Thread | Theatre ticket booking advice pleeeease
at 17:09 8 Jan 2025
OK luvvies, I'm not much of a theatre-goer myself, but it's the girlfriend birthday next month and I want to book tickets for the Tina Turner musical in London.
I've checked out a couple of websites and the prices all seem similar (and by that I mean eye-wateringly expensive), but anyone got any suggestions for good sites that maybe even do discounted tickets?
I'm also booking tickets for Abba Voyage (even more eye-wateringly expensive), but looks like going direct to their own ticket-booking site is the best bet, unless anyone knows different?
PS, this is all top-secret, so no telling anyone, eh!  |

Thread | Christmas songs royalties

Easy money, eh? Write a hit Christmas song, and 50 years later, you're still living off the royalties when it's played to death during December.
It's always seemed an odd system to me, the fact that these payments are made at all - just write the song, sell the records and earn the money from that, or other promotions/advertising when it's used. Don't see why a royalties system is needed.
As a small business, I am forced to pay for a PRS license every year for the songs/ads/jingles that guests 'might' hear when watching TV at my place, so yes, that's probably what irks me.

Thread | Borrowing a relatives season ticket for the game tomorrow
at 14:05 1 Nov 2024
Daft question probably, but the club don't need to be told, do they?
I know they've tightened up on the re-sale of tickets, but STs can just be lent/borrowed as long as it's still the same type, ie adult for adult?

Thread | Going to London for the weekend
at 15:53 24 Oct 2024
Twickenham, as it happens - which is not too far from Brentford, apparently.
Girlfriend asked a few weeks ago for a good weekend to visit her sister down that way, hadn't really looked at the fixtures, so suggested this weekend, hehe.
Now, to somehow get a ticket for Saturday and disappear for a few hours!
Similar co-incidences like this have happened to me before, as it happens......
many, many, many years ago, working for T&C in Clacton, and they sent me to Bristol to do some work in the branches there...the same week Ipswich were playing Bristol Rovers (I think!) in some cup game, so managed to get to that.
Then not quite so far back, but still many, many years ago, spent the weekend in Sheffield visiting friends, and incredibly, we were playing United, so popped along to Bramell Lane. 1-1 I think it was.
Pure luck on each occassions.....honest! |

I just knew he would score. So much space for him to run into, and a great, composed finish across Martinez. Fantastic. |

Thread | Audio commentary
at 15:06 14 Aug 2024
I may be missing something here, but is the audio commentary still available this coming season?
I was subscribed to TownTV, but cancelled it in May (cheapskate that I am!), but can't seem to login to re-subscribe, or even create a new account.
I know there are a few on here that do/did use it, anyone else having problems, or have I just missed the obvious, "No TownTV live matches or audio commentary, because we are PL"? |

Thread | Smart meters and the responsibility of electricity companies
at 16:46 3 Aug 2024
I know, exciting thread, eh!
Just wondering if anyone knows about these things. To cut a very long story short, I have (i think) a first generation electricity smart meter.
I had solar panels installed last year, but it seems that that meter is not capable of recording exported electricity - ie what the panels generate.
There is an additional meter next to that meter which does show how much I am exporting - it matches up with what I see on the app given to me by the solar installers.
However, British Gas Lite (my business electricity and gas supplier) will not accept that reading, and they refuse to update my meter to a newer, 2nd generation smart meter (which would record exported electricity), because as far as they are concerned, the meter is working fine!
I'm just going round and round in circles with BG/BG Lite, all they suggest is that I go with another 'supplier' for exporting - but most companies want you to be a customer (buyer of electricity) before they will pay you a decent amount for what you supply to the grid.
I have told BG Lite that I will go to Ofgem, but I'm not even sure they would be interested. I know there is a cost to installing/replacing a meter, but as I understand it, they are the ones responsible for doing it.
Anyone got any views, had similar issues? |

If England draw 1-1 tonight, and Denmark win 1-0?
Both will have 5 points, 3 goals for, 2 goals against, 1 win and 2 draws each. 1-1 draw between the 2 teams.
Denmark, because it begins with 'D'? |

Anyone got one? Looking to buy one as a present, specifically the Fenix 7x sapphire solar. Looks nice, got great reviews, but just wondered if anyone has owned one.
Went around Noj a few days ago to try and find one to try on, closest I came was a similar sized model in John Lewis, they're chunky things, for sure - couldn't try one on for size though, unfortunately.

But I think they've had a piece on ITFC for 5 or 6 days out of the last 7 now.
The only Noj stories are about the arrested defender.
I know, they're only milking it now because everyone else is, I guess. |
