EssentialTension Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 [quote name='discreet' timestamp='1342379824' post='1734085'] Why is he looking for a bass player if he himself is a bass player looking for work? [/quote] Here's your answer: [quote][size=4]Mark Percy extensively slandered and misquoted on the Internet for decades, with false documents, untrue fabricated stories and entrapments, designed to cause conflict and trouble. [color=#000000]a Mark Percy was Internet illiterate for decades, and is still Internet illiterate, having spent all of his time studying other areas and developing techniques and developments, research and findings, and only recently discovered black propaganda and slanderings and misquotings on the Internet with false documents posted up for decades unbeknownst to him.[/color] [color=#000000]b False documents promoting and promulgating conflict, where no conflict would otherwise have occurred.[/color] [color=#000000]c Hidden third party intervention, that was highly developed, with specialist knowledge, in order to create extensive misquoting on the Internet, with false documents, designed to slander and black propaganda, stir up trouble and conflict with untrue lies.[/color][/size] [size=4][color=#000000][/quote][/color][/size] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlapbassSteve Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 [quote name='cloudburst' timestamp='1342363764' post='1733746'] I think this may be the person in question. Worth a read.

bassist_lewis Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Mark plays with his thumb. Mark plays 4x15 Ampeg cabs Mark is left handed but Mark plays right handed instruments. Mark has studied Reggae music since he was a teenager Mark has studied heavy metal since he was a teenager Mark is internet illiterate which is why mark has been slandered on said internet. Mark doesn't want to be contacted by mobile phone Mark wants to be contacted by landline Mark would like people to leave messages on his answer phone. Mark would ask that people persist with their enquiries because Mark's answer machine gets interfered with by the the lizard people that run the country... I've met far too many people like this. Edit: its a great advertisment for being self-taught that he can only come up with one way of starting a sentence Edited July 15, 2012 by bassist_lewis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassist_lewis Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 [size=3]"The talented artist or musician, the intellectual, the person of deep philosophical or spiritual thought of whatever age, must somehow be freed of the grind of daily life to pursue activities of a higher order. I am not going to even begin to suggest how this could be done, only why. It may be completely politically incorrect to suggest it, but these people must somehow simply be allowed to follow their hearts. If we do not find a way to make this so, then the loss to the world of the fruits of unusual mind is the price we all pay.[/size]" Its called the Dole queue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 You would think if he is worried about "black propoganda" he'd like the yellow on a Mark bass cabinet/amp oh, and just like before he tells us twice in the gumtree ad female bassists are welcome to apply....

The guy I'd incorrectly linked the original advert to is certainly a character, but not in the same league (and not even in the same sport). And just for the record, a guy who states several times that he's internet illiterate does so on his own website? C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
