Dear Fed
I just remembered something.
You know that the box set of mini-discs (actual mini discs of vynal) of all the Pink Floyd albums, it’s currently retailing at £144.00 on Amazon but I don’t think its for sale yet. I love the idea of little discs to put next to the early vynal big discs I have. So cute.
I think that is gonna be a xmas pressy to me, along with the book, the DG strat etc etc etc.
Thank the Lord for Mastercard!
Then its my birthday exactly one month after Xmas day, so I will get more pressies for me then, plus its a milestone birthday, but I ain’t gonna tell you which one! That’s a hint to everyone to buy me lots of PF/DG stuff, by the way! Start saving now!
I start back with Mark in our studio on Monday. I’ve been away for almost 5 weeks and he’s done no business stuff at all and there’s a lotta people who need to get paid and a lot of people who have paid us, but not been receipted. The goon hasn’t even put cheques in the bank. Love him really, but he is a goon where business is concerned!!
Don’t forget to watch Arsenal on ITV4 tonight!

When telemarketers call, act as if you have attention deficit disorder and keep changing the subject. You could pretend that you are hard of hearing and have them to keep repeating themselves, or simply ask the person if they know a foolproof method to clean blood stains out of carpeting. That’ll shut em up.

Last night I had a young lady call me with a telemarketing survey, just wanted to ask me a few questions about my radio listening habits.
One of the questions for statistical purposes went as follows: “I can’t ask your age but I need to ask you the following, what month and year were you born?”
I told her duh, what is the difference?? I answer that question and you still have my age. She laughed.
Where do they come up with these???
Thanks.

Oh yes, Dr Phang. The only way to survive…….. :-)
When telemarketers call….
I have found the best way to get them off the line (apart from being rude) is to say “mmm yes i’m glad you called it must be to do with the impending court case i have with your company.”
It always seems to be a short discussion following that.
Whoah Cori. Box set, Book, Strat…
Good choice.
Hey everyone…
Fontana, Ca is not the place to be right now…I have extensive wind damage to my house and about 4 fires are burning nearby. It is smoky, dusty and miserable. But glad to say my family is ok.
Hope everything is okay for the people living in San Diego County. They are getting hit the worst.

Excellent article on Climate Disaster specialist James Lovelock, F*Ed…

Still haven’t got my prize…please tell me it’s safe!!
[I'm sure of it, Emilio. Please continue to be patient. - Features Editor]
Did Cori have an “I’ll get me coat” moment? (Yes, but only for a few seconds….)

PS–Bah, telemarketers. I hates them.
When they phone say i’ll just put you on hold and then place the phone near a speaker and walk off – if you don’t hang up they can’t make another phone call! It is also very unlikely that they will phone back again.
[we try so hard to save the world's resources, right, so why do we receive so much junk mail?]
You should be grateful you get mail. What with the Royal Mail striking and not being bothered about the backlog everything gets held up.
Even though the strike has finished for the last two weeks i’ve had no saturday post and yesterday the post didn’t turn up till 3 ‘o’ clock! I ordered a record two weeks ago, it was put in the post on friday and it still hasn’t turned up a week and a half later.
Thank you…I was only joking (he said)
Is the 0001 Stratocaster that David owns the first made/oldest stratocaster? In Guy Pratts book David says that they don’t come older than it, but i’ve read in other places that it isn’t actually the first strat, just the first numbered strat.
[It's not possible to identify the first one made, but 0001 is pretty close to it. - Features Editor]
[Well done, nutter ... - Features Editor]

Tim,
hope you are doing ok with the fire. We have been evacuated and stay with friends in O’side. It’s going to be another long day.
Good luck to you and anybody in SD county.
Hey gang,
Just thought I’d drop a note.
I hear there’s something going down in California at the minute, so hope everyone from there is ok.
I didnt go to the pub yesterday, I know, I must be ill!
Hope everyone is Happy Days,

