Grade A fantasist. Claimed that the BB winning the 1966 NME poll ahead of the Beatles was down to him sending in multiple entries. Also claimed to have been robbed by Russians while on holiday in France, not to mention having a procedure on his nose then being back in the office in four days. unfortunately for him, I had the same operation, and i was told to stay indoors for ten days as catching any infection would mean I'd have to have it done again. Plus he claimed much more credit than he was due in a joint project with Joe Thomas.

Folk began questioning his claims, so one day he just vanished.

He was also banned at one point for posting a review of GIOMH when only the promo copies circulated. Needless to say, the limeys revolted and we all laughed.

[Rob Dean]

Sorry but I met the guy on a few occasions , even had a meal with a few Blues in Glasgow (before a BW gig there) and he had never heard 'The Fairy Tale' from Holland (so we played it on a CD Player) and whats more called it crap-Sorry what a TWAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rob Dean]

Also he did/does write for the daily free newspaper 'Metro' and did write a number of articles on Brian (big tick in the box) but being a hack i gave him the name Kie Miss-Spelling :-)))))

Typical blueboarder; knows nothing beyond Pet Sounds and Smile as far as Beach Boys work.

WOW

I knew Andrew would come through with something that would show me another Blueboarder being a douche. (ala Bluebird).
That Joe Thomas project: was that the book about Brian's solo work? I have that, it's a great resource. Still available anywhere? They did a couple others on covers and Japanese BB discography, right?

[Andrew G. Doe]

The Joe Thomas book The Beach Boys On CD was basically his own BB CD collection. Without that book, and the others he did, my site would have been so much harder to do. Nice nice guy, but he had some kind of falling out with some other Blooies and just vanished from the BB world. Very sad.

They only collaborated on one book, which turned into Joe doing the vast bulk of the work. I think there was a disagreement over the financing of the project as well.

Bluebird... don't get me started. She's a charlatan, a liar and a thief. Swindled a friend of mine out of $1000 and still owes her $700 two years later. Close and personal friend of Brian & Melinda ? I checked with someone who is, and they laughed so much I thought they were going to have a stroke.

Wait...Joe Thomas as in THE Joe Thomas?

[punkinhead]

not the same one...i asked him back on the Blueboard

[TdHabib]

Is there a way to get the Joe Thomas book on Brian at the present time? I've always wanted to read it.

i specially ordered from Joe Thomas, but i remember being on an Amazon...whether it was on the American or UK, I cant remember

[Andrew G. Doe]

Miskelly's on facebook - ask him. :-)

Think I need to respond to Mr Doe's allegations here. I'm far from being a fantasist, in 1966 I did send off numerous votes for The Beach Boys in the NME's annual end of year poll. They won by around 100 votes, I sent in around 40 so I did my bit. Don't know which surgeon operated on Mr Doe's nose but mine said I could return to work within the week which is what I did. And yes me and my partner Sylvia were gassed by the Russian mafia after stopping overnight at a service station just outside Paris while driving a motorhome to the south of France. As Editor of the Metro newspaper I'm not into making things up. I also produced 17 issues of blueboarders magazine promoting Brian and the boys' music at great expense to myself. I also take issue with your comments about the book Joe Thomas and I co-wrote. I put in 50pc and read through the proofs at least six times to get the book right. We fell out because Mr Thomas wanted me to pay for all the printing while he sold all the books.. very Irish logic. A wee tale I heard about Mr Doe...  he was in conversation once with someone quite close to the Brian camp and who had a huge knowledge of Beach Boys releases... after a while the guy got tired of Mr Doe saying 'yes I've got that one'....  so he started making up various titles of boots.. 'yes I've got that one' answered Mr Doe several times. And for those who think I don't know much about the Beach Boys... one room of my house is devoted to Beach Boys memorabilia... at the last count there were more than 1,200 CDs, 90-plus books, a similar amount of DVDS, dozens of framed front pages of magazines, gold records, a specially signed poster of one of the boys' first concerts signed by Fred Vail... need I go on? There are Beach Boys fans and there are people who think they are Beach Boys fans....

[HiKie]

And I thought this site was filled with intelligent people.. bang goes that  theory...

[hypehat]

Enjoying the delights of your 'newspaper' does not = intelligence, by the by. But that's another thread.

[Jason]

Where's my bag of world's smallest violins?

[HiKie]

And writing crap on a website does make you intelligent I see... DOH!

[Jason]

Whew, we have the FAMOUS HiKie on the board now! Where's my autograph book? I'm collecting blueboarder autographs. You'll look great in between Bluebird and Bobby California.

Look, unless you are seriously going to call the flippin Metro a daily showcase of fine journalism, we haven't much more to discuss. I'm not the one going 'D'OH' on the internet and writing huge posts with v. basic grammar and no command of paragraphs.

[Mikie]

"HiKie". That's awfully close to my handle here. Too close. Hope it's clear that there's absolutely no association between "HiKie" and "Mikie" on this or any other board.....

That IS pretty close; you sure you're not ghosting for hikie, Mikie?

[HiKie]

Ahh Mr Hypehat, glad to see you're one of the 4million people a day who read Metro, Britain's most successful newspaper. I'll try to put in a few more pix, I realise the reading bit is probably a bit difficult for you...
