    PM received thanks mate, great to get this sorted so quickly!! Dunk has got my mob so it'll be easy to meet on the day, my girlfriend says she'll be able to get out from work earlier than planned so we'll be there easily for 3pm now. We're meeting up with some old friends before the gig so I don't think I'll be able to join you all in the pub, but it makes sense for me to come and find you in there for swapsies :)

    no probs jim... I'll be at pub around 3pm onwards and i'll phone/you phone me to arrange meeting us for swapsies... :cool:
    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 kinda like Slane. Marley Park's a great intimate yet big enough little place. Probably not big enough for PJ though
    Radiohead have Marlay Park sown up. Never been there for a gig, but sound like it'd be better than Slane. I've seen PJ at Slane before and it was great - intense as all hell! - but they didn't play for very long (support slot, 50 mins), and I'd really like to see them play their own show, not just among a group of other bands and fans. though I suppose that's what Astoria's all about!

    Front row's sounding pretty good :) Any further back and I won't be able to see a thing anyway :o

    Marlay Park has a great atmosphere. I've been twice for Bryan Adams :o and Meatloaf :o and I can't believe I admitted to seeing either of them.

    Alright guys,
    Just noticed my name is on the people listed as having a ticket. This is indeed true. My friend and i will be present at the show, not sure if we will make it to this particular pub before hand, but i'll look out for it and maybe drop it. I've never spoken to any of you before but hey why not?!

    Heightwise - nothing wrong with my eyes but I'm 5'4 or 5'5 or something like that. Pretty average but when it comes to concerts I can't seem to see over anyone.

    Okay... I've got a nice story for you... I always listen to my iPod while cycling arround the streets of Amsterdam.. this can get me into some trouble... there's an entry on my blog for the time I tried to play the air drums drunk to sabotage by the beastie boys while cycling... it ended in disaster.

    On...hmmmm Friday night, was coming home from our favourite belgian beer bar. I had behaved cos I had flight to Geneva the next day. This was the day I found out I had tickets... so I was rocking the boot of SECC Glasgow, and cycling like a nutter to rearviewmirror.... eyes closed singing my lungs out.... when I noticed a car emergency stop in front of me... now my bike is an amsterdam special, bought second hand, rusted to fuck and a buckled back wheel from give too many people rides home on the back...

    So I go into full on pedal backwards braking(Its an amsterdam bike), and manage to stop - I was so proud of myself! If it had been chilled PJ i would have been on the back of the car.... then I looked down, my back tire had folded to a 45 degree angle... hilarious... I toss the bike and keep on walking.. grooving along still... the driver is just laughing at me!!!

    Scottish Person drunk on bike story #2

    after a good night out, me and my pal decided we would go Mountain Biking in the Forest near our town... pissed as hell... only problem was we only had one set of lights!! Easily solved by me taking the front light and giving him the rear light... we reasoned to ourselves that it would be like some new fangled tandem contraption.... anyway going along the street and roads were fine, no stoppages and obviously the streetlamps and the moon made it easy for him to see... i was ok seeing as how i had the front headlamp... got into the forest and going down the first big trail at a good speed ... i lost him by going too fast... he couldnt see a feckin thing and after about 2 minutes of me thinking "where the hell is he"... a figure came out of the darkness ... at full pelt.. screaming into the darkness and me waving at him to stop... boom!! straight of the forest track into the nearest tree... slid for about 3 miles on his palms and to this day he still has gravel pieces under his skin...

    In fact Neil's a big lad, if his dodgy back doesn't give him shit then it could be you and I on a shoulder each!!

    Ain't that right Neil? Go on, you know you want to spend the entire concert with us on your shoulders!

    No ticket but not coming on your thread to act as a downer ;)

    I work near the Astoria and was thinking if I got of work a little early I could pop down and say hi to all the fellow PJ fans/10Cers and grab a drink with you (while also checking out what the touts are asking). What time do you think you guys will be leaving the George to start queuing? And are the ticketless welcome?

    I could come in useful as I'm English but spent my teenage years in Scotland so could be an official translator :D

    i've not really thought about the queuing time yet.. and the ticketless are of course welcome unless they happen to be expert pick-pocketers ;)

    well if me, Neil and Fraser get a drink in us... we'll hardly be able to understand oursleves :D... but your welcome to try

    cant we just all gang up on the touts and batter the fuck out of them and hand out free tickets to folk... think about it!!! 30 of us.. one or two of them... easy picking!! is touting ilegal? if it is we'd be doing the band a valuable service :)

    sounds like a good plan...
    front row is reserved for the girls from the meet-up and, err, me - you know, it never hurts to have a guy around, just in case ;)
    (nah, i'm not the tallest person either but don't ask me, i've never figured out feet, inches, miles, pounds, etc... and i used to live in london for a while)

    then behind us the scots to prevent everyone from being crushed... i'm sure you have some superb battlefield techniques down from watching braveheart...
    and after reading your last post, fraser, i can actually picture neil in war paint with a double-handed sword...
    :D

    It would be great if you guys could.

    I'll take first dibs on one of those tickets :D

    I'm only five two so don't think I'll be much help in actually getting the tickets.

    Forgot to say this is my speciality. Family owned a pub in Scotland so have listened and learned to decipher the ramblings of many drunk Scots :D
