Do you know that Sting receives £1,000 a day, yes £1,000 for having 'every breath you take' being played in royalties...

I bloody hated that record first time round....

I'm going on my 42nd birthday so see them at the Pepsi Center here in Denver Colorado. I screamed, sorry, when I saw when they were coming.

Oh dearie me

Anyone know where we can still get tickets that don;t cost £125??

Didn't manage to get through yesterday and my sis is going nuts with me... The Police were our best concert of the '80's...

Don;t mind travelling... or paying a bit over the odds, but can't afford the hundreds that they;'re asking online.

I agree that he is an egomaniac, have never been a fan of his particularly, yet I would love to hear all those old songs live.

They got me thru some pretty crappy times, you know when you used to spend hours playing lp's in your bedroom! And annoying your parents, with the same songs over and over.

I paid good money to hear Sting being interviewed once (and v sycophantic it was too).
Sorry, but he was such and arrogant ar*se!

When I saw them last (1982 or 83 I think) I was sadly disappointed - no 'show', no 'chat', nothing you couldn't get from listening to a record

The full tour dates are on the BBC website - the tickets for the UK tour go on sale on Friday.

Piss - I am on holiday in Cornwall the first week in September - so will try to go to Manchester in October. What am I saying "will try" I will definitely go to Manchester - just need to get my mum to look after the dd's and take them to Nursery!

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face, , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin, , type [grin] or :o
For a wink, , type [wink]

For an angry face, , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face, , type [blush]
For a sad face, , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face, , type [envy]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
