Oh I know that guy, and he was being facetious. Me and him are very much looking forward to Postcards. However, I still believe his wit is prophetic.

That sounds about right actually. It's good to know that will never happen.

Yeah, we just need to find something for James. I was going to suggest he could play the role of the Tradis, but if if the JDBAS are to be believed, he's bigger on the outside than he is on the inside...

good luck to everyone who entered to this competition, Sony, as usual, dislikes fans not from the UK.

I'd love to watch his script and obviously that would be the best Doctor Who episode ever. I can say that even without watching that <3

Not applying due to being in Poland that day to see the Horrors. I should have had a word with Martin Hall the other day about this constant clashing of Horrors/ Manics gigs. Good luck to everyone who has entered!

I've just realised that I entered this competition on the basis that if I win I would give the tickets away as there is no way I could get to London in mid week. Trouble is I should have knocked 30 years off my age because who on here would pass for a 50 year old

It's a bit ridiculous that they're notifying the winners with like 2 days to organise travel/accomodation. Even if they'd ended it on Monday I'm sure they would have got enough entries to chose from

List of technical things the MSP team have gotten wrong over the years:
  • Websites
  • DVD extras (lack of)
  • Extra content on DVD roms (lack of)
  • Spelling/grammar on CD sleeves
  • The actual colour of the vinyl (An English Gentleman 'Red Vinyl' release)
  • Websites
  • Actual dates that competitions close
  • Streaming tracks on websites

Can anyone think of any more?

Yeah I agree. Well it says 'by the latest' so jesus you'd hope they give at least a week. I mean why not get the draw done theday and notify people tomorrow instead of dragging it out to high doe.
Or do they want the audience to be full of London fans or something?

Have entered. I'm off work that week so this would be nice.

Just hope if I do win, I have time to sort out travel and accommodation and that its not too expensive.

Not to be harsh, but I guess they have the luxury of picking and choosing...if you aren't prepared to be able to organise it at short notice, I guess you don't have to enter?

Course people are going to organise it at the last moment cause we're stupid fans who'll do anything But they could at least give people the courtesy of a bit of time. A weeks notice knocks loads of train fares and if you were staying over you're gambling a bit with vacancies within the vacinity of the mystery venue, not that it's likely that every hotel in the whole of central London would be booked up like but y'know. If I got tickets I'd probably just drive there and back on the same day avoid all that.

My wages go in just before the gig and they'll be coming right out if I win.
If I win I'll definitely be there, but it's the fact there's not so much time to prepare to go down to London.
