Once again, a lot of these are all a great singular killer line as per the explanation at the beginning of this thread :roll: I nominate every word of every song Elvis has ever written :lol: . Particularly the word "the" which has been used to great effect on many occasions although someti...

Hargreaves for Old Trafford! Wouldn't have said that pre-germany, but he was a surprise star player there. Very solid. We'll have him, please. I agree in that I did not think he merited a place in the England team and could not see what Sven saw in him. Hargreaves' play in the last few matches has ...

Well if they haven't sold tickets for the Wednesday show after all this time I daresay one would be able to get tickets on the night for the Thursday.

125 songs in three nights is impossible, even for Elvis! It was probably 125 different songs over the 6 nights. Thinking about it it wouldn't have been a total of 125 songs over the first three nights. The Songbook Shows were fantastic. Whilst Elvis resurrected the idea in part on the Spike tour - ...

It's England's first match under the new boss tonight. I am pleased David Beckham is not included. I was wondering if Steve Maclaren had wanted to omit Beckham in the past and had not exactly received support from Sven. This led me to think that Beckham knew he was on his way out after the World Cup...

That junction southbound on the M11 is a nightmare.

Shame to hear about the points on your licence.

Why don't you buy a stretch limo for the family instead. Just to add that touch of class :lol:

But if you follow the link it only directs you to the 6th September show. If you do a search on the ticketmaster site there is no link for the 7th either. :?

I know what a Magic-8 ball is. I just wanted to know if it had settled. The answer might be different if you ask it again (although I doubt it somehow!).

I once groped a man I thought was my husband. I mean, like seriously groped, in a very personal way. And I whispered some very filthy things in his ear. I have really never gotten over it. My victim probably hasn't, either. I quite enjoyed it actually :wink: Well, more than "quite" to be ...

The go-go cage was there and the telly with the parrot cage - and he did show us his slide show collection at one point - lots of extended, amusing chat - before doing Tokyo Storm Warning. And Elvis would stop the song at various points of Tokyo Storm Warning to explain the references in the song. ...

Friendlies don't really mean anything though. I was watching the Liverpool v Grasshoppers game a couple of weeks ago and the commentators were talking about the players heart rate monitors and how they were just building up fitness levels.
