Music has always been a matter of energy to me. On some nights I believe that a car with the needle on empty can run 50 more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio. Hunter S Thompson

Well, there was a tour update in the relevant section!
PARIS IS SOLD OUT!
I'm missing my boy, and a bit fed up really! I just stopped work (despite there being plenty to do!) about an hour ago and have been trawling youtubes pretty much for the last hour.

Congratulations, glad it's going well.
Is there any of that lardy cake left?

I believe it will only be available AT the venue, Chris...and then only to Gold ticket holders...

I thought Jim's Shed was the celeb of the shed?!?!?! If you google me ( I mean my real name) I don't appear until about page 4 - and this with reference to my lovely boy! (There is someone else with my name, who is a notorious fraudster, who conned the benefit sytsem out of £40K and had a lot of holidays, and that DEFO was NOT me!) I'm going to bake a fresh lardy cake, I had a dreadful night, so please don't set me off today, it'll be easily done! must keep busy, must keep busy......... don't worry there will be plenty to go around, I'll make a nice big lardy and then we can all have a nice cup of tea....... that'll make me feel better!

Proudly sitting here with my Pendie 30/A tour shirt this morning (arrived yesterday), so whilst I wont be at a gig in person I certainly will be in spirit now!
Love the design Rachel.

Thanks PMH, we LOVE the shirts, I do wear mine a lot! The t-shirt designs were done by the guy who did the album artwork, he was a JOY to work with, and our T-shirt guy is lovely too so the shirts never feel like work! I love the way he did the back design, very nice, it's all there but it's not too "in yer face"

Great to hear Nick & the boys are having a successful European jaunt, Rachel & I know you must be missing the guy, but just think when he comes back in that front door, looks you straight in the eye with that special look of his (you know the one ) & says...

Today they are in Rome admiring the laydeeez, tomorrow is a travel day (their first "day off" ) Sunday is Lyon, Monday they are in Switzerland......... the Prog -Wag's favourite venue.......... IT HAS A LAUNDRY SERVICE!!! Love it, love it love it! Even so, you're right........ I packed 20 shirts all exactly the same, 20 pairs of sock, of pants, etc etc etc....... and despite LOVELY Switzerland, it's all doing to be pretty rank by the time they return home! I'm meeting the bus when it returns to the UK so I can pootle off on the "Shed Tour" to Wath and Biltson, so hopefully it wont be tooo smelly aboard the prog-wagon!

Mind you - by then, Environmental Health will probably have to carry out a controlled explosion on the tour bus loo

^ I had thought about adding all the Dean Cracknell's as friends, but I probably wouldn't like them very much and what if they'd like me at all?

Well I myself have 3 pairs of socks and 3 pairs of pants, which means I've only worn them 417 times each since I started posting here. They'll almost need washing soon!

It's tour clothing. 20 x "value" pants, 20 x "value socks 20 x value T-shirts. I kid you not. check ot the you-tubes floating around, it looks like he is wearing the same shirts every night........ "value" T-shirts. piles of them! I don't know what happens to them though, every tour we have this big stock up......... where DO they go in the in between time? Fred, I think that's both very cool and very Dave Gorman, but fun none the less!

there is a scientific way of determining this, Chris...
