    Cool, in more my desperate moments I was thinking of cutting myself to pieces and asking each of you to smuggle part of me in... handbags would have come in very handy!! ;)

    Why not adopt my idea...which I won't be forced to perform now. Cover yourself in wet shit outside the venue and then rush the bouncers???

    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.

    Nah... not yet I'm afraid... the soap opera is still running......!! waiting to hear from two gumtree contacts, ebay is just crazy, I'd pay for two tickets if I thought someone was willing to pay as much but don't wanna pay for two and then subsidise someone else... :(

    Laugh all you want but it's really not funny. Some people do ACTUALLY want to go and some are prepared to pay that amount of money. It sickens me that people will do this (sell them for that price I mean) :(

    I just read this thing on the meanfiddler site re: touts on online auctions - they say they are doing what they can but basically it is not illegal to do so. It would seem they are trying to work with ebay, etc. to stop this kind of thing.

    Hi Dave. Firstly I'm female.

    Reading this thread has sent my heart racing. Thanks for being such a star trying to sort this out :D

    Am on Easter weekend holidays so won't be checking in too often but let me know if you want me to PM my number so you can keep in touch.

    Will probably try on get on internet once tomorrow but horrible dial-up connection where I am.

    To everyone else congrats on such a monster thread :D am glad I decided to wade through the last few pages. See you all in the George whatever happens :)
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    How far is this place from the Astoria - just booked a room as so many others seem to be staying there! Will be checking in around 3.30pm if anyone else is planning on heading to the George from there!

    Also, any Newcastle Pearl Jam fans heading down on the Thursday morning National Express bus?

    I'm sure its about a mile or so... 15-20 mins walk... 30-40 mins stagger :)

    hopefully i'll be checked in by then and at the pub but i'm sure there are loads on this thread checking in and around that time.
