[Jamie]

What's all this about mini-golfing? I haven't got time to read through the last 10 pages, someone update me pretty please! :D

Jane, at last a southerner is online. Answer my London queries from the last few pages please:

1. How big is the Royal Albert Hall?

2. How big is the gallery in Maison Barteux, and what's it like?

3. Buy my Serj ticket off me :)

4. Buy my Wembley tickets off me :)

[Jane]

Thanks Lara! Why aren't you coming?

As for you:
1. Pretty big, no idea of exact capacity and I think it's always all seated. I've got some photos I could show you!? Wicked venue, you can hear a pin drop in there. Who's playing?

2. No idea! Sorry.

3. Er... no? I thought he sucked on the Foo tour. Unless some other kids from here are going then I'd be tempted for sheer comedy value.

4. How many you got? I think this is do-able.

[Jane]

Thinking about it, Maison Bertaux is pretty small so I'd imagine the space upstairs is too. It's quite a cool little cafe. Here's some random's flickr pics (scroll to the bottom):

2. Cool, I want to go see Noel's art gallery which is there. Sounds intimate, can't check Flickr at work though. :)

4. Two for each day. I need the money by tonight though, so... :D

wow this thread just keeps going at insane speed.
How is everyone?

Just not looking financially viable, chook. :( Red Rocks means I have a extra month to save, and the exchange rate is heaps better.:)

Subject: The Italian Lover
A virile, middle aged Italian lothario named Guido was relaxing at his favourite bar in Rome, when he managed to attract a spectacular young blonde woman.
Things progressed to the point where he led her back to his apartment and, after some small talk, they retired to his bedroom where he proceeded to rattle her senseless.

After a pleasant interlude, he asked with a smile, 'So, you finish?' She paused for a second, frowned, and replied, 'No.' Surprised, Guido reached for her and the rattling resumed. This time she thrashed about wildly and there were screams of passion. The sex finally ended and, again, Guido smiled and asked, 'You finish?' Again, after a short pause, she
returned his smile, cuddled closer to him and softly said, 'No.'

Stunned, but damned if he was going to leave this woman unsatisfied, Guido reached for the woman yet again. Using the last of his strength, he barely managed it, but they ended together screaming, bucking, clawing and ripping the bed sheets.
Exhausted, Guido fell onto his back, gasping.Barely able to turn his head, he looked into her
eyes, smiled proudly and asked again, 'You finish?'


Barely able to speak, the beautiful blonde whispered in his ear,

'No, I Norwegian'......

hold on guys - here comes another one........

THE MIRACLE OF TOILET PAPER

Fresh from my shower, I stand in front of the mirror complaining to my
husband that my breasts are too small. Instead of characteristically
telling me it's not so, he uncharacteristically comes up with a
suggestion: 'If you want your breasts to grow, then every day take a
piece of toilet paper and rub it between them for a few seconds'


Willing to try anything, I fetch a piece of toilet paper and stand in
front of the mirror, rubbing it between my breasts.


'How long will this take?' I asked.


'They will grow larger over a period of years,' my husband replies.
I stopped. 'Do you really think rubbing a piece of toilet paper between
my breasts every day will make my breasts larger over the years?'


Without missing a beat he says 'Worked for your arse, didn't it?'

SUBJECT - St Peter at the Pearly Gates

A man appeared before St. Peter at the Pearly Gates.

'Have you ever done anything of particular merit?'
St.Peter asked.

'Well, I can think of one thing,' the man offered.

'On a trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota, I came upon a

gang of bikers who were threatening a young woman.

I directed them to leave her alone, but they wouldn't listen.

So, I approached the largest and most heavily tattooed biker and

smacked him in the face, kicked his bike over, ripped out

his nose ring, and threw it on the ground. I yelled, 'Now,

back off, or I'll kick the shit out of all of you!'

St. Peter was impressed .. 'When did this happen?'

' Couple of minutes ago.'



i'm here all week.

[stu250]

excuse the grammar, i writ it all on myself........

