The Other Shoe Has Dropped!

**Thu Sep 29, 2005 9:49 pm**

Last week, only three of the four tickets ordered arrived - I was missing one of the Brixton ones. Needless to say, I haven't been too happy about it, especially since Ticketmaster didn't seem inclined to help. But in today's mail - hurrah! The missing ticket made its way here! It's now joined the others, safe and sound, awaiting December's journey. Whew! Now all I need is a flight booked, and a hotel room... :lol:

I'll probably won't even book a hotel for Dublin. Just go the 23rd, get pissed, go to the gig, get even more pissed after and take some Nitelink to the airport again

Ahhh. A man of culture.

Glad to hear you got the tickets. I'd probably stay up in a pub all night and then go to sleep in one of those shady ones with a bedroom.

Sheva, which shows will you see?

Anybody else going to Glasgow?

Carmen, would you please let us know again the name of the pub where we can find you?

This year I will start drinking later than 3:30, and will stick to Guinness. Still not sure what food to eat in Glasgow. Suggestions welcome.

I'll be in Glasgow too.

No idea yet where to stay, what to do, etc, so I could use a few suggestions as well!

Surely Guinness is a good candidate for what to eat?

yippeee!! Sandwiches I can handle. Deep fried mars bars maybe for another trip. McGinns it is! texasmick and I look forward to meeting everyone there!

Oh, and, DzM, I agree Guinness is food -- that was the attitude I had last year, and missed most the show because I danced the entire time. Hope to see more this time.

Sandwiches?? Where's the sense of adventure? If you're going to Scotland, sample the regional cuisine.

Get a belly full of booze, and go out for a big steaming platter of Haggis!!
mmmm.....mmmm

Speaking about haggis, when I went to visit my penpal in Scotland about six years ago, one day I ended up having a dinner with her and her family. I was served something innocuous, but the suspiciously-looking meal on her father’s plate got my attention. I discreetly asked her: „What is it your father is eating?“ „Haggis,“ she replied. Having only a vague awarness of the Scottish traditional dish, I prodded: „What is it made from?“ She cast a stony glance at me and in a voice dropping icicles said: „Better don’t ask.“ And that was the end of the talk. What a pride in specific national tastes...
