Erm, hold on there Suigi... I think a few of us are planning on purchasing this product. I, for one, am really excited about a singles box set, and I think most fans here are. I may already have most of the singles, but that doesn't mean I won't buy it anyway.

Exactly. I'm also pretty excited about this release.
And once again, if Greg's spending 14 hours a day working on this singles boxset, it's because QP have decided that this is the next Queen product to be released, and want his help on the project.
There's no point moaning about the non-existence of the full boxset; that's entirly out of Greg's hands now.

I know, but someone's gotta start making a big stink about it.
Otherwise, we may never GET that boxset unless people start ASKING for it.

Yes, but you're raising a big stink to someone who has no control over it. Send your stink to Queen Productions and Jim Beach.

Such a pity that the archivist of our favourite band is an absolute wanker. Perhaps the job should have gone to a much more rounded and understanding individual - me for instance.
14 hours a day, my arse! Someone's taking the piss here. I could have knocked a box set up in about 10 minutes.
Admittedly, the cover would have been done in crayon and there would have been some glaring omisions. Whole years for instance, but you wouldn't have noticed with a bit of Tippex, or a photo of a naked lady.
I've got 'A Human Body' B-side on vinyl, y'know. That would have been a start.

Dear mr Brooks,
I am still waiting for your constructive response to my last post in this thread ... I know you are working 14 hours a day (less , or more), but since you have been so active lately on Queenzone, could you reflect on my comments?
Stefan

Stephan,
You have written some very very boring stuff here today... honestly, it really is exceptionally dull reading by any standards. And you keep on about English LABOUR law, but no one in Englan has the vaguest clue what you're on about. "LABOUR' law???? Where did you get that from?
Maybe you mean English Common Law, and even if you do, it's still very tedious to waffle on about laws you clearly know only 2 percent about. You writing down stuff you clearly found on a web site somewhere, or which some joker in a pub told you, doesn't make you the best company in the world.
You also say that we once spoke on the phone!!!! i have no recollection at all - not one second of it. So you must have been equally riveting and fascinating then too. Did I actually talk back to you on that occasion? Maybe I was asleep.
Do you think you could try and write something amusing or witty or constructive, or basically anything at all that we can read and have a laugh at? I got only one paragraph into your diatribe earlier on but genuinely lost the will to live, so just scanned the rest of it as quickly as I could. That's not a good omen for someone who spends as much time waffling on, on QZ as you do. You need to keep peoples' interest Steph old man, not bore them into coma. do you follow?
TRS... does that stand for TEDIOUS REPETITIVE STEPHAN, or something else with TEDIOUS at the start? I see now the need for your nickname.
Come on Stephan, be interesting. Write something TO me or ABOUT me, professional or personal, that is so fresh and original and sparkling with wit and sharpness, that all the QZ people congratulate you on such a brilliant thread... now that WOULD be a first for you, right? And no emailing your mates to ask them to respond in glowing terms, either... that'd be cheating.
Your words so far have been exceptionally uninteresting, now come on and startle and amuse us. Do you have any charisma at all in you, desperate to escape?
And no more English LABOUR law please, coz like your pin-sharp personality, it does not exist.
ALSO... the Property Of Queen Productions things, which at least a dozen of you keep re-quoting, was funny the first few times, but any chance of something else now? something fresh and funny.
ARE YOU LOT ALL SHARING the same book of 'jokes' or something? Be original. come on.... please say something new and funny and out of your own creative minds - not borrowed words. That isn't much to ask. Just think for yourselves... THOSE OF YOU THAT JUST COPY OTHERS, I MEAN... before you ALL ge arsey. The boring copy-cats know who they are.
You can do it! Think ORIGINALITY. Think FUNNY. Think FRESH. Can you do that TRS?

FLASHMAN...
Same goes for you too. You have all the wit and originality of Paul Daniels' Magic Show. Can't you think of something funny or creative to do or say either? you poor sod!
What are you doing spending so much time on QZ for anyway?
Your words are LITTERED all over QZ... clearly representing MANY MANY hours of you sitting there writing all your little things - collectively it must run to MONTHS of your life!!!
Have you considered doing something more constructive than having a pop at me? There are MILLIONS of things better to occupy yourself with... really... MILLIONS. How dull must that be! I'm guessing there isn't much going on in FlashmanWorld, then.
Don't despair. It can all change quickly. I hope it does for you too.
If you had spent the time you spend writing on QZ doing something like.... er... writing a book or researching some rare aspect of Queen, or tracking down rare lost Queen gems, by now you'd be able to offer something useful... maybe. think about that.
Do you have many friends Flasher Man? You have only one, don't you???? Come on, be honest. All those hours and hours of writing. You're not the most popular chap in town are you? I should take the mick really. You poor thing!

