I was fine, I had my attractive purple raincoat! (and a bottle of beer in every picture taken of me, as seems to be the case with fan club meetups...)

Brilliant day though, fantastic meet up and quite probably my most memorable meet and greet!!!!!!

liquid pain killers did a prety good job tonight... dont fancy me chances tomorrow though

A concert that close to where I live and I MISSED it. I'm still so annoyed with myself over that one.

:evil:

Well I was wearing light jeans and a cream top - game over!

I didn't get to go to that one because I was playing a gig in Hastings (after you had nagged the life out of me to do so) and then Meat went and played a show on the same day, so you ~~~~~~ed off to that instead lol

I'd completely forgotten about that, on the plus front I'm pi$$ing myself laughing all over again lol

He has gotten so big.. :D

I'll still sad about Bath a friend of a than boyfriend had a ticket but I was to scared to go on own my :( I'd never let it hold me back now though! I nearly went in '10 on my own but than I met Ash :)

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 :(

Bristol was the last UK show of the 3 Bat tour in 2007.

Speaking of Bath, did anyone happen to save Kasim's Backstage Pass video from Bath and Liverpool?

I think I might have the Bath one on my desktop.

If you have it would you be so kind as to send it over to us?! We're on it, kept meaning to pinch it and I forgot!

I've had a look on the computer and I can't find it at the moment.

If I find it on one of my backups I'll let you know and send it over.

So British Airways are running a competition in Victoria St. where you have to fly a flight simulator against 3 people. Who ever lands with the most skill wins.

BRB gonna get some free tickets.

why is fuel soooooo cheap in the US?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21238363

How much is it?

Saudi it's like 3p a litre.

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.

I do have Kasim's Backstage Pass video saved somewhere on my computer, since I am in it. I will go hunting for it and get it to you. That was a memorable show! Wish I could do it again for this coming tour

I paid $3.89 a gallon today. We have some of the highest gas prices in the country thanks to all the local taxes. :roll: It's started creeping up again recently.

We're paying aprox $1.70 a litre here

Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Forum Runner

Of course you were!! That's great Cathy,thanks!

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:

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!

I think you are overlooking the benefits we gain from having a higher fuel and road tax.;)

And what would they be?

pothole-free roads?

On yes... those lol. And massive swathes of unlit streets...

London tomorrow!

was going to bed.... but then I saw Shawshank Redemption was on TV.... Damn.

By far the best movie adaptation of a Stephen King story :cool:

I always have that problem too... Even though I have it on DVD and can watch it any time I like...

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

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...

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...

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.

Why is it that I can NEVER find decent seats (or any at all in some cases) for the shows I want to go to?

It's not as If I expect front blocks necessarily, just anything that isn't way up in the back blocks. :evil:

funeral was today

Didn't make it through the whole movie... Fell asleep, I've been a wreck of late, sleep-wise

Very excited for Cardiff can't wait to meet you guys :)

Thanks for your thoughts guys, I'm absolutely fine

It's his family and kids I feel for, it'll be hard for them, but the grieving process can begin for them now

now how the hell am i gonna get this tv hooked up???

nearly all bloody hdmi's, and ive virtually everything scarted

big big mistake starting this

You can get those scart to hdmi convertors. They have a HDMI plug on one side and a Scart on the other

are they cheap?? its only to keep some classic consoles on the go :-)

I believe they are around 45 pounds (or something). Google 'scart to hdmi' and I'm sure you get some offers. :cool:

45 quid!!! bloody hell, gonna have to do with out then, but thanks adje for the suggestion

for sensible people, thats probably a good solution, as im not sensible, and keep messin with things, not a good solution

i rewired everything.. in theory it should work, but i had to resort to a multi scart block.. only problem is i think i gave them away about 5 years ago :(

c'mon, you must be dying to know how a 3do looks on a modern tv
(s vid though.. gonna take an even smarter solution :) )

What is is about some artists forgetting their fans on the South Coast and in the South West when they tour?

I love Easyjet really tempted to go to a show in Ireland just need to convince Ash...

me too

Really? That's a hell of a trip for you, Jonty!! :shock:

as its the farewell tour, its worth the extra effort

this is not good.. im not tour ready... not in shape

It is a Meat-fest in my sewing room this morning!!! So tour excited it's borederline ridiculous!

Blow it out your ass pipe you over-grown twit.

Don't like ios 6

You're not alone. Wifi becomes unstable, and often you'll see No Service in places where you'd previously had reception. Apple say these are not OS related faults, so I guess we're to believe that everyone's phones/iPads were somehow damaged during the update :roll:

tut tut... it's apple... "it just works"

snow!!! i love snow!

I watched this is 40 last nightand Paul Rudd's character was singing along to Paradise by the Dashboard light :)

Bruce springsteen is doing a weekender...

Are you planning on going? Sounds like a great time. :-)

Looks like I'm getting Fleetwood Mac tickets friday!

My wife got me a cool small Digital camera for my birthday today. I didn't ask for anything but she said "So you can take a few pictures when seeing Meat Loaf!" She is so sweet :cool:

Outside run today 2.2KM in 10:07. Need to get another 200m within 1m07s on a treadmill for PJFT. Should be easily doable (Yes that was done listening to Bat Out Of Hell!).

Got a Blackberry playbook for £99 today. Brilliant little toy.

Never thought I would see Men At Work songs performed live, especially following the sad passing of Greg Ham last year.
But, to my utter delight Colin Hay is playing the Bush in May. I couldn't book tickets quick enough. I am ecstatic.
So, I could possibly have Meat, Saxon and Colin Hay in the space of four frenetic weeks.
It's just a shame the Meat gig is my uncertainty.

Damn header graphic just will not look right. :evil:

Just need a brighter monitor, some SPEAKERS. This mouse may take a little getting used to. I believe I am going to enjoy my new computer :)

desmond child co wrote my favourite aerosmith song :shock:

New avatar. Smashing.

:twisted: Time Team has just been on the telly, and I suddenly feel very sorry for Tony Robinson.
How long as he been doing that show?
Spening days in wet muddy fields, and what has he found? A spoon, a couple of pieces of pottery, and an arrow head, and then these ~~~~~~s come out of nowhere and go "TA DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, full skeleton of an English king.

I really am dreading next week. Working a seven day straight.

Perhaps they could make use of that fancy barge thing and give him a proper Royal send off down the Thames. That'll bring the crowds out again.

I don't understand how the shipping on a miniature bottle of jagermeister is over £4 on each website I've checked :(

Because post is expensive! Royal Mail changed the format for costs and sizes last year, works fine for larger items but small items really take a hit.

I agree it's getting ridiculous now! I looked around on some US websites and recently I've not seen any shipping prices for less than $40 :(

Does anybody work in a supermarket? I applaud you for having the patience to put up with idiot customers.
These places drive me mad.

I worked in one for just over a year. You meet some 'interesting' people when you work in retail.

hows your real RAF moustache going? will it be ready for your interview?

Monitor is brighter now. I just had to log in the computer and do some brightness/contrast tweaking and looks great. Also last night was easy going. Played the Guilty Pleasures DVD with my stereo ear phones and it sounds better than it did on TV. A crisp DVD and a very informative interview with Meat and his people.

hoping a little more twirly whirly.

Is there anything nicer than Cadbury's Creme Egg I've cream?

If you mean ice cream then yes, it's awful, the flake one's much better!!!
