Excellent a music thread.

Been to a few gigs wont list the festival shows.

green day, blink 182 limp bizkit franz ferdinand arctic monkeys, editors, maximo park, the cribs, the enemy, get cape wear cape fly, the dykeenies, foals and a special mention to the wombats total waste of a night.

Getting tickets nowadays is a pain. remember just trotting down to sleeves when you got paid there were always tickets. Now even the poor bands are selling out.

I think this might just take the buiscuit....

i've agreed (while under the influence of alcohol and having the scariest mother in the world ) to go to newcastle with her in november to see Cliff Richard if she in turn pays for us to also go and see ma other team newcastle the same weekend.

The shame of it all. no matter how much i love the toon army (not as much as the rovers obviously) this has to be the stupidest intoxicated thing i've EVER done Embarassed
