Have Aussie fans now given up the ghost on this one? what do you mean by this question sorry I don't get what you are talking about here I know of one - (or more?) Aussie petitions to get Queen+PR to Oz. I just wondered if, as you said, you were closing the petition, you'd given up hope that they would come? |

Why do you want to know this? It is logical that the answer is never. We will never give up hope for it. The petition is still in the process of closing down - the campaign side is now also shutting down. But the Aussie Queens movement is still very much out there and very much alive. We now run the Aussie Queens Australian and New Zealand Queen Fan club and are very much active as before just doing new things out there.
The petition has to shut one day and that day has come this week. There are still things happening from both our end and Queen end until the end of this week - just because the petition is shut does not mean that it is over and they are not coming. The Aussie Queens petition is the official petition for Australia and New Zealand. The guys make the final decision on this we have just made it all possible for them to come here if they so wish. There was more to this than just the petition - there was also a massive campaign running down here for this to happen which we spear headed and got all the various key groups on board with us locally. We will get some indication from the guys soon.

So I think it's only fair to ask. It would be nice to keep us up to date about it. I know you won't be telling any details as why and how much the "Queen end" is involved. So if you don't want to answer this bit - don't post it.  Otherwise you will have people ask you how far their involvement in this campaign goes. Anyway, I am sure all fans will appreciate your efforts and I do wish all the OZ and New Zealand fans good luck and pray that Q+PR will tour there!!!  |

Thanks for the replies. I know there was quite a lot going on because I got wind of bits and pieces over the months. As I said before, I also thought it was worth a mention in the article I wrote for the FC mag...which MIGHT...be turning up any day now... This is all part of my intention to get much more of an international focus there. Also, I know that people have spent a lot of money on this when they could have spent it going to Japan to see Queen+PR.
Advance Australia fair! ;D

Anyway, I am sure all fans will appreciate your efforts and I do wish all the OZ and New Zealand fans good luck and pray that Q+PR will tour there!!! Well to be honest I did not want to speak of the campaign in here as you seem to get rather touchy about certain projects and sites I have on the go - I have tried to keep your end informed and even include your section in some of our activities out there - I don't think you are being fair with this post here Brigitte especially after every time I mention on your boards anything to do with Roger's Meadows or Aussie Queens I get a pm from you. So I can go by what you order is permitted in here and since you have made it rather clear that no Roger Meadows links outside of this post nor Aussie Queens links - I do not discuss these sites nor their business in here as per your request. So why would I risk upsetting you as the owner of this forum with information you have made it clear to me that you do not want on your boards - so please don't put comments like this up to me when we both know that if I even mentioned this stuff in here you would get all upset about it. Not sure why as if the information to inform the various Queen communities out there happens to be on Roger's Meadows or on Aussie Queens you seem to get so upset as soon as I put a link anywhere on your boards about it and it gets a positive response. I really find your actions now that you have decided to take this to the boards rather insulting Brigitte and I think you should not really be up on this post pretending that it is all ok for me to post about the campaign and our affairs elsewhere when you have time and time again pmed me telling me you are upset or angry about my putting a link up in here to my sites or information up in here about the campaign. Your boards your rules - I respect your decision but I ask you not to come on here and play dumb publicly and give the impression in here that I chose not to talk about these matters in here - and yes people were interested in here with these matters but you have done all you can to ensure that I know it is NOT OK to mention these issues in here. And if you were thinking the same as Alison well that is news to me as all your thoughts that you have pmed me with to do with this subject are totally opposite to the public impression you are giving here - I think it would have been better if you did not comment on this discussion between Alison and I - I was responding to Alison to try clarify what she was asking me. I think you have stepped into something you should not have especially since you have just contradicted everything you have said to me in pm's - sorry Brigitte but enough is enough - you can order people to behave a certain way and say only some things and not others on your boards but if you are going to come out on them and contradict yourself when you have been so vigilant behind the scenes gagging what I can and can't say in here well then I am sorry but you are the one who has made this public not me. As for behind the scenes with Queen and us - it is NOT for PUBLIC DOMAIN - bottom line no negotiation on that point. Now to get back to our previous arrangement in here - I don't mention my stuff in here as per your rules. |

