Hello QZ people. It's me again. I haven't commented on this site for AGES and now i've done so umpteen times in a few days - for what that's worth. Anyway... can I have clarification please? And I have some thoughts for you... ONE. Barbara YV... the beloved QZ person whom you've all rushed so tenderly to support, console, generally cheer up and smother with gratuitously flattering and lovely – not to mention moving - comments of support, during this recent tumultuous period; could someone tell me her surname please - if this doesn't contravene the all important anonymity thing? I would like to know because I apparently spoke to her in Vlaardingen last weekend, but I can’t remember it. I can only recall one Barbara, that being the one of the infamous Byng variety. Is it THAT Barbara we’re talking about? I somehow think it isn’t. On a serious note, and regarding YV (whoever that is), Barbara... I picked you out at random the other evening in order to have a pop at what I guessed might be a ‘typical’ QZ-er, and attempt to get a few backs up in precisely the same way as numerous QZ-ers try to get my back up. It was nothing personal – as I had not the remotest clue who you were. And boy, did I get some backs up. Many people jumped all over it with genuine support for you (you popular lady, you) while others took the opportunity to build bridges and generally sicken me (and others) with some inexcusable tongue activity of the anal kind... Mr Stuart you ought to be ashamed. I was genuinely puke-induced, and to my astonishment some of his closet cohorts and chums lapped it all up. It was the lickers leading the licked! My genuine and honest reaction to all that followed my ‘attack’ (as some of you called it), and I still think this, is that a lot of you QZ-ers can dish it out easily and readily enough, but you HATE it coming back at you. My random pop at YV proved absolutely how hypocritical some of you are. It also proved you have no sense of humour and that you can’t see an 18 carat wind-up when it smacks you in the teeth. What did we talk about in Holland, Barbara? Did you think I was a complete tosser, then? Did you get the impression that I thought you were one? I ask because I seriously have no recollection (until you prompt my poor memory) Are you having a bit of a ‘moment’ with me because I said your comments were inane? If that’s the case, remember I was on a wind-up. I hope you have a more evolved sense of humour than some of the weardies on this site – that wouldn’t be hard. Go on, have a little laugh with me now about it. Don’t be taking it all too heart. I am a kindly chap meaning no offence. TWO. What’s the BACK CHAT issue which I couldn’t be bothered to reply to... apparently??? I can’t face sitting here reading ALL of that stuff, but cut to the point and I’ll do my best. THREE. I read on this site the exact same points OVER and OVER and OVER again, even though someone has offered conclusive evidence for the definitive answer. Yet still the same question comes again. I see also that this aggravates many of you – and I sympathise. Is this the real GREG BROOKS? God almighty! 15 times at least. Even though it was concluded that it WAS, and there was even proof offered. You guys do not even believe what you say and tell each other, so what chance has an outsider got? Do you guys get annoyed when people ask the same questions, long after the answer has come and gone??? I can relate to this. It is unbelievably boring and tedious, right? FOUR. I think arse licking, grovelling, sycophantic “love me please, I’m nice once you get to know me” bridge-builders, should be slowly but very surely OUTED from your site. Does anyone else find such people skin-crawlingly unpleasant, and agree with me? FIVE. Do my comments about your dear chum YV mean that some of you won’t talk to me any more, will call me bad names, want to see my broken like a biscuit, or ask me questions about what John Deacon |
Robin 21.10.2004 18:01 |
I’m going back to listen to them now, while a good few of you lot no doubt sit and write your little notes about this thread – unless you sulk now and deliberately don’t write anything, in protest. I’ll monitor the odd thing on this site, when I get a chance. Thanks GB Hmmm, so damned if we do, damned if we don't kinda thing. Whatever. You're not worth the effort. |

8th Personal things belong in the personal section 9th Personal attacks are so low and not worth to have a long life at this board 10th Better dig in the things that you have to do then bothering us with some more unnecessary info that no one takes serious |

It's unfortunate that you choose to act this way and be so antagonistic to the majority of QZ users. Your anger is misplaced and your attitude shows a general naivety about the internet.
Somehow, you've seized upon a perceived jealousy that your position and access to Queen stuff causes most people here. This inflated self importance you show is boring. Take away the fact that you are associated with Queen Productions, and you are no better than a common internet troll. A shame, really. You could have added much to the dialogue among Queen fans and made listening to Queen fun again, but you've gone the other way and become spiteful.
I’ll monitor the odd thing on this site, when I get a chance.Translation - I'll wind you all up, act like it's really unimportant to me, and watch you go. Is this how you feel important: winding up people you'll never see face to face? |

Right Zeni, and let's now turn back to something that is more impressing then useless backstabbing of an old and definitely frustred man :) |