Well I just joined here today 'Greg' (if that's you) and Queen Arc. are the same person (I'm unsure as Greg originally posts as GB - which is usual for him for many years publically and privatetly, but as he signs GB maybe I'm wrong), but the writing style shares few similarities.
Maybe now you've calmed down or had a beer/wank (deletes as appropriate), but the thing is, regardless who you are, the post purporting to come from Greg and signed GB is an dreadful representation as a Queen related person, and I've had my share of being a total git on the net over the years.
Having read the whole 5 boring pages of it so far, it seems that there is some history between JSS and GB that isn't public, and maybe some misunderstanding. It seems neither believes the other for what ever reason and both seem to think they are superior, but JSS seems to have the upper hand in politeness, reasoning and genuine honesty, and I for one would feel better if he were the Queen Arc. than Greg even though I know GB to be a huge fan and I've even met him at the Convention (1996 I think), and know he has his heart in the right place as far as archiving, he just doesn't seem to have the ability to control his emotions. It must be a stressful job to do. 14 hours a day working for Queen - it sounds like a dream job, but I bet it isn't and I hope it's just the stress and the real GB will eventually retired to Ibiza as he's always wanted too.
Will the Real Slim Greg Brooks Please Stand Up.
PS. Is there a website where we can see a list of John S.Stuarts rarities - I'm interested in what he's got and Queen haven't.

Okay, Mr Brooks, I have one question for you too: when you for the last time have seen John (you named Brian, Roger, Jim as your bosses) and how's he doing?
...................................................
You are wrong. I didn't name ANYONE as my boss at all. I only mentioned those people as being open minded.
I am SELF EMPLOYED. How many more times???
This means I am MY OWN BOSS. Do you understand the concept of SELF employment? You work for yourself. YOU are YOUR OWN BOSS. Do you comprehend this now? Please say you do. It really is very simple - like.... no, let's not go there! We did 'SIMPLE' last night.
I have 'clients' whom I do work for. Queen is one of them.
This really is not difficult to get your head around once you start doing your own thinking and ignore the sheep who all follow one another on QZ, saying, "THEY SHOULD SACK HIM."
I could sack myself. I might do that one day, and give myself an ENORMOUS reduncy package because i obviously deserve it, don't I Serry.
SELF employment. Got it now?

I haven't seen John. And I don't know what he is up to. I genuinely don't.

I think, in my late night semi-drunken haze, that I've seen the light.
Greg is no more than a banterist, much like Dudley Fufkin or (to a much lesser extent) Fatty. I can actually see the intended humour in the posts now, rather than the unwarranted attacks on people he has no understanding of or basis upon which to judge them.
I'm 'getting' your humour now Greg (or am I just drunk?). But I'm not getting your insistence that unless anybody here replies in a witty and novel fashion, you're gonna slip into a coma because your nerve-receptors haven't been excited enough.
What's wrong with replying in a measured, serious and thought-out tone, to what is a fairly (in this 'world') serious issue? What's wrong with Stephan's responses to your demands of him? How is he supposed to meet you face-to-face without prior quasi-anonymous contact and arrangement, either through here, email, or the telephonic medium?

Don't worry. I am well aware that there are MANY great people out there - real Queen experts and very honest people with much integrity and respect for others.
I honestly DO NOT judge everyone by the tiny minority of morons i encounter on QZ sometimes.
Most people on QZ are ok and good people - albeit they are a bit touchy and over sensitive (I can talk!!!!), and they don't like taking back what they dish out. Most people are fine, and that's why I have now had over 170 POSITIVE & USEFUL emails about Queen worldwide No 1's, and only NEGATIVE CRAP on this site from a few dull buggers that always whinge with things like... "WHY DON'T QUEEN EVER ASK US THE 'REAL FANS' ADVICE, ON PRODUCTS, SO THAT IT COULD ALL BE BETTER?" "THEY NEVER ASK US... AND WE ARE THE PEOPLE THAT EXPECT WILL BUY THIS PRODUCT."
But when i DO ask them, ask advice to better the Queen Singles box, they whinge at that too and call me lazy. They are complete wasters.
That is the kind of mentality you find too often in the odd QZ pleb.
I offer the chance to chip in ideas and useful data for the BEST POSSIBLE Queen product, and they squander it.
There are great people emailing me. Good on them. Not everyone is a whinging tedious pain in the hind quarters.
