Ticket trouble
Posted on Fri, 19 Jul 2024
Back in the day the perfomers would employ their own people to distribute and sell their tickets but now they keep their overheads down by washing their hands of the responsibility and handing it over to an agency. Inflated prices and unrealistic...

Wealthy mates
Posted on Fri, 19 Jul 2024
Aww, have a heart! I'm sure the people at the ticket agency were only trying to fit in with their mates at all the other big organisations that have shown total disrespect for their customers in order to accumulate vulgar amounts of wealth.

Glaswegians Chapter 3 Verse 8
Posted on Thu, 18 Jul 2024
Mmmmh, now that's a good point IPFN. I lived in Glasgow for a large chunk of 1978 and I don't remember seeing a wasp. There were, however, a great number of people turning wine into water.

That's disappointment!
Posted on Thu, 18 Jul 2024
We (Bulgaria) didn't qualify but twelve of our East European neighbours did. That's an unprecedented 50% of the line up for the tournament's finals in Germany. I was convinced that at least one of them would do well. Golden old boy Luka Modrić in...

From the depths of a coffee cup
Posted on Fri, 19 Jul 2024

String
Posted on Thu, 11 Jul 2024
I'm really sorry to hear about your dental ordeal but pleased that you weren't so traumatised that you were unable to write your poem about it.
For future reference a bottle of rough whiskey, a piece of string and a door handle is a much...
