Can you not just blag it? Two years ago I straight up went into my bosses office and said "Can i please leave two days early to go to Glastonbury?" He was fine with it. Now admittedly, this was an international school at the end of term. Are you back in work on the Monday? If so, fuck that.

He kicked his leg from right under his leg

JR is a commentator. You can have commentators for years and years, if they are good/legendary. ITV kept Murray Walker when they got Formula One, even though he was 73/4 at the time. And they would've gladly kept him for years if he wanted to carry on- even if he was starting to lose it at the end. In fact, sticking with the F1 example, I am convinced people disliked James Allen doing the F1 commentary because he wasn't Murray Walker. Same way people gave Michael Cole heat for years. Also, think about what commentators people are fond of today. It's the old ones mostly, or the ones who have been there for years. It's also the one's people can name. ITV Football? Clive Tyldsley. Sky Football: Martin Tyler. Cricket: Richie Benaud (and he's been dead for ages!), F1: Murray Walker or Martin Brundle . Golf: Peter Alliss. Darts: Sid Waddell (and he's been dead for years as well) etc etc. People like familiarity in their broadcasters.

Why do you need a VPN? This website and SeeTickets works just fine without it. I'm in China right now and just tested this. I'm posting this without my VPN being on.

The announcing has been atrocious on all levels the last few months. I still like Mauro, and Nigel McGuinness is exceptional. But they don't use the best announcer they've had in years, which is William Regal. I can see why, but still.

Well that show sucked. And I got up to watch it.

You won't get it in because if it's a good Shisha pipe it'll be glass at the bottom. And they don't let glass on the site lest you, or anyone, smashes it over someones head. There are shisha places at the festival though. Edit: Looked at pic. It's glass. Not a chance.

There's a massive difference between filming 10 episodes and actually airing them. Not to mention airing them in a decent timeslot. Also, don't forget. ITV ruins everything.

His last UFC fight anyway. What more can you do with him after this?

I wonder if they will be allowed to celebrate Rusev Day on a Friday in Saudi Arabia?

See what happens on Raw tonight. Lashley is back at some point. I think Brock is under contract a while longer, although I know what everyone says, that he's done after Mania. But that's too obvious. As far as we're aware he's not in the USADA testing pool, so he can't come back and fight immediately anyway. I think they do Brock v Bobby, it's a semi-intriguing fresh matchup (UFC should've tried to book it. Amazed they didn't, especially after the Zuffa sale). When a ten-year old boy shows better facials than your most pushed babyface, you know you're fucked. Reigns has to go away for a while, he's dangerously overexposed and has been for ages and ages, and finally come back and cut a promo on the fans.

Who is staying up for Rusevmania on this most Rusev of all days? Just do the main show Roman- not with the heel turn though because... Sami and Kevin with Shane turning heel Nakamura Asuka NIa Bludgeons Finn Kurt and Ronda Braun RUSEV

25th Anniversary of Hogan getting screwed out of the tag belts at Mania 9...

Can't see a thread on this. Looking to go to two days of Dour Fest. Thursday has BadBadNotGood and The Chemical Brothers, and Friday has Slowdive, Mogwai and Soulwax. Anyone know what the situation is like with transport each night and what not after the event? Can't camp and have to be in Brussels very early Saturday morning to get to Rock Werchter Classic.

What a weird thread.