Dear FEd,
I really like that photo next to the Ritzy item on the DVD page. Is this a one-off or do you know of more being taken? I hope more will appear on the site some day…
[I know of one other. That will be here towards the end of the week, possibly next week, as it's crying out for a caption. - Features Editor]
[Excellent article on Climate Disaster specialist James Lovelock, F*Ed... - Matt]
Thanks for that, Matt. While it is a rather bleak prospectus, I’ve always felt that this is the only natural fate that awaits us as a species.
As we are keen to observe in biological studies, exponentially proliferating species ultimately implode upon themselves. A common example is algae blooms in an isolated pond. They eventually consume all of the oxygen and kill off every living thing, including themselves.
Human vanity and arrogance (mostly a biproduct of religion) leaves the masses believing they are somehow “better” than other living organisms. As such, we will continue to plow headlong into oblivion.
Sad, but true. Perhaps we should be planning our retirement in the Arctic?
Mike
Radio fun at work….
I can listen to Yahoo music while I do my worker bee thing on the PC, guess what they have added to the playlist–Remember that Night
I am listening to Shine on You Crzay Diamond as I write.
I also just got the DVD. I ‘heart’ David, Polly and this band !!!
Signed,
A Happy Camper

We no longer need hard copy mail. It is a waste of both time and precious energy. Just ask Kramer..
[We are "an irritating species." - Features Editor]
I think John Wayne said it best…
From what I have read, the 0001 Strat that David has is an early model Strat from the mid-50s. It was not the first one made particularly since Fender did not start out making white Strats. It was probably one of the first custom made Strats as it does have some non-standard options. But it is from 1954 within months of the first ones produced. So we can split hairs here all day if you want.
I also read that there is another Strat out there with the serial number 0001. That one too was not the first one made.
Thanks.
Andrew
Hi FED,
I’m wondering what other Saucerful Of Secrets that Cori has to share with us. I’m sure there is something inside The Wall. LOL.
[And before you Sassenach's all start crying that it was a try that was disallowed... I agree it was a try. His foot was in the air when it went over...]
Nope – his foot was in touch before that – no whining here, England did well to get to the final … only one other team did, don’t you know.
Finally, decent numbers in the U.S. for RTN sales. I hope it goes platinum soon. I understand that in the U.S. platinum means something like a million sold? Varies in each country? We all want David to be able to cover a wall with gold and platinum for probably the best dvd and album made.
Renee, Tim and Eva…praying the fires go out soon.
Congratulations to the birthday people and the programme winners. And thank you to David Gilmour and Co and FE’d for all the possibilities given here.
Take care all.
love,
jan
Hey!
Congrats to all the winners
FEd, just wanted to let you know that the DVD came in today. Thanks very much.
Cheers,

[You're welcome. - Features Editor]
I went as fast as I could to get home and check the site, I can’t believe I won:)
Thank you so much, what an honor to recieve something so special…

Thanks again FEd, I couldn’t be more excited!!!
[Congratulations. - Features Editor]
For those in the US it is possible to stop junk mail.
Click my name for the web site for US Federal Trade Commision.
To those who are in California, take care.
Hi FED!
This is my first comment, and I’m glad to see this great site for fans. I especially love the recognition that Rick gets in this page and in Remember That Night video
(can’t wait the Hungarian release of the DVD!)
Congratulations to all winners! There will be other contests in the future?
I hope that stuttering server will work fine today!

