We should never have been down in the Championship, a team that can get 50,000+ in the second tier deserves much better management. Having said that, Rafa didn't bale out; he stuck to the task at hand and got us back where we belong. Congratulations too to Chris Hughton and Brighton, Chris is a class act.

Quotespikenyc This is what should really gross you out about Coachella. You cant blame Paul for this. Unfortunately this is what social media and millenials have done to this festival. The linked article is from from 2014, although I doubt much has changed. However, when I saw who wrote it I stopped reading: Bob Lefsetz is a whiny wannabe hipster troll.

Just got back from the store. I managed to snag the last one at my local Ollie's, As others have said they aren't a mail order operation - more of a pile it high, sell it cheap place. I think they're only on the East coast. The box set was shrink wrapped but the barcode had been struck through with a sharpie. Nice for $10.

I was sorting out the recycling this morning when something caught my eye. . . check out the bottom centre of page 1. Ollies Flyer Ollies is a chain of discount/salvage stores in the US. I guess they overestimated how many of us would pay $50+ for the Hyde Park set. I'm going to see if I can pick one up: for $10 I'm sure the book is nice.

Just finished Bill Wyman's scrapbook - I bought it on-line earlier this year and a family member brought it over. An excellent read; the Stones didn't play as big a part as I'd expected. All in all I thought it was a good piece of British social history, starting off with the WW2 blitz. The best music biog I read this year was "I'll sleep when I'm Dead" writt

I just got an E-mail from Eagle Rock promoting the movie. I clicked on the link to "Fathom Events" and there was zero, nothing, nada Stones related there. The event calendar had nothing listed for the date posted in the E-mail. Can't these people talk to each other and get their shit straight?

I was there last night at Virginia Beach and it certainly wasn't a River show. The first ten songs came from his first 2 albums: Greetings From Asbury Park and The Wild , The Willing & the E Street Shuffle. He started out solo on piano with "For You", the rest of the set was: 2. Does This Bus Stop at 82nd Street? 3. It's Hard to Be a Saint in the City 4. Growin'

I thought he was doing The River in its entirety on this tour, that's how it was billed. I'm going to the VA Beach show on Saturday - I'd rather see the whole of the River than 4 hours of covers and obscurities.

Got to admit that I was fairly late to the MP3 scene, I've had an Ipod video for about 10 years now. When the hard drive died I updated it to a 240 GB disk (from 80 GB ). I've also replaced the battery a couple of times. If you're reasonably handy, working on Ipods isn't that difficult and there are plenty of YouTube videos to help. If you don't feel confident enough

A few years ago I experienced an interesting twist on this subject at a Stones show! We were at the ABB tour show in Charlottesville's Scott Stadium. Some bozo called in a bomb threat during the show. We were in the on stage boxes that night, Mick announced what was going on and the band left the stage (and the stadium - we saw them leave) The entire stage area was evacuated while a bomb

Although the listed shows didn't have anything appealing within a reasonable distance.

The size difference could be explained by the source of the paper. Most of the world uses the Ax or By designation (where X and y are numbers) and the paper area is a fraction of a square metre. Whereas in the USA paper sizes are in X inches x Y inches, designating the length of the sides. For comparison A4 is pretty close to the US 8.5" x 11" size A3 is close to the US 17" x
