:twisted: She's got a decent voice, and does some good songs, but I do find it puzzling why there is that much hype about her.

Saying that, I bought her live album/DVD from RAH, and for me to buy the work of an artist that's come out in the last 10 years is a bigger (and far rarer) honor than a Grammy :lol:

[Paul Richardson]

Adele is a fantastic singer songwriter, potentially legendary providing she can finish what she's started, but comes across as a chav in interviews !

[Cherry.Loaf]

Adele is Classy and beautiful till she speaks in her Chavvy London accent and swears every other word; still love her 'happier' songs though

Amen to that Flying Mouse. I do not even listen to the radio anymore because the music that is played is horrible. Not all of it of course but you have to listen to several bad songs to get 1 good one. When I listen to anything that isn't my cd's it is Pandora.

I am a big country music fan and the stuff they play on the country radio stations, I am not sure how that is even considered country.

I also like artists and songs that have meaning behind them. The words come first and the music comes second. I think that is why I can't stand the music that is out now because there is no substance to it!

Going on my own is something that didn't really bother me all that much although it is always nicer to go with someone. I was originally going to the concert I went to in 2010 on my own but I got talking to Netty (from this site) and we decided to go together.

I know that I won't be able to see Meat in concert that close to home again but there we go, these things happen. :|

I can't remember if Bristol was before or after but I tried really hard to get a ticket to that as it was about 20 minutes on the bus from my house so it wouldn't have been a big deal going on my own but as I was still at Sixth Form I didn't have the funds :(

How much is it?

Saudi it's like 3p a litre.

[suzieq]

I paid $3.69 a gallon yesterday. Not cheap to us, we are hyperdependent on petrol. We do not have great public transport means as an option in most of the country. Long distances to and from work (cannot walk or ride a bike), spending $60 a week on gas. It all adds up. Groceries are going up again here. No increase in wages to cover the costs of living.

Don't even start me on fuel costs, we were just saying this weekend that fuel is probably our biggest expense, second only to our mortgage (And Ticketmaster!) :lol:

[samurai7]

Re: the fuel prices. At the moment I'm paying close to £1.40 for a LITRE of diesel here in the UK. This works out at roughly £6.35 a gallon. In US terms that's 10 bucks, folks. Per gallon. So yeah, I'm with Jonty, you guys have cheap fuel! I spend over £100 a week at the fuel pumps. Public transport is not an option in my line of work either. It doesn't help when we in the UK know that over two thirds of that is tax, even though we also have to pay a road tax duty as well, which is dependent on the type/size/emissions of your car. Something has gotta give!

[Hypnobabe]

Although The Green Mile comes a very close second...

[LucyK!]

Don't think I could choose between The Green Mile and Shawshank - Shawshank is brilliant and has Morgan Freeman, but Green Mile has John Coffey! I think it might be The Green Mile...

[Hypnobabe]

I have real trouble choosing between the two, and love both in part because the adaptations are so faithful to the original novels. There's very little left out or changed, no pointless action sequences or love interests introduced, and brilliant actors chosen - Tim Robbins is fantastic as Andy Dufresne, and Tom Hanks deserved an Oscar, in my opinion...

[LucyK!]

I think Green Mile just edges it for me, the book was amazing too. Oddly, I think I prefer Shawshank the film over the book as it was just a short story - a brilliant short story but having seen the film first I felt the book had lots missing.

watched the ch5 documentary about the lady who was attacked by a friends pet chimp, and lost her face and hands in the attack, a couple of years back

and my god, shes an amazing person... such strength, and will to live, and the same for for her family


i wasnt just humbled by her story, strength and conviction

i was embarrassed by what i consider to be problems to deal with.

there are many truly amazing people in the world, with hardships i can't even begin to imagine... and she is right up there with the best of them in my opinion.

I'm so glad to hear that you've found college to be such a positive thing. :D

I'd like to go and do something more worthwhile with my life one day but I think it's a case of finding a subject you enjoy and are also good enough to be able to make a success of it.

