I think thats the only reason we got any money at all; clearly his wife knows nothing about what's been going on (including an attempt late last night to get into her room...) so I think he managed to persuade his wife to hand over half now.

Hey Ruth, I really hope you'll be ok hun *hugs*

Az, Djred is right, it sounds like he needs to learn a lesson!

 

03/08/09 12:53 PM

@sonia: I think you are both right.
hopefully a letter demanding the remainder to be paid with legal implications to follow will be enough to make him lose some serious sleep...
just as we were leaving, we got a text from a friend who works in bankruptcy: if he fails to pay up, apparently the court can force him into bankruptcy, just for £150!!! guess what we're gonna be doing over the next few days... winking smiley

edit: lolz, just realised I typed that up as a tweet!! grinning smiley

edit 2: don't know if it was mentioned as a 'rumour' or not, but NIN/JA have been confirmed for Oxygen festival, announced on XFM radio this morning
still, its a festival, so I'm not too excited... sad smiley

Good luck Az, I hope things work out.

I was just reading the UK festivals thread, it's a complete bunfight.... I truly hope what I've heard comes to fruition, then I think people will be mostly happy winking smiley It seems NIN have been confirmed for Sonisphere but it appears not JA?! Someone is claiming NIN are playing Reading/Leeds & T in the park but that just doesn;t look very likely *shrugs*

Right, I'm off to watch Dancing on Ice grinning smiley Don't care if it's cool or not, I just LOVE it!!!

 

03/08/09 1:02 PM

*endorse both sonia and Djred*

It's appalling what goes on nowadays and how the 'innocent' are screwed by the unscrupulous but quite often redress isn't always possible.

IT STINKS


.... and thanks sonia. So do I - but I'm scared to hell right now of what the future holds sad smiley

Yeah, I think it's on the Oxygen site now... the reason it's all getting a bit frantic in the UK festi thread seems to be around exclusivity, some people think if NIN play a festival they can't also do their own gigs, all sounds like complete bollox to me - going to sit back and wait grinning smiley

Thirdly...

Another afternoon spent job hunting for hubby/depressed/fending off futility... sad smiley All this on top of a hangover! Hooray! eye rolling smiley

Reality has just kicked in and i will limit myself to one nin gig (which sucks since i am convinced this is THE END) Yet-- i should feel lucky to go at all, all things considered.

My finger/toe crossing doesn't seem to be helping at all - I must focus more. I'm glad that yr going to go to one hun. Yes, it's a luxury, but you also need something like that just to keep you 'afloat' in hard times...

But I really don't think this is the end...

Thank You, Reality for yet another kick in the teeth: Just discovered tix for the KCity gig are $36.50 ---> $150 (!!!) eye popping smiley i may not be able to go at all now.

LiTS, (which was a superbly elaborate tour) tix were $45 to $55 as a comparison...


So IF this is an amphitheatre, i am guessing the $36 is for LAWN, which SUCKS...and the $150 are for anything remotely good. Wonder what the pit costs?

BTW, completely forgot to mention that i do believe Nine Inch Nails is well worth $150....my rant was more to do with the fact of my own poor circumstances in regards to downgrading from 2 shows to 1, and now, to possibly not going to any.


smiling smiley

 

03/08/09 3:39 PM

(I'll post more tomorrow coz I really MUST go bedwards right now!)

I really, really, really hope that there will be some non-festival gigs lined up for the European/British part of the tour.

I absolutely HATE festivals and v. much doubt I will be able to go if that's our only NIN Gig Option. I think I echo a fair few bods in here when I say that shelling out £100+ just to see a couple of bands is not value-for-money IMVHO...

sad smiley


*sighs* That said, I can claim some of it back off tax, but even so...

 

03/08/09 4:15 PM

Sorry to hear your upcoming visit by nin looks to be festival laden guys. Maybe you'll get some last minute sideshows if you're lucky?
But any opportunity for everyone to get together for all the fun of a tour is totally worth it!

03/08/09 4:17 PM

I don't think this is the end of Nine Inch Nails. smiling smiley

Hello everyone, you don't seem too happy today. I hope tomorrow brings you good cheer. *radiates positive energy*

By the way, I was wondering, does Minty the Sheep still exist? eye rolling smiley

agree on the ironing front - i actually wear a 3-piece suit to work just to hide the fact that my shirts not ironed!
I have trouble imagining you in a suit, az!
Bah, you've seen me wearing a suit.

I have a sudden urge to go to the Toronto show in June. Not entirely sure where this has come from, but that's the one I've currently got my eye on!

No, Minty is no more. Jeordie saw to that.
Funny, it seemed like such a good idea to buy an inflatable sex toy from a vending machine the men's toilets at the time!
