QuoteBig Al Quotetreaclefingers Isn't Wales like a 10 minute drive from London though? Err, no. And besides, it's the principal of it. The Stones are a British band, but can't be bothered to look beyond London. Plus, Wales is a country not a town - distance from London depends on where in Wales you are!! America is only a few minutes away from Canada, but I wouldn't fancy

QuoteHarm They'll probably get Andy Murray on stage next weekend As long as they have some of the British & Irish Lions rugby squad as well, there'd be no complaints from me! What a day I had on Saturday!!

Right, I'll head along there early afternoon. First port of call though is Walkabout in Shepherd's Bush to (hopefully!) watch the Lions spank the Aussies!!

I remember them well - what a difference a day makes! Trying to dry my trainers overnight after the second gig but had no joy - they were still soaking most of the next day!!

Dydd Gwyl Dewi hapus - Happy St David's Day!! I think today's plans must involve seeing the St David's Day Parade in Cardiff at lunchtime and a night of fine Welsh beers!

Colonial, I'd love to visit the Biscuit Tin - for no reason whatsoever when I started watching the Super 15 I picked the Hurricanes as my team. Got a bit of a soft spot for Western Force too. If I ever win the Lottery (now would be a very googd time if rumours about tour prove to be true!), I would love to visit all 15 grounds. I've visited quite a few ground in the NH so would be nice

Just arrived home from London, and still in awe of last night's show! As much as I was looking forward to it, I still had some reservations about whether they'd cut it, but they went after the first song. For me, Mick Taylor on MR was worth the ticket on its own - and my train fare and anything else! I loved Doom and Gloom too - it showed they're still a band and not just some nost

Finally - my patience has paid off! I managed to pick up a ticket for Sunday on eBay last night at face value! Alright, it's not the best of seats but it's inside the Arena which is all I really care about. Can finally relax now - well, will do when it's in my hand!!

I agree Gazza. Think I'll hold my nerve and hang outside the venue and hopefully pick one up off a tout for a reasonable price just as the band are about to go on. It's worked before, so fingers crossed!

No joy for me! Was on the TM site, Eventim and Seetickets but all I was offerred was a ticket at £400. That's way out of my range so had to give that a miss. Gutted!!

Looking forward to seeing rugby back in the Olympics. Would have liked to have seen the full version but I think 7s is perfect for the Olympics. The tournament can be played over a couple of days and it means they can make use of the stadium before the athletics start. I was just disappointed it wasn't in this Olympics.

One of my favourite modern era Stones tracks too - really enjoyed hearing it live, as the crowd really got into it. Out of the shows I saw that tour remember it going down particularly well in Malaga

Dydd Gwyl Dewi Hapus - Happy St David's Day! No sooner have we stopped drinking to celebrate us winning the Triple Crown last Saturday, then it's St David's Day!! Particularly poignant this year as rather emotional at the football last night at the memorial match for Gary Speed - raising a glass to a true Welsh legend today..

Love the Rebus books, but not too fussed on the TV show. I actually preferred John Hannah to Ken Stott. And as a bit of a geek,as was hinted at earlier, it was Siobhan that was the Hibs supporter in the books - Rebus wasn't really into football.

Gary Speed the Welsh football manager and former playing legend very sadly passed away today. A dark day for Welsh sport and for football. Thoughts with his family at his time Thanks for everything you did for Wales Gary - you'll be missed.

It's certainly growing there. In the Basque region, Biarritz take some of their big games to San Sebastian, and in Catalonia Perpignan have played in Barcelona. Be nice to see Spain improve the way Georgia seem to be doing. The more countries playing the game the better as far as I'm concerned!!

Excellent Final! The best team in the Tournament won - not the best team on the day though! The people of New Zealand should be very proud of this World Cup - for their team and as hosts. Have heard nothing but good things from people who went there. Did help though that a lot of Kiwis adopted Wales as their 2nd team!! After everything that country has been through recently nobody can be

I'm still gutted! Obviously losing Adam Jones to injury and Warburton getting sent off were massive blows, but we still should have won. Unfortunately though we didn't take our chances and that came back to haunt us. Really impressed with the team though - they've done our country proud. Even the Hoff was supporting us yesterday!!

Quotephd My bet for the final of the northern hetmisphere : Ireland vs England with Ireland as the winner. Which would lead to NZ vs Ireland as a Final. Though France can beat England. Hope you're wrong!! Another weekend of getting up at 5 a.m ahead...
