There is a review of the Xmas gig in this months issue.

[D S]

Indeed - thanks for doing that! Spot-on review I thought.  8-)
I especially liked the comment that "there is no such thing as a casual Frost* fan" - how true! :lol:

[mattstevens]

Thanks. Frost have an amazing fan base, lovely people 2.

The moment when the band asks "Where did the audience go?" and the soundman says "He's at the bar!"

Actually, I suspect Mike was probably referring just to himself and his evil twin, Count Michael. Solipsism: it's a way of life (and he know he's alone in thinking that).  :mrgreen:

Is that a post each for Mikey & Count Michael?

Solipsism ( /?s?l?ps?z?m/) is the philosophical idea that only one's own mind is sure to exist. The term comes from Latin solus (alone) and ipse (self). Solipsism as an epistemological position holds that knowledge of anything outside one's own mind is unsure. The external world and other minds cannot be known, and might not exist outside the mind. As a metaphysical position, solipsism goes further to the conclusion that the world and other minds do not exist. As such it is the only epistemological position that, by its own claim, is both indestructible and yet indefensible in the same manner. Although the number of individuals sincerely espousing solipsism has been small, it is not uncommon for one philosopher to accuse another's arguments of entailing solipsism as an unwanted consequence, in a kind of reductio ad absurdum. In the history of philosophy, solipsism has served as a skeptical hypothesis.

Anybody understand this? I'll ask the Count later when I see him



 :idea:  :idea: Does this mean you're all a fig biscuit of my imagination?

Ah!! No!! Frost* wouldn't exist. Therefore it is a skeptical hypothesis.

No, you big eedjit: it means that you created Frost*, Jem Godfrey, all the Frost*ies, and a fair bit besides, all on your jolly lonesome. As well as me and this post. Doesn't that make you feel proper special?

Enjoy the (il/de)lusion while it lasts  8-)


[BTW, I presume in this universe which you created, you also duped my original post. Which of course you originally posted. And this is you now telling yourself that you did so.]

[Mikey]

Ah!! I created Frost*, I am Jem Godfrey, John Mitchell etc.

There's a flaw...why would I have invented Wham? or was that the Count?

& if I invented you, why don't I understand that something came from nothing and never began

All catered for, sire: in your solipsistic universe, which you created, it's not necessarily a given that the conscious part of you understands what the unconscious part created. And in any case, in this universe, it's also by no means automatically true that what I (i.e. you) am trying to tell you about a universe springing from nothing is any way, shape, or form anything other than utter clap-trap.

As for Wham, well, that is related to the problem of theodicy, except in this instance, you only have yourself to blame, not God. Bit inconvenient that. And in any case, who says Wham is bad? Its sole purpose in this construct may well be to show just how wonderful Frost* (which you created) is, which therefore means Wham is, in and of itself, also good.

But to be clear, you are not Jem Godfrey: he is just a figbox of your imagination.

Captain Pugwash is a fictional pirate in a series of British children's comic strips and books created by John Ryan. The character's adventures were adapted into a TV series, using cardboard cut-outs filmed in live-action (the first series was performed and broadcast live), also called Captain Pugwash, first shown on the BBC in 1957, a later colour series, first shown in 1974–75, and a traditional animation series, The Adventures of Captain Pugwash, first aired in 1998.[1]

The eponymous hero – Captain Horatio Pugwash – sails the high seas in his ship called the Black Pig, ably assisted by cabin boy Tom, pirates Willy and Barnabas, and Master Mate. His mortal enemy is Cut-Throat Jake, captain of the Flying Dustman.

Good, that's all clear then.  :?  :?

The term theodicy ( /?i???d?si/ from Greek theos - "god" + dike - "justice") has no universally agreed upon definition,
