That’s brilliant.

Yeah that was one of those ones that I looked forward to for ages and it went way beyond expectations. Savage night that continued into next day if I remember correctly.

Must look up the last 4 or 5 songs. 10 years man. 10 years!

I live my life in the city, there’s no easy way out

Jurgen Klopp didn’t want Salah at Liverpool.

I was at that. Swedish House Mafia was the next night. I wasn’t at that. Chaos ensued.

I was there also. We went in hope more than expectation thinking Brown’s voice was gone and they would be too rusty but they were brilliant. Swedish House Mafia the next night was littered with stabbings and beatings iirc although I wasn’t there.

Browns voice was fairly ropey on the night as I recall.

It was but no more so than many previous concerts in years gone by. We thought it would be completely gone.

True enough. Meself and Powery enjoyed it immensely.

Nottingham has the greatest concentration of caves of any place in the British Isles, with more than 800 being catalogued so far. The city sits upon a soft sandstone ridge which can easily be dug with simple hand tools to create artificial cave dwellings. The caves housed the only known underground tannery in Britain up until the early 1600s.

Over 500 of these caves were used, with some being expanded, to form the 86 public air-raid shelters used by the city’s inhabitants during WW2. Together they had a capacity to house just under 10,000 people, giving Nottingham the second largest air-raid shelter capacity after London itself.

I found this lad on the road in the peak District. No idea what class of a shnake it is, but there’s shnakes up there.
