Reply to Scott by Markie G

Having read Scott’s blog I thought I would reply to him as I seem to be in the blog a lot. These comments are directed directly at Scott.

I have never tried to ruin your Wedding I was passed your booking by another DJ who did not live in the area and felt that because the client was "difficult" it might be better for someone who is from the area as he was not 100% sure he would be able to do the booking. When I found out it was you Scott I refused it and said that it would not be fair as we have had some issues I said that I could pass it onto someone else in the area that has no link to you and I know that they offer a good show. Little did you know Scott but the mic stand that you used was mine and I gave it to the guy to use as he had forgotten his. I told him not to tell you because this might have upset you and whatever I might think of you your Wedding is one of the most important days of your life (mine certainly was). I would never have done anything to take that away from you.

When I read people’s comments I always remember that it’s from their view point as the same situation can be seen differently by many different people. You sniped at me as you went past so I reply to that you then decided to try to turn that physical which is your choice I would not have backed down and I am not a coward as you put it. I do not like to fight but if I have no choice then I will. I thought that you were more intelligent than to use your fists. On that day I won simply because you lost you cool mind you I still do not understand how we even fell out in the first place. When I first came to the pub I thought that we got on well trying to get Andy to sing a Dennis Waterman song. On the point you made about the Staff that same member of staff told me something different maybe you should think about if they were just telling you what you wanted to hear. Times do change and we fell out.

I never comment about you unless I hear you comment about me. Often people take a disliking to me because I am the louder one of the group half of what I am blamed for is in fact nothing to do with me. Some of the worst singers in the pub have turned out to be the best entertainers. I go out there to have fun some songs I can sing some I can not but I try.

It’s also nice to see that you like Nikkie she is really entertaining and is always ready to have some fun. Any comments that are said to Nikkie by me are always made in the nicest sense possible she has her own style when it comes to singing and she should stick to it not changing what she does because some idiot in the pub insults her (not saying it’s you Scott)

As a final thought I would like to say that I am not a nasty person and I am happy to have banter with you. You feel the need to snipe at me which again is fine I am not sure how entertaining Crabs can be maybe that’s not an insult. I do not think people come into see me nor do I believe that they come into see you. They are there because of the pub and Andy. I knew that you would come to Tuesday nights after your night was cancelled and I hoped that nothing would be said but that was not the case. I am more than happy to draw a line under it but that would mean that you would not snipe at me. If you want banter then that’s fine but do not get offended by it. I have not commented about your wife and will not even though she did square up to me on that night, I understand that this would have simply been done to protect her husband but if this was anyone else other than me she might have gotten hurt. Whatever you may think of me I would never disrespect or hurt a woman.
