    I think I MAY just have orientated myself with whereabouts you are......if I say that the B&B I used to stay at for the Fringe was St Johns Road.....?! :D LOVELY to see you on Saturday even if we did have to apologise for the shocking display our team provided. Couldn't believe it when we got to Glasgow yesterday - we were literally JUST at the turnstiles and they called it off, so at least we didn't have the hassle of having paid to go in. For food on Saturday night by the way we ended up getting takeaway pizza's from a place in Dunbar - they were lush and I would highly recommend it! :T

    Now just thinking "Hurry up weekend"! :j:beer::T (That about sums up Cardiff doesn't it...actually, no, hang on:

    :j:hello::beer::hello::beer::j:hello::beer::T:T:T :beer: pizza.gifHShungry.gif :beer:

    There we go! :cool: Why is there not an "eating Pizza" Smiley?! *edited thanks to F_F* :D

    Hi everyone
    What a busy week!
    Tuesday I met a friend for lunch at the new Wetherspoons pub/hotel that has opened along the road from where I stay, it was lovely and the food was good too!
    Yesterday I went and did my Grannie's shopping and went to see Take That :D and :( all at 1 time. 1st my friend decided to take an alternative route she thought would be quicker to get to my house, bad decision, then said we would meet at the Park and Ride however we both went to different ones. By this time we were over 1.5 hours late in leaving for the gig. We missed The Pet Shop Boys :( and to make matters worse our allocated seats were not available - they had moved the disabled access platform which had restricted the view and had not allocated any other seats to us. We got offered worse seats with no view at all or the pitch ( It was p*ssing down with rain all night) we did find 2 seats and watched the show from there.
    This morning I sent an email of complaint and a really nice lady called me back, she called back after I went out at 430pm to go deliver something and when she called me again at 7pm It was to offer me 2 more tickets for tonight or tomorrow night's shows! :eek: too late for tonight and I am off to Cardiff in the morning. I wasn't expecting to get more tickets, I just wished I had been home when she called at 430 and I could have gone and seen the show again!!
    Tomorrow I am off to Cardiff for the British Speedway GP, so excited, my favourite weekend of the year for speedway! :j:j