A guy boards a transatlantic flight and as he walks down the planes aisle, he spots the most beautiful woman he has ever clapped eyes on. Not wishing to miss an opportunity he patiently waits until the seatbelt light goes out and wanders over to sit next to her in the empty seat.
"Hi there, how are you" he asks, "oh I'm fine thanks and yourself…?" she replies.
"yeah I'm good, business or pleasure..?" he asks "excuse me" she says…….."Your trip, is it business or pleasure..?"
"Well", she replies "it's actually a bit of both"." Sounds interesting, if you don’t mind me asking, what are you planning?" the guy asks…….
"I am on a trip around the world to research and dispel modern day sexual myths".
"Wow, sounds good, but what do you mean dispel sexual myths..?"
"Well, let me give you an example, I have found out that there is a common preconception that Latin/Italian men make for the best and most romantic lovers, however, I have recently been able to prove that it is actually red Indian tribesmen who in fact make the best and most romantic lovers".
"Interesting" says the guy, "any other myths you have shattered…?"
"yes", she replied "another common one is that afro-Caribbean men are the most well endowed men on the planet, but this again is not true, I have discovered that it is actually Greek men who are the most well endowed".
"Sounds like a really interesting line of work" he says, "but I didn't catch your name..?"
"Oh, my name is Julie" she responds……"and yours…..?" she asks………



"oh, pleased to meet you Julie, my name's Tonto, Tonto Pappadoppoulis".

1. :)
2. :D

4. I think I've got enough money now and I've called in some favours so I don't have to pay for some stuff until I get paid, so I'm in no major rush to sell them yet now. I do know someone with two level 2 seats who's selling though, those were the more expensive ones.

[Studmore]

So is anyone actually going to Wembley Saturday anymore? I know it will be shite in general but i need some live foo and i was hoping to meet some fellow fangirls :)

I'm still contemplating the Manc one aswell.....

Are you going on Friday too?

[Studmore]

I am:) But I'm desperately seeking a GA ticket, as I have seated level 1..

Are you going on Friday too?

Nope, just the Saturday as it stands. And i thought Level 1 were also standing? I know my order said General Admission: Pitch and level 1 unreserved seating. Or is yours just reserved level1?

[Jamie]

This guy is 25 and works in Morrisons? What a catch.

[Charlotte]

:)

I have a spare one for Friday if you're interested?:) It says Level 1 seated on ticketmaster and it said seated when I bought it, so I think it is seated. It is in section 101, actually a pretty good seat...

[Sophie]

He's management.

Throw him down and forcefully mount him!

Thanks but i doubt i will be able to afford the friday one aswell, being that it would mean an extra night in a hotel etc. Plus i'm never a fan of seeing the same show twice in the same place. :)

In the non work sense: I would.

I going to all 3.

Also, I owe you money still, Jules.

Hahahha.

Oooh so you do,a handy replacement for money spent on bribery presents in Luxor :)

I think when it comes down to it, i would do all three if i could afford to, but alas, i can't. I think i'll make Manc, but friday London seems unlikely, as does Tiddlywinks if it happens :(

[Jamie]

Oh, does anyone who can spare about £35-40 for a few hours want to do me a favour? There's a poster sale at 8:33pm and it's one per customer. I want two :(
I'll give you the money back straight away and pay postage etc :)

[Jamie]

I can probably guess the answer, but what poster costs 35-40 quid, and why do you want two?

Rob Jones, that's who. He does a lot of band posters (including the Stripes), and they were selling the tour leftovers. I got a Charlottetown 07 (A Penguin with wings, awesome) for $75 shipped, and I could easily get $300 for it on eBay. I sold a poster from one of the cancelled US shows for nearly $400 a few months back, and I didn't pay a penny for it.
If you have the Blackpool 05 poster, you can expect about $1400 for that one alone.

RJ just sold the Raconteurs set (25 posters) for $1500 on his site. 47 full sets sold out in less than a minute. Crazy stuff.

Nah my friend wants standing tickets so if anyone wants to get rid of theirs then let me know!

