it was that last pint that Al forced me to neck before i legged it for the tube after the show... must have been a dodgy pint... :P

Foook me...missed my last train home, so ended up going back to the venue...and getting Stone and Boom's signatures instead!!!!

Brilliant brilliant gig. Beats the Astoria, hands down. Felt more like a proper set...ALL ALONG THE WATCHTOWER?! Oh my god!!!

Must go lie down!

Thank you again Al for giving me Mike's pic...I hope some poor sod gave you a poster tube in the end!!!!

hi folks

just read on www.thetruth.org.uk that the Astoria was the best show ever and that clearly the euphoria of a more recent small-ish show is playing with peoples memories..

i say it all the time.. "mmm that was the best burger ever" when technically it wasnt... its just that i've just eaten it and i can remember the flavour better... but it wasnt the best burger ever...

ah wuz only joking... just following on from some of the comments about last night's setlist being disappointing becasue of the lack of rare songs and the number they also played in Calgary... :roll:

anyway, on a MUCH more interesting subject... after my distinct lack of success in getting a ticket from Seatwave, today i received an email saying

Unfortunately the seller of your order can no longer provide tickets for
this sale. As a result and in line with our Ticket Integrity promise we had
to cancel this order and look to source an alternative ticket on your

don't know why it takes up to 10 days to refund the money but at least i shouldn't be out of pocket so will have money for beers in Manchester...!

V V

yay really glad u got ur money back

Right, I have 3 fanmade Shep Bush pin badges left. PM if you would like one. First come first served.

I expect a pint of shandy (coz I'm a lightweight) at manchester or london

Taaaaa

EDIT:::All gone

I booked the Docklands Travelodge! I'll get into London at about half 12, then will probably head to dump the bags in after! V, do you need to do a baggage drop before the show?

you probably know but you cant drop off luggage until after 3pm remember... just in case you were planning to.

ooOOOoooo fancy new "backspace" look going on

umm bugger cos dumping bags wld be great. *goes to check out web site*


"Early Check-in and Late Check-out service available at this hotel.
Please pre-book by selecting each service from the Extras page when booking." oh, wonder if u cld change it to check in early and how much that is?? or maybe you did already!

For security reasons we are unable to offer a left luggage service.

if you've paid the extra £10 to get in from 12 then you're ok... otherwise its 3pm... it'll be on page 16 of my new Travelodge book once i've finished it

aye... but i have a cunning plan.

although the tickets can be picked up from 12pm there is, in my opinion, no point in doing that and then queuing for 6 hours... so i'll be meeting the others in the pub until maybe 4pm.. then going to hotel and checking in... then going to the o2 and getting my tickets and having a laugh... then watching the show.

were you planning on going to the o2 that early? i mean before 3pm?

nah, the kids go back to school on the Wednesday so she's passing on it this time... but she's making me a packed lunch and i'll have clean socks.

i'm getting really excited... i even dreamed of meeting Eddie last night but he called me a.. and i quote.. a 'shitbag' for blocking his way to the toilet... so i went in after him to speak to him and then i woke up or i cant remember... but i was quite annoyed he called me a shitbag... but then it took me 20 minutes to realise it was a dream.

I haven't booked the early time thingy, but I would like to get rid of my bag as soon as I get to London as it is a bit of a monster. I don't mind paying it anyway, had to do the same on Monday.

i'm beginning to think my 'going in to work' plan for Tuesday might change to dropping the bag off and heading down the Market Porter etc etc... though that depends on how my internal organs are feeling after Monday night...
