Black Sabbath are still touring? I saw their 'Final Bow' in 1999 at the NEC. Damn them for going back on their word.

Just scored tickets for Radiohead at the Arena next July and Grandaddy at the Albert Hall. 2003 called and wants its gigs back.

Ahhh, didn't think Grandaddy tickets were on sale until Friday! Are you on O2 or summat? Fingers crossed there's some left on general sale.

Ha. I saw Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow in July!

So far next year I've got tickets for Sabbath, Green Day at Hyde Park and, ahem, Cage the Elephant at Brixton (no idea it's little Miss GtE's band de jour)

I'm a long-time member of the Radiohead WASTE shop/community/thing and they e-mailed a link on Monday morning. Managed to keep my nerve enough to tap in my card details and get the tickets before my time ran out! Very pleased.

Not too fussed about Grandaddy TBH. They used to be my favourite band and they're OK live without being exceptional. Definitely more of a 'record' band than a live act (i'm getting old now). Saw them plenty around the early 2000s and they were great times. Now I'm just a bit 'meh'. Sometimes bands come back and it's just going through the motions - that what the last G'Daddy 'comeback' felt like at the Ritz 3-4 years ago.

Wishful thinking part 29: I wish I had one tenth, nay, make that one hundredth of the money that's gone up in smoke every night this week in Farnworth .

What's all this business about £5 notes beginning with A being worth more than £5? I have 2. One begins with A, the other with AA. Am I rich? What kind of numismatic 4uckwit pays above £5 for................. £5?

Get with the times Grandad. The popular notes are those that start with AK47.


BRRRRRAAPPPPPP!!!!

I believe that the AA ones were selling for up to £200 as recently as a few weeks ago, so you might be in line for a small windfall.

They're quite valuable to collectors of currency apparently.

Cheers Nicko. I'll have a look on ebay.

Sold our house. Got a sliding patio door that is faulty, lever handle lock doesn't engage so we can push it to but it isn't really secure. Although there are clips we can use from the inside to stop it from being opened from outside but it isn't locked as such...

Is this summat that we should have rectified before we move? They have had surveys done and it wasn't picked up, but thought we might still be in some breach of contract if we just left it??

Bit of a grey area I think. If there are material defect or problem I thought they were answered in the Property Information Questionnaire? Bit of a time since I sold a house.. Irregardless of whether they've had survey's done or not, as I understand it, the Seller is legally obliged to disclose anything that might materially alter an average buyers decision. Under normal circumstances I think a wonky door probably isn't material in cost terms to the value of a house. However if Joe, the knife wielding axe man came through it, first night in and butchered 4 people, then I reckon there'd be a fair case!

[General Mannerheim]

Kinda my thoughts too. I reckon it's broken enough to piss them off and speak to their solicitor - that's what I'd do anyway! So it'll prob be cheaper to get it fixed now than let them do it and send me the bill!!

Aye, the cost of the legal leech will be more than double the repairs.

Clifford strikes again. £300K of public funds to a bunch of ambulance chasers with an entirely questionable record in relation to employee rights. Well done, Labour voters. Another vote for the common man.

Spotted that earlier. Absolutely outrageous and a worrying development. Something city councils in the US started doing in the 80s but presumably with more transparency than our Cliff could manage

It's the fat controllers version of foreign aid.

Still it is about what I'd expect from the shady characters who hold positions on the council, I wonder how many firms working on this are 'loosely connected' to our property holding/developers at the top, don't hold your breath for a BN in depth investigation, they are constantly bed hopping with the Bolton Labour party.

To think, folk mocked me over Morris and his muckers, they make the Islington mob look clean propped up by the activist from overseas minority.

They got elected and therefore are carrying out the will of the people. Get over it snowflake.
