twas mentioned in the great gigs thread as well


On the one hand, compared to Madge and Babs recent gigs, it's not THAT bad (out of my league tho) but whether you are up for it or not is kinda moot, considering the likely demand


Plus, bottom line is I agree with Keef on this one - I'm no big fan of them (heresy tho that seems to most of my friends)

Yep, name goes into a ballot, whcih I have done. So lots of staying in to save up if I should be lucky!

As, see I'm bonkers about them, which is nobody's fault but mine.....

OK< bad form to talk to yourself online, but turns out that I, along with Circa 25,000,000 other people have put their names into the ballot...


Ho Hum,.....

I know, I can hear them....all the time, when I'm alone, by myself.....

Ballot was OK, it's the spending money I object too......


Yep, saw the purpley one, and really enjoyed it, which came as a huge suprise to me as I've never ever liked his stuff, but was there being the dutiful husband part. Like she cared if I was there..... ;-)

Personally I think you must be nuts to go and see a band well past it's sell by date. Their heyday is well gone. They will never be able to recreate a stage performance that merits the ticket price. Better to preserve the memory rather than replace it with an enduring image of a bunch of OAP's embarrassing themselves in a final bid to raise funds to soften the impact of IHT! And yes I am a Led Zep fan and once bumped into Robert in a launderette in Primrose Hill, but that's another story!
I think you may have a point there Captain. There's money to be made in nostalgia. There seems to be a lot of bands reforming just to top up their bank accounts. But having said that, I'd love to see the Pistols again but it's hardly likely they'll be playing down the 100 Club or the Roxy. At least Zepplin are doing their gig for charity. I wouldn't have thought they'd need the money.

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