Isis, I wrote in my post:
a) Yes, I also thought (like Alison) that the campaign ended because it didn’t get anywhere (which would be a shame. And please don’t try to put another meaning in this sentence!). You never wrote that you closed it for the reasons you did!
b) It would be nice to keep us up to date as far as the status of the campaign goes.
c) And I said: “I know you won't be telling any details as why and how much the "Queen end" is involved. So if you don't want to answer this bit - don't post it. Otherwise you will have people ask you how far their involvement in this campaign goes.” And I meant: Don’t post any details about your connection with the Queen end FOR YOUR OWN SAKE otherwise people would like to know details about it. Got that?
d) I wished you good luck with your campaign and I meant it after all the work, effort AND money you put on this!
So how the f*ck could you interpret these few lines the way you did and say I am giving a totally different impression here on the board then on the PM’s I sent you? The only thing I PM’d you about is (and don’t even try do deny that and try to pass the buck to me): Is it really necessary to link to your website updates at rogermeadows.com (not the Aussie or OZ websites!) each time there is something on the board that is related to your latest efforts? All I did was asking you not to do that in the threads but post about your website updates at rogermeadows.com in this thread only. That’s what I did cause I got tired of it. And I said I am not advertising my website on your place and I asked you not to do the same. There was one example of the screencaps you posted on the VH1 thingy and I said in a PM: People do know the link to your website by now and will check for updates when you post about them here. That was that day that you linked on 3 different threads to your website updates at rogermeadows.com and I was slightly annoyed by that ONLY! I am hardly writing on here that I update the site and never on your boards. People know the main site and are all clever enough to check it for themselves. And again, this is the truth so don’t deny it. Don't say that I am dragging stuff from personal PM's on to this board. That is what you are doin now! I would have no problem with posting my PM's here if you wish to re-read them.
And to get one thing straight: I did not ORDER anything, I ASKED. I don’t have any RULES on here except for those in the separated thread.
You said you found my actions or better previous post insulting? For a change I think you insulted me – publically on here. If you wanted to relieve yourself for some reason and have a go at me – well done. You were successful!
Thanks for spoiling my day.
Thanks for making me look like a bitch when all I did was replying to your post in a nice and friendly way.
Oh, and thank you for telling me that I am not allowed to get involved in discussions you have with other board members on here… I did certainly not know that.
Note: The only reason I wrote website updates in bold is that you know I meant your website rogersmeadows.com, not the campaign. Just not to get that wrong - AGAIN!
By the way: I used smilies in my post to make sure you get the meaning right. So again, please re-read my previous post. I don't think you bothered to really find out what I meant. You rather put words into my mouth!

Oh dear!  I didn't know all this would result from my innocent question! I just want to carry on writing about the band and fan activity, and most things I hope to offer exclusively to the fan club...Due to time restrictions, I hadn't been looking around the net - I could've found the answer I wanted about the Aussie petition on Queenzone as it turns out, rather than causing this 'can of worms' to be opened here!  As for publicising certain info, we all understand the sensitivity of some stuff...in fact, nobody knows what others might know here, because do what we should do, of course, and keep our mouths shut when something like that passes our way. Anything that's interesting to me for writing purposes would, of course, already be in the public domain somewhere or other - and there are times when I can take the time to poke around for it. In that way I find out a number of weird and wonderful things. Off topic, I really feel it's a positive thing to contribute to the fan club in this way and am finding it upsetting that there are certain people on QOL who just want to hijack the debate and get attention for doing so.  Just wanted also to take this opportunity to plug a site that's been set up by Ale of the Italian Queen Community: www.QueenCuttings.comHave looked at it briefly - certainly worth a visit to read 'bits and pieces'! |

Thanks for the interest in the Aussie Queens story - it would be better if you emailed us to find this stuff out I think. Interviews on boards is not the way we do it with those that cover our story. We are happy to assist you but recommend you contact us formally through our website - www.aussiequeens.comThank you for your interest - Queen has handed down a response to the petition btw on Queen Online if you missed the news.

Right oh in relation to the petition this is the message Queen have handed down publically - I don't see this as a failure at all it just rules out 2006 that is all - we were not expecting them 2006. Things have changed for the band since the USA tour - they have their own solo stuff to get on with and then it is off to WWRY stuff in Toronto at the start of 2007 - what this is saying is that touring is out for 2006 that is about it.
Mikes post sums it up best.
There you go your up date from our end for in here.
Thank you

I'm sad to inform you guys that Queen have no plans to tour again in 2006.
Fantastic effort with the petition, though.

