What's the cut-off?

We're all old boys here. Except the girls. And the young boys.

Ugly, but wrinkle-free and a lovely complexion.

Good skin-care regimen.

If your all upper circle or balcony whatever you call it I don't want stuff chucking at me thank you. I'm still having the therapy for being abused at that Miles Kane gig X(

The only people I met up with that night were Sally and.. Wait, no I think that was it... I was with my Jess at the time, so we kinda just did the whole thing amongst ourselves! God, I now feel reaally dreadful as I can't remember much of it at all?! (same as Brighton 2010 unfortunately)

PUT DOWN THE CIDER.

I distinctly remember seeing you there! I think you were quite drunk! I was with the now ex Mrs Tweety and I think Wild Corgi was there too.

I demand we all go dressed as Clangers , nothing could go wrong I tell you !

^ if you're doing that I'm definitely coming. Any excuse to dress like a clanger.

Wait a minute. Didnt Goldfrapp play Hammersmith in the Head First era. Giant arsehole on stage (part of the setting not a statement of any band members!!) I definitely stood for that one as was at the front and knob head camera Nazi nearly took my phone from me :-w

Surely you can not be refering to the giant inflated tin foil doughnut that accompanied the HF tour? It knew some moves for sure.

And ive never had anything thrown at me at a gig, despite it prob being fully justifiable. Well only alcohol. Which doesnt hurt unless it goes in me eyes.

:) Hello.

Me again, and just able to fit in here now my head is shrinking back to its normal size.

I shall be 48 in October and like a few sitting upstairs *checks printed ticket* Circle, Block 11 Row A Seat 6.

Wonder if we should get HJ or another bright web spark to generate an editable seating plan that we can add ourselves into (or HJ adds us into) so we know where to throw stuff on the night ?

I probably won't be taking my camera, I will deffo have it confiscated in there.

Unless I appeal to the powers that be to give me a photo pass ? I wonder how you go about that malarky ?

Edit: Are Clangers a bit too cool for us lot to dress as ? ;) And those are not proper Clanger costumes but the offspring of a mutant Clanger and Peppa Pig. If you dress as a Clanger, it' HAS to be a knitted costume and even Layla and my wife at full tilt (plus any other knitters) would be hard pressed to come up with enough costumes.

But fu*k yeah I would go as a Clanger, could get a bastard lens in that snout !

If I'm standing for more than 15 mins, my back starts to ache. That's slightly alleviated if I sway and bounce a little to the music. (Outright dancing by the over-45s is probably a jailable offence.)

Damn. That's me facing a 20 year stretch. Unless the judge gives clemency on account of Goldfrapp playing 'Shiny & Warm', 'Train' & 'Strict Machine' !

Clangers costumes? Great idea but we might end up even sweatier than at the Manchester gigs!

Love the clanger idea, could get rather clammy though.....think my sis would prefer to be a froglet if she had the choice. :)

thathurt

Dunno how to get a press pass but it can't be hard. Well for normal bands lol. I dont think my camera or lens is good enough for gig photography. Someone told me at college shoot with an 85 lens and set camera to aperture priority if unsure. Ive not tested that advice yet. Think the person who told me that is a Tory.

Howdy, Stranger!
