C86

Forgot I had these at work! Only used once in 12 months.

You need a directional microphone, not sure if you can get this with buds etc. No doubt there will be AI/software that could do this. As for noise cancelling in your ears, I've used Shure Se205's (in ear) for years and Sony MX4 (overear), both are excellent on planes 😁

A few early stuff in the set in Leeds and the following gigs. Couple of early ones in the sound check and pre sound check 🙄 Met Jim and Charlie, really nice blokes. Amsterdam in two weeks... Space 🍰's 😗

Glad you enjoyed it pal. I had a chat with Russ on Colls yesterday, he got in at 3.30am and was in the doghouse 😁 Would have been there but was at a concert in Leeds we booked last Sept. Need more than six weeks notice!

Thats a cracking set in the rain, its on YT. it was on the 5x5 tour, 5 songs from there first 5 albums. Derek Forbes has a book out A Very Simple Mind. He's got together with the original keyboard player Mick MacNeil and drummer Brian McGee and going to be doing some live dates with just early stuff, The Minds.

Definitely, I've got loads of early bootlegs, suprising how many gigs were recorded by audiences or on the sound board. I was in Valencia in January for the Simple Minds Spanish meet up. Original base player Derek Forbes was there for a Q&A. Top bloke and spent a bit of time chatting with him about his time in SM, 78 to 85. Some of the stuff 🙄

I'm on a vip meet and greet in Leeds tomorrow with SM. Also watching them in Amsterdam, Munich, Alicante & Porto.

I used https://www.bluecarrental.is/ I booked a nissan qashqai 4 wheel drive, when I got there they apologised that they didn't the car and said did I mind if they gave me a Toyota Landcrusier! Keep off F roads. Watch out for old bill and speed cameras. I stuck to the speed limit but locals where flying past me. I stuck my dashcam on and have saved the files, unbelievable landscape esp on the coast past Vik. It was 2015 and I had a 4G signal everywhere, playing at it over here.

Forget Blue Lagoon, we went to the secret lagoon, which isn't very secret. As mentioned above, new spa open in Reykavik called Sky Lagoon. Gulfoss, geysers, Seljalandsfoss & Skógafoss waterfalls and the beach at Vik. I also used the Appy Hour app, in 2015 it was £6 pint, recently in Tromso I was paying £8 which wasn't bad considering its £5.75 for Madri at TS. Plus I had 50 real ale beers and 8 pilsners to choose from. Don't forget to buy your duty free when you enter Iceland, there is a shop and you get points you can https://www.dutyfree.is/en Supermarkets can only sell 2% beer. They have govenment offies. https://www.vinbudin.is/english/home/opnunartimar Watch out for opening times. We did a £900 in seven days. Petrol, food, drinks and entrance ro Serect Lagoon.

Be cheaper to rebuild. Back at Burnden? 🙂

Thanks.

Related to Adrian?

I agree, I suspect its to do with the external IP address your ISP are allocating. The VPN, mobile and WIFI elsewhere will have a differnet external IP address. This is how a VPN can mimic you being in another country. Who's your ISP?

They used to auction mascot packages, got the lad against WBS in 2010 or 11 for £150. Nobody bid except me. To buy was £400. It was an xmas present.

PMSL, he was injured and it was at the time the Rio stuff was happening, tbf all the players/staff where approachable. Coyle was manager and we went in the dressing room before the match just after the team arrived, it was obv there was a problem, the atmosphere wasn't the best, ushered in and out. Completely different from when lad was mascot at home just after Coyle arrived. TBF Coyle was always good with my lad, just a shame it didn't work out on the pitch.

Same back in 2012, lad was mascot at Chelsea. Chelsea looked after us, meal & drinks on next table to players wives 😆 Gave us a tour with the home mascots. Met John Moston, John Terry, Lamps etc. £49 each for tickets mind.

Yes. Still do Punchfest August BH.

Very. I think I first tried it in the millstone in town after it got refurbished. Never again.

Good man.

Cheers pal, been there a few times in last 12 months, shots for corners some games 🙄

That would be a good. 👍

I sup Fri and Sat, a couple of g&t's on a Sunday afternoon then nowt. Testing times next month. Going to a 4 days week. Tbf I'm off out walking.

Bloody hell pal. Thing is you think it's just yourself going through shite and everyone else is living the dream. We need a beer, get maimi out again.

I've been doing Vit D for about 5 years. Not sure if it helps with depression, I'm still up and down like a brides nighty.
