Nice one, Weird! Am pleasantly surprised. o/ Glad you like them. I got into them at a very late stage - like in last few years, and saw them play live in Glasgow then too. Awesome. You'll love! :D

I just checked out the song list for the Time Machine Tour and I'm totally psyched... they're playing all of MOVING PICTURES! 8O

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2012" club. I saw 32, which is rather delightful.. I beat Mr. Glass on free films but he narrowly inched me out on total films seen.

Member number 33 of the "100 free films in 2011" club. I saw 20, interestingly enough. My more realistic target was to see more free films than TheyCallMeMrGlass. I lost.

Just booked tickets to see Kylie in Manchester, I'm so excited it should be fabulous :D
Did anyone else go to the Kylie exhibition a few years ago? The clothes were so beautiful and so tiny I felt so huge with my size 6 feet next to these dainty size 2s.
I can't believe that there were tickets still available for April and really good seats.

On another note what was everyone's first record/CD that they b*ght? Mine was Let Me In by the Osmonds

No, I haven't got any tickets to see Kylie "I should be so lucky!"
I'm really showing my age here but I remember b*ying The Bay City Rollers on a 7 inch "floppy" vinyl record from my local newsagents for just 2 pence! :Embarrassed:
