told you guys what a bloddy good crew you are?
I´ve seen another crew (ups ... did I really said I´ve been to another gig than to an EMBRACE one?) extendig a 30 minutes fesival sound check up to 70 minutes (without ANY MAJOR SOUND-PROBLEMS visible) what finally lead into a 12 minutes gig (because one of those mighty thunderstormes made an end to all pretty soon)
I´ve never wished my back to an EMBRACE gig so much, then this time..

See ye in Leeds
Karin G

Hey Karin, where you there at Leeds? Did you enjoy it? Didn't see you, but there was a LOT of people there!

Hello Abbiss, just thought I'd say we missed you too mate. Kept looking around to see what the baby was up to now and there you weren't. Nice one for the diary entry as well, see you at Reading.

Heh Abbiss, I missed you too! What happened, wouldn't your mum let you out to play this weekend??

See you at Reading, if you've been a good boy.

Abbiss,I didn't miss you at all & stick to yer kite cause I've sold the scooter.

Sob sob sob, I'm grieving loads fellas just cus I missed ya'll sooooo much. See yas at Reading- around evening after my overnighter thing. PS Beeves bring scooter Ive got a new belt for it, all the way from the US of A.
I got a new kite today- an 8ft flexifoil for those who know- rockin- need weights on my feet to keep me from flying off though.

Milky requested that I put the diary entries in date order as you read down the page.

Ever one to please I've done this. Not sure that it works too well when you look at the previous 21 days, no doubt Millky will tell me if he doesn't like it.

My diary entry for my gig from hell in Bizzare will be up soon, (only been home an hour or so give us a chance), and there'll be a few more pics for your amusment.

Have fun.

Feeble excuse HHJJ, the people want the diary entry now, none of this only been home an hour nonsense ;-) Actually I think it was Des who requested the diary be in actual order and I agree. However, I have an idea for the diary that would make it look even better and easier to read. You know me, full of ideas that involve work for other people :-).

Oi, Milky. I've done it. Just gone 6PM on the day we got back from Germany. Bit quicker than your 60 hours after the event!

Dave,top diary input as opposed to the orgasmatron pic of me looking like Davros (main Dalek dude?)

hi all.
cant believe we have yet another board.
like the site v. good

I like your site guys I always read it but seldom leave a message, so I thought I would just say, keep it up it makes me laugh a lot to read the diary pages. You should consider publishing. The Life & Times of An Embrace Crew Aged 13 3/4 I like all your photo's too. Aly x

Thank you Aly and thanks Daure too. We all enjoy doing it, even the luddites amongst us. All praise should go to HHJJ and Abbiss for their sterling efforts.

I just flicked on here for a sec and there have been absolutely NO new messages since the last time I was here. It's a pity.... this is an ace site and the fact that the crew take the time to answer the peeps is a BIGTIME plus in my book.... Cheers guys!

Go forth unto this world and spread the word of our happy bunch.

That diary is one of the funniest things I have ever read. Whoever is responsible should get themselves a publishing deal right now. I love the story about HHJJ and the Bold, how could I ever have thought you were scary?

Thank you Polly for your kind words and thanks to Caroline too for her encouraging words. HHJJ is only scary on his passport photo and he's really funny when he's trying to be grumpy! B.T.W. Haven't looked on the band site for a bit but I don't think there's a link to us yet is there?

nope, not a link as of yet.

This whole idea of this site is wunderbaaaar (that's not a Swedish word)...I bet it's the best crew site around...without a doubt. It's so much fun looking at the mad pictures...hihihi.
Mmmm...I want lunch now but I'm not getting any for another hour...boring..I'm bored here at a computer/internet cafe/place...at least I am a master at Excel now...see you people around...I'm gonna stop being all scattered and nutty now, just wanted to praise this webbie. Love and Peace, Setareh

Just a quick note to say "Bye Bye Boys!" and to thank you for all the hard work once again-especially Dez(without whom none of this would be possible)
Missing you already!!!

I know you're all probably very busy but I guess I was just hopin' that there might be some sca from yesterdays German festival..... The other entries were brill... sounds like alot of fun on the road!!

There will be an entry for Haldern, just as soon as Milky get's his finger out!

Some snaps have already been uploaded. More to come.

Cheers for that Dave.... Lookin' forward to reading it. In the meantime, enjoy Deutschland, eh?