So, what do you all think of celery? Fabulous vegetable. Even better with peanut butter! Yum. |
AC 21.10.2004 18:17 |
Good old British humour! Just a wind-up, ha ha! Well, dear GB, replying to your wind up in that thread I called you a "complete idiot", "sad and childish person" and "really laughable". After reaidng that it was just a windup, I can only say one thing... I was right. Fucking right. But don't worry, I will not ask you if Hangman studio version exist. Now we know the truth (not thanks to you of course). PS: Zeni is right, as usual. |
Megamike The GREAT 21.10.2004 18:20 |
Tell you what Greg, You deliver a copy of EVERY concert you have access to, and even those that you know about to me, and I will not only give you her surname, but address, phone number, dress size you name it.. its yours.. but FIRST, I want the shows... Balls in YOUR court Buddy... |
Bob The Shrek 21.10.2004 18:20 |
and also better sticking out of someone's asshole......... Don't get in a lather Greg, it's only an 18 carat wind up....... |

Hey GB, I've been following with amusement the postings of the last few days so if you don't mind I've decided to take this opportunity to respond to your points. 1) You may have chosen YV to attack at random. I do not know for sure. I doubt that you did but I can't say for certain. It seems quite a coincidence that you picked her of all people but stranger things have happened. 2) Most of the "Back Chat" comments were directing you toward a thread which if you had chosen you could have gone to and commented. 3) It's been proven that you are Greg Brooks and yes most of us do get tired of going over the same ground all the time 4) There are butt lickers here, there and everywhere 5) I personally do not know Your Valentine but I do feel the unprovoked attack on her was not warranted. That said it would not prevent me from "talking" to you if you had anything worthwhile to say. We would all likely listen if you had anything of use to tell us. 6)How lucky of you to be listening to some nice rarities. You are in an enviable position which it appears you are happy to flaunt!! Thanks for coming out Greg, I really hope you stick around and answer some of the Zoners questions because we are all true fans. The present and future consumers. Most of us have spent a lot of cash on one of our favorite bands. Bye for now until you get a chance. Rob |

I could never love anyone who types in caps - it's a wonder I even looked at this thread. I'm with Zeni and all the rest. You aren't doing yourself any favours by randomly picking someone to attack for no particular reason. That's exactly what some of the more infamous ex-QZers did. |

C'mon guys, what're your thoughts on celery! Delicious, tasty, crunchy, healthy celery! Mmmmmmmmm! Celery! Boy howdy, i could just sing the praises of this green vegetable all day long with nary a care in my head. |
jericho05 21.10.2004 18:44 |
Celery and peanut butter!! That brings back memories!! I love celery stalk in a nice ceasar!! |
Janet 21.10.2004 18:45 |
Mmmmm I love celery and peanut butter...I had some just today!! |
Lester Burnham 21.10.2004 18:45 |
Isn't is just delicious? Yum. I could certainly go for celery right now. Who's with me? |

I will surely put the kettle on.... Tonight hubby is flying in from a business trip, so my son and I ordered a pepperoni pizza. |

lol it looks as if I'm having nothing for dinner!! |
Lester Burnham 21.10.2004 19:03 |
Yum, I had a pepperoni pizza for dinner last night...and for breakfast this morning! It was one of those double-melt dealies from Domino's, quite delicious. I don't know why I like it so much. And Jericho, I'll give you some of iGSM's dinner. He doesn't need it anyway, the tubby. |
Bob The Shrek 21.10.2004 19:05 |
I had turkey, potatoes and veg. No sugar in my tea Juanettooooooooooo! |
Carrots Of The Piratebean 21.10.2004 19:14 |
No sugar for me either Janet thank you |
Maz 21.10.2004 19:19 |
God, you people drive me nuts. Here we have a serious topic started by Greg and no one thought to ask him what he had for dinner. I had waffles by the way. Sounded good. |
Janet 21.10.2004 19:21 |
Two teas, no sugar..coming up! Yum, I love making waffles for dinner now and again. |
Fireplace 21.10.2004 19:27 |
Damn! It's late at night, my fridge is empty and you people have to start talking about food? I would even eat celery and peanut butter, which just about the weirdest combination I've ever heard. |
Bob The Shrek 21.10.2004 19:30 |
Get yourself down to a 24hr market and buy a nice tub of Hagen Daaz or Ben & Jerry's! |
Lisser 21.10.2004 19:34 |
I had smokies, veggies, and curly fries. Mike, aren't you on probation? You better be careful. |
Fireplace 21.10.2004 19:35 |
Thanks for the kind advice Bob, but were talking rural Holland here. Still got a couple of centuries to go before we get an allnighter. Cheers! |

Food ... ah, food. Well, had some funky taco salad from Taco Bell because tonight was a concert; thus, I ate at 9 pm instead of regular (i.e. whenever my dad comes home from the doctor's office). Wish I had some nice tea about now. Or chocolate. Either's nice, and both would be a plus. |
Robin 21.10.2004 22:19 |
Spaghetti and salad here. I'd love a cup of tea too Janet. Today was good tea weather. |

We could call it the "Queenzone Highlanders"! (Sorry that was a little Scottish Regimental humour... Queen's Own... OK see the above!!!) (PS: Loved the grovelling Greg - can I take lessons?) |

