The Official Community Of Nitin Sawhney

So I reckon we all live in parallel universes which have a general thread of the society we live in, but if you think about it, you can opt out, and so we really can live in a 'world of our own' yet co-exist with a baseline of reality. The baseline reality perhaps here is Mr Sawheny, as this is where all our unviverses (is that the correnct plural?) have coincided. So perhaps there is only one Mr S. Aka Cyber Sawhney for the forum? Why? because it sounds good, or does to me, what do you think Mr S?

Clearly had one too many at the pub, can you tell?

Oooh dear, how's your head today, r? I'm trying to remember the last time I got drunk and I think that it may have been the evening of the day when I posted my first ever post here! Thankfully, writing the post had nothing to do with getting drunk otherwise I'd probably have a nose like a bloated strawberry and a liver the size of Europe by now!

It's lovely to see more people posting, isn't it and the board is definitely a lot busier. I missed out on the Proms gig (Pawli, did you go?) and so I've cast my vote! Wonder if any of the material and/or guests might resurface at the Jazz Cafe? We shall have to wait and see.... that reminds me.....

r, you know when you decided to bungy/bungey/bungie jump (dear God! I can't spell when I'm sober sweetie, I don't think you have much to worry about!!!) off the side of Waterloo Bridge, dressed as a pigeon? You remember - there was an exceptionally low tide and, unfortunately, the elastic stretched a little further than anticipated, and you ended up headfirst and waist-deep in the mud, like a giant shuttlecock, until the emergency services were able send a helicopter to winch you out......?

Have you still got the elastic? I've got an idea.....

Well with the electric proms this weekend, I've definitely been on Planet Sawhney, so you could be correct there, r.

Anyway I'm off to the other side of another country - England! - tomorrow so I shall be away from virtual reality for a few days.

Buga, Hmmm.... the goatee would definitely fit in with my "leftfield" activities.

Buga - that was a crafty move on your part! Yes, I do read these posts, but being a person of few words try to keep away from all the verbosity!! (some people do go on a bit don't you think!!?).

And no, I wasn't one of the lucky ones to go to the electric proms. I was hoping to go to the Jazz Cafe though - but I had my bag nicked last week with my Jazz Cafe tickets in it (and lots of other things - credit card, mobile, Oyster card, etc., etc.). I've been able to replace almost everything else - but, Jazz Cafe tell me they don't replace lost or stolen tickets. This is going to test my loyalties - do I buy another set of tickets? What do you think?

Pawli,

What a terrible thing to happen to you. You know, I don't understand why venues and booking agents don't take advantage of technology and issue tickets with security strips so that each ticket can have its own id code (not printed on the ticket itself) and then, if something happens like your experience, you can report them, the booking agent can cancel the code and reissue new tickets and if some silly whatsit tries to get in on your original tickets, they would come up as invalid when swiped at the door and the ticketholder would get no further. Unfortunately, I don't think there's a venue with that much foresight or maybe the doorstaff insist on continuing the practice of tearing tickets because it's more satisfying?

Or if we could have some kind of entertainments equivalent of the Oyster so that you could opt to have your seat number(s)/entry fee(s) entered into the card account and the info would remain in your account as a record, even after you download it onto your card in much the same way that oysters can be topped up. You could present your card for swiping at the venue and, if you lost your card, you could report it and, any bookings that had been put onto your card could have their original reference code cancelled and a new one written so that you could still get in but the person with the old card would be left out in the cold! Oh, for heaven's sake - WHY is no one DOING THIS???

Anyway, I must say that, initially I was more than a little by your comment about some people going on a bit. You don't mean 'some' people at all, do you? You mean A person don't you and, I have to say that, OK, I have to admit that you do have a point and there's no denying it but, aren't you being a little too harsh on Rosemary, dear? It's not like she's around this week, to defend herself from such criticism now, is it? Mind you, after all the fuss about sock puppets and, after we've pretty much agreed to limit our enthusiasm to just Cyber Sawhney, who, of ALL people, should then go on to invent "Planet Sawhney", eh???

Personally , I'm more by gits who think it's 8) to 'express' themselves with those inane little 's ~ I mean, I almost feel ops: for people like that, don't you?

"Does my bum look big in this installation?"

Thanks for the sympathy Buga ? and yes I agree, it should be possible to stop stolen tickets and re-issue new ones (the Festival Hall were quite happy to re-issue some other tickets that were also in my stolen bag ? and apparently my thief was not a very cultured individual as no-one else tried to claim my seats from me!). Anyway, I?m trying to go straight to the top to get my Jazz Caf? tickets replaced (not, not to Nitin himself, I mean to the Box Office Manageress).

Didn?t mean to offend by the way ? you can write as much as you like, whenever you like!

Wow! I never knew THAT! I never knew there could be anyone higher up than Mr.S. ~ I just assumed that he WAS the one at the top! So.... does he come 2nd in line after the Box Office Manageress, or is he further down the pecking order, after say, the lighting techie and the cloakroom attendant, for example? Surely, he's not after the poor soul whose job it is to go about the place after every gig, prising flattened wads of nicotine gum off the venue floor with an old spatula.....?

No offence taken by the way ~ as you know, I am a woman of few words, Pawli... well, maybe a few thousand would be more accurate ..........

Good Luck!

Ahem, well I am back to defend myself now. I am feeling at your comments, as I regard myself as the model of brevity. As for Planet Sawhney - surely you understand the use of metaphor! Or to quote professor kirke "What do they teach them in schools these days?" (CS Lewis, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe".

Pawli, I hope that you can get replacements for your tickets. I would be so disappointed if I could not go. I notice that Nitin is now doing almost a whole week at the Jazz Cafe.
