Oh god yeah. saw The Besnard Lakes there when it was Jam and it is also truly terrible. Komedia downstairs was worse for me though. Anyone going to the Modest Mouse Concorde 2 gig needs to check their email. The show has been cancelled (as well as the whole European tour) as they are 'working...

Am I right in thinking that the venue upstairs at Komedia no longer exists and all gigs are now downstairs? The downstairs venue if one of the worst I've ever been in - it's not very big but I genuinely couldn't see a thing. I'm not a tall guy, but the fact that they had TV screens showing the...

Hidden was a genuinely astonishing album. I still go back to it and am always amazed at how amazing and sophisticated it is. It really does sound like Benjamin Britten at times - and to look at them they just don't seem like to sort of band to come out with something like that. Sadly I can see...

That looks genuinely rubbish! The rubbish music doesn't help, but the amount of people standin round looking bored is weird. Surely if you're going to pay all that money for a Queen tribute act you'd muster a little enthusiasm for their most famous song?

Now that the players don't give a **** about England it's hard to muster up much interest yourself. I do feel bad about not supporting England very much (didn't even know we were playing Brazil), but I can't fake interest. The first tournament I remember was Euro 1996, when it seemed like...

I really don't want to see any further expansion for a long time. We need to prove that the current 25-30k gates are going to be sustainable long term or whether we are still riding a new stadium/attractive football wave. There's nothing worse than watching football in a ground filled to a low...

Just booked Deerhunter and will soon be booking Kurt Vile at Concorde 2. Great to see artists like this coming to Brighton. Hoping some of the Great Escape bands I missed head back this way, like Parquet Courts and Mikal Cronin. Also praying that The National add a Brighton date next year. Did...

It's really really not as simple as that though. The implications of the Cowell machine are far wider than the show itself. For example, the kid who you say had a few good jokes has been led to believe that th route to success in comedy is tO chase 5 minute of fame on a show which barely tests...

I find it baffling that you'd think that people with real genuine talent would actually bother going on shows like this. It's designed around making money for Cowell and his production company, it's really got very little to do with the idealistic goals it pretends it is, and is not really...

Comparing Russell Howard with Ricky Gervais is truly comparing apples with oranges. The former is a flavour of the moment comedian who is lucky to be working in an era that means successful stand up guarantees TV work. The latter has created two sitcoms that redefined the language of comedy...

The difference between just outside top 4 and top 4 (as it was then) is enormous. He spent a lot of money and would have had more of a chance had he not bought such a lot of rubbish. Would it really have been a good idea for the owner(s) to risk long time financial instability for one stab at...

You can do a telephone order and they'll come and meet you outside the gates, so don't worry you'll still be able to get all the pizza you need! Or just go to Dominos which is nicer anyway!

Doesn't matter what level we're at - it's just an odd thing to say when we've just had one of our most successful managers who had no prior experience before joining us. Experience can be very VERY overrated as well - I don't hear people calling for Peter Reid, Terry Venables, Steve McClaren...

I think the conversation might go more like: DF: Hey Dad, you know you've just hit 70 and have retired after an exhausting 30 plus years in management, during which time you've worked with some of the worlds best players, won pretty much everything, established yourself as the greatest manager...

The Russell Brand podcasts are still some of the funniest things I've ever heard. If you think you don't like Brand (and he definetely comes across as a knob a lot of the time) then seek them out.

Do you realise that our last manager was Poyet? Short memory?!

I'm guessing you don't go to the cinema very often if you think it's only the US that adds a premium for 3D tickets?!

:lolol::lolol::lolol: Nothing like going in with an open mind eh?

NO he wasn't. Let's put that idea to bed. You might have been swept up in the tabloid shitstorm that told everyone that everyone was wanting him (built on the fact that journalists love him because unlike most serious contenders he doesn't mind leaning out of car windows and producing bullshit...

How many bets does it take for the price on someone like that to drop? For instance, if 20 people read this and thought "oh I might stick a quid on him", would the bookies think there's a lot of activity on him and lower the odds? It's a massive Catch 22 right?
