I'm going to this, one of my group has had to drop out - so I have one day ticket for Friday Aug 27th (Reading) for sale... please PM me if you are interested!

hope you enjoyed the show overall despite that.. I got pretty carried away when they started - four years since I last saw them felt like a long time! dj really impressed me also. Are you going to any more shows this year?

well it was a last minute trip for me and I couldnt get a standing ticket online, got a seat that ended up being front row of the first seated section and slightly to the left of centre stage - amazing seat really!  Unlike most GnR shows I had the perfect view! i liked the venue, wasnt too big. Esp as Reading will be a festival show, I really wanted to see them at a smaller indoor place if possible. And thank you to the volcanoe for behaving itself last week...

Am going to Oslo, really looking forward to this! It's only next week!

well... its a hot potato here. we can all see what Greece is going through and its unravelling more and more across Europe.  Other countries are as close eg Spain, Portugal and indeed UK. We are in bad way socially and economically and I dont believe being so entrenched in the Eu has helped .  I believe the trade movement between the Euro countries should absolutely continue and be strengthened, but as for the actual EU - I think we need to seriously re-evaluate what we put in and what we get out.  There are benefits of course, but Britain has punched way above its weight as a country for too long and lamentable decisions by Labour like not staggering the amount of Eu workers that could come and work here on an annual basis (example being new member countries eg poland), has fucked us quicker than most.  I welcome anyone and everyone to this country that wants to be here or have had to escape here from their own countries wars - but the basic fucking logic is that Britain is fucking tiny land mass wise - esp compared to US (!) - but even compared to France, Germany etc - so why on earth wouldnt you want to ensure that as much preparation as possible was done before literally hundreds of thousands of people come here to re-settle?  What we have now is severe lack of affordable housing, massive strain on public services, huge welfare dependant society,  community tension, a lot of our court rulings are overturned by Brussles (deporting criminals etc - against their Human rights dont cha know.)  We were signed into the Lisbon Treaty without a referendum (which was promised in an election manifesto - ah ha ha, and look what happened when the Irish got one, and then another til they voted "correctly...") and we have been forced into becoming part of a super state that has and will continue to drastcally alter what Britain is and how its run.    Remains to be seen what our new government will do - but I'm personally glad Labour are out.
