Annasfield - I don't blame you - it's really not a very nice venue. Just another big arena. BUT - it's saving grace is that it's a doddle to get from O2 to ED; 4 stops away from London Bridge - piece of cake. And you're very fond of London Bridge, yes?

I'm a complete lightweight in the alcohol department - barmaid's apron. Very cheap date - don't eat much and can't drink much. My strict rule is stop at 2 but Wednesday was not a good day, and I went to 3 (possibly 3 and a half - who knows). Suffice to say I had the mother and father of all hangovers. The lowpoint, possibly of my whole year when I think about it, was jumping off the bus at the Elephant & Castle and ... dear God above I can't believe I'm typing this ..... being sick down my own sleeve. Classy.

I saw Leonard Cohen last night at O2. Best gig I've been to this year. Absolute class. Masterful. 74 I think.

Often when the media whip things up it is just a storm in a teacup with big headlines to sell papers. I have avoided the media coverage on this case as I don't want to know the details of how the child suffered. But the child did suffer. That's my point.

I'm sure that, as always, the media likes to whip people up into a frenzy - it sells papers. But you really can't get round the fact that this child had a horrible life / death.

I have tried really really hard not to have a knee-jerk reaction to this. But I've failed. I tried to ignore the media coverage but I saw some at lunchtime and I had to take myself off to a meeting room and lock the door so that I could weep. I want the people who tortured and killed this child to die a horrible and slow death spitting blood. I truly hope that when they get to prison the other inmates feel the same way.

Kings of Leon are returning to the O2 next summer (I know they haven't actually been yet, to come back, but nevermind). For those on the O2 network text "KINGS" to 2402 for a presale code, for everyone else they'll be on sale this Friday.

David - do you have a camera hidden in my house? A bug in my garage? That's illegal isn't it? Hope you bought direct at www.roundhouse.org.uk - save on those pesky booking fees. The circle is actually quite nice at the Roundhouse BTW - only has about 5 rows - not like Hammersmith or Brixton where you're miles away.

Westel Woodbury Willoughby Debut album "It has no point" I can hardly wait for my first gig. David - are you seeing Fleet Foxes at the Roundhouse?

David - have you heard of Fleet Foxes? They're very folk-pop. Sorry - I can't post a Youtube 'cos I'm at work and don't have access.

Guys - there are about 5 different Wire threads on the forum now without "turning" the "Oh my..." thread. Having said that, McNulty. I definitely would.

Omar has a rich velvety voice which is deeply attractive. I'm guessing that's not the source of your thing though is it Chav?

Rock the Casbah - Clash

Nice green eyes

Nah - you're deluded. I'm not prepared to concede that Roger Moore was EVER totty.

I did that once - for Angels in America at the National years ago - two very long plays in one day - your bum will go numb so take advantage of any opportunity to get up and walk around.

Blind Boys of Alabama get my vote (series 1). I saw them years ago supporting Peter Gabriel - it was amazing just watching them getting on/off the stage. Pure magic. Tom Waits has such a massive and loyal fan-base and I just don't get him. At all.

What - they've done a Series 5 !! No honestly - Sean, I was clever - I didn't read the thread I just posted at the end of it. In and out, no harm done. See, I just did it again. I'm fast like that.

Moos - I am actually laughing. I think that makes me sadder than you. * very loud gunshot *

Branagh had always irritated me but then I saw him in Edmond at the NT and his performance was stunning. Moos - have heard good things about the Norman Conquests.

James. OK - maybe you have a point. But a tin of beans has more sex appeal than Roger Moore. Non?

The Wire isn't exactly full of laughs but something made me crack up at the beginning of Series 2. One of the detectives talking about white guys selling drugs who come right up to you and say "hello, I've got the drugs, have you got the money?". Quite funny when you think of all the effort the black kids in the projects go to to avoid talking about drugs. Erm, you had to be there.

Hides under table to avoid the > teacup SBs just let fly at my head. Actually I DID do a big spoiler but I edited it out sharpish. I guess I thought I was the only person in SE22 who hadn't watched Series 2 so a spoiler would be OK. Oops though.

Oops. So, Blind Boys of Alabama or Tom Waits?
