Ritzy meet-up
Thank you all for your comments about Thursday’s UK & Europe premiere of ‘Remember That Night: David Gilmour Live At The Royal Albert Hall’. Whether you were with David at the Odeon in London’s Leicester Square, or at any of the other cinemas across Europe, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed hearing about your night.
Particularly for those for whom English is a second language, you might like to read a transcript from the Odeon Q&A session here. Video is to follow shortly, so keep your eyes peeled for Latest News.
I thought you might like a dedicated space to arrange another pre-show get-together in advance of Saturday’s North American premiere – yes, that’s this Saturday: Saturday 15 September – which is to be broadcast live to 166 cinemas across Canada and the US, from the Ritzy in Brixton, London.
Everyone is welcome to join the party, so don’t be shy. There is a bar on the premises. However, if you know of a better place to meet for a drink and a chin-wag before the show starts, do send your suggestions.
There are still tickets available at some cinemas. For full details, please see previous entries concerning Canada and the US.
If you can make it to the Ritzy at short notice and would like to be on my back-up list, please send in your full name and address. However, please understand that there can be no guarantee that you will be contacted with the offer of tickets.
Please also note that this is a private event and you will only get in if your name is on the list. I would strongly discourage anyone from turning up on the night, fancying their chances of blagging their way in.
The film starts at 8PM (UK), but part of the ‘Breaking Bread, Drinking Wine’ documentary will be shown from 7.30PM (UK).
Thanks for this, I would love to attend, and I think the others would too…
See you on Saturday
Thanks again,
Bob
[It's our pleasure, Bob. Enjoy it. - Features Editor]
As my directional skills are now legendary I shall be taken by the hand to any local establishment willing to have my company. Can’t wait…………………………

p.s Anybody wants post show drinks I’m in the same hotel on the Strand. ” A mere stones throw from Brixton, if you have a pocketfull of them mind you!”
*Waits patiently at ‘Latest News.’*
- James.
The bar in The Ritzy sounds good to me.
Dear Fed…. if possible can we be considered for 2 tickets for the Ritzy if they become available.. [...]
We had such a great time last week and it would be lovely to meet up again
thank you
[Certainly, Heather. I shall be in touch the moment two spares become available. - Features Editor]
Great irony of ironies….American Airlines just announced a special to London: $330 round trip….
D’oh!!!!!!
Hi Fed,
I am one of the “RITZY winners”…, GREAT NEWS!
THANKS SO MUCH that I was invited to the event on Saturday, 15th. A dream come true for me!
Hopefully meet you and some other fans there…, plane and hotel are already booked.
Thanks again, all the best

[Have a great time, Pete. Be sure to tell us all about it. - Features Editor]
Hey Fed,
If there is a program for the NA show at the Ritzy, will we be able to get a hold of one as well. Not that I am too greedy LOL!!
Cheers, Howard
[I should think that the same booklet will be available to all on Saturday, but will certainly check. Please let me know what's on offer in North American cinemas. - Features Editor]
I’ve just done a quick Google Maps look to see what’s near the Ritzy. There appear to be plenty of pubs nearby, but according to the reviews don’t seem to be the nicest of places.
There is a bar around the corner called “Living Bar and Club” at 433 Coldharbour Lane, London, SW9 8LN that might be suitable. They have private rooms there so perhaps if there’s enough of us going we could book a room? I don’t mind organising it if we have the numbers (I’ll even get busy with some funky name stickers!) – what do you guys think?
Otherwise any old pub will do…it’s about the company, not the place
N
Is that a DVD or a CD sticking out of Davids head?
Hope you all have a good time Saturday night down in Brixton,and all over North America.
Gary Hurley.
London England.
I’d like to say to you all that it’s so sad to not be with you at Ritzy.I wish you all to have a great time,and drink a drop of rum somewhere for me!
Hi everyone,ciao Fed,
emi
Okie Dokie, Fed – Let’s all meet in the Ritzy Bar….don’t know that part of London all that well but it seems as good a place as any.
Does anyone know what time the bar opens?
Because of the timing of the buses between Nottingham and London, we get to Victoria Coach Station about 2-ish and will catch a cab up to Brixton from there. Not bringing the buggy this time!
Are the tickets being sent out, Fed, or do we ask for the “guest list”?
Love ya!

