Brussels-Paris as it seems!

Listenable, but I clearly would have preferred Hypernova. Well, another hour to order beer then :innocent:

It'd be just plain rude not to do this one, wouldn't it? 8)

i like trains are doing the european dates! :D

i'm not clear what that means for 'to the bones' though - they might still be doing leeds and/or london :|

more clarification when i know ;D :lol:
Mon now Boss, you know we'll still be in the pub.....

Speaking of pubs-Obvious choice is the Dry Dock however a new(ish) pub is now open in Millenium Square. This is close to the venue and is a Lloyds pub so is bloody cheap. It also has a large outside area for smokers.

The Cuthbert Broderick is a Wetherspoons though.

Walkabout is right next to the venue. Mind, that's sh!te an all.

Aye (or eye even) its a bummer. Haven't been able to work since October either!

Tried the tapping foot at the bar during The Pogues at Leeds Academy. Its not fun! Drinking hellish amounts before, during & after however, most certainly is. 8)

No way am I entering my credit card number into that!

No https! :eek:
Tickets are now available direct from seetickets;
www.seetickets.com

However,should you want London tickets,search "Sisters of Mercy" whereas,if,like me,you're going to Leeds,it's "The Sisters of Mercy" you need to look for.


Anyway,ordered two this morning,now I need to sort out accomodation.

Just booked a twin room at the Radisson hotel,down the road from the venue,for £65.
Which is nice.

Ticket and train booked. I'll sort accommodation later on.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Whichever one lets you sit outside with yer pint gets my vote. As long as it's not in Brixton. :innocent:

The Dry Dock is nice, but Walkabout is literally outside the venue. My vote says Walkabout, as people frommout of town will be able to find it as soon as they've found the venue.

Also, Dry Dock is packed on a weekday evening, whereas we'll (hopefully) be able to grab a seat at Walkabout, and it let's those of us that intend to queue up a little...early... pop in and say hello and pop out again now and again.
Nationalise the f**king lot.
