Douglas Adams, RIP. Well, finally, B&S are playing the Royal Albert Hall. As demanded on Sinister back in January 1998. You see, we're always ahead of the game on here. Latest news: if you want standing tickets for the Albert Hall, so that you can actually see something, you've got to phone them up direct - the website only has stalls and circle tickets available (as of 30 minutes ago). Birmingham tickets are also available online, but tickets for Scarborough still aren't available, and I can't get hold of Preston. This must be the most exciting thing to happen in Scarborough since the Cannon and Ball reunion tour of 1998. I notice that there aren't any gigs scheduled for the days before or after the Albert Hall show. What chance a second date being announced in the next few days? In the meantime, a picnic is needed on June 29th, at 4pm, in Kensington Gardens (just over the road from the Albert Hall). And another picnic on the beach in Scarborough. Oh yeah, and if anyone fancies offering me a floor in London for the night, I would be very grateful (and in return I might be able to offer a bedspace at my parents' house in Harrogate, halfway between Scaborough and Preston...) The Primrose Hill picnic the other week was G!R!A!T!E!, but everyone's already said pretty much everything already. The football score was 1-1 at halftime, when I came on as a substitute. We lost 6-2. I like to think it was a coincidence. And while we're talking about the beautiful game, an Arsenal fan was whinging earlier about losing the Cup Final to Liverpool. To which I say, it serves you right for what you did to the might Sheffield Wednesday 8 years ago, you bastards. In defence of Toploader, I would just like to say that I LIKE "DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT". Just a shame the rest of their stuff is crap, really. Denmark were robbed.
