So thats about 23 million people who can apply on Thursday! Actually O2 customers get advance tickets for loads of events as a perk of being contracted to them. Many times I’ve wanted to buy tickets for various events and have been hunting around for someone who is on O2 just to get access to priority tickets. Even thought about taking out a cheap O2 contract just for this perk. They only allocate a certain number of priority tickets to O2 customers as well, the rest are sold at normal time to the rest of the public.

I do have an o2 contract (£6 a month for my son) so I might see if I can get some PK tickets, flip them to a mug for a profit. (I won’t) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted November 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 9, 2022 This Peter Kay mania is a revelation to me. I mean, I knew he was fairly popular, but not on this scale. It's very much like when I discovered that Ed Sheeran wasn't at the "Third on the bill in the acoustic tent at Glasto" level, but was selling out multiple nights at Wembley. Staggering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I assume he’ll be raking in about a million per show, but pretending to be working class living in a 3 bed semi and driving a 10 year old Renault Megane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's phenomenally popular. You can save a fortune though, by simply remembering things for yourself. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s plenty of things that aren’t for me, but I can see why other people might like it. That show leaves me perplexed though, why would anyone find it funny? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, there has been many a person who couldn't work out why my own (irish) parents never found it funny or even related to it when their english friends thought it was a hilarious programme 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Amazon seems to have ruined its music now. They have unlocked all their songs “for free” but you can no longer just listen to what you want. If you ask Alexa to “play songs by [artist]” she replies with “playing songs by [artist] and similar artists” It’s the same if you ask her to play a pre-made playlist. It becomes “your playlist and similar artists” I really hope there’s a way to turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted November 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 10, 2022 My train into Manchester is an hour late and rather than wait on the platform I've gone to the pub next door. Never been in here before but I appear to have walked into a Beatles museum that also sells beer. I can see at least 30 different photos of them in the small section I've hidden away in with loads more in the rest of the pub. Don't think I'll be in here again anytime soon.
