Hi Peter, it's been an appalling way of doing the sales this time i agree. I really hope you manage to get something normal price and near the aisle for you

Wont be the same at a Paul show without seeing you!! Been a terrible year, my mother in law died in April, and our  21 month old son has leg problems amongst others and had to have a brain MRI in May to rule out a birth injury - only found out recently that result was normal which is great!!!! But everything is still hard, and the London show is my birthday so my sister forked out for the package as a pick me up. If we knew we could've got normal tickets we would have done with that, as the debt is terrible.. as it is for most people

Sorry for waffling on! Hope you are doing ok considering - take care.

Hi lass, so you are a MILHug, congratualtions, You got to love your sister. I took mine to see the Osmonds many years ago and she has never even taken me to the chippy. Will reply more in a pm when i find it again somewhere on word though i had saved it.

9 o'clock in the morning  HMV door opens and the geezer "that was lucky" i replied "it was planned". He looked at me as if i was a weirdo ( i am but that is inconsequential) and watched me walk not foor feet to the Lp and cd stand with EGypt Station on it and said "haha i get it now". All the time whilst I Don't Know  was playing, yes a little bit of the old excitement was coarsing thru me. Buought the deluxe version at £12.99 then tried to read the track listing, and decided poundland it is for the quid specs. So thought whislt it was playing i would do a browse was very retrained for me got an A.Franklin and Joan Amtrading best of for a tenner. Both artists I have on comps so quite pleased with that purchase and looking forward to playing them maybe by sunday.

Left during the playing of fuh you, pain was really beginining to kick in and had poundland and sainsburys to do before home. First impressions  of the 5 songs or so i heard well seems to a must have for any macca fan or beatle fan, so the pain was worth it, not as good as hearing some tracks off NEW at the radio two recording a few years ago. Plus we must support local record shops. I dont think i have been in their for a year or more but that is due to my disabilities and in the days before the internet  and since record shop staff have been great to me.

Not taken the morphine sypruh pain killer ass it works but makes you fuzzy headed like a little drunk , so just waiting for pain to subside and listen to the album clear headedly.

Egypt Station is due for release on Friday which seems strange as these days it is hard to avoid hearing an album till it's official release. But i have succeeded in not hearing a full song and only one partial song  with only 34 hours to go I am even avoiding reviews.

So come Friday morn it will be get the bus into town or taxi fi the back is killing me, and off to HMV and get my copy. This might seem daft to some folk but buying iy online or hearing it online just doesn't do it for me. yes I am an old sod. Some years ago, I did buy one online and it did come before the offie release, luckily i wasnt at home so didnt get to play it. I was in London and then buggerlugs announced a signing session of said album so in the end i got two. One is worth about £3 i reckon and the other is priceless to me.

Basically I think i am trying to recapture my youth in terms of anticipation and excitement.

Peter  sad old get.

Block 111 (which is a side block) selling at an astronomical £471 plus fees this morning on Ticketmaster if anyone is interested 

I don't buy from touts.

Well due to health issues I tried to get an accessibility ticket which basically means when you can walk  you get an aisle ticket, what a mistake . I was anxious not to spoil anyones enjoyment as in his overlong shows i will leave twice or thrice times to get relief from back pain. I know it sounds daft but 3 years ago the sound package was a big deal of money to me and physically too much i had to leave just after halfway through. Luckily the next night  ihad a ticket only 8 rows further back and only 3 seats in from an aisle. That one i was able to enjoy not having spent the aftenoon at the venue and it was a great show and many friends were there so it having to be my last show so be it. Particularly loved the wiggling fro ma young friend in front of me after not seeing her for 6 years. Did feel annoyed that all the packages were sold during the first pre sale not that i would attend the sound check again. The concert has turned out to be only part of my wonderful experiences with fellow nutjobs over the years.

I was very disappointed to find out at 4 pm that somehow Ticketmaster had "OFFICIAL" tickets and selling them at 4 times the face value. Now no doubt someone in the management team has an MBA and thought this was a good idea, I doubt if buggerlugs knows the in and outs of the selling arrangements but that someone is a complete moron. When in the UK recently  there was mainstream tv news broadcasts about  Ed Sheenan stand agaisnt  touts. Advisors should be able to see pitfalls I would have told him do want this headline. Luckily i have seen 9 times since 1979 and met him  twice so have been rather lucky in the past. But just sack the moron.

24 phones calls to accessibility phone line and not a flicker. this was going to be my last can't see me doing a signing  or concert in the future.

Just spent £100 on my patio garden ( now in a ground floor flat had to give my house and garden due to health) and the bugger goes and annouces a tour!!!

Only got two roses now Deep Secret and All My Loving . there is a a strip of about 3 feet along the bath room and bedroom at teh front with god only knows what plants in it. was going to get someone to dig it up and put three roses in there plan is now put on hold.

After a emotional weekend in London seeing Macca, sod it in my family they all know him as GOD, meeting up with quite a few board members past and present. Just had an emotional evening watching Justin Hayward solo for the first time, and I will not see 35 ok 45 again. My oldest friend like cough cough 48 years, we used to play dollies together, ok action man, flew in from the Isle of Man to attend it with me. He couldn't make London due to family stuff, I hate having responsible men friends. I don't think he has heard any of the Moodies since I left ulster in 1979 nevermind Justin. He came out saying it was the best concert he has seen in a long time and trust he has seen a few. He promotes on a small scale on the Isle, mostly up and coming bands he has seen in the UK and Ireland on his business travels but also Kiki Dee, Beverley Craven etc. Fantastic support act did 4 songs, well no singing just guitar playing a Mike Dawes, got a standing ovation from a mostly middle aged crowd. Check him out on you tube. He supported Mr Hayward later along with a fine female keyboardist who provided backing vocals. Very much an acoustic feel to it kinda of set I have wanted to see from macca for years. was fantastic.

I left during lady Madonna and there was no traffic. 4 people in front of me left on the sunday before an hour was gone. one couple think it was too loud for them and people standing by their body language and the other the bloke wasn't well. I didn't mind meant I could see 3 young ladies dance and shake. Couple beside me were well into their pension years and stood most of the night right till the end.
