    Honey might topple Cocoa Sugar as my AotY yet, it's brilliant.

    Don't like it when bands go announcing a second night after first one sells out tho, fuck that game. It's not hit me this time because I got no money so couldn't really consider buying a ticket for that Friday at Alexandra Palace when they went on sale. But if I did have money I'd have definitely tried to buy one, and potentially been stuck with a Friday ticket which would require a day off work, and then Saturday comes out afterward and I'd have been cross. Although equally I could've decided to do the Saturday in Berlin, and I couldn't really get cross about going to Berlin.

    They all do it though, annoyingly.

    I’m in the same boat moneywise, but I’ll definitely be looking on twickets for a ticket nearer the time. 

    I think it’s my AOTY, I’m not quite ready to commit to that fully but I can’t see anything beating it.

    No, nor me, not a clue, other than - remember Olympics 2012? So bad. He then made a pact with the devil for a few more years of good touring, and these satanic pacts always run in 7-year cycles, so it runs out in late June 2019 just before the fest... this is why he was desperate to play the Saturday just in case it lasted, but when The Cure insisted on Saturday that did it

    Yep this is it of course. ?

    When I say "conflicting schedules", I meant him potentially getting offered more shows in the US around the time and getting better money from it - creating conflict with the existing schedule - so you are thinking along the same hypothetical lines as I am. 

    Yeah if he adds dates then we know you’re right and if he cancels dates then we know Billum and I are right.

    Caveat: I don’t really think I’m right, I haven’t got a clue.

    If it was health related it could be because he was booked in for an operation - but I can't see Paul McCartney exactly at the end of a waiting list.

    Yeah, he’s getting nodules removed from his vocal chords ???.

    Fair point though, I just couldn’t think what else it could be. I’m not sure I buy into Dentals comment about conflicting schedules, it’s not like Glastonbury has moved dates is it?

     If he doesn’t end up playing, I guess we’ll never know what happened, unless he cancels any other shows (or adds a load more around then).

    Although if this is due to Macca's voice going to pot (admittedly I'm the only one who's suggested it's that, but what else would make him pull out of a gig nearly 8 months in advance?) then it could be his last tour, so no 2020 for Pauly

    I also said that about his voice. Granted he’s got 8 (?) US shows in May and June next year but presumably they’ve been in the diary for a while and maybe his voice is only troubling him now.

    Which one?

    Honey, sorry. A few people on here were a bit unsure of it on first listen but I’ve given it a few listens and it’s really grabbed me now. Track wise - Missing u is great and the  title track Honey is an absolute banger.

    I don’t even hate beach 2k20. It’s got a lovely little melody in it but it just feels like she hasn’t actually written a full song.

    Why is the tweet given any credibility ....seems like anyone could say I heard this or that . 

    I don’t think it is being given much credibility, but its worth discussing at least, just in case. 

    The tweeter is in a band though (called Saltwater Sun, I’ve never heard of them) so I doubt she’s completely made it up. Someone’s obviously told her something - whether it’s true or not only time will tell.

    Robyn seems like a good shout for headlining. Wasn’t sure of her size but the Ally Pally gigs suggest she’s a big enough deal.

    This would be bloody great. I love her album.

    The wheels have well and truly come off for my Dec 2nd Valencia marathon effort. Developed a bit of a pain in my  left hip area last Friday which was still there after an easy 6 miles on Sat. Got up to 12 miles on my 22 mile Sunday run and had to walk 5 miles back to the car...been feeling pain in that area ever since. I think its bursitis which I've never had before; I've had most of 'em! The marathon was going to be a compromised effort anyway due to an early calf injury but I'll be doing well to even start now. Been here before though; shit happens.

    I feel for you. Injury’s suck. I’m 10 weeks in to mine.

    I know you’ve got a leaderboard to climb but I’m out of upvotes I’m afraid. Would have been an easy one from me otherwise.

    Have genuinely tried multiple pics. Gone onto my profile, clicked the little media image to change "profile picture".

    Nah. Not allowed. Banned for history of crimes against technology.

    Is the problem that the picture file size is too big? If so, you can email it to yourself and resize it (when you press send it should ask you what size you want to send it).

    It was 2014

    Hmm I don’t think I saw him that year. It looks like he played most years until 2016 but then not in 2017. Fingers crossed for next year then.

    Photo taken with @Keithy we were proper dressed up. Keithy can save his fucking stories about how mashed I was for the other thread. It was my first Glasto and I stupidly booked a Thursday coach ticket. Got all excited and smashed within hours. We've all done it right?

    Oh love it. I really want to see him dressed as him now. It’s the only way. What year would this have been?

    Himself and the gorgeous & funny Lounge Kittens weren't there last time. I have messaged the Lounge babes asking if they will be there next year but got a rather vague not sure answer. I just love both. Pic taken while having a major whitey on the first night of my first glastonbury. 

    Mr b.jpg

    Oh my GRRRRRR I’m out of upvotes again. I swear I must use them all up in the first hour of the day. BUT LOVE this pic!!! Tell me you posted it and tagged Mr B somewhere so he could see it!?

    Hmmmm that’s a fancy dress idea that I could totally get on board with. Hope he is there next year.
