Christmas concert, London (78,303) by Colin from UK I have tickets for the show at the O2 in London and wondered if anyone else who attending wanted to get together beforehand? (Wednesday 6 September 2017; 23:02)

Re: Martyn (75,671) (75,679) by Colin from UK Love and best wishes to you Andrew at this truly devastating time. For those whose lives were touched in anyway by Martyn it is inconceivable that he is no longer with us. Be strong and know that Martyn's spirit lives on and his memory will always be honoured on this board and beyond. (Wednesday 24 May 2017; 23:53)

Martyn (75,640) by Colin from UK There are no words which can bring comfort to all those who knew and loved Martyn. To his family, friends, loved ones and all those who knew him, my sincere condolences.What a desperately sad situation, my thought and prayers continue for all those involved in this tragic event. RIP Martyn. (Wednesday 24 May 2017; 13:36)

Re: [censored] Andrew (67,137) (67,155) by Colin from UK I haven't posted here for a very long time but I wanted to correct the assumption that starting a sentence with a conjunction is incorrect. There is widespread belief, which has no historical or grammatical foundation, that you cannot start a sentence with a conjunction (and, so, because, to name a few) when in fact you can. Many highly respectable writers do and have done since Anglo Saxon times. I agree that teachers, mine included, strictly taught that you should not and would correct you if you did, but this was not taught based on fact but rather opinion and myth. I would also agree that you wouldn't want to start all sentences with a conjunction as this would lead to unattractive prose and would make sentences seem fragmented and this may also be one of the reasons why teachers "banned" the use of it. I remember my teachers telling me that I should never start a sentence with "because" but would constantly hear my parents say, "because I said so" or indeed, perhaps the most known use of because as an introductory word is in the advertising tag line, "because you're worth it". And it didn't do them any harm. (Monday 10 October 2016; 9:45)

UK fan meet / Andrew (54,947) by Colin from UK Shame really, given the expressions of interest that there has been in the past. I appreciate you trying to pull something together though. Should anything go ahead in the future, definitely count me in. (Saturday 27 June 2015; 15:45)

Andrew: Carey-oake (54,931) by Colin from UK Yes Andrew, definitely up for a UK fan gathering. I was, at one time, looking to arrange something and believe we have exchanged emails on this previously. Unfortunately, I suffered a personal family crisis which meant I could no longer organize or participate at that time. My situation is now such, that I would be interested in being actively involved in a UK fan event of some kind. Email me, colinclarke1977@gmail.com and let's talk. (Saturday 27 June 2015; 0:58)
