This should be interesting. What are you offering for us to bump our kids and give you their tickets?

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 02 Mar 2008, 04:36

If required. Any sacrifice is fair game in a situation like this. I'm not agreeing to a sex trade, I'm not ruling it out either.

I,m sort of desperate, no, im totally desperate to be there. Has Ali got a ticket? Is he of the opinion that Neil Young is so passe?

I think you've blown any chance you might have had of getting your hands on our tickets (or anything else of ours for that matter!).

No, I'm not selling. You may have to bite the bullet (ha!) and go e bay. I don't know of anyone else with tickets, I'm afraid.

Totally agree ecm

Anyway, a man of your assets, Porty, is best off looking on ebay or Gumtree.

We're not selling our tickets (Did I mention they are in ROW A , close enough to let us count the hairs up old Shakey's nostrils ?) and I'm afraid don't have any spare; I gave one to a very good friend, who is a life long Neil Young fan, as a Christmas present and Homer already has several friends who are desperate that he leaves the wife and kid at home and takes them instead, so I'm afraid there's a bit of a queue if anyone gets struck down suddenly by a passing bus.

Good luck!

You'll just put this down to envy but I think Row A is way too close for comfort. Neil's a big, manky scarecrow of a man. You'll be spending the whole gig resisting the urge to go up and drag him offstage by the ear for a good wash and brush-up.
My front circle seats (3d row middle section) afford just the required distance from Wurzel to allow me to concentrate on the music rather than the disgraceful lack of grooming.

Do you not remember meeting Homer ecm?

OK, I'll admit that all my bragging is trying to cover up concerns about being so close to the speakers and the stage; I'm getting too old for really loud music and it might be a bit obvious that I'm a bit of a late convert to Mr Young. Well, not so much a covert as I've been worn down over the years, by constant subjection to Mr Young's unique sound, while captive, during very long car journeys.

Still, my friend and Homer will know all the words to all the songs and, no doubt, instantly recognise songs from the first chord of the intro. I'll just do the swaying along stuff.

Indeed, I do. He's quite gorgeous and more than reasonably dapper. No comparison to Stig of the Dump. He looked a bit sweaty on one occasion I saw him but that was 20 odd miles into a marathon so he can be forgiven for that!

Nonsense, you're never to old for a bit of temporary threshold shift.

Are you taking your knitting along for 14 minute plus numbers? I might take a book or a crossword or I could phone Porty and let him have a wee listen.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Just as well he rarely reads this forum. He wouldn't be able to get his head out the door if he saw that.

Mind you, he doesn't know your sense of humour the way I do

I did express some concern to him about the possible, long, indulgent guitar solos and he got quite snappy with me about my 'attitude'. I am expected to go along and worship at the feet (no matter how manky they may be) of the Blessed Mr Young and if I am not prepared to do so my ticket will be taken from me and given to a more deserving case i.e. one of his male pals. That's me told then

Where's this snow then? Eh!

Hope you remembered to put on your liberty bodice this morning. Is it proper snow or just pathetic slushy stuff?

Porty · Post by **Porty** » 03 Mar 2008, 16:12

Im so envious. I'm going to take a wee walk up there later on and see if I can get a ticket. Neil is the last on my "must see" list and the Playhouse is a brill venue.

Enjoy it ladies.

Poppy · Post by **Poppy** » 03 Mar 2008, 17:25

For a vile moment I thought this envy was related to ecm and her liberty bodice..........

Well, see what we woke up to this morning!!!

Did " Porty" get any too??

No, but I can see it in the distance!

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 06 Apr 2008, 13:09

Oooo! I'm jealous Arachnid. We've had a few wet flakes, but that's all

arachnid · Post by **arachnid** » 06 Apr 2008, 19:23

It's all gone again!!!

A couple of hours after I took those pics it had all disappeared!!

Typical british weather!!!! Doesn't stay the same for long!!!

Was snowing out in Loanhead in the early hours
Luckily it didn't lie as I had to take my mum to Bonnyrig Health Centre at 9am.
Then going to The Royal it was a white- out

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 06 Apr 2008, 22:13

9 a.m. on a Sunday morning? That sounds like an emergency Soupdragon. Hope your Mum is O.K

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 07 Apr 2008, 07:33

We were up in Huntly for Easter and had plenty of snow

It was quite appropriate really as it was our first trip up this year and we had loads of Christmas presents to open.

SoupDragon · Post by **SoupDragon** » 07 Apr 2008, 17:50

Aww he looks really cute. So you had a white "Christmas". Glad Mr TG back on his feet again.

Marya, it was a bit of emergency, my mum had abdominal pains, similar to gallstones (but she had her gall bladder out in 1991 ) and couldn't even keep water down.
She now in the Royal on a drip and oxygen, merrily spaced out on morphine.
Waiting on scans etc

You'd have liked the snow out at Dalkeith Tescos this morning sadly it turned to icy water by the time I came out the store

Maria · Post by **Maria** » 07 Apr 2008, 18:32

At least your Mum will be feeling more comfortable now SD. Bet she was glad to have you close at hand.Hope it all turns out to be something easily sorted.

teddygirl · Post by **teddygirl** » 07 Apr 2008, 21:15

Sorry to hear about your Mum, Soupy. Hope they get to the bottom of it soon and get her on the mend.