John S Stuart 22.10.2004 02:02 |
Sorry to return to being serious here - but from someone who started a negative thread "Someone pass me a bucket please - JOHN STUART IS GROVELLING" I find it difficult to reconcile these statments. The public appology - "My random pop at YV proved absolutely how hypocritical some of you are. It also proved you have no sense of humour and that you can’t see an 18 carat wind-up when it smacks you in the teeth". The private e-mail - "Jeffrey, take a look at the sheer number of threads or inputs (whatever they’re called) some of those people have. THOUSANDS of them. Jesus, when do these people find time to write 2,754 notes... You can post this if you like." link The private e-mail: WHY ON EARTH DO THINK MY WORK WILL BE HARDER FROM NOW ON???? YOU MEAN BECAUSE I UPSET YOURVALENTINE AND SOME OTHERS? IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN... YOU MUST KEEP ALL OF THIS STUFF IN PERSPECTIVE. IT IS ALL RELATIVE. IF 99 PERCENT OF QZ PEOPLE HATE ME... THAT STILL REPRESENTS MAYBE 0.00001 PERCENT OF THE QUEEN FANS. YOU SEE WHAT I MEAN ABOUT ‘RELATIVE’ AND ‘PERSPECTIVE’. link The public apology: My random pop at YV proved absolutely how hypocritical some of you are. It also proved you have no sense of humour and that you can’t see an 18 carat wind-up when it smacks you in the teeth. The private e-mail: Yes, I realise I have a privileged job. link The public apology: I’ve been listening to some fab Queen rarities today, and jolly interesting and exciting they were too!! Oh yes! Splendid and generally awesome, they were. I’m going back to listen to them now... I could go on - but what's the point? I don't know what I want to say - or the point I want to make, except Greg, I think that this apology is insincere - and I am thinking about kettles and the colour black. |
Saint Jiub 22.10.2004 02:15 |
John - IMHO, I think it is time to start ignoring GB and not be dragged down to his level. Rather, I believe you "should" be continuing the many positive things you have been doing for Queenzone (if you still feel so inclined), and stay out of GB's mud pit as much as possible. |
John S Stuart 22.10.2004 02:26 |
Bullwinkle: You sir - are correct. Thank you for the advice. It's just that I mull things over in my head - and it itches (metaphorically). I know the best advice for an itch is to ignore it - but you know when you start scratching - you can't stop! But you're right. Thank you for that. |
Libor2 22.10.2004 06:12 |
I'm also inclined to stay out of GB gossip here. He haven't said absolutely nothing about Queen and all in all his elaborates seems very boring to me. I'm also positive he's been doing all that intentionally (from whatever reasons). If he'd be some anonymous newbie, nobody here would ever care about such bullshits he'd written. On the other side, John, I find some of your comments about Queen's stuff in other threads really fascinating and interesting for me, so maybe you could continue in this, rather than fighting with some GB. This is the first and also the last time I write anything about GB. For me he doesn't deserve more attention than that. Pity. Have a fine day all. |
-fatty- 2850 22.10.2004 07:53 |
This sad prick is still under the impression that we are jealous of his position as Queen's official archivist. While that may be true of some, Mr Brooks ought to look a little further into the future and think about how jealous we're going to be when Brian and Roger are appearing in summer season at Butlins. Take your rarities, your box sets and that third rate fucking band you work for and ram them up your hole. fatty. |
Hank H. 22.10.2004 08:58 |
I'm with fatty. Listen to songs that were not worth a release in the first place, listen to them because it's your job or because you like to listen to the same songs for a decade, and please don't stop listening to them so that you don't find the time to spam this board again. |
BrianRules 22.10.2004 09:21 |
Come on people, let's stick to the original topic. Celery with peanut butter is good, but I like it with cream cheese better. Oh that's right, the original topic is this: how can someone with ties to Queen, therefore representing them with his actions, would throw his "power" in our faces? This guy is definitely full of himself. I don't understand why he would want to alienate himself from the fans, who ultimately contribute to his pay check. I'm sorry, but what a dick. Does Queen Productions know how he is representing them? |

It's great to see that everyone on Queenzone can come together and laugh. It hasn't been like that here in forever...great to see that it's turning around! Just a question...IS anyone here jealous of a certain Mr. Books? I'd rather take my energy and find someone worthy of being jealous of...like Freddie or Hendrix or something. Of all the people to be jealous of, really....I mean, you could be jealous of anyone, living or dead. Would anyone pick Mr. GB in that case? At least be jealous of Jim Hutton. He got to screw with Freddie, after all. -Amethyst |

Oh Greg, Thou turn'st mine eyes into my very soul. And there I see such black and grained spots, as will not leave their tinct. Basically, you're a right bastard who's obviously got too much time on his hands? Would QP be so happy to know the joy their lovely employee is spreading around the Net? I think not. |
