Pah!

I'm going to see Rock gods, Bon Jovi for the umpteenth time this summer.

More exciting than seeing the boys is the thrill of seeing the first concert at the NEW Wembley stadium. I saw the last gig there, by Bon Jovi also, and when we booked up for the first one June 11th then I was so happy....

... then an email hits Big Dipper Central,
"be the first to witness history" it said,
"see Bon Jovi at the first ever Wembley gig".
That's me I thought
"New date added" it said
"Saturday 10th June"..
cough. Excuse me!!!

They have only gone and added a date before the one I paid £75 for.
What's worse is that leaving Wembley on a Sunday night will be so much hassle for the next day at work and school for the kids. Saturday would have been so much better.

The die-hard fans booked tickets straight away and are rewarded with the second(!) gig at the new Wembley...

On a brighter note, Bon Jovi survived a plane drama last week... at least there will be a gig to see, that's if the builders get the work done in time.

Whale meat again.


What a lot of fuss we had over here regarding the whale who swam up the Thames. She was obviously distressed and ill and didn't benefit from the 'help' that the rescuers gave her.

The reporters on Friday clambering around in boats and ,without any sense of irony at all, claiming the whale was 'distressed by the attention' did nothing to ease the poor things discomfort.

All in all, I think we made a 'pigs ear' of the whole episode.

Worrying

I heard that 80% of road accidents are within 10 miles of where you live..........

I'm thinking of moving.

If Music be the Food of Love....

Hello, bloggers.

I'm back in England and back to work. I am refreshed from the Christmas break in Texas. There was great 70 to 80 degree weather when we left and cc-cold snowy weather when I got home.







Well done to Vince Young and the Longhorns in last nights Rose Bowl. He has awesome potential. Let's hope he ends up at the Cowboys.
