Joopsy - WTF is a Boston Gliderdrome?

Son is at Brum Uni so I'm not sure if Nottingham will float his boat or not.

Ah, thought it'd be up your neck of the woods.

Speaking of Idles (which I wasn't) and my eldest (which I was) - they were his choice this week for our musical challenge - with me and his brother: listen to an album of each's choosing.

Anyway, I mostly didn't like it, but at the Electric Six gig on Friday there was a bloke in the crowd, who had clearly been working out. He was like a one man mosh pit as he chucked himself around. But the great thing was he had a magnificent 70s style Kevin Keegan perm. And I thought 'So that's who Idles are singing about'. They get an extra point from me for that.

I considered taking a surreptitious pic but thought if he spotted me he would tear my arms off.

It is in Lincs McG and appears to be a bingo hall.

I’m seeing Idles tomorrow if I’m well enough.

Out last night to see We Were Promised Jetpacks at Scala. Flipping sold out. Plenty of "very excited" chaps who had been getting very excited for many hours. Place was bouncing from the off. Then (after not finding out what was in the attic again) at 10.05 I had to leave to get the last strike day train home.

Boston Gliderdrome was once an iconic venue. The name comes from its erstwhile role as a roller rink:

Got FT tickets for Boston and Rock City.

Idles were superb last night, despite a crowd of mainly aggressive, bald, angry men who seem to have missed the understanding of the band and their lyrics.
