Thanks Caryl (again! OMG I'm gonna have to buy you a drink some time

)

I'm off there now i'm sure i can manage to give 'em hell

MBrevard · 22 Apr 2003, 23:23

Whoops, I'm falling behind again!

I hope cerysmeatloaf will come back and see your message. I'm sure she will. She's anxiously looking for a solution to the problem and I know others are, too! It's a shame the video has this problem.

I thank YOU for writing in. I love talking with you AND your mom!! Hope you get her avatar to work!!

Sin, more good news. Wait a minute. I didn't think that Woolies was carrying it--or was that just the single? Are we talking single or CD here. Let me know (sorry, I get confused easily

)

HMV stores have really been good to us, haven't they--AND their online site. I don't know what we would have done without it last week!!

Empty shelves!! I LOVE it!! Especially when they were full ones to begin with!!

(Not like last week!!)

The BBC Playlist message board is:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/cgi-perl/h2/h2....e=view&sort=Te

You don't even have to register. To get airtime Meat needs to be on their playlist. Let's do some work there too eh?

original sin · 22 Apr 2003, 23:28

this is spooky

just went to site per Caryl's post you have to register!! it's saying i'm already registered and has my email addy i've never been there before

R. · 22 Apr 2003, 23:31

Just a hint about that link:
If you just click on it, the BBC will know where you are coming from.
They might be surprised if they suddenly see thousands of requests coming from this particular thread.
Copy the link into the clipboard, open a new browser window and paste the link into the URL field!

MBrevard · 22 Apr 2003, 23:32

Hey, what else have your kids been doing???

MBrevard · 22 Apr 2003, 23:34

Thanks, R! Terrific hint, which none of us here would have thought of!!

Thanks for watching over us!! It's a nice feeling!

original sin · 22 Apr 2003, 23:41

ALERT

Caryl, I'm not sure but is there any chance the last tlinks could have taken us directly into your login for posts? 'cos when i was ay radio one its said it needed to verify email and then i noticed there was a log off option although i hadn't logged on

if this is stupid question i'm sorry but i've said all along i'm a techno thickie

MBrevard · 22 Apr 2003, 23:43

Sin, read R.'s message above. Okay?

CarylB · 22 Apr 2003, 23:45

Original Sin .. you'll see Rainer has suggested we paste into browser ourselves .. and when I just used the link I'd posted it had me logged in as Original Sin .. lol :)

R. · 22 Apr 2003, 23:51

You might want to use that clipboard/browser thingie on each link posted here.

Jen · 22 Apr 2003, 23:52

Amazon UK sales rank, album #4, single #443.

CarylB · 22 Apr 2003, 23:53

Good point R .. thanks. We should include it every time we post a link I guess too

MBrevard · 22 Apr 2003, 23:53

R? If you haven't already done it, you might want to copy that message onto the Sticky thread with all the links, as well.

Just a thought, since people are taking links from there,too... :)

original sin · 22 Apr 2003, 23:54

Caryl? you walking in my shoes?

BTW check out my post re: the radio quiz

MBrevard · 22 Apr 2003, 23:56

Hey, Jen! Even better! Up from #457 and #5.

That's good news!

heat · 22 Apr 2003, 23:59

Hi all,

Well, remember me saying that i went down to the local Radio station with a copy of CHSIBM for them to play, well, a DJ mate of mine later rang me up, mortified to know Meat had a single out. He said that he hadn't heard anything at all about it, and he'd only spoken to a bloke from Mercury earlier this afternoon. Apparently, so he thinks, Mercury aren't interested in publicising Meat's single, they want to concentrate on the Album, as they don't think the single will sell!!! Obviously not, if they aren't gonna promote it!!! Steve, the DJ, said he'll be speaking to his contact at Mercury tomorrow so he's gonna ask him whats going on, and then he'll let me know.
He also said they are doing work to the swansea sound website, so there's no way of asking for Meats song at the moment, unless we ring up. I do have steve's personal email, but i think he'd be miffed if i gave that out!!!
Just really pissed off at Mercury..how the hell can they expect Meat to get to number 1 if they arent willing toget a fair go???
Just thought i'd let you know what i found out.

MBrevard · 23 Apr 2003, 00:04

Heat! You're amazing! You just solved the mystery I've been trying to figure out since Meat's last message to us all.

He said that "THEY" didn't think he could sell singles!! NOW we know it was Mercury who didn't think he could sell them.

Anybody got an email address or phone number for MERCURY??!! You know what list THEY are now on!!!!

Let's give 'em hell!!!!

CarylB · 23 Apr 2003, 00:05

If you email me the tel number Heat I'll ring in requests :) Thank the lord for onetel!!

R. · 23 Apr 2003, 00:07

Don't think it's a good idea to involve Mercury from here. Think about it! Think at least twice!!

original sin · 23 Apr 2003, 00:08

Heat you got my email addy

keep us posted

I don't think this news is a great urprise to us but I'm really really p****d OFF

heat · 23 Apr 2003, 00:09

'lo again,

Steve is gonna let me know how i can contact Mercury tomorrow, so i'll let you know, only thing is, he's not in work till gone 1, and i hafta take the twins to thier hospital appointment, so i'm gonna be out most of the afternoon, so will talk to steve whenever i can. Hope this is ok?

MBrevard · 23 Apr 2003, 00:09

R. Do you think it would backlash onto Meat??

Any way to let them know that they are WRONG about thinking this way?

I'm happy to keep a cooler head, but I'd like to voice a complaint to them in some way??

Suggestions are welcome!!

Thanks again, R. :)

original sin · 23 Apr 2003, 00:10

R. I take your point but they have let the MAN down

IMO

CarylB · 23 Apr 2003, 00:12