[They'll be sent out to UK addresses. Everyone else will collect at the door. - Features Editor]
Hey Fed,
Me again.. I saw the info that you will be taking extra questions for the NA show. Can I resubmit mine?
Cheers, Howard
[Sure. - Features Editor]
I was floating on air when I read your e-mail, I feel very lucky to have the opportunity to attend the Ritzy.
Just a quick query re: no cameras, does that include mobile phones with cameras?
[Please. - Features Editor]
Hello Fed!

[Well, they were available in all the UK cinemas, that's for sure. - Features Editor]
A generous idea, the transcript here from the Odeon Q&A session, especially for us, non native English speakers.
Everything here is always done for the maxi comfort of every fan, I know we are very lucky. Many thanks!
I truly enjoyed reading part 1 and I’m looking forward to reading part 2, 3, …10, …?

F*Ed,
In an attempt to do something completely different here…
Is there something that I can do for you?
Just asking…
Matt
[Hmm. I'm sure there are lots of things, Matt. - Features Editor]
[Me again.. I saw the info that you will be taking extra questions for the NA show. Can I resubmit mine?]
[Sure. - Features Editor]
Hey FED,
Will there be a formal submission for this as time is obviously getting short for any recording? Or will it be like at the Odeon where some questions were just read out?
Cheers, Howard
[We would require the usual: photo, video and audio. - Features Editor]
[... directional skills ... - Geoff]
LOL Geoff ;-)
Wishing everyone who will be attending as good a time as I had last Thursday. You will undoubtedly be in for a treat.
Mich, I propose we get together and silently drown our grief for not attending in a lot of Beaujolais…
Have a ball,
Ralph
[Hmm. I'm sure there are lots of things, Matt. - Features Editor]
Animal, vegetable, friggin’ sharks with friggin’ lasers, bigger than a breadbox?

[I can't think right now. I'm in the simple zone. - Features Editor]
RE: Question
Will you notify the winners and when?
Cheers, Howard
[Well, the winners have been notified, of course. I've got what I wanted out of you all, thanks very much. We're just keeping the opportunity for someone to submit a too-good-to-ignore question open, now that US radio has decided that they'd like a way for their listeners to belatedly get in on the act. If we get a really, really, really good one, presumably, someone, somewhere, will let out an excited squeal and muggins here will send that person an e-mail requesting video and audio recordings, plus a photograph. - Features Editor]
Not being a self-pretentious idiot here, but does wherever we meet up, could someone check if it has a decent TV there.
Only reason I ask is that Wales are playing Austrailia that day.
If the place doesnt have a tv there, no worries.

Oh ! yes, ok, Ralph! and rum with Emilio would be good too !
Michèle
I apologize, FEd, if this question has (or will be) asked a million times before I post this, but….do you know if the US cinemas will also be showing the “Breaking Bread, Drinking Wine” documentary prior to the actual show, on Saturday?
The ticket documentation I have suggests the show begins at 8:00 p.m. UK time, but I couldn’t tell if the documentary was something only for the audience in Brixton or not.
Thanks very much for all your work & efforts, FEd!
[Someone hasn't read what I've written, way up there. It's like a dagger through my heart, Lynn. It's a good thing that I'm in the simple zone. (See the last paragraph, just above the pink 'Vote for me!' button. Which you don't have to click on a daily basis, of course.) - Features Editor]
NYC Meet-UP: Heartland Brewery Part Deux?
Last year a group of us met at Heartland Brewery around the corner from Radio City Music Hall. As it turns out, there is a Heartland Brewery on Union Square about a couple blocks away from the DVD Screening Theater…
So how about a meet up before and/or after? I can get there around 2pm before, and then hang out after for a couple hours…
Heartland Brewery
35 Union Square West at 17th Street
RE: Question again
So would I have to resubmit a new question since the first one was not chosen?
Cheers, Howard
[Go on, then. Hit me with a new one. The same goes for whoever fancies their chances and wasn't e-mailed last week to be informed that their question has been chosen. (Of course, you're all here as slightly nervous radio listeners now, so please act the part.) - Features Editor]
That is one incredible picture heading this blog entry. No wonder this DVD is so good – everyone put their entire hearts into it.
Have a good time at the Ritzy everyone.

