    Nope went without it ... and they didn't check id! .. and I wasn't on the list ... (I think because I replied saying yes I would like to go but didn't have id) ... but they let me in anyway ;)
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    Nope... working. Less than 4 hours sleep and up late tonight again! The cake is for work - a guy is retiring and and his hobby is steam trains. My manager asked me if I could make a novelty cake for him. And I said OK :roll: :roll:

    G's birthday in 2 1/2 months though. She wants a three-tier topsy-turvy cake (a joint sweet sixteen with two other mates). That will keep me busy!

    The venue is splendid!

    Axl is such a knobjockey!

    Busy day in work today, I had to eat lunch at my desk and I hate having to do that, so I figured I'd come on here and express my disgruntlement!
    This is me:

    are ye eating mccain micro chips whilst working over some micro chips... cos that would be both ironic and a shit joke.
    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.

    I pretty much always eat lunch at my desk :(

    Axl is a prat. Protests at Reading and Leeds cause they pull the plug at curfew ... do they get to protest at having to stand around for hours waiting for you to grace them with his presence?? (High fives to those in Dublin that showed their disgruntlement through the medium of bottles :lol: ) Idiot :twisted: ... a festival that big is really going to risk losing their licence for him :roll:

    Al enjoy your gig in November ... I kinda wish I was going to the full gig tonight. Have fun Rita :mrgreen:

    A friend was there. He was not impressed - regardless of all usual Axl antics.

    Pip... I'm wondering if I will have a spare. Bought two tickets just in case as I am having conflicting info as to whether a companion for disabled is allowed in free or not. The problem is that I will only know around 6.45-7.00. Probably much too late for you.
  • chimechime Posts: 7,839
    Don't think I can handle two late school nights. Not as young as I used to be :oops: :lol:

    Babs was saying she is too tired to go and doesn't have a ticket but will mention that you may end up with a spare to her and she may suddenly wake up!

    Yep ... when I told her about it she said she'd be contacting you and maybe Mr Plant was what she needed :lol:

    Back from the gig and Mr. Plant (and Band of Joy) were fantastic. Good to see RP in such good form. Lots of smiling - seemed to be enjoying it all.

    Eventually met up with Babs inside but I had gone in with an early entry, so not able to hand her my ticket. But she managed to find one!

    Mega steam engine train made for work has safely been delivered. It's now not my problem if it disintegrates - can always say the room they put it in was too hot!
  • chimechime Posts: 7,839
    When is the big unveiling? ... how long does it have to survive?

    Morning all!

    Glad you enjoyed last night red :mrgreen:

    Until 12.00... 2 and a bit hours :? I haven't put the train on the main bit of cake yet, so less risk of collapse! :mrgreen:

    Yesterday was just amazing, Pippa. He's a legend and the band were pretty damn good musicians/singers as well. I look forward to the new album. Next gig - Nick Cave/Grinderman in October (unless Soundgarden and Slash slip in some dates before!)

    Hi Sian!

  • chimechime Posts: 7,839
    Yeah I'm looking forward to this one too. I had problems with the Alison Krauss stuff... you know sometimes for no reason someones voice is just not your thing?? Much prefer Patty Griffin ... and the rest of the band don't do too badly on vocals either :mrgreen:

    I liked Alison Krauss but I do prefer Patty Griffin's voice. It's so much more versatile than Alison's. It can go from country to blues to rock. A lot less 'nasal' too.

    Sian... I'll take pics once set up. It's only a lil' steam engine set on a sheet cake with grass, bushes, tracks and a few odds and sods.

    Stupid question, but are you 'clicked' on the layer you want to work on (is it highlighted)? Also ensure it's visible.

    Glad you're sorted V!

    Well... the cake held and went down a treat. GREAT 'exposure' for me as big boss was there and commended my patience and taking MY time to make a cake for the company. Brownie points!!! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:
  • eMMIeMMI Posts: 6,262
    Glad to hear about the cake Rita. :D




    I would like to say that I love Alison Krauss, I think her voice is absolutely stunning. Not just on Raising Sand but her solo stuff as well. :mrgreen: Having said that, I'm looking forward to hearing this Patti person, one way or another.

    Oh Robert Plant.. *sighs* If only I didn't have a boyfriend. :oops: ;):lol:

    Speaking of which, he's coming over tonight so must not let him see this post. :P
