I have to agree with you Blckpool is blackpool I went to a show in the NECC althought there was more room in there. Something was missing it took me a while to see the punters drove in that morning and drove home that night so the comedians I have met over the years never realy got started they were all sober. Not that all were drunk but it's different with a cup of tea in your hand, some guy's just need a couple to get them going and then everyone's at it.
All the years I have been going to blackpool I have always driven this year we got a bus with a driver (not me) so will get a (soft) ;) ;) drink to keep me happy.
Looking forward to meeting a lot of members from the forum so can put faces to names.
The fact Blackpool has so much diverse accomodation makes it more attractive to all so roll on 15 / 16 / 17 them it's all over for another year back home (if we can get home) for the snow to pair up and do the most exciting event in pigeon keeping rearing new babies (my favourite job)
