pretty sure aspley cottage doesn't have tellies in there, or shows sport

but I could be wrong, just never noticed them in there before

[lord of waz]

Can't remember,only go in when at gigs.Anyway, the Apolo has just tweeted stage times.The gig must be on in spite of Nick's bad knee/back.On at 9.10!

[eric_c]

nice one

lets hope all is well in the wire camp

[eric_c]

not been to one of the aftershow parties in a very very long time. nor have I been in retro for a while!

will there be a decent crowd in there. worth popping along for a pint or two?

[lord of waz]

Why does have to be a Tuesday?! Got work at 7!

[eric_c]

aye same here, I have a very busy day scheduled as well and a hangover will be very noticeable

i'll have to remember to drink some water in between pints....it has never happened so far but there's always a first time for everything

I can't bring myself to watch the United game. We're going to get massacred.

Just saw the news about nicky in the other thread... hope he's ok.
A bad back is awful enough without having to wear a heavy guitar

My bad cold is still bad but I am going to battle on through! If you see a tall, pale woman poking her sinuses with a pained look on her face, that's me.

Looking forward to this, though after the tame set last night and Suede being legendary on Sunday the bar is set quite high.

Also, I went to Goldfrapp on Thursday so this is my sixth gig in a row. Knackered!