Folks,
Although this is the current line of communication, such plans can change on a regular basis. If anything, the Aussie Queen's campaign has generated a huge wave of awareness of the interest that there is for Queen to tour downunder which has NOT gone unoticed within the Queen camp. Bring on 2007 I say!
Cheers
Mike

Thanks for that, Isis. I dislike QOL and its forum and visit as little as possible. (I certainly don't have time to plough through the various threads). Most stuff I find out via the Queenzone news section, and indeed, I got talking to Richard Orchard on the way to this year's UK FC Convention about this very topic, so I managed to find out one or two more things in connection with it. I'm not a formal or professional writer, I'm just writing as a fan, picking up what I can here or there - in my spare time of which I have very little. I thought it would be great to slip something about it into the first article I've written for the FC mag. Unfortunately, the thing has STILL not arrived...  |

ok thanks for your interest if you need to speak to me about this matter you can PM me I am happy to give you what I can. There are heaps of news articles on the story so just run a search Aussie Queens and you should get most of them that way.

My last post in this thread:
I am "irritated" that my last post was obviously not worth an answer wether here nor in a PM (which I would have preferred anyway). After feeling still sad and puzzled about it I decided I am staying out of any discussion going on in this thread as wished. This should be the best for my peace of mind anyway. After all, this should be fun.
So this thread is all yours!

