JUST TO SAY – IT WAS CLASS!!

45 mins, then a 20 min break, then 1 hour 10 mins – 2 encores – amazing! 7 new songs (I particularly liked Faded); a great proportion of the classics (We Close Our Eyes; King of Wishful Thinking; Call Me; S.O.S; Goodbye Girl etc, etc.) and two covers – The Tracks of My Tears (which they’d previously released) and U2’s Vertigo – that was amazing, although I don’t think the theatre agreed as we could see sawdust falling from the ceiling due to the bass amps!

21st Anniversary tour – just as hot as they were back in 1985, even though I’ve seen them many times – I had an incredible evening. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Peter Cox can wiggle to the music in front of me anytime – and all the people I went with certainly agree! 😀

Post Office RANT!

I receive a note to say that they couldn’t deliver something ‘recorded delivery’ as it needs a signature. As it happens, I know this particular item does require a signature so I’m impressed with their protocol. I wait the requisite 48 hours and go and collect it this morning…

..they can’t find it.

AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

I thought ‘recorded’ meant that the item was….’recorded’?

Or am I just being logical again?

…chuckleheads. 🙁

Just found this today – Muppet Wiki – I never realised there was one – cool!! From this I have discovered that it’s Cookie-Monster’s birthday this week – he is 40 years old!

This is the proto-Cookie Monster, from a 1967 IBM training film –
