[maviczap]

Yes you are, now go get your pipe & slippers ;)

[Ed]

Zap, yes... too true... I think other members were too embarrassed to answer:lol:

[maviczap]

They're already tucked up in bed with their mug of Horlicks :D

[mattSV]

Stone Roses - who? ;-)

[DJFridge]

No, you're not too old. Yes, they will still be sh1te.

[Ed]

Stone Roses - who? ;-)

Contemporaries of Mozart;)

[dizzyblonde]

Ian Brown was looking old ten years ago.....;)


Ed, I think a lot of us old farts can zimmer away to the tones of the roses :lol:


I'll run and hide if the Carpets decided to come back too!

[Specialone]

I'm a big fan of Ian browns, thinks he's better solo though, been listening to him today actually :)

Btw, Ed, you are too old ;)

You will never be as big a fan of Ian Brown as Ian Brown is!

[fizzwheel]

I'm going hopefully. I hope they are not sh*te, they werent the last time I saw them and that was a bl**dy long time ago.

I hope they "mean it" and arent getting back together because they are skint, but with Ian Brown being a succesful recording artist and Mani having a spot with Primal Scream I cant see those two giving that up just for cash and a one off type thing.

I'd love to hear another album, without Squire's overdubbed guitar parts drowing out, what is possibly the finest Rhythm section known to man...

[STRAMASHER]

Ian Brown, everytime I have seen him live (festies), is gash. Can't cut it. So I'm out. :(

Maybe he can get the Xfactor folks electronic 'hingies to let him sound like he is holding the tune!

[-Ralph-]

Yes!

that was a bl**dy long time ago.

Of course it was. You too!

;)

Anyone else in their 30's and 40's been to a nightclub recently and realised that they just don't belong there? Quite amusing actually, especially watching the spotty teenage lads dancing round the girls and hoping to hell that's you looked a bit cooler then, than they do now. :lol:

Then you really realise you don't belong when you look at the teenage girls, and instead of your eyes popping out of your head, you find yourself thinking, "If I ever have a daughter, there's no way she'll be leaving the house wearing that!"

[Dicky Ticker]

I felt like that 25 years ago Ralph------things have progressed since the days of the squirrel dance :D

[carelesschucca]

Lets be honest Ian Brown can't sing live, I walked out of the tent when I went to see him at T in the Park years ago... But he's got the best simian swagger ever, and he'll cut yer fecking hands off.

I won't be going to re-live my teenage years by giving them money, but I'll have a listen to their first album again.

Time hasn't been kind to Mani has it, suppose spending your life with Bobby G is going to have an effect.

[Littlepeahead]

Ah so sweet that they now all love each other again and none of this has anything to do with having to pay the mortgage - honest.

Surely the more exciting news is that Steps are getting back together?

At a cricket awards do recently I was dancing with some of our academy players - all of them aged 19 - 21 and realised that none of them were born when the song we were dancing to was released (Together in Electric Dreams) at which point I decided that in future I either need to dance with older men or to newer songs.

I shall be one of the thousands trying to get tickets this week too, unless they are ridiculously expensive.

Even if it's a let down i'd like to be able to say i saw the let down and be all snobby about it.

My mates of similar age don't understand why I don't like doing the clubs anymore, I feel like a grandad :(

[dazbo]

what is possibly the finest Rhythm section known to man...

As long as that man hasn't heard of John Bonham and John Paul Jones... pfft!

[Binky]

So who did and didn't get a ticket? If you didn't there is another Sunday date going on sale for 10:00, so one minute ago...

MOVE!! GO!! ;)

[DaveW_42]

argh!!! Just keep getting 'problem loading page'

[Binky]

Which day are you buying for?

[fizzwheel]

Trying to get tickets for the extra Sunday gig, I'm in some kind of queue on the seetickets website which hasnt as yet crashed...

[DaveW_42]

any available - think fri and sat have already sold out though... trying for sunday

[DaveW_42]

got through to the page where it asked for payment details - then get the reply 'I'm sorry, it looks like we sold out of tickets while you were entering your payment details'!
NOOOOOOOooooooo!

[Binky]

Try ents 24. I just bought an extra two tickets for some friends no problem. I have no idea what it going on for you guys. I'm having no issues here. Buying tickets left right and centre if i wish.

Watch me get scammed and not receive anything now...

[fizzwheel]

The seetickets site has taken my payment details but still "processing" but its not crashed so I'm just going to leave it and see what it does...

[DaveW_42]

ents24 says face value tickets sold out now too...

[fizzwheel]

All the tickets sold out in 68 minutes, 220,000 of them apparently...

Seems there is still a few about, but at stupid inflated prices, which I'm not willing to pay...

[Littlepeahead]

Well if you didn't get tickets there is always Westlife..

But they do sometimes keep an allocation back for sponsors etc. and these go on sale a few weeks before the show.
