Jo Whiley doesn't know the difference between the Faces and the Small Faces, and therefore is incredibly stupid.

I live in Newbridge, so I have a decent chance...

Please note that the allocation process for tickets is geographically weighted as follows: 75% for Blackwood, Newport and Cardiff and 30% for the rest of the UK
that adds up to 105%. Someone needs fired

Edit- yes Relic!!!!

Nah, they're two separate allocations, so you'll be fine.

I've applied even though I'm working that night, because I've never won any Manics comps, and I don't expect to win this one.

You'll probably win this one cos you can't go! I won one once - I was the 103rd caller to Piccadilly Key 103 radio in manc. I won This is My Truth signed, a day before it came out and a green Tolerate T-shirt. Then had a 1 in 4 chance of being called back on the Friday to win a seat at the Manics' table at the album launch, but didn't win that

I've applied even though the chances of me being able to go are approximately 0.05%. was tempted to put my address as Blackwood but thought that might be going a little bit too far in the unfairness stakes!
