Robbie all the way.. :wub:

Poo too. :mellow: He will be back to No. 1 soon. :D Love the forum banner.

Talk about timing..did he know something everyone didn't. I suspect Robbie would love to see these files.

Brilliant

edited because it was a double post. Sorry.

GRIMLEY FIENDISH The difference between Andrews war and Harry's is totally different, the Internet is one weapon that was not around during the Falklands and its a dangerous invention, and as MUSHYMANROB mentioned the enemy and the cause was slightly different, they were not fanatic's or terrorists, I feel pretty certain that if Harry had ever been captured by Argentina, they would have respected his life and other soldiers under the Geneva Convention as all POW's should be, the Taliban in Afganistan would certainly not and it does not bear thinking about. The ramifications of that nightmare would be huge. As for Jon Snow, he is a very respected journalist without doubt, that is why his comment was met with shock, he knows more than anyone in the Media the existence of restraint in the cause of security or a threat to life, and although he is entitled to his view and said it afterwards, he kept quiet under the agreement, which to my mind was a double standard on his part, if he felt so strongly about reporting it, he could have done. He wouldn't have much of a career with his colleagues afterwards, but he could have spoke out. But there has always been awareness during times of war of making sure that careless talk didn't cost lives, or "loose lips sunk ships" and the Media will unfortunately have to employ that option more than we will ever know.

Hello MUSHYMANROB Thank you for replying to me fella's, I am pretty brave myself entering into "man debates" lol BeautifulAngel I wish you and yours all the best. GRIMLY FIENDISH, thanks for your debate with me too, we all have our views and its a tricky and serious subject, I am with you that the UK should not be there especially without any assistance on manpower or cost from our EU allies. In answer to your comment regarding the blackout on Harry's deployment, the press do have agreements that mean they do not have to report everything to the public when its considered to be a security issue. The explanation to this can be found on the BBC Editors page. I am sure that this agreement has been used widely and for many different reasons. They are at the end of the day applying common sense. I can also see how you would view it as propaganda too, and certainly the media have had a field day with it, that was the proviso for keeping quiet. The right to interviews and filming. I personally do not think it was a good move and indeed the MoD has been accused of using Harry in that way. I will leave you guys to it now.

I have been reading this debate with interest, and have tried my hardest not to spit chips. I guess us ladies do not like to refer to Prince Harry as some have, all I can say is at least he has got em, b**locks I mean, regardless of hue. And I differ totally in my views, the media have not forgotten our lads out there, they have called into question many times our involvement in Afganistan , as the the public at large appear not to know why we are, and its not often that I stick up for jounalists. Who you should be directing abuse at is the Government, they are the ones that keep quite about injured troops returning to our shores, insisting our forces fight on two fronts and carry on despite warnings that our troops are stretched to the limit while our European neighbours input in committing troops is next to nothing. As for the American website that blew the whistle after picking it up off an Australian womans mag in January, ask yourself why it took them so long to make it front page!! our forces are out there in support of American policy and our Government has supported them, and what does an American do puts lives at stake, and not just Harry's, everybodies, because they had a scoop. Friendly fire indeed. I realise you won't agree with me reading some of the comments and sneers towards a member of our Royal Family, but at least he got off his ginger b**locks and commited to something he wanted to do, and if along the way, he has highlighted the effort on behalf of all our boys out there, THEN BLOODY CHEERS TO HIM. Sorry

Robbie's Angels without a doubt, if its not considered already. :)

I wish that could be true..I love cricket and especially the 20 x 20..great fun. Somehow I can't see Robbie doing it, although he could surprise me, he said he hates cricket. I'd love to go to any 20 x 20 match, although its pretty much over before its began, the 50 over game is great too. I'd go even if there wasn't a celeb in sight.

Here is the article..with thanks to Purerobbie and Robstar at TRWS Williams manager: Robbie's not on strike Friday January 11, 2008 Music Week By Ben Cardew Robbie Williams’ manager has told Music Week that the singer is not on strike, although he confirmed that the artist will not deliver an album for EMI while the label is in its current state of upheaval. The Times reported this morning that the singer is on strike in protest at Terra Firma’s treatment of EMI, which it bought last year, quoting Williams’ manager Tim Clark. However, Clark denies that the singer is on strike. “On strike? I didn’t actually use those terms,” he tells Music Week. “What we actually said was it would be unrealistic to expect an artist – any artist to deliver an album while we have no idea where EMI are going,” he says. Clark explains that he is unhappy with the way that the major labels – including EMI – have dealt with the problems and threats posed by the internet. “It needs a concerted effort and frankly the whole taking a big stick to our consumers is not going to work. We need to provide a carrot,” he says. “Until the industry starts to work together we don’t have a prayer.” Clark also explains that he did not compare EMI owner Guy Hands to a “plantation owner”, as widely reported. “That wasn’t aimed at Guy Hands,” he says. “It was the major record companies, because their ownership of the copyrights treats their artists like old-fashioned plantation owners.” “Guy Hands hasn’t had the time to do it yet,” he adds.

Tim Clark via Music Week has denied that Robbie is on strike - Tim Clark says he didn't say words to that affect to The Times.

He does suse, and like you I will wait.

I will wait for him to come back. I am a bit saddened that we have rather a longer wait for either the album or an appearance, but gosh it will be like a drink in the desert when he does. As long as he is well and happy that is what matters and he sounded both to me. :cheer:

I liked it Supreme, very well done, and the title of the song pretty much sums it all up doesn't it.

I know its hogwash, yep I do lol..but I also view it as a bit of positive retaliation, thats been long overdue, just seeing the facts and figs of his 06 tour and putting it out there has to count for something. It also could be that his PR machine is being oiled ready to be wheeled out.

Happy Christmas and New Year to everyone who loves Robbie as much as we do.. :yahoo:

Loving In and Out of Love..I haven't stopped listening to it since I downloaded it. luv it :yahoo: luv it. :cheer: Break America is growing on me, the first part I think is the worst bit..I wish he started it with a vocal rather than the chat rap, whatever it is. The beat is good and it is catchy after you get past that first bit. Still nice to have them both.

I couldn't get in either yesterday, but luckly for them, I did tonight. So all is well in Robbie.com land again.

A very nice Christmas gift from RW and I won't shoot a gift horse in the mouth but I don't like Break America, or Walk This Sleigh, but I do like In and Out of Love.

We wish you a Happy Birthday and a Happy New Year Osiris. :lol: From Susie and Jackie x

It a great picture of Robbie, I wonder if he is spending his 5% or whatever percent it is from Take That royalities. Keep it coming lads..

What annoys me with all these type of articles, is the total spin placed on it, how to turn "Rudebox only got to No.4" into a negative, when it could have been a positive. He has not had a top 10 hit last year, a negative, instead of the positive, he is taking a year off, a positive. And I hope Gary Barlow did say that they don't want him back, good, maybe now all this tripe will stop. I would be upset if Mark Owen did say that, because if he did that sounds like sour grapes to me, and some friend he turned out to be. Remember Knebworth Mark. Well they ganged up on him before, so what's new this time. :angry:

That was a lovely video, thank you.
