Ticketmaster are a nightmare. 
If you're not in the pre-sale category, you might as well not bother. 
I tried to get Spingsteen tickets, logged in on the dot, and the only available tickets were well over £400, for a standing ticket.
For the Arctic Monkeys gig, I'd bought the vinyl just to get presale access, it took about half an hour to eventually buy some face value tickets. 
They claim they have the dynamic pricing to deter scalpers, but other companies seem to be able to sidestep them without becoming scalpers themselves, it's pure greed.
The artists themselves need to take a good long look in the mirror when using Ticketmaster, imo.
Especially Bruce, who's long claimed to put on a Hollywood show at working man's prices. 

I might be getting a little unrealistic now, but Liverpool and Everton would be good.

Everton would be highly amusing, but it's got to be lestah.

All episodes on iPlayer too. Proper British TV drama, with a great cast.
 

Why would people need to be told that?

Derby players don't have to worry about PAYE tax, Uncle Mel will collect that for them, oh hang on.

My band (Man Made Moon) had a song played at half time at Cov today 

We're a toxic group of greed and entitlement ?

I'll have to try it .
Liked the first series of Killing Eve, hated everything after that .
Loved Deutschland 83, and hated 86 and 89. ?

I know what you mean about the follow-up seasons being disappointing. Killing Eve especially got ridiculous and was almost a parody of itself by the end. Deutschland too - all started to stretch the boundaries of disbelief after a while
I think you'll enjoy Kleo then - as it has the "first series" feel with nothing to be ruined yet. Online says it hasn't been currently renewed for a season 2 as it only just aired.  I haven't finished it, so I don't know if it's obviously set up for one or not

Although to be fair, it’s a pretty crap word, and probably not worth trying to bring it back. ?

Shout out to the "Balance" App - currently free for a year, though you can choose to donate if you want to.
I've been struggling with work stress for a few months and especially with being unable to stay asleep & waking up anxious & irritable every day. Not sure how my wife has put up with me.
This meditiation app was recommended to me by a friend and, after 4 days, I can already feel a big benefit. It doesn't matter if you're new to meditation or an expert, as the programme will be tailored to what experience you have, and the issues you are looking to address.

And I'd like to think that another big proportion of the people liking it is because they know the story and recognise and are proud of the fact that Britain has in our recent history been a welcoming destination to many people from around the world that has turned us into the vibrant and diverse population we now are. 
That doesn't right the wrongs of  earlier (and most lately) behaviours but it is an ideal many of us still believe in.

Is this a good place for tributes? (I like to keep things tidy.)
I thought this was rather beautiful. 
 

If you do not wish to pay your respects to the Queen, that's fine, being respectful to the members on this forum that wish to though isn't a big ask.
This really is not the time or the place to discuss personal views on the monarchy. 

I saw Wishbone Ash, and Hawkwind at Cheltenham town hall (separate nights) around same time, though possibly '74. 

Or alternatively, polite fellow motorists who understand that sometimes it is very hard to exit or enter junctions onto/from busy main roads and who therefore signal that they are offering help, and a degree of protection, from other motorists too impatient to allow others to enter the highway.
It may be against the HC to 'flash' your lights to others in a positive manner but, equally, if you don't do that other drivers are often uncertain if you are offering a gap or not.  Try not signalling when cars are filtering ahead of you into a single lane for example and watch how the uncertainty leads to hesitation and therefore danger.
I would agree that grinding to a sudden, unexpected halt in a flow of traffic to let someone out can be dangerous but shouldn't we all be helping each other out? Using a quick, positive headlight flash to signal intention/permission is no bad thing.

I'll try to find out, but I'd be amazed if anyone's ever referred to a Batswoman as a Batsman!

Morning guys , heres my brand new heavy metal/stoner rock originals band King mumakil. Notice the derby ram on my telecaster ?.
Have we got any other musicians on here or metalheads? 

I'm more than old enough to remember all of the examples you give. Language does indeed evolve, and always will. A lot of the stuff you talk about there is /was offensive, and it's rightly, (mainly) a thing of the past. I'm struggling though, to see how something like Batsman is offending anyone. 
I'm not threatened by change, just puzzled by some of it. It doesn't break my world either to refer to someone as a batter. Like you, I'm happy to call them anything you like. Though all it's doing is using one word instead of another, when , in this case anyway, I'm not sure what the issue is with the original word.

If he doesn't like the car park charges in Brighton, he's definitely not going to like the cost of taking a car over to the Isle of Wight ?.
I was in Brighton last month for the first time ever. We were staying about 20 miles away, and went there twice .I liked it. If I was going there for a long weekend, and wanting to stay near the front, I'd forget about the car park charges, and go on the train.

@BaaLocks 
I'd be interested to know why you think the term 'batsman', in a game of cricket between two teams of men, needs to recede. 

Anytime somebody glues themselves to something, I've never figured out why they're not just left there.

Bought a couple of these during lockdown and was very happy with them. However after a year in the garden they were looking a tad tired so I've given them a makeover and although I usually hate the beauty of wood being painted over, I'm actually delighted with how they've come back to life.
