If only it were that easy ... best, bert [/quote] This seems as good a thread as any: Why are you called Bass Tractor? Are basses and tractors your thing? Do you play bass while operating heavy machinery? (I hope not) Is your real name Robert, Hubert or Egbert? If English is not your first language, please may I compliment you on your incredible grasp of it; you seem to be able to express yourself, whether it be humour or viewpoint, effortlessly.

Knew it wouldn't end well when he let an underage girl into his apartment.

BetaFunk Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 (edited) What i find the strangest thing about this whole thread is that how serious this Beatles thing is. As someone who witnessed Beatlemania the one thing i do remember about it was that is was FUN. No time then for po-faced crusaders telling you what to listen to. Just four blokes from Liverpool singing their songs and when interviewed were usually amusing and cracking jokes (usually at the interviewers expense). When i used to go over to Twickenham Studios after school to get a glimpse of them (along with hundreds more school kids) during the filming of A Hard Days Night & Help we went because it was just a fun thing to do and a great time to be young. Nowadays if the same thing occurred you'd probably have a load of middle-aged studious types there with laptops rather than screaming kids.

[/quote] Oh ... no! Why these questions? Is this really necessary? Diverting a perfectly nice and cuddly thread to talk about [b][i]moi[/i][/b]? Wouldn't it be more fitting and appropriate were I to get my own section on BC, where we could all talk about me into the low-numbered hours - - for days, weeks ... years on end? OK then, under a lot of doubt. - The name stuck after a funny episode while I worked on an agricultural school, where I drove the biggest, fastest tractors (50km/h was fast back then). - Basses: very much so. Tractors: nope. - Nope, but the bass does hide some of it. - My real name is Bert, though you will find Albrecht in my birth certificate. My father calls me Albert. Discreet gets a fresh £4 note in the mail. I use HP, so you know it's good. - Thank you very much. However, my English is far from as good as often believed, and it's not effortlessly, but takes a lot of time and a lot of effort, and I still miss the ball a lot. I've written about the hows and whys earlier. Had my English been better, I would not have gotten in so much trouble on the Apology to Bilbo thread. I'm not being coy here, or moaning. I'm simply dead serious. Nice band, eh, The Beatles? Any stuff that you'd recommend I should start with to get to know them better? best, bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
