Re: Where are you going tonight?

Thursday I'm off to see a play. The Final Problem. Loosely based around the Sherlock Holmes story it's a narrative by Doctor Watson. Mrs GtE loves Murder Mysteries and especially Sherlock Holmes so I hope it's good. My daughter is a total Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie fan and Holmes is her favour...

Re: General Chit Chat

University challenge was the only show (this was back in the '60s) when they asked the question and I thought "wtf?". Hopefully it got a little easier over the years as I found watching it humbling. If you can get it over there Monty you should try Only Connect. I find it great viewing but I don't ...

Re: Today I'm happy about......

Meant to post this on Saturday but I still can't put pictures up on here. We watched the match last Saturday via the Platinum Suite. A treat for my 89 year old father in law, a season ticket holder for donkeys years, but ill health and caring for his late wife means he'd not been to a match in near...

Re: Today I'm angry about.....

Matt Hancock. Seriously. Does public service mean anything? Do the people who died as a result of your failures mean anything? Or is it all just about making your money whilst you can? The latter, obviuosly. If I went to Australia for three weeks and still expect to be paid, whilst unable to do my ...

Re: Where are you going tonight?

Just looking on one site. Cheapest Manchester tickets (Standing) £202.80 + 2.50 handling fee. Each. So they can Fvck off. Yet it'll still sell out. I've never known any body of people quite like the devotees of Iron Maiden to be so seemingly desperate to throw swathes of their money at anything. Do...

Re: The Politics Thread

If Putin decides to go tactically nuclear I think he'll target the UK. We're an island nation, physically removed from Europe. Nuclear weapons trained on London/ Liverpool/ Manchester/ Leeds/ Glasgow/ Edinburgh and Belfast would decimate the population and industry. This 'warning shot' would either ...

Re: Where are you going tonight?

That's floating vs demand for ya! ridiculous. I'm off to see Massive Wagons at the Sugarhouse in Lancaster on Sunday. Great band with a solid following. Should be a cracker. December is Planet Rockstock in South Wales. Three days of solid classic and new Heavy Rock. In a caravan park. Was brilliant...

Re: The athletics/running thread

Got Knutsford 10km Sunday and Leeds Abbey Dash the week after but my calf is playing silly buggers. Tweaked it warming up for ParkRun on Saturday. Sports massage booked for tomorrow will, hopefully, sort it out.

Re: Where are you going tonight?

That Maiden gig Bruce and I went to in 2017 was £65 I think, which I thought was a lot at the time. £75 would be ok. Any more and I'll stick with Ey Up Maiden at the Duck and Drake. I see that the presale starts today. Has anyone had a look? Thought it was tomorrow! Just looking on one site. Cheape...

Re: What are you watching tonight?

I can only think of his portrayal as Al Capone in Boardwalk Empire as a role where he wasn't Scouse. He did play Capone with a frightening intensity though. Haven't seen that. He did also play Anthony Provenzano in The Irishman. However, when set against the wonderful Bronx accents of De Niro and P...

Binge-watched three episodes of The Walk-In last night.A hard-hitting affair based on the activity of far Right groups and the true story of Matthew Collins' conversion from poacher to gamekeeper. Now, fine actor though Stephen Graham is, I'm getting a little tired of him playing every character he...

Re: Where are you going tonight?

I'm waiting to see what the Iron Maiden tickets will go on sale for this Friday. I've never seen them in an enclosed space (but twice at Monsters of Rock - Donnington). If I can get tickets for less than £75 I'll be astounded. But it may also be the last chance to see them with their full stage sho...
