glw away until Sunday, so some important decisions must be made.

I do love the way you appear to have gone from your wild 20s to stolid middle age with no apparent intervening period of adjustment.

I know it surprises me too. 5 years ago I was just about to book my first Las Vegas trip wearing ill fitting strange design t-shirts.

Sleep, the littlest child is at Grandmas tonight, so I intend to have an entire night's undisturbed sleep.......a few beers first though

For undisturbed sleep I am sure it is recommended to stay clear of alcohol.

[Sir C]

Nope, same chap, Ian Brown. Can not sing live for toffee, as such.

Drink only, no drugs, so I would notice. In the past I have been oblivious and been carried away in the euphoria.

In fact I am getting too old for outdoor gigs in general, and they are ****. **** them. Think I will stay in.

That's the spirit sw! :curmudgeon:

[Sir C]

Still, it was nice of Sir C to offer, I thought.

Yes, I thought that he might have been short of his oats recently, yet find my advances spurned

[Burney]

Yes. Rather brusquely as well, I thought. No need for him to be rude imo.

[SWv2]

What if it rains?

[Sir C]

What if it rains?

Oh I quite agree. Indeed, some 3 years ago I even sacked off a Bruce gig due to pissing rain. I was booked to go again the following day, but still.

That seems an awfully cavalier way to treat New Jersey's answer to Bryan Adams imo. I thought you were more hardcore than that?

I've always thought that about outdoor gigs. The sound, for a start, is better inside with a bit of natural reverb. Then there's the weather, the **** beer, the toilets, the crowds... ugh.

I was in the RDS for Neil Young a few years ago and it was ****ing grim, then last year in Kilmainham for Weller I had people, couples if you will, just “chatting” and having fun while the great man played, they were doing selfies and all.

It was a fine summer evening but still think I should have killed them.
