IJM

I lived in Edmonton during this particularly cold spell: http://climate.weather.gc.ca/climate_data/hourly_data_e.html?hlyRange=1961-01-01|2012-04-12&dlyRange=1959-05-01|2012-04-11&mlyRange=1959-01-01|2012-04-01&StationID=1865&Prov=AB&urlExtension=_e.html&searchType=stnName&optLimit=specDate&StartYear=2009&EndYear=2009&selRowPerPage=25&Line=2&searchMethod=contains&Month=12&Day=13&txtStationName=Edmonton&timeframe=1&Year=2009 Summers could be pretty nice though!

Good suggestions! I used to frequent those places in my time in London.

" Upstairs, Downstairs ! "

Has the game started early ?!

Looks a bit like Ian Rush!

No, it's Monty Python!

I think he still posts on the TAMB.

DoonTheSlope - if you are still considering USA and/or Canada, for visiting the USA had you heard about this? https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ Also, Canada is bringing in their own version of the ESTA in March: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/visas.asp

Feb 21 Louisville, KY KFC Yum! Center There are some strange venue names nowadays........

Daft Punk off to the Hearts game?

Richard's brother ?

Have read up a bit more - indifferent league form plus defeats to Airdrie and Rangers in the domestic cups, and to BK1903 Copenhagen in the UEFA Cup.

I recall that he was sacked mid-season, possibly the season after the final day defeat at Ibrox? Possibly some poor cup results helped to seal his fate?

Those crazy Canadians have combined fitba and golf: http://www.edmontonjournal.com/Footgolf+quicker+cheaper+easier+play+than+golf/11244529/story.html

No. Are you thinking of giving it a try?

Aye, a few folk have tried to drag me along to see Blue Rodeo, but have managed to avoid them. You remember Paul Weller at Crystal Palace in the late 90s (?). Thought Weller's set was a bit dull, but the support groups were OK - Republica (their singer was a fox), and Skunk Anansie. Was a bit underwhelmed by BB King about 3 years ago, yeah I know he was around 85 years old then, but the show mainly involved him chatting away to the audience in the front few rows, with a wee bit of guitar playing thrown in. Show was about 1hr 20mins.

Rick Wakeman and Brian May (after getting a haircut)?

Meatloaf and Tony Mowbray?

A slimmer and less-tanned Jimmy Calderwood on the right?

Louise Redknapp?!

"George Dawes, what are the scores?"

I noticed they are touring the UK and Canada later this year - thought Robert Fripp had given up on live performances?

Hope you get to see the Northern Lights. I live in Western Canada (Edmonton) and got my red alert email tonight as well. There have been a few of these alerts already this year - here are some nice photos (not taken by me though!): http://www.aurorawatch.ca/content/view/188/1/

A seven year holiday?!
