I like a bit of Van Helden, but this was absolutely shit.

I've never seen them at McCluskys, but I've seen them at The Hippodrome aka The Works aka Volts, The Rose Theatre and Pryzm formerly Oceana, which I think may even be called something different these days!

Enter Shikari are calling it a day at the end of next year, which is gutting. Exit Shikari? A band that has meant a lot to me and my family over the years. I've seen them in front of 20 odd people at the start, to festivals, to tiny thank you shows, acoustic sets, met them at signings, and taken our children to see them as well, who both love them. Me and my ex must've seen them together well over 20 times. I once went to see them at Ally Pally, my ex lost her ticket on the way, she was in tears, and someone in the queue overheard us and gave us his spare. A proper community of fans. One of my favourite ever memories of them was seeing them at Reading in 2007 just after Take To The Skies had come out, taking a mate in to the tent who was more into indie, he lasted 20 seconds of the heaving mosh pit before telling me he couldn't handle it and went back to our tent. I can still picture his face of fear as he got swallowed up in the crowd. Makes me laugh every time. Here is a very awkward me meeting them, looking like a member of the band 😆 Will miss them and hope they all enjoy their "retirement"

Looking back, does everyone think WCW putting Nitro head to head with WWE was deliberate? Think it might have been you know.

I had this one: SHAM! DER DER DER SHAM!

They could play it in reverse?

Today on the forum: can foods have regional identity? Sort of thing that keeps me coming back.

I know one, and he was there during the League One days, and is aghast at what's happened but not arsed about what their punishment is. He thinks they should be kicked out altogether. The best I've seen is that it's racist what's happened, and United under Fergie should have all their titles stripped under FFP. You know, the rules that didn't exist then. Spurs fans:

Personal preference eh?

Should've gone 2007 electro rock and then it could've been Does It Offend You, Aye?

This would be most welcome.

"900m? Blimey, not even Uncle Harry would commit tax fraud on that scale! But no seriously, he's said to not go looking through his accounts as he assures me they're all fine. Don't look"

This is fantastic and I could watch him walking round Calgary for hours.

Yeah she's lovely. I saw her at Spurs last season, and I said hello, like your work etc, mentioned my youngest wanted to one day work in football, and she spent a good five minutes chatting with her, while I tried to act cool.
