    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 :)

    Aw, i'm loving this now!!! Aye, well guid luk wi the translatin', get the whisky's in!! I'll be sleverin' pish after a few anyway.

    We could always at least noise up the touts. "here mate, £50 to buy back your clothes" hahaha.

    don't we all speak the same language when we're drunk? :D

    Work hard enough we could make the board read like an Irvine Welsh novel :D

    For the amusement of the Scots (and anyone else who might be interested)

    The Scottish Parliament website as well as being translated into Gaelic is translated into Scots makes for amusing reading!

    In general yes, but...we scots tend to have a rather unique brand of pissed vocal skills. Neil's a pro at this...sllluurrrrr.

    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.

    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 :(

    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.

    I'm off to the Charing Cross Road. Will give the Astoria a wave for you all as I walk past. It doesn't know what it's in for!

    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.

    New York City - 25/6/2008 - we will be "what is up" New York
