Just watched them on the wifi at my Gainesville motel. Monty's was special.

Great result, 48 more points should see us safe.

Oh my wordy, Cardiff and Leeds just blew me away. I've seen some amazing Bruce gigs over the last few years but they're both up there. I was half expecting a full-album Born in the USA in Leeds (that'll teach me for believing rumours I read on the internets) so was great to hear No Surrender early on! Leeds Council have agreed to rescind the parking tickets - the Council leader said it was a case of a parking warden being a bit over-zealous. Springsteen & I was mostly great - we christened the reluctant husband "Karl Pilkington". I liked the Danish guy too although apparently he has a dodgy memory re some of the songs he heard!

Just got back from Belfast - THAT's more like it! A huge improvement from the show I saw in Paris (which was as close to a phoned-in performance as I've seen Bruce do). Another pre-show set which was nice too. Hearing rumours of The River in full at one of the Kilkenny gigs... there must be some reason he's practised Jackson Cage, Price You Pay, Fade Away etc recently! Next up Cardiff for me.

Nowt wrong with a pink work shirt, I've got a couple myself! Up until the 1940s, pink was the traditional male colour for infants and blue the female colour. Re the kit, I don't think its too bad but won't be buying it.

Makes sense to practice various systems, both with and without Jose. Didn't LJ say he'd have a plan A, B, C, D etc, not just PD-style plan A?

Nor I. I can't remember the exact definition but a charity has to benefit the public, not a company or individual. As PlayerShare exists to benefit OAFC, there's no way it could be a charity.

Royle also gave Dave Penney his seal of approval so whatever he said, take with a pinch of salt!

That Rome gig. WOW. Curse me for taking the easy options this year.

Don't get an i(ncontinence)pad!

Unfortunately I'm only going to Belfast out of all the Irish ones. Knowing my luck it'll be another BITUSA show! Just compare the album shows with the recent German album-less ones, no comparison in my opinion. Who'd have thought Germany would have been the rockin' place to be?!

Tell me about it! I didn't bother with that or Gijon and opted for the more "convenient" ones.

Got to say, I thought Paris was one of the worst Bruce gigs I've seen. Still a great gig by any other artist's standards and a lot of fun, but it just seemed like it was phoned-in a bit. The mini acoustic set early on made the trip worthwhile though. I hope the BITUSA rumours about Leeds aren't true. It was nice seeing it once but I prefer the spontaneity of not knowing what's coming next.

Its not even a proper apostrophe, its a grave or grave accent I believe (next to the number 1 on the keyboard).

I'd forgotten how tiny LJ is!

I saw on the BP concert thread you were pretty close O4U! What time did you arrive? We turned up at around 0930h and settled for the back of the "pit", opting to go and get some food and dry out once we got our wristbands. Can't believe how many had turned up early. I thought the first third of the show was very, very good. Darkness was nice to hear in its entirety but the lack of spontaneity made it less enjoyable than I would have imagined. Off to Glasgow after work tomorrow for round 2!

The Boss! When stood on the Wembley pitch last night I couldn't help but think that I'd have enjoyed it so much more at BP. He's playing other league 1 grounds (Ricoh) and amateur Scottish grounds (Hampden) so why not?!

Do we have a right to return our ST for a refund? Has anybody successfully done this?

I'll put up with the rain if the leg room's good!

No, but the point is you got lucky/the club got it wrong 4 years ago.

I thought it was 'Gurd Muller'?

You don't really think political parties make decisions based on the greater good do you? You'll be put in an asylum for even suggesting such a radical notion!

I've not decided. I don't want to commit to getting Baxter on the back until I know he's stopping!

They spent £2 on covering up the score board and the remaining £8 on half painting the Chaddy roof!