I'm going to both Wembley dates, am thinking of doing the Manc one, but not sure really... probably won't bother with it to be honest. The whole cost of getting up there and hotel etc etc puts me off!

I reckon they'll add a 3rd Wembley date closer to the time too. There's blatantly going to be some sort of mini golf opportunity I reckon.

Yeah i think minigolf/tiddlywinks is likely, but i know i will never get down there for the game, as it's bound to be in London. I'll have to commit to what day i'm coming down on the Train in mid March, theres no way i can come down on say the Wednesday or Thursday in the hope of Mini Golf, because it's so frigging expensive in London.

Getting a train down right after Mini Golf is announced is no good either because by then i'll have to get standard fare which is £65 one way.

All in all if there is a game of Mini-Golf, it's highly unlikely i can attend. :(

[Bexster]

I'm seriously considering pulling a sickie to go play mini-golf this time round if it happens. I don't want to miss out after the last one :(

[Zippy Ate My Drumkit]

I'll got the whole week booked off around the gigs for potential mini-golf/tiddlywinks action. I'm already going to the Manc gig and the Sat Wembley gig, might try and get tickets for the Friday gig as well.

In other news, i essentially slept from about 1 this morning until 4:00pm. Only got up to phone work to tell them i wasn't going in. not been well all week and today was the worst. :(

I can talk fine now, but everything else is feeling crappy at the moment. I've traded the lack of voice for a hacking cough, and it's not a good trade.

All in all, having an overnight trip down to Dover this weekend is probably not the best plan. Ah well. :p

Really? Are you rushing to get rid of it? I'm not 100% sure whether i will be coming down for the Friday as well yet, so I don't want to commit to anything yet, but if you are keeping hold of it for a bit, i'll speak to you about it closer to the time.

That Muse thing looks tempting, but i really can't justify another trip down south what with this weekend, Foos and Maiden already. At least not until next payday, when i'll be weak again and will end up buying a ticket for Reading. :p Already been weak this month and bought Radiohead ticket. :D

I know, it's more the general cost of a trip to London. I can afford it, i just shouldn't. Although i'm guessing that the cheap tickets will be up in the rafters and i don't really fancy that.

No, it's no rush..:) Just let me know in a little while and you can have it if you want to:) A friend of mine was supposed to come over from Norway, but it's really no point since I'm going back a few days after that, so she won't be able to go, so I definately have one spare...

[FooManiac4ever]

It's probably because we had loads of shows in one go... and now there's nothing.
June is definitely too far away.

I need to sort out a Manc ticket too... if Hyde Parks anything to go by Manc will be the good show and the two London shows will be average. I'll still go though :D

Hmmm, i've just seen on seetickets i can get one of those coach packages to and from the Manc gig, total price £76.55 from Lincoln, which is just down the road from me.

That would save the hassle and cost of train tickets/hotel, but i'm not sure, i've never done something like that for a gig and i would still have the problem of getting back from Lincoln to Scunthorpe late at night. Hmmmmmm....

Your English seems brilliant, at least on here. If i didn't know better i would think it was your native language, and i'm not just saying that :)

As for the gig that depends. My mum can't drive and my dad works at sea for two weeks at a time, so it would depend if he were at home then. I'll have to ask and find out, but it does seem like a good deal, surely cheaper than a hotel and train tickets.

[Zippy Ate My Drumkit]

First I spend £100 taking a friend to Hyde Park and have to leave during the Queens set because I was ill.
Because of previous mentioned illness I wasted the £80 I'd spent on Manchester tickets for the next day.
Next comes Dingwalls and I pass on a ticket because I couldn't get one for my then-girlfriend. Who I broke up with within a few months after that.
Then comes Cardiff and Work call me in for Overtime from 3pm to 9am on the morning of the show leaving me too tired and ill to drive from London, wasting another £70 on tickets in the process.

I hate the Foo.

there's not much near the stadium, but there are plenty of decent cheap hotels in the city.

