I got that impression too, I thought they had been following the tour around. I have never seen the hecklers before and I go to just about every brit show.
I wasnt at the last show, but I was at the one before that, with the new pornographers. Everything was all smiles then.
BTW, do you like: Biking, Music, Gardening ?

Love all 3 - I bike to work so get about 80-100 miles a week under my belt, as for music, well I think most people on this board are seriously into their music - don't know what I'd do without music, and gardening is one of the only things that truly relaxes me coz I'm a bit wound up most of the time but I love scratching around in the dirt getting my hands dirty

So did you buy a Mini, or a car at all? Mankie who posts here used to sell them.
I am going to need a car soon, but I probably cannot wait the time it takes to ge a mini……..

Oh I could kiss you……
Actually I need to wait till my visa thing is done or not. Probably about a month or so or not? Then I think I will need a car almost instantly to get to work or get deported in which case a car wont help much.
I just want to get a cooper in manual. No S for me……..
I would much rather get a mini than a golf or impreza. It would be real handy for parking in the hood.

ha ha - I ended up not buying it - the wife has yet to forgive me - she had her heart set on it
but if we ever decide to get one again I'll let you know mankie - is it true they're coming out with a soft top and a stretch mini (were they called clubmans years ago) in a year or so?

markie…let me know when you're ready and I'll hook you up.
That's so very nice of you Mankie……
As for mini, well the platform was expensive to develop and the name cost them a lot, so BMW are planning on spinning off a series of derivatives to make more money. The convertible will happen…..
But isnt 2006 the year that mini will update its platform and can get rid of the Chrysler engines?

the frames were great last night. totally different set from the last few times i've seen them. i talked to rob after (birthday boy) and he said it was tuesday and raining, hence the somber set list. i would have loved to hear revelate and fitzcarraldo though. i just hope the recording my friend made came out well. some beautiful and different redentions of concert standards that the lads did.
poor markie was there by his lonesome sitting in a corner looking forlorn when i got there so i took him under my wing for a bit as i was there with a bunch of people. really, you should have seen him. looked like a little boy and a bully had just stolen his stuffed rabbit and ripped off the ear or something. :( poorlulu, he suffers without you present! :D
anyone think the second half of calexico's set was better? i just couldn't get into them for the first hour. i'd like to see them again and re-evaluate.
pretty impressive night though. 45 minutes of the frames and 2 hours of calexico for $15! excellent!
