    Think of it as saving a damsel in distress. I'd also be getting the drinks in.

    The Astroria has been taunting me since last Friday. Have to walk past it tonight (twice) as going to a bar on the Charing Cross Road :(
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?
  • London may be big...... but Tony Soprano saying "Where;s those cunts in the kilts" makes it seem a tad smaller....

    "over 70% of the SAS are Scottish, and that's a fact....coz we're hard bastards"

    Enough said.

    Ah well I'll just have to try and meet you guys for a drink before hand :)

    Will chat to the touts and see what they are charging but am not hopeful. Think there will be loads of us outside wanting to buy tickets.

    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.

    It's going to be the official hotel of PJ in London at this rate....my girl and I are booked in there too.

    Coming across on the train from Cardiff.....this'll be my second PJ show and her first. Was stuck in the seats at the back of Manchester Arena last time so this will be quite different.

    Our tickets showed up about an hour ago.....I can finally relax in the knowledge that its all going to plan now :-)

    I like the Astoria, been there once before for Hundred Reasons. the sound is ace and the stage is high enough that even shortarses like myself can see if they're downstairs.

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Hahah.

    One idea is to pretend we are all in London for the annual 'office cleaning awards'. That is why we all have a broom.

    But...and this is the smart part, when we see the touts the brooms mysteriously get cut in half and we are now 'bo-handled ninjas' seeking to kick some toutarse and rob all their tickets :)

  • shahrilshahril Posts: 288
    yeah u absolutely have to sign. i live in uni accom and usually the uni people will sign off for us then have them delivered. but in this case they called me to come down and sign it.

    'mandatory signature required'