Yes, it's definitely the sea - taken from roughly where that lighthouse thing is at the end of the left pier end (http://photos-a.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v159/107/60/513796344/n513796344_515168_1006.jpg)a couple of days after Christmas. trust me on this. :p

Same here. Cumbria is the only place in England that has any (only a solitary pair of them mind) and Skye has a lot of Golden Eagles and a few Sea Eagles. We'd get Eagles over the house on Skye fairly frequently. :)

I'll see if I can get some train tickets up there tomorrow, taking the train is far less hassle than the plane, so that would be good:)

You can usually get good cheap advance fairs on trains a month or two in advance. use www.nationalrail.co.uk and see what it brings up for dates you plan to travel.

[Charlotte]

Thanks!:)

[Studmore]

No problem! Advance fairs are great, you can go places for sensible money rather than be ripped off. For example the standard fare for me for a single to London is about £70. If i can get an advance far it can be as little as £14. Massive difference.

well, there's plenty more pics of the sea in the whole album (http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=23418&l=10246&id=513796344). Plus a few of my dad and a terrible one of me. :D

Awesome pics!:D I love the one of only the lighthouse, the one of st bees something and how cute is the baby seal?:)

I found some tickets for around £60 now, I'll look more tomorrow. I don't think £60 is that bad though...

Yeah that sounds quite good for London > Edinburgh, i'm only about half the distance from London.

I'm off to bed. Nighty night:) x

the baby seal was awesome! We spent ages just watching him swimming around. He'd been sat on the little beach and i must have disturbed him when i climbed down onto it.

And it's called St Bees Head - most westerly part of Cumbria (http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&X=300000&Y=500000&width=700&height=400&gride=&gridn=&srec=0&coordsys=gb&db=GB&addr1=&addr2=&addr3=&pc=&advanced=&local=&localinfosel=&kw=&inmap=&table=&ovtype=&keepicon=&zm=0&scale=500000&multimap.x=318&multimap.y=106). That mad covers all of West Cumbria, where what i is from. I know pretty much all of that area well and love going back to visit it. :o

No, £60 is fairly reasonable for London to Edinburgh

[Studmore]

G'night Charlotte. :)

this is knee time for those kind of jokes.

[Studmore]

Sorry lad, i was just trying to be funny like, you know, like those Ant n' Dec lads.

[Lara]

In my post? That's not a lake, that's the sea. I took that from the harbour wall. :p

Depends what you are looking to do and what transport you have. Cumbria is gorgeous and really scenic(and fantastic for walking), but not that great if you don't have a car with you to get about.

If you are looking for a nice city to visit, i'd thoroughly recommend Edinburgh or York. They are both fantasticly beautiful cities.
I read that as "wanking".:o :D

[Epic Failure]

Sorry lad, i was just trying to be funny like, you know, like those Ant n' Dec lads.

Well, each to their own i suppose. :D

Well to be fair I'd not long woken up when I read it, so I blame it on...sleep in my eyes. Yeah. That's it. :rolleyes:

Afternoon gents.

Did I mention I'm going to Red Rocks?

Because I'm going to Red Rocks.

:D

And the lovely Leela is taking my Friday Wembley ticket, yay. Still have a Saturday one up for grabs though; Jane, didn't you say you had a friend interested in a Saturday one?

[Studmore]

Oh damn right, some of the things he came out with were so un-PC, but so funny.

Is it bad that i don't know what Red Rocks is? :o I know where it is, but what is it, and why is it so famous?

I know i could google this but i can't be assed. :o

[Lara]

One of the loveliest places to see a gig in the world.:) (http://redrocksonline.com/pages/visiting/hist_geo.html)

Unless Lara is talking about a different one, I presume she is talking about the open air amphitheatre which is carved into the rocks somewhere in Colorado. It's a famous gig venue. Loads of bands have played there, amongst them U2, who recorded a live album, "Under A Blood Red Sky" there, one of the things that made them famous. :)

[Studmore]

So you're doing that instead of Wembley eh Lara Bear? But that means you won't get to meet me :( :p Nah, you're not missing out on anything to be honest.

