Can't see it being anything inbetween. It will be great I reckon. I was shocked at how good it was when I went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could definitely see me checking this out. The music they played at the Hacienda had nothing to do with Manchester really. Yes they played 808 state, A guy called Gerald, K Klass etc but most of the stuff they will be covering will be from Detroit, Chicago and Italy. Now the only reason I went was because I got the ticket for free. I was dead against it as I saw it as a blatant cash grab from Hooky. Yet it was fantastic. I would not pay to go to an individual gig but would see it at a festival. The tunes are timeless classics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Do the punters bring guns and shoot people like they did in the Hacienda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 No, but they did express their enthusiasm for the event by informing one another that they were "mad for it" whilst doing finger guns in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, proton torpedo is correct. Photon torpedoes, quantum torpedoes and other such nonsense are from a completely different universe. WO! So I was right by accident? Literally always thought it was photon torpedoes, where are they from then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mardy Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Anyway, been pondering it today. People i've taken against without any real reason. Dunno why, but they give me the right hump. 1) FJM 2) Tim Minchin 3) Ross Noble 4) the fella that does Grand Designs 5) Chas, from Chas and Dave (but, curiously, not Dave) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Red Telephone Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 I don't mind the Grand Designs guy - I like the fact he does that "up and down eye judgement movement" when he's talking to the poor sods who have only 750k to spunk on their half-baked vanity project. Ross Noble on the other hand... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andeeroo Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Saw Ross Noble on Saturday night. Great stuff.
