Going To A Barcelona Game
We went to the semi-final Barca v Real Madrid in February. We were struggling to get tickets as the ones on Viagogo etc. were all £200+ so we decided to sack it. Also read quite a lot of reports of people getting scammed. Then - the day before the match, the club released some tickets - they were still €140 face value, but direct from the club. Great atmosphere until Real took the lead - and at 3-1 the Barca fans all did the 'Wigan Walk' Keep your eye on their web site for them releasing tickets. Enjoyed Barcelona - but you need to keep your wits about you. I got robbed at a bloody conference where it was a bloody fortune to get in and you needed to scan your ticket and show photo id to get in. My own fault - I left my bag next to my mate while I went for a pee, and somebody just picked it up. Police station on the site was full of people who had had their bags pinched.

Who Needs Planning Permission
Guy next door to my mother, installed a 9 foot tall roller door instead of 'garage' gates - terraced houses. It stuck up about 3 feet above the wall line of all the other houses. We appealed against it, and found out it had never had planning permission. Council told him to take it down - he appeals. Council send him a letter to say they are coming to inspect on a certain date - he borrows a minibus to park. Council give him post-dated permission - arseholes. Several massive extensions on Ladybridge doubling the size of houses. One just down the road from us - ALL the neighbours objected - it still went through. Council planning permission in Bolton is a JOKE!

Hypnotism
I thought this hypnotherapy lark was total bollocks - but I tried it for giving up smoking about 10 years ago, and never wanted one since. Strangely enough I left with a sore arse though

I think if you extend a Sky cable - the signal gets weaker. That's what I was told by an engineer - could be BS though

Bowie
Saw him open the Hardrock in Stretford just after Hunky Dory came out. Saw him several times after that, until I realised I was one of the only blokes not in make up. Early stuff is brilliant, Hunky Dory, Ziggy Stardust - later stuff not as good - except Heros
