I'm sorry, but I wouldn't pay £125 to see anyone...Stern%20Smile




A bit different to the £1 'restricted view' ticket that I bought when I saw them at Earls Court in 1975.

Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Yep! I was probably wearing a pair of zip-up Chelsea Boots around that time.

thanks, Alan - though i'm really surprised no-one else has mentioned this on here - i put up a thread but it was removed.... 
 
aha! i just found it in the "announcements/press release" section (and my lost thread!) - i should visit the darker dustier corners of the site more - my vote's in , hope i'm lucky this time..Confused
 
 
 
 
 
Yoh, finally managed to get my application in!
Now, there's 18,000 tickets and, judging by how busy the web site's been, about 90% of the civilised world has entered the ballot so my chances of getting tickets are (answers on a postcard please).

My mate almost dresses like that now... well, he dresses a bit silly.

Sometimes leather trousers, sometimes jeans, with an open necked, string-tied t-shirt and a waistcoat.  Plus the New Rock boots.

He looks like a pirate.

He's cool though.

You mean you dressed up especially when you met me?

Oh and I know you said Evelyn looks like Anna Ford, but I think she has more of a Harriet Harman look about her.

Oh and I know you said Evelyn looks like Anna Ford, but I think she has more of a Harriet Harman look about her.*hides* The only Harman around here will be when I get hold of you.

Well Anna Ford looks like Evelyn as well.  Anna Ford actually went to Manchester University at the same time as Peter Hammill (but a different year), she was head of the SU.

I know lots of trivial stuff like that. LOL
