why, would they want to go?

cos obviously you're too old to want to go to a boy band gig

I don't understand .. are you looking for approval?

do what you want

kids don't need big presents

but joking that your desire to a hackneyed group of ageing pop stars is more important than your children's desires is

well odd really

Illegallybrunette tis true, Mr Barlow said last week on radio one when they played the new song that they were going to announce tour dates then but werent quite ready and could they come in again to announce them, they are now on radio one this monday.

Laurie yes they would want to go and yes I am too old

Twiglett, of course a pop band arent as important as my dc and of course they will get a big present, I was having a laugh

Will start saving my coppers for when the tickets released.

Its usually the Friday after the announcement or the friday after that, although there is some confusion this time as to whether they will announce and not release tickets till new album is out.

I would say based on past experience and other artists the dates will probably be between april and june or something like that

Yes you are being really really unreasonable but if it was a Simply Red tour that would be totally different.

Simply Red?! Mind you, I have seen them live and they were very good.

OMG.
I didn't gop to teh last tour because I wasn't keen on teh new album (too grown up) but once teh tour had started I really regretted it.

My boys will eat bread and water for 3 months if it means I can go to the next one.

I'll make DH come with me too, I had to suffer a bob dylan concert years ago with him so its about time I took my revenge.

I know what you mean LTH - that's how I felt but then I got tickets after it had all died down adn then I got another ticket because a friend knows Jason Orange's brother and we got tickets wtih his name on!!

It was bloody brilliant and I was so lucky to go twice - you do NOT want to miss it!