I still have the dreams of the echoes of high hopes obscured by clouds..or is it a wall..
Angelo,
Works for me! My wife and I will be there. Before or after, not sure which yet! Look forward to it!

fed, what is the simple zone?!?!
[It's that place you go to, mentally, when you don't want to think too much for fear of getting a really bad tension headache (not least because you've been banging your head against a brick wall for God know's how long, you know it's time for a break). It's the next step, for when you've found that visualising gentle waves isn't enough and you've bit your tongue so much that it's bleeding. You know what I mean, right? The Simple Zone. Where all is simple. - Features Editor]
Bless you,Fed:)
OK. Here goes…and this is just off the top of my head.
David,
Greece seems to have had a long and close association with you and other members of Pink Floyd. This is obviously reflected in the On an Island album and the fact that you have lived there. What is it about the country that attracts you so and in so doing, influences the music you write?
Cheers, Howard
No1 re Nicksters suggestion to meet in a private room
I personally don’t fancy that as I think we’ll have more fun in the Ritzy Bar and you never know whom we might see….Also it might be better to meet there as Brixton is a well dodgy area and as some of us are lone travellers, to my mind the Ritzy Bar seems safest, especially on a Saturday night, if you get my drift.
No2 re Geoff from Dublin
Brixton is miles from Strand. Get a taxi. It’ll be about £8. I hate the thought of you getting lost.
Love Cori
Hi Fed,
Here is my “new and improved” question :-):
David, at this stage of your career how do you handle a “moment of inspiration” and has that changed for you over the years? Do you drop everything and grab a guitar, make a note, hope you remember later…
Thanks for the opportunity Fed…and of course David!!!
[...]
Hope to be watching from Union Square, New York City
Thanks, Rob_P
FEd,
I’m afraid today has turned out to be a very very dark day. Due to circumstances beyond my control, I’m afraid my wife and I will not be able to travel to Brixton this weekend. I am extremely disappointed as I’m sure you can imagine, as I have been looking forward to this gig for quite some time. Plus I have to cancel our flights and accomodation.
I’m sure Geoff will continue to fly the Dublin flag high! But maybe somebody else can benefit from my loss and enjoy the tickets in our absence. I know it was stated only to apply for tickets if you were definitely going to go, but these circumstances were unforeseen. So I hope I haven’t p***ed you off too much. At least I got to see one of the shows…
Anyhoo, I’m going to curl up in a corner and cry like a baby for the next 4 days. Enjoy the show everyone!!
[Sorry to hear it, Brian. - Features Editor]

Hope you got my e-mail and phone message, GUTTED GUTTED GUTTED GUTTED oh and GUTTED.
Like I say my hopitality will be yours for any of the reds games and I am very grateful for you efforts

Hi Fed!
Thank you for the answer of my question!
Thank you that you give us this forum directly, questions to place and to get direct answers!!
I wish you a beautiful evening
(In the Cinemagnum Dresden (Germany) we could not buy this programme.)
Ina
[You're very welcome, Ina. You have a beautiful evening, too. - Features Editor]
Fed… Ooo Yippee…. WooHoo…..
Regarding the additional questions…
Does this mean that the “Have you had your WEM Speakers re-coned question” can get asked”?
I was going to apologise for taking the p*ss but I’d be telling porkies if I did…
(Porkies = Pork Pies = Lies)
[Sure. - Features Editor]
[Matt - Is your shark a Great White? Or that rarer variety called a Pink Floyd - Cori]
That is the “Quint”-essential shark joke Cori, bravo!
Fed, just a couple of thanks if i may…
thanks to you for the mail and all you do here, thanks to David & and all at davidgilmour.com for making this happen, thanks to our babysitters Theresa & Laura without whom we would not be able to attend on Saturday. We are really looking forward to the night and maybe meeting a few other members of this community.
Thanks again – that’s probably a bit of over kill… been watching too many award ceremonies
Regards,

