We live in a society of laws. Why do you think I took you to all those Police Academy movies? For fun? Well I didn't hear anybody laughing, did you?

That was before I realised that if I stopped doing stuff, you'd do it all.

Sucks to be them, and it's not really fair to laugh even if they are gigstupiders, but in fairness, they shouldn't have said they were going to play gigs. I'm a weenie when it comes to lying to authority, but even i'd be all "nah, just headed over to meet some friends, brought the guitar for a bit of a sing song". Makes sense like.

A quick search on all posts by either magicman or steptoe reveals that your sole objective on Thumped is to slag GigSmart or anything to do with it. You post about nothing else.

What did they do to upset you so much?

they stole my shoes.

what does it matter anyway, fact is whoever organised that trip shud be shot in the face for idiocy. hope they get there in the end but can't help a giggle

I've walked through immigration with a guitar on my back several times and not been interrogated for several hours - so I dont see the problem with bringing them.

the reason they didnt get through was down to not lying. the reason they were honest about the 2 gigs in the US was because the US embassy told them they did not need a visa for playing two non paying gigs. also, they would have required something like 7 months of a wait to get the performance visas for the US - which they didnt have. so, they decided to be honest. if they had not told the immigration officers they were playing in the US at all, they would have passed through.

I don't think it's remotely funny that they lost about 5 grand, especially considering that they worked for every penny of it. what is in fact ridiculous is the paranoid draconian policies of US immigration.

but yeah, mike got spiked are fags

 

[SONYMEGADRIVE]

shit even the economist is covering this

 

[MDR]

To make things worse, when they got to their hotel they realised that they had packed two bottles of conditioner instead of one shampoo and one conditioner.

 

[Theseus Mock]

Immigration: What's the name of your band sir?
Creamy Sonic: Mike got spiked.

ditto.

Wow! Do you think one of the other Stoat guys would become Band Mammy if I abdicated?
Doubt it

Fucks sake lads, the poor fuckers are after loosing a shed load of money over this. They're giving it a go. Really like. Not just sitting behind a computer slagging people badly. Hope it doesn't happen to you.

ha ha! fuckin' eejits! hope they end up in guantanamo bay, made listen to their own shite all day.

 

[pete]

Pete, can we ban talk about Gigsmart? Its encouraging laziness on the part of some of our funnier contributors, and invites Gigsmart malcontents to vent their spleen on why its so unfair.

i vote yes

Serious Measures will be taken, if necessary
