  1. I'm going to see Drain tomorrow night at Rebellion in Manchester. It was originally meant to be at Canvas but that venue unexpectedly closed down a few weeks ago. Bit gutting as going ti new venue is almost as exciting to me as the gig itself. Curfew is 9.45 though, absolutely marvellous. Early curfews are the new 'free shots'.
  2. Just seen on my works MSN news home page that The Express are hailing Owen Jones criticism of Labour. 'My enemies enemy....' and all that.
  3. I know people mentioned it when Pearl Jam tickets went on sale but these 'legacy' acts charging extortionate prices has to hit a ceiling at some point. They're clearly working on the premise that their audience demographic will have the disposable income & are less likely to be going to lots of gigs so will justify it as a 'special night out' but it's still rotten. Previously the size of the venue would dictate the ticket price but this has seemingly switched to the audience the artist attracts. The 'dynamic' pricing model recently used by Green Day & Springsteen can fuck right off too. I've got tickets for Tool at the Manchester arena in June but after that I'm very tempted to just swerve these massive gigs altogether.
  4. Given that Jones is just the Farage of the left this is his 'Brexit isn't working moment. He's an agitator & a professional protestor, that's where his income & appeal comes from. Just like Farage was lost when he actually got the Brexit he'd spent years campaigning for Jones needs to find a new angle. His stock was already damaged after he'd spent years claiming what the people wanted was a 'proper left wing Labour leader' & when he got it 'the people' rejected it. Now he's doing this before he's resigned to whatever his equivalent of pointing at boats at Dover is. It'll probably secure him a media cycle. Some more appearances on The Wright Stuff & Loose Women. Job done.
  5. A mate went to Manchester the other night and said they were excellent. Check the timings though as they came on early & the whole thing was done by 9 30pm.
  6. Thought this might be of interest to some folks on here. I'm sure there's other dates.... I've only ever been to 2 'An evening with...' things (Scott Ian from Anthrax & Barry Norman..FTW) so no idea whether this will be a total car crash or an entertaining evening of charming anecdotes. If this is the scale the rooms will likely be small so you'd probably get to meet him.
  7. May have to go to this. Always wanted to see Del live.....
  8. Bet there'll be no shortage of Tory MP's willing to say he's a racist now.
  9. Kin (BBC iPlayer) - We binged through both series of this (only 8eps per series) & thoroughly enjoyed it. I often dismiss BBC stuff under the assumption it'll be lightweight but no such fear with this. Cracking ensemble cast & real edge of the seat stuff if places. Francis Magee is fantastic and exudes menace. Heavy recommend for fans of violent gangster shit.
  10. Saw Dune 2 yesterday and echo the sentiments. It was epic in every sense. Javier Bardem was wonderful.
  11. Eatclean? Completed it mate
  12. Get a slow cooker! You can bung all the ingredients in & not have to worry about coordinating timings, multiple pans or burning anything. We use our loads & not just for casseroles.
  13. https://twochubbycubs.com/slimming-world-recipes/ I found loads of good recipes on this blog that are now staples. I've never been on slimming world so you can ignore the references to points etc. The 'fakeaways' section was particularly useful.
  14. Nothing more shitarse than a massive headliner logo with 'DJ set' next to it in tiny lettering.