[Lara]

Yep, realised I couldn't afford it; the US gigs give me an extra month to save, plus the exchange rate is so much better, thanks to the shitty US dollar.:D

And I'm sure I'll get to meet you eventually, like the Foos, I can't seem to stay away from the UK for too long.:p :D

[Studmore]

Yeah, and i bet that Red Rocks show is a lot better than Wembley anyway! You don't really want to meet me anyway, i'm quite shit really. :( ;)

Oh, and with the word 'win' i defeat Ian at Scrabulous. How apt. :cool:

[Hell O' Kitty]

Whats up punks?

Does anybody know of books on Queens of the Stone Age or Stoner Rock in general (Stu and Lara, I'm particularly looking and you two here)?

I am having such a hard time finding anything to read/reference to for my assignment and its due Monday. If I cant find anything, I may have to scrap it all and do the Foo's.

[Captain Stu]

It's not as bad as you think.
It's no worse than anywhere else in the country.

Exactly.

Liverpool is the best fuckin' city in the world, full of the best people in the world although some of them overstate their accent a bit and end up sounding like cunts.

[RockKat]

Morning :)

Bleurgh.

[Captain Stu]

Morning :)

Bleurgh.

Sup?

Awwwww, Knut. I love him. He's my favourite bear ever.

[Lara]

Morning all.:)
Kerry, tbh I don't recall ever seeing any books on Queens or "stoner" rock, sorry. There's a wealth of info online, but that doesn't really help when you need to reference, does it. /: Stu might know of some.

Nope, sorry, we've covered this base before... I personally have never seen or heard of any books like that.

What do you need exactly?

Post holiday come down :(

Didn't get much sleep weds night because of the flight delay and sleeping ok last night has left me feeling like shite too....all mongy headed.

[Katie Everlong]

I have 4 hours to do an essay, that i'd completely FORGOT to do. FUCK.

I need to do a critical analysis on a television production. I might do Dr. Who..mmmmmmm. Fuck

[Captain Stu]

Four hours? Bloody hell, Katie.

Is the Saturday one GA? I am very interested!:)

[Jane]

I had a go at getting tickets for Muse too, no chance.

Worth checking the website again later after they sift through all the duplicate orders though. I reckon a few odd ones might go back on sale. Gotta be lucky though.

[Captain Stu]

Hi, Jane.

[Katie Everlong]

Right i need to do a Critical Analysis of Doctor Who: Smith and Jones and i need to talk about the scriptwriters contribution. Any ideas? Im 230 words in..

[Bexster]

I wanna go there :eek: That place looks awesome :D

How about something on the lines of how the scriptwriters have to successfully introduce a new character into a role that was previously successfully filled by a popular character, and in very little time? If that makes sense.

That episode was filmed in the library opposite where I used to work. I saw David Tennant :D

[Jamie]

I couldn't get tickets either:( Of course the seetickets website broke down...
Just got through on the phone finally and the guy said it's completely sold out. I asked again, he said sold out. I asked again, he said there was a ticket in a private box available, dead centre. I said yes please :D

He said it might be restricted view, and when I asked how restricted it might be, he said "Well, there will be a row of people in front of you so you may have to stand at certain points". Bless the RAH people :)

[Lara]

Is the Saturday one GA? I am very interested!:)

It is, Charlotte! It's yours if you want it, PM me your address, and I'll arrange for seetickets to redirect it to you when they finally send them out. Then you can paypal me when it arrives. Or we can work out another way to pay me if you don't have a credit card/paypal account.:)

Thanks, Lara:) Yay! Will seetickets send it out to halls of residence though? Or do I have to go for the boxoffice pickup? I have paypal, so that will work itself out:) If only I can make it work in some other language than Chinese this time:p

Ooh, I don't think they do send to halls, but I've arranged for the Friday ticket to be sent to Leanne as she's buying that one; I'm sure she won't mind if I get the Saturday one sent there too, then once it arrives she can send it on to you. I'll ask her and let you know.:)
