I've 2 front row floor seats for Mrs Browns Boys in Leeds in June Bought from Eventim when they went on sale The wife & I are looking forward to it, but I'm also aware that such prime tickets could fetch a fair premium, and I may test the market a week or so before the show, by posting on one of the resale sites or Gumtree If someone is willing to pay silly prices, we'd probably sell, and wait for the DVD. I'd have no issues selling if someone wants to pay!

What classification is that then? Or perhaps reading your posts over the years has helped form a sensible, self-thinking opinion?
Quote:Truth of the matter is that sensible self-thinkers do not live their lives according to political dogma and the thought that "Would the Labour Party/Tory Party (delete which does not apply) approve of this transaction?" simply does not cross anyone's mind, apart from yours (apparently).
Actually, apparently not, seeing as I didn't mention political parties. You did.

LOL, I think I once voted for the Labour party, several elections ago to get rid of the Tory tw*t who had held this seat for so long that he thought it was his birthright, but thats probably the only time I did - what is your sensible self-thinking opinion of my political views then ?

Ha, nice attempt at a backtrack - let's just note again it's not me who keeps 'classifying' in terms of political parties, shall we.

THIS
There was an evening just before Christmas that BBC1 were showing a re-run of a previous Mrs Brown's Boys christmas special, the alternative on BBC2 was Jack Whitehall mincing around in front of his dad.
That one piece of inspired scheduling should be enough to legally refuse to renew a TV licence

Mrs Brown's Boys, anything hosted by Jack Whitehall, Citizen Khan, anything hosted by Russell Kane. The evidence is mounting.
Before anyone says that it's aimed at teenagers I don't care it's still painfully unfunny. Teenagers are stupid when it comes to comedy. Hence the success of Two & a Half Men.
