Over 100 golden tickets? That's great news. I was fearing super sparse crowds for some of the shows like Interior Design. 100 people can make a good amount of noise and generate lots of enthusiasm. |

Consider the band - they're all in the same place too and doing soundchecks/rehearsals in the afternoons before the shows. No sign of them flagging and they probably have a few years on most of you!

I'm gonna kick your ass, when I stop coughing up a lung.
They are in the same space but not getting sweaty next to the infected or sharing buses/tubes and so on, they probably not sitting outside for hours before the venue opens.
I don't know about the rest of the infected but it has been nice to swap an occasional hello with the band members as they've wandered about - now I'll be wheezing at everyone to keep away!
I'm planning on spending most of Saturday in bed. |

probably the same as me. Someone was complaining to me that they had to travel one whole hour to get home.  |

Got two tickets for tonight - but due to work 'problems' (i.e. I can't get away) I am still stuck in Wolverhampton and won't be able to get away in time to get to London.
I'd suffer a cold or aching limbs to be able to get down there instead of sitting with my tickets watching the PC..... bugger
To all those who do make it - have fun (I've managed 5 shows so far and will get a few more in before the end). |

I know you all can't because of the space available, but try leaping around like Russell every night!
Bet all you girls have sore legs due to wearing "heels", and I bet all you guys have sore backs! And none of you feel able to get up for work in the mornings!
Disclaimer... I did 3 shows and was almost hospitalised! But then, I'm as old as Ron. Oh... That wont work as an excuse will it?
Let's just big it up for the stamina of R&R!

Remarkably, after 11 gigs, my back seems to be holding out!
Also, forgot to mention earlier that Plagiarism is now completely sold out! Woo! Hoo! That's going to be amazing! |

Could it have been something at the pub that put you in that condition?!
Just joking, powpowpow. Hope you'll make it to tonite's gig and all the rest as well. |

Drat and double drat. Missed one.
Felt really ill (not The Cold but some sort of stomach thingy) and super-tired yesterday so had to make the painful decision to sacrifice 'Rabbits' for the greater good (ie not making myself worse).
I was *so* hoping to do the whole lot; very annoying.
Hope the more hardy had a good gig, see y'all on Tuesday.

nooo
this stomachy thing going round is a bit terrifying. i'm alright with the cold and cough, but i don't want anything else. there should be a quarantine section within the venue for the ill among us to sit and watch the show. maybe put a few sickbeds and things in there too..
a shame you had to miss one alison, get well for tuesday! _________________ medic! medic! medic! medic! |

Hope you're feeling better by the next show. I had a strange "throat" thing going on last week, but now that I've got back to taking my vitamins, and I'm getting used to the air-con in the flat and standing/sitting in line for hours each day I'm feeling fine. Hope all you sick folks are 100% better for MYCDT  _________________ http://www.facebook.com/#!/profile.php?id=678905447 |

I'm also going to start wearing earplugs for the remaining nights. On top of the cold, my hearing has been really sensitive - even though it's not LOUD, there's still enough noise for my ears to be ringing just that extra bit longer each night, which is not cool. |