Hi
I saw a shooting star, Saturday night. You probably know what my wish is.
Question: Can you define the difference between the power of a gig in front of 60 000 fans and the intimacy of a concert of 500, like the Mermaid, which I attended. (Lucky me).
I vote for the Ritzy bar as these Picturehouse cinemas are great places to hang out. I had a part time residence in the one in Southampton
Matt – Wait till you meet my parrot! Lol!
Love Cori xxx
Excellent news FEd!
See everyone there. Thanks again. It’s very good of the site to go to such efforts to ensure fans are looked after.
Home page stated opportunity for more questions for North America stay tuned to The Blog.
That was over the weekend. Now the banner is gone.
Being that it is Tuesday already and the show is Saturday, guess that isn’t happening. Would probably be a logistical nightmare too. Which is fine, just letting you know that some of us do read.
Thanks.
Andrew
[Look again. It says that "we are also taking additional questions for the North American premiere on The Blog this week". (Do you think there's just too much text? Serious question.) - Features Editor]
Thank you very much for the Q+A transcript.
I look forward to part 2.
O sure, update information after I sent out the last post.
Yes, I did see the mention on the latest news page in small print about additional questions as well. And now I see several other responses above (thank you Howard) that defines what is going on. I guess I was expecting another Blog entry for additional questions with new rules.
But please fess up, when you were informed about the additional questions was your reaction….
“Those bloody American radio stations….#@*!%”
O, and the transcript of the Q&A, that is slightly edited, isn’t it?
Thanks.
Andrew
[My reaction was something like that, yes. Don't know about the transcript. - Features Editor]
Can not wait until Saturday. I am a very happy man. Are the Tickets still been sent via Royal Mail?
Anthony
[Yes, they went out yesterday. UK only. - Features Editor]
Very nice to see the video in a higher resolution! A great performance!
I wonder if there are any shops around opening at midnight for the release this Sunday/Monday?
- James.
Hiya Fed. Me again!
I wasn’t sure if you meant us Brits could submit a question for David, but just in case we could, here’s mine:
Hello, David. Are you any good at keeping secrets and if so how hard was it to keep and who was involved.
Dead nosy me! hee hee.
Love Cori xxx
[Do you listen to American radio? I'm sure we could all pretend to. - Features Editor]
A friend of mine has had their question shortlisted to be part of the Q&A in the US/Canada and has received the first email notice but as of Friday has not received the second email with instructions for upload.
The first email said an e-mailed link would be sent on Friday, explaining where/how to upload all media. That was not true….
What does that mean Features Editor?
[It means that your friend has a problem with his e-mail, because details have been sent out and everyone else managed to receive them. Another e-mail has just been sent. As you seem to share the same e-mail address as your friend, maybe you can help him find it. - Features Editor]

David,
When was the last time a neighbor complained about you playing your guitar too loud?
Thanks for the Q&A page! No english people appreciated a lot. I appreciated!
I heard it was a great evening and David was in perfect form. And the 15th will be also more wonderful.
Ok, I start being envious. It could be an unforgettable night…
All the best
L!
Dear Mr FEd!
There is a mistake on the main page. The first photo of David playing guitar is labeled as “Castellorizon”, but the shot was made during the “Island Jam” performance.
David performed “Castellorizon” with his famous black Stratocaster, but on the photo he’s playing Gibson Les Paul.
Shine On!
Greetings from Russia!
Petrovich
[I'll pass your message on. Thank you. - Features Editor]
It looks a done deal already but I would endorse the Ritzy bar as a meet – the website suggests it’s open all day and as we all have to be there at the start-time why go anywhere else ? – I’m told they do jolly nice cake also ;-)
I’m hoping there are a few out there who read the Blog and are going to the Lloyd Cinema in Portland, Oregon to see the David Gilmour Concert and have an idea of where to meet before or after the showing.
If you know of a place, please post it so we all can meet up.
Take Care,
Thomas
Seems like the Ritzy Bar is going to be the place to be.
Just remember, too much liquid will cause you no end of grief during the performace
N
Hi Everyone
The bar at the Ritzy is really good, but it does pack out around film times.
If you want a less crowded place could try The Prince of Wales across the road is which OK ish.
Better still is the Satay Bar located on the outside of the Ritzy building – just walk down the street immediately left of the entrance.
Best of all is the Trinity Arms in Trinity Gardens. 5 mins walk with beer garden in lovely quiet sqare away from the hustle and bustle of busy Brixton High Street. Post code is SW9 8DR.
Be prepared for a very busy and crowded street between the tube and the Ritzy. Take your time and be patient and you’ll be fine – and its a very short walk to the Ritzy which is much less busy and has a nice open space in front of it.
Hope this helps.
Peter
Hello Raymond Lord…
I wish someone would ask me your question…”Can you define the difference between the power of a gig in front of 60,000 fans and the intimacy of a concert of 500, like the Mermaid”
My answer would be “At the smaller gigs there are less tw*ts shouting “WooHoo”, “Dave you rock” and “Bring it on home Dave”
[And wouldn't we all love to hear David saying that? - Features Editor]
“Is that a DVD or a CD sticking out of Davids head?”
It’s a Blu-ray, Gary, so it must be a HD-DVD…
I know it’s very close, but if one spare ticket does become available for the Ritzy I’d appreciate being considered ;-)
Thank You.

