Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

I'll ask a question that you will at least no the topic of

How early do you expect the main event of the Sky comp at DTD to sell out ? Thinking of venturing down to get owned by one of the sky players where fish are fish and the talent isn't talented*




*Taking from our friend Jeeves' Diary,did you sack him btw ?

No idea, not sure it will, to be honest.

The Diary was empty when we set the date & booked DTD, but now it clashes with UKIPT Dublin, the start of Brighton GUKPT, Teeside British Masters, & the English Open, the last-named at £3,500, in fairness, not really having any crossover.

Against that, Seats were released for Online Qualifying or Direct Online buy-in via SP last Thursday, & 66 seats have gone already, so hard to tell. Add 10 or 15 "celebs, Talent & Journos" etc, plus, we hope, a Live Sat at DTD, & it's tough to call the final total really. I hope you are there too, I do, you'd love it, & I'd have the PA so I could abuse you.

Jeeves? He left me, I think. Could not stand the pace, I guess.

Hopefully I will make it down for it,sigh when I bustout level 1 and get abused fml lol

Oh yes, be in no doubt, you'll get some abuse on the PA. It's included in the £220 price.

We had "technical issues" in Swansea last weekend, & so could not use the PA until the final, so no "abuse", & half the Forum complained afterwards. "Swansea was a bit disappointing, tikay never abused us".

Honest, I kid you not.

Agreed he's no Morecambe & Wise but then they're are very different types of comedians.I did expect you'd know who he was though.He's a bit strong like so I'd expect he's not everybodys cup of tea.

Nope, never heard of him, he's never appeared on my radar. I guess I've lived a sheltered life.

We seem to have got by without each other.

I'm sad that he died so young, though.

Lifestyle inflicted but yeah it's a shame.Do you know who Larry David is ? (sorry if this seems like 20 questions ) I've been watching a lot of Curb your enthusiasm the last couple of days,I wasn't sure how to take him at first but I've grown to really like him,he's very dry humour but very funny imo,plus I think the theme tune is the best for any show ever.

Nope. This is not going too well for me, is it?

Wii tells me he was something to do with Seinfield, which was another no-go area for me.

LOL,Yeah he was co-creator of Seinfield,I never watched Seinfield either but really like this,I imagined you'd like the dry humour.

One of the funniest shows around IMO...well worth catching up on if you haven't seen it yet mate.

You wouldn't like it TK, too American for your good self.

Not so much better than the Two Ronnies as different from the Two Ronnies and still brilliant. (Actually obviously better than the two Ronnies as they couldn't even compete with Monty Python and Seinfeld is on a par with Fawlty Towers IMO.)

We ran well for 3 months or so, but the court stuff got too heavy, paying weekly fines was OK, but Contempt of Court is the tricky one, you get sent down for that. The Business (it was named "ARC CENTRE" after the three founders, three East London wide boys, Jack Allitt, Bill Read & Barry Cordial, who I worked for) then hit another prob when the kid I employed to help out started pocketing the takings. Jack, Bill & Barry were not too impressed with that.

I worked for them for 19 years, eventually I lost touch with Bill. Barry grimmed me for my life savings & more - £29,000 - every penny I had in the world, car & house, too. I kept in touch with Jack until he died, & utterly loved the man, it was he who taught me about life with rough edges.


How did this happen mate?

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but as there is a steam train I will mention it. At Waterloo station they are performing the Railway Children including a Steam train which I think was from the film. Well acted and a bit of nostalgic fun.

This reminds me, I saw a story in an old issue of our local newspaper.

I've found this extract of it:

23/07/1850

The Hastings benefit societies organised a non-profit day-out excursion to Brighton and Shoreham, with 1,247 passengers aboard a 37-carriage train, hauled by two engines.

But there was no picture in the paper - does anyone know of any picture of a train similar to that one?

I struggle to believe that. 37 carriages?

Other articles suggested that 20 carriage trains were relatively common during the height of the season, but you can see why this one stood out.

Obviously this was reported by a journalist - so you never know; for all I know there were two trains but the journo decided that wasn't a good enough story

37 carriages would not work in those days imo John, which was before braked rolling stock & the invention of the vacuum brake. Even 20 sounds far-fetched.

As you suggest, Journos are all shite, except Barry Carter, of course.

...

Come to think of it, although I am inclined to blame shoddy journalism, there were a lot of train accidents in the 19th century. Even if the brakes couldn't really handle it, might they have tried it anyway?

Given the lack of health and safety I was thinking they might do - I might try and find some corroborating evidence. Ideally, like I suggested, I'd like to find a picture because even for a non-train nut a 37 carriage train pulled by 2 engines sounds like it'd look cool.