:D Yup, and I was in a very similar boat as you....so things can change and dreams can come true :) Took me switching programs twice to finally figure out I didn't belong in a University, but a two year College program, and that was good enough for me. I had people telling me that I was limiting myself - now I work at home and they have go to an office for 8 hours/day. So its about listening to your inner voice and learning about what you love, and then finding programs and tools that help you hone those skills

Yeah definitely, its about finding something you enjoy. Money will flow from there, and i wish you all the best of luck. I mean, You are very talented and a hard worker, just seeing all the sites you moderate and have designed/built, and you know that's special - most people would rather play XBox than spend time building an online community :-)

Daytime TV is terrible, there never seems to be anything on that hasn't been repeated a hundred times or that isn't a dreadful talk show.

I bet my ML tickets that that's true! I've suffered a lot with bowel problems and some junk food kills me. I don't eat a lot of "junk food" but you know sometimes when you just fancy something (usually the morning after a King-family party!) if we go to McDonalds I can't entertain having a burger, and if I do I know I'll suffer. The chicken I can just about get away with but the burgers hate me!

That's really as bad as my junk food gets though...guess it depends what you call junk food!

[melon]

I don't mind the odd fast food meal, I don't eat it exessively, but I don't mind it, so big sad face :(

But I'm not suprised if it's the fast food.... so greasy and fatty.

Just got back from a couple of days in St Ives with Mrs. Chairboys. What a lovely part of the country. Visited St. Michael's Mount, Minack Theatre ( truly amazing ), Land's End (+ cliff-top walk) and a Tin Mine!
And there is the Sloop Inn down by the harbour in St. Ives which has no less than 8 cyders on tap. It is heaven on earth. I supped the week's guest cyder, Fanny's Bramble.
Tickets for the Birmingham show have arrived.
Barnsley are out of the relegation zone.

[Adje]

Pffff, my wife lost her job today. I've been unemployed since September and with all our savings going into last September's wedding and honeymoon we are now officially broke :roll:

I just did some calculations and apparently, after paying our monthly bills, we now have little under 40,- to spend each week on food and everything else. In reality that means that we can't afford anything at the moment (including something fancy as a concert).

We already agreed to sell the German concert tickets and I already sold my Dutch concert ticket. But, as long as I can, I'm gonna hold on to the London ticket.

My wife said that, if there is a possibility, I should at least attend one of the farewell concerts. And London has always been on my 'wish-list'. I decided to keep the most expensive option open :-)

In the end it's also the easiest ticket to sell, if I have to (2nd row seat 47). And I'm affraid it will end up to that because bills and food always comes first. But we hope one of us (or both) will manage to get a job before April ...

At least we have our health and each other :D

[LucyK!]

Ohhh that's a nightmare Adje, not exactly the start to married life you'd hoped for I'm sure, but you're right at least you have each other!

If your wife's been made redundant are you guys not entitled to claim anything from the state? I've no idea how it works but surely there's something that can help while you get yourselves sorted out?

[Adje]

Thanks Lucy,

We both (will) get a monthly unemployment fee from our goverment. But it will almost all go to the house and bills. The curse of a luxery life :D

I'm a bit sad as I looked very forward to the shows. But there are so many people having it worse. And we do have a lot of fun together, money or not. So I'm fairly blessed.

In the end you can't always get everything you want. If it hadn't been for the concerts I'm sure we had our eye on something else unaffordable :twisted:

[LucyK!]

Your attitude is outstanding, not sure I'd be so calm and collected!

And you're right, if it's not Meat it's something else, so it may as well be Meat lol

[Monstro]

Sorry to hear that Adje, like Smoggy said, great attitude. Fingers crossed things improve!!!!

@ Jenna. What I like is how it's an up-to date Meat Loaf. A lot of my relatives still see Meat as the long haired big fella in a tuxedo with the red hanky. And I like the beautiful dark layout. Which goes with Hell In A Handbasket. Keep up the good work! :)

I wonder what the chances are on reviving the Like A Rose - Meat Loaf & Jack Black duet
to number one campaign Probably couldn't hurt. With a big tour on its way.

Meat is so much more than that big guy who sang Bat Out of Hell with a red hanky in his hand and that it what I wanted to show.

Took the ice cream out to have a couple of spoonfuls... Nek minut, ice cream all gone.... Oops.

I don't get "nek minut" where'd it pop up from? Is it only an Aussie thing, or is it being said all around the world? It's horrible but funny when someone randomly uses it.
