I'm curious. The newspeople said that someone was going to empty the old folks homes and give retirees tickets to the London shows. So...How many "blue hairs" in walkers, wheelchairs, iron-lungs etc. did you all see at these shows?

Also please define for this Yank the terms "tosser" and "punter". I've been seeing that a lot here recently and I like to know when I'm being properly insulted.

i saw the bubble-boy at one show and a one-earred man with no teeth smoking a fatty

Punter = paying customer
Tosser = @#$%&

what about "rotter" and "@#$%&"?

So that was why the queue at the station was so long!

Actually I did see one old biddie pull off her incontinence pants and chuck them at Mick, but I don't think they made it as far as the stage.

Remind me again, how many more months until Bill Wyman's birthday?

P.S. I guess the best translation for 'tosser' into American would be 'jerk'...

I went to a gig at MSG in New York last year, and was asked by the Canadian next to me exactly what 'tosspot' meant. A bit difficult to explain, so I resorted to 'jerk' as the nearest meaning...any Brits know of a precise definition of 'tosspot'?

"Toss" means to 'w*nk' - ie masturbate. So you can follow from there the meaning of both 'tosser' or 'tosspot'. I would guess the american equivalent would be "jerk off"
