A bit sad today. Today was a good friend of mines birthday. She used to come here... Unfortunately she left us last year for good...

Happy birthday Llan... I'll have a fishbowl of bourbon for you... and a box of Whitmans chocolates, only the biggest box of course.

I hope your kids are well...

Wasting time and came up with a new idea for a website theme.

Oh? .. thanks to Meat it's my favourite edition ;):D

Forgive my stupidity but what's different about it?

It has the regular CHSIB CD and a live CD. The regular CD is perfectly fine, but the live CD features possibly the worst attempt at mixing the world has ever seen. :shock:

I'm am now a Hard Rock Cafe VIP member

That tractor is a beauty!!!

Very original, not perfect, but tidy

And not a bad price

Have you got the 'hybrid shutdown' enabled? It's supposed to speed up the startup process by hibernating the kernel session rather than closing it down entirely on shutdown.

It can cause problems with some computers and I had to disable it on mine because the computer wasn't shutting down properly. Once I disabled it, I noticed the startup time increased so it was definitely doing something.

One exam left... Hope I've done enough!

oops, i meant to download

it starts up quick enough, just user error on my part, as i dont like change

which is why i've hardly used it :-)

it'll take a while before i make the permanent switch over from the old one to the new one.

lol, as long as the old one keeps going it might take a very long time

Spent most of the day gardening.
You humans do have strange past times.

The garden though is full of ants. Millions of em!

I saw Metallica back about 12 years ago. They were awesome. When they broke into "One" I really felt like I was in the middle of a war zone. The most surprising thing was that Godsmack opened up for them and I knew of Godsmack but didn't own any of their albums. I tell you what, I left that show and the next day bought two Godsmack albums. I went into that show being a Metallica fan and left a Godsmack fan.... ;)

That happened to me with Keith Urban. I had heard of him, but didn't know any of his music, and he opened when I saw the Eagles; his guitar-playing blew me away! I downloaded some of his stuff as soon as I got home that night, and now he's one of my favorite artists. :-)

Perhaps I need to get myself a London brochure to convince myself that London can be as special as Las Vegas. Otherwise I'm going to carry on being upset at the reality that Las Vegas is not an option for me.

London and Vegas are completely incomparable. Worlds apart...each with their good and bad points.

London is my favourite city on earth though, love the place

Can I go back to BED?

Oh they're very different I know and London is certainly no Las Vegas and never will be but I actually want to be able to 'want' to be going to London rather than just 'making do' with it because I can't go to Las Vegas.

I thought that as holiday brochures are geared to 'sell' places and make them look like desirable places to visit, that'd be the ideal place to start.

Haven campsite?

Oh gosh no. ;)

I used to go to Haven sites as a child. I loved them back then but I wouldn't want to be going to one now and certainly not in a tent.

On count down to Vegas cant wait to go back. More than a little excited would be an understatement.
I wasn't going to go I was supposed to be buying a new oven but the microwave works just fine ��

We're different people and we think differently, but here's how I would tackle the Vegas issue if I was in your position. I'm a very black & white/one or the other person, so as I see it you have two options:

Option One is to decide that, come hell or high water, you are going to Vegas, and you do everything in your power to get yourself there.

Of course, the things you do might not work and you still might not get there, but you can go to bed every night knowing that you fought hard and did everything in your power to go. It's disappointing that it didn't work but you at least had a bloody good go at it, and that's a really positive thing.

I always go for that option. I just wouldn't settle knowing that I didn't at least try.

Option Two is that you make the conscious decision that you are not going to Vegas. End of story. Meat's got lots of projects in the pipe line, so forget about Vegas and put your time and energy into ensuring that you can be part of what he does next, and perhaps see some other places in the mean time.

Either way you need to make a definite "plan" and stick with it otherwise you'll drive yourself insane.

I think that's where I'm going wrong. I've been flitting in between holding on to a dream and knowing that no matter how hard I try with some things, there are other things that are standing in my way that I have no control over.
I think you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned about making the conscious decision that I am not going to Las Vegas because half the problem right now is that I've allowed myself to think that it was a forced choice rather than a conscious choice.

Thank you for the well thought out post. If anything it's made me take a step and think about where I've been going wrong with this and now I realise that I can do something about fixing the situation.

i wonder what stanley thinks about the expected annoucement

im very disappointed

Seriously????
Too many sherries maybe?

Guy, on behalf of your neighbour, would you please cease skateboarding along her alleyway

this time last year (date wise) i was watching my last ever meat loaf show

i can't believe its been a year already

Belfast was a great night x

Never say never m8 ;)

Great show great people

I am judging a drag pageant tonight! Really? It has come to this? :-)

it was a one off night for me lol

but ive never liked the odyssey and i dont like seated rock shows... kills the atmosphere... dublin was much much better cause we were in the standing area in front of the stage :)

my fave gig was meat in the kings hall, which if i recall correctly was a sold out almost 14k capacity crowd, and ~~~~ing LOUD!!!

(kings hall in current health and safety era is about 7,800 max capacity)

thank goodness betty has facebook

A lot of people seem to prefer standing shows and say that the seated ones kill the atmosphere. I'm the opposite and couldn't think of anything worse than being in a general admission standing area with a load of people you don't know pushing and shoving you all the time. :(

I've not gone to concerts simply because they've been GA. I've done standing once at Newbury Racecourse but I was so stressed out about it beforehand and in the future I will do my best to avoid it at all costs.

Reason I didn't go to the Odyssey this time was I was nearly killed on the previous tour ;) Left with a black eye from being elbowed by one exuberant fan standing next to me at the front, and bruised and battered by another behind me who kept pounding my shoulders and head with their fist. If I'd realised when tickets went on sale it wasn't GA for Last at Bat I would have gone to Belfast .. those rows of seats don't stop anyone standing .. but they do provide some level of protection ;)

Belfast was weird on the whole sitting/standing thing...we had front row seats but did sit for a lot of the show as they'd put the wheelchair spaces on the ends of the front rows, so our standing blocked the views of those who couldn't...all very odd, not seen it done like that anywhere else.

Precisely why I like the seats. :-)

I go for standing if it's closer to the stage
