would have a clear lead. What do I see instead? More people voting for John Williams. It's like it doesn't even matter what we say any more. Anyone who knows John Williams knows his music is better than John Williams, but we still see people who claim to be John Williams fans voting in the majority for John Williams (and who the hell cares any more what John Williams thinks or does, anyway?).I'm through with this place. I just can't see hanging around a John Williams forum anymore where people vote for John Williams.- Uni KK, Quintus and Not Mr. Big 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen II 1,235 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 There was also a black football player (that's soccer for you Yanks) named John Williams. He played for Cardiff, among others.He also played for Exeter City! He used to be a postman before he became a professional footballer and often started on the bench when he was playing for us. If we were losing at some god forsaken northern shithole in the late 1990's (which was most of the time, in fairness), the chant of "Bring on the postman!" (to the tune of We are the champions) would often ring out from the away end. True story. I must see if I can find a picture of John Williams when he played for City. God those were dark days.

nightscape94 965 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 As someone who trained in classical guitar, I'm sad to see John Williams retire.