Hello FEd.
Apart from Castellorizon and Q&A will we be able to see the fantastic Jam? what I saw on fan footage is absolutely mind blowing.
[I don't know yet, sorry. I wouldn't have thought so. - Features Editor]
I know this is a little off topic but I’m so chuffed I just have to share it with you all.
Tonight I played the final league pool game of the season. We played a team from a nearby town, which was full of Welsh International Pool Players.
I only went and won both singles and doubles. I was congratulated by both teams as the player of the year.
Its very rare I’m extremely happy about something, but beating two Welsh Internationals in one night, signals the positivity of a great week ahead!
Happy Days!
[Well done, Simon. - Features Editor]
why were tickets for the tour sooooo much more expensive than a 12.50 ticket to a local cinema to see a show?
[Hmm, where do I start? (That's not a real question, is it?) - Features Editor]
Does David ever play any old stuff from his first two solo albums? And when writing new material where does he like to go to write?
My impressions of the first clip of Castellorizon:
Brilliant…but do we ever expect less! I love the idea of playing the track live as a lead-in to the dvd…. Well thought out too with the lighting and stuff (even the editing of it). I never thought the screening would get such a detailed production?….
I won’t add to the thanks and appreciation because it seems so cliché by now.
I have a ticket to Atlanta’s Regal Hollywood 24 Cinema showing of ‘Remember That Night’ this Saturday. I don’t need it since I’ll be at the Ritzy (!) but can’t figure out how to give it away. Looks like whoever picks up the ticket has to have my credit card to get it. I don’t THINK so! I’ll need to have the card with me so that I can buy rounds of drinks, won’t I?
Anyhow, if you’re near Atlanta and want a free ticket and can figure out how to make it work, maybe you could post a message here and we can sort it out? A long shot, I think….
Cheers, y’all,
Becky
Hi FEd and all,
This is all so exciting. Watching the videos and hearing all of your experiences has really made me excited for this weekend.
I really loved the Q&A. So glad to hear David has just begun his solo career. That means more music, more friends, and more memories, to come.
Just wondering if we will get a chance to see see the video of Island Jam. That was nice at the end of the Q&A to tease us all, seeing the guys get up stage. Or is this going to remain something special only for the people that were there?
Hope you are staying busy FEd
~Erin
[Wonder away. - Features Editor]
Well Fed if you are taking more Questions I would like to try again, Maybe I still have some luck left in me.
David, You have been playing concerts for almost forty years and I was wondering what is the most embarrasing thing that has happened to you while playing on stage.
Thank you Fed for another chance.
Thomas
For Ulli and her friends in London Ontario. I can meet you at Turtle Jack’s in Guelph prior to the show. It’s in the same mall on Woodland Ave. as the Galaxy theatre.
Fed, I won’t submit my question because of time restraints. I was personally devestated it was not chosen. But there was a reason, I think I know why. But it’s okay. Time will tell.
As for programs, will there be any for Sat. My address is [...]
[I have no idea what will be available on Saturday. I was told that there wouldn't be anything for Thursday and it turned out that there were these rather nifty booklets. In any sense, they were for fans attending cinemas in Europe and, for those who didn't get one for whatever reason, we are happy to provide one. Please see what's available for North America first. - Features Editor]
Dear Fed
Thank you so much. I’m honestly siiting at my desk shaking!!!
My guest is my husband Phil of the same address.
Monday is our 30th wedding anniversary so in anticipation of a wonderful DVD on the same day this will be a wonderful celebratory extra and to see David and all the other bloggers. Again it will be fantastic.
A toast to you Fed and thank you so much.

I thought I’d send you this to be polite and to thank you as my tickets arrived today.
So Fed, THANK YOU SO MUCH
P.S dont suppose you could send me a sedative so as to calm my brother down? He nearly tore the ticket as he got that excited.
Cheers Fed and hopefully we’ll see you there so I can buy a drink??

[You're more than welcome. I hope you both enjoy yourselves. - Features Editor]
Hiya Fed!!!!
Can I thank you for the vids of the Q&A and Castellorizon. Really smashing. I wish there was some how I could get them on my cell, cos of the problems I have with my computer.
Re the Ritzy Bar – well we’ll see you there on Saturday.
I’m worried about Geoff getting lost so will you please pass my cell number to him which is [...] and if he can’t find his way, and ends up in Timbuctoo, he can always ring for directions. See how benevolent I am!!!
Have a smashing day, Fed. I really hope you can pop and say Hi to us all.
Haven’t got tickets yet, BTW!!!!!!

