Walking in the Shadows

Random musings from Warwickshire on life in general... Things that make me laugh, make me cry, things that wind me up beyond all endurance - and everything in between.

Happiness is knowing....

That you've got the tickets for the concert that you wanted to go to.




Yes - I've managed it.  2 tickets for the Magnum concert on the 2nd March 2018 at Birmingham Town Hall.

To say I am a happy bunny is an understatement.  I really didn't expect to get the tickets as easily as I did, and I have told my partner that his ticket will be part of his birthday present.  I mean, what else can you get a fella?

He doesn't wear aftershave, and isn't into fashion, and getting gadgets is not a good idea, as he leaves anything slightly technical to me.  So, being able to get tickets to a group that he likes (and I have gotten into) is a bonus.

Ah well, guess I'd better get read to go back to work, but I'm really *not* in the mood.  Too damned happy.

Our dreams, won’t die
If you remember them each day
Sweet dreams, blue sky
They’re gonna take you all the way
I believe, in you, no lie
Your dreams, won’t die
Your dreams won’t die

Getting tickets

I know it's been a while since I posted anything, but things are still ticking along nicely for me.  My partner and I have made plans to do quite a bit together, and the one thing that I am trying to do is get concert tickets.

Specifically tickets for a UK rock group - Magnum.  Now I know that those few people who know me well will be surprised that I like this group, but since I've been with my partner, he's really opened my eyes (and my ears) to new music.

Ok - I knew the one Magnum track - "Start talking Love", but that was my limit.  Until he mentioned that he wanted to get an early album - Chase the Dragon.


So, me being me, decided to see what I could find, and ended up listening to the album...  And it made it to my MP3 player....  And then it sort of spiralled from there, as I ended up getting a copy of Storyteller's Night  - again, on my MP3 player.




But this time, it wasn't my partner that got me listening to it.  It was my godsprog - Amber.  She kept nagging me to listen to it (even lent the album to me so that I could listen to it - but not in the car, as  I don't have a CD player) and again, I was hooked.

So now, I'm trying to get the tickets for their new tour:  The Road to Eternity.


Murphy's law states that the tickets go on pre-sale this morning, but can I access them?  Can I hell.  So, I'll have to wait until tomorrow morning, and pray that I can get them.

Ah well, guess I should call this quits - it's nearly time for me to finish lunch.

Back when I get chance.

Falcons of Royal Leamington Spa

Not something I would normally post, but this just caught my imagination:

The happy couple are nesting in the tower of the Victorian town hall (at the bottom of the Parade) and it's nice to see that the local council have done something to encourage the wildlife - and not just the flying rats (aka feral pigeons).

You think you're having a bad day.... Part II

This was sent to me by an old friend - and really summed up how I've felt today....

Hi.  My name is Rob, and tonight, I was sitting at the bar staring at my drink which I had just been served, when a large bearded long haired trouble-making biker fellow steps up next to me, grabs my drink, and gulps it down in one swig.

"Well, whatcha' gonna do about it?" he says, menacingly...  At which I immediately burst into tears.

"Come on, man," the biker says, “I didn't think you'd cry... I can't stand to see a man crying."

"This is the worst day of my life," I say to the biker!!

"I'm a complete failure.  I was late to a meeting and my boss fired me.  When I went to the parking lot, I found my car had been stolen and I don't have any insurance.  I left my wallet in the cab I had to take home.  At home, I found my wife with another man... And then, on top of that, my dog bit me."

"So I came to this bar to work up the courage to put an end to it all..... I buy a drink..... I drop a capsule in.... And I was sitting here just watching the poison dissolve..... And then you show up and drink the whole damn thing!

But, hell, enough about me,


How are you doing?"
