Methusaleh was young compared to those standards. :shock:



I listened to Ska when I was a teenager, that should give you a guide. :wink:

CC would also be a guide, although I've weathered a bit better. :D

Happy listening (who is it)I'm off to work for a few hours just sitting chilling (cos it's minus out there and probably no work) and listening to Century Fm
Go and see Night collar ... that will bring a smile to your face.


I believe it's a hoot and you reminded I was to try and get tickets so hopefully I'm not too late
For some reason the front row seats were all occupied by women..... it might have had something to do with one particular sketch that was focused on the driver picking up the groom to be... at the end of his stag night, reindeer antlers and a flashing red nose combined with a ball and chain.... Parking in St John's Precinct will only cost you two pounds as long as you produce your ticket stubs....

So it didn't have anything to do with the food service or is that in another area. I know you can eat while you watch, :D. I won't be needing parking thanks I'll either get a train or a taxi it's only about 3 miles away, thanks for the info I'm going try for next week there seems to be tickets just need to check how many I need