Dear Fed and All.
I gotta tell you that I just found out there is an Arnold Lane, in Nottingham. There’s a pub down there called The Grey Goose and this is a link to a map of the area (click my name).
Fancy me living near Arnold Lane. What will the neighbours say!
HA HA HA!

Could somebody call me by telephone when David will play at the cinema?
It’s a f***** sad thing I can’t be there.
Ciao;)

Dear FEd,
Thank you so very much. We had two very excited young boys here this morning when our tickets arrived for Saturday’s Premiere (and also one very excited much older boy). We can not thank you enough for the tickets. Thank you.
Something worth passing on to other attendees that I just found out is according to the London Underground website on Saturday 15 and Sunday 16 September the Victoria line is suspended between Victoria and Brixton replaced by a bus service. So if anyone is coming along that route, as we are, you are going to need to allow extra time.
Thank you once again FEd, thank you, thank you, thank you. Just can’t wait until Saturday.
[You're welcome, David - have a great time. Thanks for the travel update. - Features Editor]
Nice new wire man on front page Fed.
Hope everyone has a great time this weekend, wish I could be there with you guys but I’ll be there in mind and heart. Plus Tracy will be there representing for us in NC. Sure hate to miss meeting all you guys but one day I will, I’m going to get a passport so I will be ready next time!!!
Have a Blessed Day
Clarice
F’Ed just to let you know that our Ritzy tickets have just landed on the door mat. Thank you once again!
As far as the tube problems that day, an alternative is to travel Northern Line to Stockwell and walk down – not too far – to the cinema.
We are contemplating driving but are a little concerned about availability of secure parking near the cinema – if anybody has any suggestions on that front we’d really appreciate it.
Are you sneaking in the back Saturday F’Ed?
[No, I won't be there, but I hope you all have a fantastic time. - Features Editor]
[It's a f***** sad thing I can't be there. - Emi]

Thanks a lot for the videos in the homepage. In a way or another, we have seen David…better than nothing!

Got my ticket this morning!
Thanks again to FEd and all at One Fifteen.
Did Becky say ’rounds’?
[Look again. It says that "we are also taking additional questions for the North American premiere on The Blog this week". (Do you think there's just too much text? Serious question.) - Features Editor]
I just think it is not as structured as I would expect. Dedicated Blog entry with instructions such as “No questions on PF reunion or personal nature, more than one question will be deleted, Send name, location, I am attending blah, blah, blah….” What we have come to expect from our fearless FEd. It is kinda of burried. It is mentioned in passing and even if you read everything you can still miss it. Trust me, I perfectly understand why as the “official” window has passed and this is just an accommodation or like we say in business “an exception.”
Also, faithful followers of the Blog knew weeks ago what was going on. And reading between the lines let me say you have approached this in rather polite English way. The window is opened to ask a question but you’re just not going to make it simple. Which is fine because even though this does create the potential for more disappointed people (because I sense that the odds of someone submitting a question that is just “too good to ignore” is slim at best), it also creates a possible logistical nightmare to implement so late in the game.
I asked my question already and I can certainly come up with 20 or 30 more but I’m not going to.
Thanks.

[If American radio listeners hear that they can leave a question for David at David's official site, they'll find a way, and a place, to leave that question. The rest of you had your chance. If we make a big song and dance out of it (again), there will suddenly be lots of questions... and quality is always better than quantity, particularly at this late stage. - Features Editor]

Thanks Cori. I know Brixton, it’s fine. I should be ok, so I should.

Thanks F’Ed
Can’t make the cinema show this weekend due to grouse hunting season opener. David being the hunter/fisherman himself, knows where I’m coming from.
Anywho, got the DVD on preorder to hold me over for the Bluray.
Have a great weekend all!
I seem to remember you mentioned in a recent post that there would be a (updated?) list of the RTN release dates coming soon. Is there any news on this and is the UK release still scheduled for 17th Sept? I’m taking the 17th off work so that I can have several hours of uninterrupted access to my DVD and TV whilst my kids are at school!!
Many thanks
[There should be news about the different European release dates later today. It's still Monday for the UK, though. (And yes, before anyone asks, it's still Tuesday for the US.) - Features Editor]
Hiya Rudders.
I live in Bulwell, Nottingham and know Bestwood quite well.
Going up that way in search of Arnold Lane so that I can have my pic taken with the street sign.
Another bit of Nottingham Nonsense is at the bottom of my road is a disused pit that used to make those flat topped nails called Brads. So now I tell people I live near Brad Pit and its the truth. Lol.
love Cori xxx
