Users Feedback 1 year, 1 month ago Sweet little doggie!! But back to the matter at hand…one thing I’ve noticed recently is that agencies with an FB page (as EntsWeb does) like to plug the artists/bands on their books. Sometimes it’s a random plug, other times it’s for a specific reason, like the artist(s) having received a glowing review or played to a sell-out crowd etc. Perhaps EntsWeb could do the same if it isn’t already? It would be good advertising for the website and I’m sure the artists would be grateful for the exposure, instead of just sitting on the site waiting to be noticed…
Yes it’s a good idea. I’m just a bit worried about making the page too commercial which is a real no no for social media. It’s why I’ve set up the second EntsWeb FB page at https://www.facebook.com/EntsWeb2 so that entertainers and musicians can place ads for themselves. Perhaps a featured act once a week wouldn’t hurt. I’ll pose the question and see what people say.
Thanks for your reply – I went to your EntsWed2 page earlier and posted an ad for ULTIMA’s new FB page, but was quite surprised to see how few other artists had taken advantage of this nice opportunity to promote themselves that you’ve provided. Maybe not enough people know about the page? It seemed like the same people were posting over and over… Anyway, a weekly featured act sounds like an excellent idea, I hope others will also be in favour of it.
I’ve put up a Poll with different options so we will see what happens. I doubt many people will bother voting but it migt give an idea.
I’ve put this post on Facebook about ”Sweet little doggie” Merlot but I’ll reproduce it here:
@elainor commented about Merlot, “Sweet little doggie!!” but this morning, along with her half-sister Ruffles and Millie (the fat cat), she disgraced herself.
It started out as a peaceful Good Friday morning until a Jackdaw, that had decided to nest in our chimney, lost its footing and came plummeting down the flue to suddenly appear in the fireplace in an explosion of soot and feathers.
It was a shock for me but more of a shock for the bird when it realised, after struggling to stand up and shake the soot from its feathers, it was being eyed up by two Fell Terriers.
The Jackdaw then leapt across the hearth and launched into flight knocking down ornaments, plants, photos and anything else that dared to get in its way. Of course all this commotion was found to be very exciting by Merlot and Ruffles who both decided it was obviously a fantastic game they should be part of. Consequently they too started to charge around the room in demolition derby mode, ricocheting from table to chair and snapping at the air whenever they came close to the poor bewildered Jackdaw.
By this point I was also rushing around the room shouting at Merlot and Ruffles and not knowing whether to catch the dogs or the bird first. Eventually the winged destroyer came to rest in the window, pushing two more figurines to the floor as it did so. Ah! I though, I’ll just open the window and it will fly out.
With the dogs still in full dance I slowly reached to open the window only to realise the windows at the front of the house do not open other that the small quarter light at the top. The bird was not impressed.
Then my plan formulated itself, get the dogs into the kitchen then catch the Jackdaw and release it, from the backdoor, into the garden.
Step one was surprisingly easy and I quickly managed to get the dogs moved out of the way and into the kitchen. I then opened the door to where the bird was. I’m glad my reflexes are reasonably quick because I then had to duck as a sooty comet streaked past my head and did a lap of the kitchen before flying into the utility room where it startled Millie the fat cat who was asleep on top of the boiler. She also thought, “this is fantastic game I should be part of” and started leaping at the unfortunate bird. This of course brought the two dogs hurtling from the kitchen into the utility room and they, once again, started their antics.
By this time the Jackdaw had decided it was a good idea start leaving its calling card in the form of expertly aimed jets of guano. Millie then leapt at the bird again and landed with her claws into a coat on the coat rail and in doing so knocked down a straw hat which landed upside down in her bowl of drinking water. A carved wooden fish also dived from the window sill, into her biscuit bowl, as the bird squeezed behind it.
Eventually, I managed to get the cat and dogs under control. I then threw a towel over the Jackdaw, picked it up and released it into the back garden. It flew off, did a circle of the garden then landed back on top of the chimney it had just fallen down …
