Things that bug the hell out of me.........
When people talk and say the word OUR, more times than not, they say "are". ARE car, ARE house..........it's OUR car, OUR house....you pronounce it like HOUR!!! Another thing is when they finish their sentences with the word "so".... "Yeah, I need a new car, so..........." So, WHAT? So, you're going to look for a new car? You're going to put up with the old car because you can't afford a new car? WHAT!!!!!??????? It also bugs the hell out of me when people email me and write "should of" or "would of" instead of "should've" or "would've" or "should have" or "would have". My brother is an expert on that. He writes "I would of gone to the game today but it was too cold." Where in the hell did you go to school? Were you making out with Gayle when you were supposed to be in English class? AUGHHHH!!!!! Another brother keeps saying "Ya, you betcha". STOP IT!!!!!! Other over-used words are the words "like" and "go". I KNOW everybody has heard this constantly over the last 20 years or so, "I was talking to Joe the other day, and I like, Hi Joe, how are you? And he, like, not too bad, how are you? And I go, I'm fine, I'm working now so........" SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!!!! Another thing that bugs the hell out of me is when PEOPLE USE CAPS WHEN THEY WRITE MESSAGES IN EMAILS OR ON MESSAGE BOARDS. Use the shift key and take the CAPS off! CAPS MEAN YOU ARE YELLING! QUIT YELLING! It also bugs the hell outta me when people write "your" instead of "you're" "I heard your going to the hospital. I hope your okay!"
And how about when people say "aks" instead of "ask"? Or "ho"......IT'S WHORE! You're not black so quit talking like one! And it's HALLoween, not HOLLOWeen. Plus it's HALLEY'S Comet (like alley), not Haley's Comet. Another one is this........there is no "R" in Washington or washing machine....it's NOT A WARSHING MACHINE! And the top of a house is a ROOF, not a RUFF! And the last one is when people say "all" instead of "I'll". "All go get the pizza if you go get the beer." Key-ryist.........little things just bug the hell outta me.
The grammar gestapo lives.

Hey, Gary ...
I'm with the Mouse Pack, and couldn't help noticing your comment on Dave Clark. You're SOOOOOO right about that dude ... but there's more to the story: He made his mark as leader of the DC5, but, according to my friends in some of the '60s groups in and around London, he wasn't the drummer! He used session drummers for the records, and, often, one offstage during live performances to cover for him!
He also spliced the DC5 into footage of Gerry and the Pacemakers' shows, marketing their audience as his! Proof of this is on an RSG video. Today, the dude looks like he's had his thousandth facelift, and is still as selfish and stodgy as ever!
Mike Smith, however, is still suffering from the terrible fall he took in 2003. He's now tetraplegic (limited movement in arms and hands; totally paralyzed otherwise). He, Lenny, Rick and Denis were bonafide musicians in the group.

Hi Chuck,
Thanks for writing. Yep, I know all about the DC5 story. I've been a recent member of the last fan club that Dave insisted to cease to exist. I've put together videos for a couple of the guys (Mike and Lenny) because they didn't have anything! They don't like Dave and never asked him for video copies of things. I could go on and on.........I've seen recent pics of Mike on the net and he looks terrible. Don't know why his wife (gold-digger) would allow the pics to be publicly viewed, but she has. I've got stories about her you wouldn't believe..
A lot of people think Dave Clark owns the RSG library........WRONG! He owns about a dozen 16mm kinescopes that were found in a cupboard. The rest (as far as anybody knows) are all gone. With those few films he edited them to put together the shows for Disney and home video. He got sued by the Beatles and others because Dave insisted he owed them nothing for royalties. Well, he lost and the hopes of seeing anything else on the films disappeared. Dave is an idiot. So is DICK Clark....but that will be another post.
HA HA HA