Actually we all got home from Germany on Sunday. The Hamburg gig was canceled on us.

So it's now Monday afternoon, and STILL no diary entry from Milky! Robb Colls would have done it by now! And after all the stick Milky gave Garry about Gary's lack of entries, too!

I'm with Dave on this one..... c'mooooooon Milky!!!

Hi Caroline, diary entry for Friday 11th is now posted. Saturdays is iminent. As for you HHJJ, threatening text messages don't scare me mate! Spent Sunday at a friends barbecue and had a lie in today is that a problem :-) ?

Cheers Milky! I just loved reading the last entries and was so looking forward to the next ones.... It's great to hear the "on the road" stories from some sort of perspective..... there's nothing about them on the band's official site. So, congrats to whoever is webmastering this site..... nice job!!

Hope everyone's happy now, including you HHJJ. I've posted the complete weekend diary and now I'm going to have a nice good hot strong cup of tea to celebrate.

raise if your hand if u r heart-broken.
*raising hand*

Why ya heartbroken Raymond?? Need a hug?

WOW! Just read the last few entries of the diary! A work of pure genius by all concerned. Sounds like a really interesting couple of days...

omigod! just spent about 15 mins reading the last 3 diary entries. the airport sounded pretty hectic, but well done Robinson for sorting the airport staff out proper!! would like to have been their just to have witnessed the madness of it all! sounded like one of those things you see in documentaries about.....airports!!!

I've just updated a load of the code for this message board.

If anyone has any problems with it please email me.

Thanks.

gary fanx for sorting me and me mates out at Dublin castle.....yer new hair (lack of) looks mad too...cheers

And many thanks to you too Fireball for standing me up at Witness!!Huh, men, you're all the bloody same xx

Please could I have some real information on the guitars the guys use! None of this "Embrace exclusively use woodenones with some plastic bits and some metal parts." thank you very much Gor!

Embrace exclusively use wooden ones with plastic bits and metal parts.

Aaarrrrggghhhhhhh.

hehehehehehehehehehehe. brilliant. (i luv my sweety!)

No wonder that Gorden answers emails like this ...he eats AMP´S !!! Especially VOX amp`s !!!!

That Gorrr- he's such a funny young lad you know.

Hi kids.Sorry we didn't get the chance to say tatty-bye after the vh1 thing.We were all heavily in discussion about the next lp, and when Mick mentioned it in the bus driving away from vh1 we all went BUGGER.Anyway Desdamona you soft on the inside hunk of a man, we'll see you all at the weekend.The site looks great.Love Danny

Hey dan....you ran off pretty quick after the acoustic witnness gig too...me little sis was gutted!!!

Heya danny, u guys started preparing for tour yet?? working on new LP already eh?! good stuff! keep up the good work but don't forget to breathe and relax!

Ohh nice photos. It's a good job you didn't get a photo of me becasue I'm scarier than the lot of you put together xx

Naw.....shes lovely really.

Hi So you're all swanning off on even more holidays hey? I hope that you have a great time in Ireland, I hope that you miss 'someone already within the organisation' a little bit. Have some wine for me xxxxxx

Has anyone else noticed that Gary still hasn't posted a single diary entry yet? Not for Berlin or Thailand! Lots of excuses but no substance my friend! Now, Steve Chapman would have done it, wouldn't he lads.

Check out 06/08/00. I`ve finally done one.

...and then I clicked submit entry, and the site bloody froze on me. The whole Thai diary lost in a matter of seconds...bugger.I must speak to the webmaster about his dodgy site....took me bleedin` hours that did!!!

Yeah Right! Expect us to believe that. Hrrumph!Must be that new Laptop of yours, shoulda bought an Mac mate! B.T.W. Steve Chapman is going to be at Benicassim so you better try a bit harder that weekend, and he's buying an iBook, blah blah blah......

B.T.W?

B. T. W. = by the way.Oh, do keep up at the back there Robinson. Steve Chapman would know what it meant!

Yeah alright...Anyway, I can`t help it if you old `roadie` types keep using code language from the war.How am I supposed to know what it means...Jeeez!

I'd just like to point out in the interest of fareness that Rob Collins wouldn't give Gary all this grief.

Erm, who's Rob Collins? Oh, you mean Mr Coles! Actually he would, he's worse than Dave and I put together.
