Why bother? He's just said he's closing the thing down! Because Ison isn't putting in the effort of something.

(I don't really believe this either)

Oooohh - I d wasn't expecting that bitchy comment from you Mr Hicks - anyone would think you were jealous!

And, er, please show me evidence of me 'priding myself' of these headline VAMPS (please learn to use the proper names Asa) on this forum.

The site Identz, is aptly called that because I am interested in the way TV presentation works and how it has evolved over the decades. Identz is not about sound files, and I do not boast about having them.

And I actually have a life Asa - whatever your're trying to imply it wont work!

Eh? I wasn't implying anything about your life. I'm sure you lead a full and active one. I was merely stating you're being hypocritical about telling someone to 'Get a life' on this sort of forum - you've been doing that on and off since you arrived.

You do not boast but are quite willing to say you have these VAMPS (bows down to your superior knowledge on the subject even though you're not really bothered about the sounds) but won't make them available yet on your site? Saving them for a rainy day?

So apart from the fact the Soundz are the most popular part of your site, you're interested in how tv pres has evolved...hence including a lot of archive material in there then in the future?

Cheers, Asa



I haven'd said what Identz has planned - its just you lot are speculating.

When I have time, we will update the site - I know that Mr Ison has a few treats up his sleeve. I, however will be taking a bit of a backseat in the site, with gathering media for the site. I'm sure James Ison is quite capable of updating the site after its re-design this weekend.

Jamez should rename identz to Soundz.

And then rename the domain identz.co.uk to soundz.co.uk

Max




And what would I do with the collection of television idents I have on video? Identz will stay for at least another 2 years when the domain expires!

Well I really like Identz, and the hard work that both Jamez and James has put into it is well worth it!

This whole forum is becoming extremely childish with everyone sniping at everyone else, not just specific threads. I'm disappearing from it very soon unless people grow up and act like the adults they claim to be.

Jamez, can you please explain to the whole forum community why you feel it necessary to slag people off at every turn? That is not what this forum is about. I believe we've had this conversation before haven't we? Too many times for peoples liking.

As for your whipping of the 'Great God Asa', you are the one who is incorrect regarding vamps. Depending which camp you come from, they can be called vamps OR beds, in the same way as DOGs are Bugs, CSO is ChromaKey etc.

I would be interested in hearing where you've got all your material from (vamps, beds or whatever you wish to call them). If they are off-air recordings, then poor you. If you'd had the common courtesy to be polite to folk you may have got the genuine article. But heay ho - you make your bed (no pun intended! ha ha) and sleep in it!

Keep taking the pills Jamez and get out of your pram for all our sakes

While I'm here Jamez, I've just been to your site and downloaded one of your clips - OK, so it's the genuine thing, but where's the new stuff? Has your supplier dried up? Oh yeah - he works at ITN now doesn't he!

Also - 'BBC World Special Themes (Orbit)'. As far as I know, Orbit TV ceased it's connection with the BBC when BBC Arabic stopped broadcasting way back in the mid 1990's, and has never had ties with BBC World, so it must be 'special'

What is Orbit anyway? I've never understood why Jamez has called them 'Orbits'!

Orbit was (don't know if they're still in business) a satellite station a bit like Sky, based in Rome & owned by a Saudi Prince. BBC Arabic provided a news service for it, which predominantely was viewed in Saudi. The thing about it though was very few people in Saudi could view it as satellite dishes are/were strictly controlled and only a select few could own one

Thanks Techy Peep, but why are they called 'Orbits' on Identz? Were these themes used on this channel or something?

'Orbits' AFAIK is the name of the set of special themes used by the BBC.

The CD/Album is called Orbit so I believe. CMIIW

The music Jamez has on his site labelled 'Orbit' never appeared on Arabic. I suspect it's a tiplyng error, but throughout his site & threads it keeps coming up!
