sadly, my poor joke was deliberate

I'll pitch em up... you knock em out of the park

I did wonder if this thread was going to be some form of confessional... Glad it isnt. I for one, have had several excellent nights seeing Faithless.. sometimes in a field and also, particularly enjoyably, in Brixton Academy. I find that you need to drink a fair amount and commit fully to the occasion to get full enjoyment. A bit like the pantomime...

No easy answer to that one @Yoghurt on a Stick.... all you can do is be what it already sounds like you are, a caring son that is there for his Mum.. Im not sure sure that the D word needs either hiding from or fronting up.. She likely knows. My Mum came down from Scotland to tour around the family because she realised what was happening and she wanted to see everyone on her terms... It was an emotional time, that makes me emotional now.. (decades later) We are all Big Girls Blouses at heart.. Take care.

I am no expert, but the King of Covid could lick your face all evening at Sisters of Mercy and it wouldnt show up next day.... If the self same KoC licks your chops on the 7th however....

Wow.! See customer services have stepped up a notch...

If i understand the OP @Jack The Stripper... you have a couple of options** : - your friend could use her festival ticket, turn up with the masses (from wednesday onwards) and go into general camping... - She could travel with you (as i assume you have a CV?) and arrive Tuesday (DO THIS... it is SO worth it..).. Then either : - Pitch her tent next to your CV and stay with you for the duration of the festival - Get in the queue on the Hill of Death Tuesday night (or basically join it at 6am) and get in early on Wednesday am as they open gates ** somebody will let me know if i am talking rubbish

Sleeper and Bluetones at Kentish Town forum last night... An excellent intro back.. Both bands looked tremendously happy to be in front of live audiences again and it was a proper good singalong. We are long term Bluetones fans, so happy that it was their night to headline.. Although i did point out to my joyously singing and dancing daughter that she was 5 when they released 'Expecting To Fly', the debut album that they are playing back to fron as a 25th anniversary on this tour.... We did take the opportunity of getting an early afternoon train into London and watched the footie with a bite to eat and far too many beers in a pub over the road beforehand... so probably starting on the sauce well too early for me.. I did wish this morning that i would have paid more attention to the 'Hangover' thread this week... 🥴 For those of you still looking forward to those 'First Gigs back'... Enjoy, it feels like a real move towards normality.

I enjoyed Lizzo on West Holts too...a quite lovely review.

I have been very much enjoying Unforgotten off of Britbox... worth a watch. Brittania III back this week... 😁 The excellent Eleanor Worthington Cox and Nikolaj Lie Kaas will hopefully continue with one of my favourite double acts..

Hope this isnt too much of a setback.. wishing you a speedy recovery

cheers @gigpusher

Im off to see them next weekend... very much looking forward to it.. What time did they start.? (Need to know what time i need to be out of the pub)

Have a fantastic time everybody.!

"What do you make of this contract offer from The Eavii Elton.."? "Its a little bit funny.." i'll get my coat 👀

😷 Loved the Super Sanitiser Suit btw.... (although you have got to practice your smile or you will scare the little ones...)

I imagine they got up and walked out by themselves.....

i cannot for the life of me understand why some people buy tickets for these shows... annoys the crap out of me.

I imagine he was going to shout to the top...