My last post in this thread: I am "irritated" that my last post was obviously not worth an answer wether here nor in a PM (which I would have preferred anyway). After feeling still sad and puzzled about it I decided I am staying out of any discussion going on in this thread as wished. This should be the best for my peace of mind anyway. After all, this should be fun. So this thread is all yours! Is this really needed - why did you not pm me this one - what was the point of me responding to your last comment all I would have said is "I stand by my words" As for you not commenting on this post at all -that is not my wish just was requesting that you allow me to clarify what people are trying to get off me information wise in relation to the campaign especially when it was for a printed medium. I was talking to Alison 100% before you stepped in and Alison was talking to me - I actually think that now I have found out what Alison was asking me - it would have been better if I was pmed in here rather than asked on the boards - but hey each to his own. Now I know and understand what Alison was wanting from me - I can now deal with the matter. I did not know who Alison was - could have been anyone to me - and if you had been through a quarter of the shit behind the scenes that I have been through with this campaign from certain factions you would be checking people out before you just gave answers out on the boards also. Anyway I did not see me commenting on what you said previously was a productive thing to do and would only make a mountain out of a mole hill. I took a moment to go over what you said and took out all the personal stuff and just got down to what you were asking of me - Aussie Queens information - so the most important bit of information out of all the campaign was released in the public domain a couple days after the incident in here and so I brought the news in here for you all - as you noted was now ok. You know for upset and all that - shit happens just move on from it - I said what I had to say you said what you had to say. I took in what you said and have followed your requests in your previous post - so were you ignored NO - why do I need to PM you or post a direct response to your thread when I have acted on what you said and brought you the information you wanted. I have this to say though about the pic with Rog looking at that chicks tits - firstly I had no idea when I posted it you had it on your site also on the main site - I do check your main site but at that time I was run off my feet and had not gone over every section of it. I actually brought that pic in here to share it with you - thought it was a bloody beauty of a pic and showed Rog off rather nicely - I was trying to contribute in here - but seems no even this is also a form of "Advertising" - The other responses I gave on that post were direct answers to 2 posters that had asked me specifically if I knew where to get certain information from – it was on RM. The other reason I threw up the link to RM news section that the 5-6 different links to all the getty pics and so on was because I did not have time nor did I think it would be a big deal if I took them to where the information was in one click. My intention as I stated before is not to upset you and I have obliged with your requests as they have come in - it is clear to me that any mention of Roger's Meadows or links to any footage (even cross footage that none of you linked one of your posters to and RM did have up on it and therefore I linked them off to that to get it as it was about to be changed over) is forbidden in here also - you have made it even clearer with your previous thread on this post - not only that but now I cannot tell you all when the change over has happened on this post you permitted me to have in here - Do you know why I bother to come in here and tell you all new footage is up? Oh right it is advertising - NO - it is to let you know when it is changed over so you can get the footage. I get busy at times FLAT OUT - I don't even keep up with getting Meadows fully changed over all the time now - so I let you know on this post when the change over has occurred to make sure none of you miss out on the footage - and that includes you. You continue to just see it as advertising and well I will not update you all on this post anymore when the change over has happened - as you have made it clear that this also annoys you. You know you get annoyed a lot over me trying to give information out. I see you have totally misinterpreted what has happened of late - was there any point making a big song and dance over it - NO. You make it clearer every time that RM is not to be mentioned or linked to in anyway now - so I had responded to you last time you made this clear and deleted the information all out of the Rogers Pics post on your boards even though I was answering some questions that were asked directly to me by some in here. Seems that is not ok also. Anyway I can go on but what is the point you will just blow up again no matter what I say or do in here. So yeah sorry folks but I will not be able to update you any longer on this post when Roger's Meadows new footage is up for you to get it - you will have to now check the site each day - when I do the change over can be anytime from the 1st of the month to the mid way of the month. July is an exception - as the campaign closed down this month and I just had no time to do a major change over for Roger's Meadows (also why I have not bothered to go point by point over what you said Brigitte) - as (and this is for you too Brigitte) it is Roger Taylor's birthday today (happy birthday BTW Rog) - when I come home tonight from work I will be releasing extra RT footage. So check the site tomorrow I guess should be a safe time. This will be my last comment about my change over of footage for that site in here as per requested by admin in here. As for why you did not get Aussie Queens stuff in here - you seem to have forgotten it was ruled out by you very early in the piece in here (pm in Feb from you remember)- I came in here for fun not work - I liked it in here and had some good friends in here amongst your community - you all knew my official Aussie Queens url's so if you wanted to know about all that stuff you could have checked the sites. If I had inside information I was privy to release out there from the contacts I knew I did so in here as well as Aussie Queens and Queen Online - I did not have to come and share it in here with you - but I did. But I kept Aussie Queens stuff out of here as you requested back in Feb in a PM to me. You seem to have forgotten - you asked me to contribute to the boards apart from that - and I have done so - again a pic that I did not even reference in here (which I normally always do as it is breach of copyright if you don't) was seen as advertising as you had it on your site – and everyone is supposed to know this! You know you did not have it in your forum so that was where I looked before I stuck it up in here to make sure you did not have it in here on the boards already. I am sure there are others that can relate to my side of this out there. Also Brigitte - you know maybe you should just stop and listen to what I am saying instead of getting upset and maybe learn to be a little more open out there - I stopped and listened to you and acted on what you wanted me to do and did it. I did not have to even bother bringing in the official handed down message from Queen in here - but I did it as a direct result of what you mentioned previously about wanting to know Aussie Queens news. Well it is all finished with now - and did you not notice something in here? - where is it on here where I mention the radio show? It is not even in here. This would be seen by you as advertising so it is just not worth sticking up stuff like that in here as you will most likely have a pm ready to fire off to me once it is posted – it is in the Queen Zone news your members can get the news for that one from there. Anyway now you have requested a response (which I did not get a PM from you telling me to respond to your thread BTW) here it is. Isis |

Isis, whatever I would reply right now would be misunderstood as being upset or not open minded. Unfortunately you don't know me so you would know better. So I am staying out of this as said before. But thanks for answering!

Isis, I cannot be bothered to read your previous litany as well I'm non interested in the aussie campaign either. I wish you luck though and I hope Bri and Rog will reward your effort by touring australia soon. As for your continious advertising and hinting at your site, I gotta say, Brigitte was not the only one who got annoyed by it. Not to forget the fact, that it's not very polite to advertise your own site on a foreign one. This site here is the only one I need regarding Queen. Brigitte keeps us informed with everything important, makes great effort to keep the site udated and to provide pics, vids and stuff. I appreciate this more than I can say, but she knows it anyway. It's not neccessary to keep us informed about your updates, Isis. If people are interested in your site, they will check automatically.  |
|
Otherwise you will have people ask you how far their involvement in this campaign goes. 
| OB - SWB!
