Just ONE more day of this to go. Did the treadmill this morning, to fit better around school and breakfast and so on. As it turns out Clare took T2 to school so there would have been more time, but I would have been done with my treadmill 5km in time to take him anyway. Not a fast one, slow and steady wins the race.
We have the day off today, we're going to the O2 Arena on a coach with the school. We are going at 11am, (because we're getting the school coach, because of the rail strike) and the doors don't open until 7pm, so some hanging around. We'll take a walk down into proper Greenwich. We were hoping to go to the Prince Of Greenwich for lunch but it doesn't open until 4pm so can't fit it in in comfort. We'll find something.
Still dryanuary, for me at least.
Before I go trying to sort out some old affiliate links. I'm providing links to people that I might make some money from and a) it never did b) it certainly won't now. I had been trying to fix these links by hand, I should automated. Here are some examples from history:
- Stone Roses Tickets1
- UPDATE UPDATE Tickets here2, around 60 quid a go currently.
- This is hot, even get me in2 don't have it listed yet, but nme says (and the got it from the sun) that the gigs are on the 3rd and 4th of June 2009, and will be the only European dates as part of her 2009 world tour.
- Not Folkestone, not even that local, but a fairly easy journey from Folkestone to the O2 Arena, one we're making, I'd hate for you to miss out too. It's The Cure, and they're headlining the NME poll winners party2 type thing. Officially sold out, but you can still get tickets here2 at not a bad price at all, standing around the 53 quid2 mark, seating in all areas cheaper. Similar deals on ebay too.
- Standing ticket here3, for 53.90. Prices are rising, I'd get in quick2 if you want to go!
- Get tickets here2 (as it's sold out) for Stephen Merchant, Simon Munnery, Tom Basden, Tim Key, Milton Jones and the previously aforementioned MYSTERY GUEST HEADLINER. Sounds like a good lineup whoever it is.
- Still cheap standing tickets here2, you'd not get them in the post in time though now. The Killers are there tonight, getmein have taken tickets off sale now, though they were on offer for four times the price of The Cure tickets. Enjoy if you're going!
- Sounds like the 6th and 7th are already sold out, they all sprung up pretty quickly on getmein2 so I guess it's all touts and so on that got in so quickly.
- What about when The Smiths reunite, I hear you ask? What if they don't do the decent thing of a residency at Brixton Academy, and only play the millennium dome, and we can only get sat down seats? I guess I would pay a bit over the odds through getmein.com2 in that case. Probably should have just dawdled and done that this time, prices did not go crazy in the end, we were just very unlucky.
So if all goes well those are no longer links, and it means the old pages they came from will no longer be links.
5k: Five km, just over three miles to you.
dryanuary: Not drinking for the month of January.
