    OK - I won't ask you to smuggle in my camera. I don't want to be the cause of deeper mental problems!

    Ok, big deep breath.

    Sorry guys, i would like to day ive been busy but....well it's certain type of busy ;-)

    All i can say is wow, this is gonna be a riot! We have people from Iceland now. Awesome.

    No worries for cameras, Neil and I will have that sussed....unless we get some "interested" female security guard that is willing to search a bit higher!

    Good idea for the blog neil, i'm still gonna kill you though!! For the record, i didn't post that pic nor did i post the message....i have however no argument against the indian boy reference....I can be called Mowgli or Fraser, whichever you choose haha.

    I've lost my 12 year old red/white/blue wristband so might try and get a new one, it was rank anayway.

    Hello all, thought I'd throw my hat into the ring. I got tickets and its my first fucking show!!!!!!!! Been trying to get to see this band for the last 15 years, but for one reason or another never succeeded, and I don't feel guilty in the slightest.

    Me and the missus are travelling down on the Megabus ! :D for a tenner each return from birmingham. We decided to pay a little bit extra for a hotel and treated ourselves to http://www.stgiles.com/londonhotel/london_hotel_rooms.html its not the Savoy but it's in spitting distance of the Astoria, which by the way looks like a cosy little place for a first PJ gig.

    WWS will be the opener mark my words.

    Good call. I'm going to stay there as well with my girlfriend. 19th and 20th.

    I'm Mark, 30, from Aberdeen, been to 4 PJ shows, will be wearing a beanie no doubt, but not a kilt.

    My latest dilemma I want to share with you;
    Do I make a collection of PJ favourites to hear on the flight over, or do I make a traditional UK collection (Blur, Beatles, Oasis, Suede, Radiohead etc.) ??
    hmmmm….

    He isn't? Just kiddin'… that's just some of my favourite British music that puts me in the mood for the streets of London… (As opposed to Seattle). I don't tend to reduce people down to averages, specially after getting to know so many individuals on this forum! :)

    10c just told me that the reserved area is in the balcony, meaning we won't get down the front.

    Can't decide whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

    No digital cameras either, disposable only.

    I've just got my tickets through from Ticketmaster and they're "downstairs standing", I was hoping to get balcony tickets as my girlfriend's short and not going to enjoy it down below. If anyone has balcony tickets and would rather be downstairs, I'll be more than happy to meet up and swap on the day :)

    Tickets to PJ - always a good thing :)

    Take dunky's ticket - there were a few others saying they'd like to be downstairs. I think wolfamongwolves has an upstairs ticket he'd want to swap too.

    Excellent that sounds good, is that a 10c ticket or normal? I obviously need to get 2 of the same as to not have to sit in different areas!

    yep... its a normal upstairs ticket... and Wolf has an upstairs ticket and he'll swap... it means you can be together as its General Access Upstairs tickets.. no pre-designated seats or anything... we're all meeting at the George pub on the afternoon of the gig... if you want to i'll swap you there (and presumably Wolf will as well) :)

    Oh ok that sounds good then, could you post in the thread I've made and hopefully wolf will see it as well. I was thinking it would be easier if I found someone with 2 x balcony but it seems you guys are all good mates so it should be just as easy :)

    Jesus, we'd complain about anything here. Of COURSE it's not too bad - it'll do like. Ya can get some pretty decent disposable cameras. Besides I still haven't figured out how to use my digicam and if I brought it i'd only lose it :o

    oh definitely... i'm actually more than happy with a disposable camera.. for the same reasons as you. i'd lose the digital if i had it... thats for sure :(

    i once bought a disposable that only did black and white photos... it was pretty cool and the lights didnt affect the quality of the image to much... plus we can all scan them in and share them around can't we :cool:

    Lol yes of course we can :rolleyes: . That's why there are so many pictures of me floating around - cos it's absolutely no problem for me to scan in stuff :rolleyes:

    Black and white sounds pretty good - maybe I'll bring two, BW and colour but that means I'd have to bring a bag and I'll lose that too :rolleyes:

    are you on a Sponsored Take the Piss out of Dunk day or something :)

    i'm bringing 2 as well now... just in case only half of them are good pics on each camera, then i'll have a good complete set.

    i'm talking jibberish today as its only 2 weeks 1 day to go :eek:

    tomorrow it;ll be 2 weeks and the day after it'll be 1 week 6 days and the day after........... you get the point :D

    I know exactly what you mean :)

    I say things like that too and it drives people mad! I also do it afterwards, like "it was only yesterday... it was only 3 days ago.... 6 days ago it was only 4 hours until" etc etc etc ;)