[Hello and welcome, Liz. There certainly will be more contests in the future. - Features Editor]
What ho, F Ed!
The guitarist on the new PG Tips advert sounds awfully like David Gilmour. Might as well ask… is it?
Typhoo’s nicer. Typhoolala.
[They haven't ditched those annoying monkeys, have they? - Features Editor]
Fed are you worried about sunday yet? be afraid, be very afraid…. actually pride comes before a fall & I can see Liverpool derailing Arsenals season on sunday (i hope not but its probably due)
[I'm trying to take comfort from the fact that Arsenal haven't really been tested this season, but I feel that your lot could give my boys a good hiding this weekend. We've been poor, especially in front of goal, whereas Arsenal are always a joy to watch. Let's see. - Features Editor]
Bollocks! Been on holiday for a week and I cant believe I missed this competition.
My two pence worth while we’re on the subject of ebay.
I’m still a winner as I got 2 unsigned progs from the London shows in September. These will never be up for sale and will only leave my possession if you can steal them from my cold dead hands.
Years ago I bought several signed items, gold discs and memorabilia from an online site which cost a small fortune. These came with a certificate, but there is always a nagging doubt that these items could be fakes and not the real McCoy like the winners here have won. True fans always get shafted by greedy people and ticket touts alike. That really pisses me off.
Well done FEd and everyone at one fifteen for being a “conduit” between true fans and the band. Thanks to David for doing this as I know he doesnt like signing items in case they’re used for these profit making purposes.
Congratulations to the winners.
See you on the chat this afternoon.
Hello FEd,
Congratulations to the winners of the programme contest.
For your information, Belgian magazine ‘Humo’, issue 3501 of Oct 9 has an article/interview with Robert Wyatt, in its series “Hoe zou het eigenlijk zijn met …” (in English ‘How would … be doing ?’).
It covers his period at Soft Machine and then his new album ‘Comicopera’.
At the end Robert refers to David in a question about whether he will be seen on stage again.
Here’s the translation of that part :
Humo : Obligatory question : Is there a chance we will ever see you at work on stage again ?
Wyatt : Last year, during David Gilmour’s three concerts in the RAH, I played my cornet for a few minutes. Dave had played guitar on my previous cd, but how do you pay a millionaire for such a contribution ? So I decided to do it that way. But I got so anxious – the worst form of stage fright – that I immediately remember what I dislike so much about performing. So no, no concerts.
Hope to make it to the chat later today.
Best regards,
Ralph
[Thanks for that, Ralph. - Features Editor]
Dear Fed
7 – Nil…7 – Nil didn’t Arsenal do well. Fabregas was fantastic. Do I feel sorry for Prague…er..NO!
…And whilst Arsenal were making mincemeat of Prague, MU cooked a delicious chicken Kiev with a 4-2 win. What a good old lively night!
SHINE ON!

Hi Fed/Matt,
Is it true that John Wayne didn’t actually do any Army service?
Paul
[The guitarist on the new PG Tips advert sounds awfully like David Gilmour. Might as well ask... is it?]
I thought that PG tips used Albatross like M&S did.
The only time i’ve heard Pink Floyd in a tv advert was a couple of months ago ITV advertised Wire in the Blood using bits from DSOTM.
Gem – I thought that about the guitarist too! Maybe they have a spy who heard David is a freak for PG Tips. A whole lot better than flipping monkeys, tho. Hey I have nothing against monkeys, but lets face it, they hardly need the cash!
I have discovered some smashing tea, tho and recommend that everyone tries Tetley’s Organic Tea Bags. £1.50 for 80 in Tesco. Smooth, strong and very comfortably yum!
See you at the chat, hunnies!
Love Cori xxx
Cori, I think that you have proved once and for all that having holes drilled in your head doesn’t release the “bad demons”. . . ;^)) You do know that alcohol and pain medication don’t mix, don’t you??? ;^)) Shine on, Cori!!! ;^’)
Matt, thanks for bringing James Lovelock’s article to everyone’s “attention”, it’s very interesting. . . It’s what many “real” scientists have thought for years and years and years. . . Nothing beats the truth. . .
Michael in New Jersey, you seem to have changed your tune. . . Good for you!!! Do I detect tones of Hysteron Proteron in your writing, huh???
I’ll pass the article on. . . Tally Ho!!!
Fed,you have to read so many comments,I would become mad if I had your work,you must be a patient man,absolutely.The least I can do for you is to wish you a good day.
Bye
Piero

Dear F.Ed.,
it’s lovely to read all the messages of congratulations to the very lucky winners and i absolutely must join with them as i’m happy for the winners too!
I cheer up myself ,also because i’ve missed this opportunity:
1. by watching this beautiful picture of a smiling Mr.Gilmour (sigh)
2. by testing the D.Gilmour’s music therapy on myself (watching RTN dvd many times !) as in this last month i’m a little depressed (due to the fact that i have again some trouble with a knee , already operated 10 years ago, and i’m walking on crutches …waiting patiently for the visit by the surgeon in 15 days…and then we will see!)
At least when i listen to his music i can range far and wide and i can feel always deep emotions.
Thanks again for all
Take care
Bye/ciao Elisabetta
