RE: Mighty Easter weekender, with The Cure

Shame you didn't like N1LDA. I liked it - nice and simple, nice and upbeat and just what I needed after a long Easter Sunday eating and drinking with the in-laws. I thought it was well cast with beautiful cinematography too. I enjoyed it and am loo...

Less than a week to go until our gig of the year The Cure at Wembley on Thursday. Got an automated call from Ticketmaster telling me the stage times; 65daysofstatic are on at 7pm, and the Cure at 8pm, so that gives them plenty of time to play the thr...

Cure tickets

Cure tickets are on their way, though of course I didn't buy them from ebay at a vastly inflated markup, I got them from Ticketbastard at a vastly inflated markup instead. Thirty five pounds each for the ticket, then another fiver each in ticketbasta...

The Cure playing Wembley

RE: Thankyou for struggling on with that

If you're troubled with spam comments then you could try something simple that beats the bots, I've seen a lot of people putting in text boxes that simply say "Type orange into this field" and that cures the large proportion of their problems.

Chops!

Started the weekend with a super rarity, drinks in Farringdon. Been trying to meet up with a couple of the Fareham boys who are commuters too and work in the area, and this week no-one had a good excuse not to do it, so it's all on - To The Eagle. It...

OK I think it's cool now

It wasn't really that exciting, our office was burgled. When I got in the place was crawling with cops, and then soon after the full CSI team arrived dusting for fingerprints and things. Seems we were done over while there were still people in the bu...
