Oh hell, I hope I don't turn into my Dad!  I'm not ready for chest hair!!!! On the scary side, I sometimes find myself talking to the kids and inwardly cringing as I can hear my Mum speak......... or I walk past a mirror and see my Nanna  I said to someone this morning about when we were 20yrs old 50+ Seemed ANCIENT, now it seems young!  We've got to face it chaps, we're turning into "old people" |

I miss my Dad too (he died the week after Alex was born - that ripped me in two
 ) - but on the bright side, I'm slowly turning into him.  |

Or:
Evening with Clapton: Entry fee £650 Evening with Pendragon: Entry fee £12.50 Evening with Wilcey: Entry fee 1 Packet of Tyrells Beetroot crisps Evening with dad: Priceless, yet impossible (but still more likely than our paying £650 for Clapton!) |

^^I wouldn't worry, Jim...I had a rant about stationery supplies in the Shed the other day...highly therapeutic it was too... but because it was in the Shed, most people just ignored me... I completely agree with you however...there is NO human being on this planet I would be prepared to part with £600 to spend the evening with... unless it was my father on his death bed... |

The galling thing is, it will sell out... over the hill he may be, but still a formidable musician on the right night, but what will he get when he plays (apart from a bloody great fat cheque
)? A hall full of rich businessmen & their clients paying absolutely no notice to the music & only waking up when he plays Layla which even he has admitted he cannot stand playing anymore but the audience demand that he does so he tries to change it live but this never works & he has to keep the opening riff da da da da da da daaaa DA DA DA DA duuurr and he carries on lumbering through this old chestnut again knowing that as soon as the piano solo comes in the middle everybody loses interest (let's face it we lost interest at that point even in 1970) & wanders off to the bar or more likely on this particular show to the corporate entertainment suites which will fill the venue in place of any merchandise stalls (even if they were there a tee shirt would probably cost in excess of £100 & a sweatshirt would be the equivalent of Europe's GDP but thinking about it this is probably in negative figures now but thats another rant for another day so therefore a bad comparison anyway where was I? Oh yes...) and only returning to their seats when he announces on stage the obligatory special guest which is usually Phil Collins who will sit at the drums & play in the air tonight AGAIN to huge applause from the massed ranks of corpulent business people who think Clapton's playing an ironic version of a chocolate advert.
I definitely need that lie down now... or at the very least directions to the Ranting Room (sorry, it just feels so fitting to rant in the shed...) |

It's good to see that he has taken the current economic climate into consideration. 'God' knows what the prices would be otherwise. He's probably a supporter of John Maynard Keynes.Spend in a recession,be spendthrift when markets are positive. Edited by Man Erg - October 24 2008 at 08:07 |

^^ absolutely no-one is worth that kind of money...
next week, I'm off to see Panic Room perform a 2 hour set in a bar in Worcester...for £8
personally, I'd much rather spend my time supporting reasonably priced grass roots music and artists..

Anyone fancy a Shed outing to go to see Eric Clapton? Nice cheap tickets for a guitar legend... Nice to know he's not cashing in or anything... I think I need a lie down

Oh my word - not only a completely new track (Return Of The Geant Hogweed from French TV  ), but sleeve notes on 'Selling England...' by Jeremy Clarkson 
This looks like a serious contender for Christmas Present Hint Of The Year... VICKY!!! Edited by Jim Garten - October 24 2008 at 03:51 |

Well I can look back on more than 10 years of happiness with Mrs Syzygy.
Then we got married.
Should we change the name of this place to the old jokes home?

Never underestimate the laziness of the British workman - yes, there was a car parked there when they came to paint the yellow lines. Yes, they could have waited for it to move.
