We are thinking the worst tbh. But it could be a case of his computer buggering up. A point worth making - it may seem very odd and all that but a perfectly fine explanation is just as likely as a bad one, possibly even more so. Could be on holib…

what is the point of a presale then? ffs. Damn you memory for being so bad. Being an indecisive nation, im sure theyll all be up for sale on here or twitter soon anyway. I think the point was that we were all meant to dive on and grab our tickets…

Done. I've made no assumptions in the mail other than checking in with him. Let's see what comes back and hope things are fine. I'll obviously updates folks as/when I hear back and he's ok with me doing so.

Do you think he'd mind if used my admin rights to find his sign-up email address and check if he's ok on behalf of us lot?

Yeah, a shame we won't be seeing you Carpy, down on the south coast, but Gateshead should be fanbloodytastic too. Of course, it would have been great. It's just nice to see them on my doorstep - makes it even more special as I walk pas…

Carpy that makes perfect sense with the noir theme..... 7T was released in February but I really enjoyed playing it in summer! It just feels more dark evenings, wrapped up under a cold, clear sky with visible breath.

@Carpy I'm all for local reunions but AWWWWWWWWWWWWW :( :) Thanks for the thought. MIF was my (two) uber-reunion(s) and I doubt we'll EVER beat those! {drifts away in an MIF haze again} @-) @-) @-) @-)

Got Row J for Gateshead which is just a nice number back from the stage so you're close but get a good view all the same. I was a lot further back last time there and that was still excellent so this is more than good enough for me.

Are you not going to Brighton Carpy? With money and leave etc it makes far more sense for me to go to the venue I can literally see out of my office window. Plus I'll get to see a few local Frappers (ie hopefully APL, Duncan, bibs etc) who may…

It's weird but I'm actually finding the album better now in the winter months than it was when launched so the box set fits an increase in my listening rather than the opposite as has happened for some of you. Just lucky personal timing I …

That's good it's coming out the 12th and not the 16th but why can they send an e-mail to those who specifically ask, like yourself, and not send one out to everyone????? That fits with my post a page or so back - they get the stock to the…

Gateshead ticket booked - completely forgot with being busy at work until half ten so had a MAD TICKET BUYING FRENZY until snared. Feel much better now. Far, far better. The TOU tour in one of the best acoustic venues in the country? Bring it bloom…

The best gig of the tour will be in Gateshead and all you lot will be darrrn sarrf or elsewhere. You mark my words - you've been warned! :D

Have they sent an email out yet? I called them to find out - seemed an easier way than waiting for them to tell us! :D

I wonder if Alison will say "Thank you Scotland!!" after the Gateshead show like last time? :D :D

Latest update as of, er, just now:- Brace yourselves. Sigh. The boxes are expected to be with the courier firm on Friday this week (Dec 13th) and as they don't deliver at the weekend most people should see them turn up between Monday 16th and…

Seventh Tardis - The Doctor Who thread
The earliest Who adventure I remember is The Web Planet. Still the best, too. Broadcast in 1965, I'm told. But I'm not that old, of course. Just time travelling. I appeared in '67 and I think it was a Pertwee one I saw first. That&…

Seventh Tardis - The Doctor Who thread
^ I'm really looking forward to that too! A super bit of nostalgia, I'd imagine. (Though no - I'm not old enough to have witnessed it first hand!) I watched the Brian Cox 'Science of Doctor Who' show last night. It came in …

ADMIN PLEASE NOTE: Forum issues
I'd second this as it just gets filled with SpamTags™ every few days anyway so becomes a pointless ever changing advert at the right of the page........

Trailer for An Adventure In Space and Time Is it wrong that I'm looking forward to that almost as much as the 50th special?

The way this thread went from genuine concern to "St Trinians 6: School For Daring Deers" and back again makes me think we'll get by just fine... >:)

Happy Birthday Carpathian!
Being the miserable old git I am I generally can't be doing with web board birthday greetings (I mean when do you draw the line!!). But for some people I make an exception. Happy Birthday Captain Carpathian :-) Appreciated even more, in th…

Just means they have the option of selling it separate later on, potentially adding new films or maybe a live show or in an HD format. Even if nothings added having the option of selling it standalone is the more financially sensible move. A very g…

Happy Birthday Carpathian!
Thanks all - a bit behind on seeing this as yesterday went by in a blur of work, cake, sugar and more cake. Got to the end of the day and had the mother of all sugar crashes. I guess that's allowed one day a year! Yes, I'm a year older b…

They've been told they can rehearse in the the breakfast room of the hotel where they're staying!!! Now THAT would be an exclusive thing to see @-)

What are you listening to now?
Have ripped my lovely shiiiiiiiny CD copy but still waiting to give it a full spin in one go - so much stuff backed-up in Carpy's Queue Of Noises that it's unreal this year. I want to give things respect so tend to not plough through somet…

Why do people go to (Goldfrapp) gigs ?
Before that I never saw anyone, really, taking pics, shouting, talking, throughout a set. Them all of a sudden it seemed, people do it through EVERYTHING I go to. Photos, talking, shouting.. It's fucking disrespectful for the artists, &…

I'll be in the cinema watching Day Of The Doctor in 3D on a lovely giant screen. Get in.

Latest Purchase....
Just went and bought the re-release deluxe version of Bowie's "Next Day" album. Really, really well thought out (as ever) - the box is plain front and back but with bastardised versions of the previous art around the box edges with m…
