Apparently he also wears a fuckin black Trilby to !

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 23/11/2009, 15:50 (GMT)

# Posted by Keef - 23/11/2009, 15:54 (GMT)

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 23/11/2009, 16:01 (GMT)

Guru!!!!
Isn't it enough being Lord Vader of Blacky???

# Posted by Bass Bloke - 23/11/2009, 16:05 (GMT)

Keef was givin it large Mc'ing for us on Sat G, gonna start calling him Trilby Tom and the Titfers

# Posted by Keef - 23/11/2009, 16:52 (GMT)

The trilby is an elf an safety feature.
The overhead lighting was being reflected offa me head and dazzling the customers so badly they were walking into the walls and pillars. Well thats my story an I'm sticking to it

# Posted by Coldplayer - 23/11/2009, 18:50 (GMT)

still not convinced it's a scam. indulge it until they ask for your bank details!

# Posted by DYEHOUSE - 23/11/2009, 19:29 (GMT)

err Mr Coldplay!
feel free to indulge it yourself and bank details or not just see if they ever stop bombarding you with emails?
I'll give it a miss and give them no reason to think I exist!

# Posted by John Wilkinson: - 23/11/2009, 19:35 (GMT)

Shaun.

Trust me it's a scam. They will at some point ask for your bank sort code and account details. If you reply you will generate countless emails from other Scammers which will just piss you off :-(

my advice fwiw?

AVOID

# Posted by viking - 23/11/2009, 19:38 (GMT)

ermmm- i think we might be doing mr ogungbe a serious disservice here, people?? i've been just as guilty!!

# Posted by HAPPY DAIZE - 23/11/2009, 21:26 (GMT)

The chances are his ID has been hi-jacked by the scammer to give it some form of legitimacy.

Rob

# Posted by Keef - 23/11/2009, 21:30 (GMT)

It ain't me working under an alias either lol

# Posted by viking - 23/11/2009, 21:36 (GMT)

@ happy daize- "The chances are his ID has been hi-jacked by the scammer to give it some form of legitimacy."
t'would seem not-it's a genuine link to the website (check the url?)-most spammers/con artists hijack another url to disguise things? plus there's dozens of genuine links via google? :-0
and keef- c'mon now- t'was you all along, wasn't it? :-P

# Posted by Bass Bloke - 23/11/2009, 21:40 (GMT)

WAS THERE ANY SIGNS OF A BLACK TRILBY VIKING ON THEM SITES ?
soz bout caps to idle to re type

# Posted by viking - 23/11/2009, 21:44 (GMT)

@ bass bloke-nope-but there's quite a few redheads in the videos on there? -h'mmmmmm!!! ;-)

# Posted by Bass Bloke - 23/11/2009, 21:46 (GMT)

Redhaeded African ladies Viking !
KEEF !

# Posted by Keef - 23/11/2009, 21:51 (GMT)

Haaa haaa !!!!!!
Wait till Jan 2 mate They will all be wearing one behind the bar "

# Posted by Keef - 23/11/2009, 21:52 (GMT)

Wheres me damn passport!

# Posted by viking - 23/11/2009, 21:52 (GMT)

@ bass bloke-and european ones too!!-ermm- i'm beginning to think "his royal gigginess" may well be "fronting" this, after all??:-D

# Posted by Keef - 23/11/2009, 21:58 (GMT)

Blimey chaps, I am struggling to get me head around myspace, a web site would be one hell of a giant step for me. Might be some-one trying to depose me tho V? lol

# Posted by Bass Bloke - 23/11/2009, 22:06 (GMT)

LolViking, his royal gigginess"
Top man our keef ehh m8, even tho his head attire is strange lol

# Posted by viking - 23/11/2009, 22:06 (GMT)

@ keef-unlikely bro, who'd be silly enough to try to take over from you?? lol! plus-redheads? possible trilby sightings? h'mmmm??!! lmao!! :-)
seriously, though, have been doing some checking up whilst commenting-the evidence seems to point to it being genuine-they're just using a "scattergun" approach to attract bands/musos/singers over there-there is good money to be made, apparently, (by promoters) for western music at the moment. :-)

# Posted by viking - 23/11/2009, 22:08 (GMT)

@ bass bloke-gotta give respect where due, dude?? :-)

# Posted by Keef - 23/11/2009, 22:10 (GMT)

Lol V and Trig.

If it is genuine, any band taking up a potential gig should ensure its watertight regarding travel costs,hotels, transport to and from as well as part payment up front for the gig. If they are serious all of these will be honoured.

# Posted by Bass Bloke - 23/11/2009, 22:11 (GMT)

Shit ! I cant go then , i fink i might be banned from Africa now

# Posted by HAPPY DAIZE - 23/11/2009, 22:13 (GMT)

Don't forget work permits, too, Keef
