Thanks! When you book with P&O there is the option to tick a box to take a free upgrade if available - however I haven’t ticked it. The problem is you lose control over where on the ship you are located - and that matters a lot. Cabins towards the rear or front are more likely to feel uncomfortable in rough seas, or you could end up on a different deck near something noisy. As it’s our first time and we’re not sure how we’ll do on a boat, we’ve picked a safe option with a balcony on a quiet deck near the middle of the ship.

Probably a very wise decision. You clearly know more about it than me.Hopefully you will give us a report of how you got on.I appreciate it is a fair while away yet though.

I will be keeping an eye on this Chip as I am in a fairly similar boat to you as it were.Never done a cruise but do fancy the fjords one.Only thing I can add is friends of mine who gave cruised before always go on some kind of auction where you can bid to upgrade your cabin.Last time they went they bid a tenner and got upgraded to an outside cabin.Hope you have a great time.

Put the make of your trainers in then.

Pretty much any game before they started leaving the lights on in the stands.

A Google search for Lando Norris Qatar returned literally zero hits apart from links to last year's race. Are you the only person who's aware of this one off race? 

I hope somebody has told Lando.

Could do with a couple more minutes I reckon 

Perhaps they should have baked their new stand.That pasty looks more sturdy than that other effort.

Is that pasty Championship ready?

Happy days they were.

I've still got a photo taken there of 3 generations of my family on a shelf in my office. Only 2 of us still alive FFS. 

Bloody young uns of today don't know they born.

 

Shows how old I am. I keep repeating myself!

There Is Nothin’ Like A Dame - Rodgers and Hammerstein 

Sir Duke-Stevie Wonder.Two for the price of one there.

Would love to see what lineup they could have got for an indie/rock gig.Would have been much more my kind of thing. Wonder what the ticket sales would have been for that?

Sounds as if you are giving yourself a hand now and again. 

I thought the song was just,

Jamal 

Jamal

Jamal Campbell Rice and peas.

That's the one I remember. 

Thought this was going to be a thread about getting married or having kids.

Was at the same run of gigs at the Etihad, and you're quite right, the build up was amazing. Felt like before a football match, crammed in belting out a bit of Oasis and the like.

I assume Public Enemy supporting had something to do with Ian Brown being a big fan. Have to say the new 2nd John Squire tune with LG is a belter.

Never knew IB was a fan so that would certainly explain it.I think the stand out for me was Waterfall.Not my favourite SR song but with the crowd behind it it was just phenomenal. Whenever I hear it now it just takes me straight back there.

Really, the Roses are probably the most disappointing live act I've ever seen (at The Feile in Cork, early 90's).  Funnily enough Massive Attack played that festival as well & were brilliant (I think, I'd had a lot of Guiness by then).

They were really good mate,but to be fair I think a lot of it was that the crowd were so massively into it they couldn't really go wrong.

That would be worth seeing! 

It was incredible mate.Best gig I have ever been to by an absolute mile.The build up during the day in the Manchester pubs was incredible. It felt like the Stone Roses fans had taken over the entire city.I would love to getba dvd of the gig but have never been able to find one.

In all fairness I agree he’s very error prone. 
But I don’t think being born is a mistake we can lay on him 

We are Bristol City fans.We can blame anyone for anything.To be fair,I think that us all football fans!

Until they announce the remaining acts, they ain't selling many more tickets. What's announced so far is a bit underwhelming. Needs the next tranche of acts to be something a bit different and more relevant. 

 

I can't really see them deviating from the kinds of acts already announced to be honest. It would seem a strange fit if they started announcing rock/indie or whatever bands on the same bill.Having said that,I saw The Stone Roses in Manchester and they had Public Enemy as support.A very strange choice to me,but the crowd seemed to enjoy them,including me,and they certainly aren't the kind of thing I would usually go for.Anyone know when the next announcement is due?
