I might be inclined to spend 650p to see Clapton, but that's about it.

I'm really sorry to hear that, Dean...that must have been absolutely devastating for you in your early 30's... . Did he actually get to see Alex during that last week?
I will certainly miss my disreputable old scrote of a father when he goes...

Hey Simon! Welcome to old farts corner! Where we don't give a hoot about what genre we all like, but we're still mighty miffed that Marathon's are called Snickers!  Pull up a chair, new boy makes the tea!

Bloody hell, a famous prog musician in the Shed. Hi Simon, when's the new album out?
The wife and I saw Clapton at the RAH years ago. I'm pretty sure that, even when adjusting for inflation, we wouldn't have paid the equivalent of £260 for the cheapest seats. Corporate rock at it's most outrageous.
£10 to see Pendragon at The Peel - now that's a bargain!!!

Nice to be made welcome boys and girls. How many sugars? The album is
in the oven right now so it has a nice crisp coating and should be
ready about May next year.
Young people today have no respect...good on 'em I say. See you down at The Peel.

It might be once you've removed all the fluff, dogs hairs, coins, dried bogeys and shredded Pallas album covers.

Have I missed something? Has the "playroom" been closed down for re-decorating?

Anyway Wilcey, that's what comes of you lot insisting upon driving around on the wrong side of the road all of the time!
