someone already said it today... well, not about all of us, just about me... and another one started to laugh and said "oh no" when I mentioned Istanbul in a phone call... I'm almost a professional entertainer here...
and - I really don't know what does it mean but I got that answer when I clicked "find tickets" for Sisters' "front of stage" area tickets:

That`s turkish for "We want to be members of the European Union but we don`t want to talk to them!"
What amateurs!
As flights to turkey are cheap I was considering raising the money to see the gig, but that`s cancelled now.

I haven't cancelled my own flight yet. Waiting for someone proving me I have been wrong in every point...

Flights from Glasgow certainly ain't cheap, so I've had to admit defeat on this one. I don't see the point in shelling out over £330 to fly to a part of the world that deserves more time than a weekend visit, just to stand in a field all day in the not-sold-out rear section, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Sisters during their 45 minute set. Even I'm not that daft.

Andrew S, Eva + Indrek needed advice years ago, they never sought it.
They're too far gone now...

Isn't that the trouble with all serial killers, James?

I had a fateful trip to Istanbul some years ago (although it wouldn't put me off going back) - wandering round the Grand Bizarre for about an hour, walked out and heard a massive bang and smoke coming out of the doors. A bomb had gone off.
And watch out for the taxi drivers - little tinkers they are.

So in real movie style you put the bomb there, and right as you got out it exploded and all you had to do is whipe a bit of dust of your shoulders?
ey man, istanbul is way more safe than Blackpool or Amsterdam! And if you ignore the touristic attractions, the city is cool as f**k. I found a very, very groovy store with good independent literature and some fine music. Taksim is the new Broadway (in a good way).

That's libelous that is Z.
I would like to imagine myself in panama hat, white linen suit and cigar in hand with a wrye smile on my face.
