I've been to Brighton station to buy tickets for Sunday as we are in Hyde Park for The Eagles. Told there would be little chance of getting a train as they will all be in the wrong place after Saturdays strike action. Ticket office predicted a very limited service. So we are getting the coach...

Pirahnas
Don't know where they are based now but Boring Bob and band (slightly different line up but still called The Pirahnas) playing at the Con Club in Lewes on April 14th.

Pubs that sell barista coffee. You have to wait half an hour to get a pint while the person in front of you orders a crappaccino, a frappaccino and a double de-caf caf decaffinated with a mocha twist! Go to bloody Starbucks!!
