If they announce Prodigy and Post Malone in the first drop I’m practically happy regardless of the rest. And these seem very likely. No Posigy clue in the email tho…? -
Got tickets. Booked flights and reserved seats. Had leave approved. Booked accommodation for the entire trip. It's been an expensive month, but I've never had it all sewn up so early. Looking forward to getting past the financial sting and enjoying what's to come as a sunk cost. -
I took a risk this year and booked my flights a few days before ticket sale (I could change the dates afterwards if I wasn't successful). I'm thankful I did because the flights I booked for $1,632 are now selling for $2,871. Feels good to have it all sorted so early.

smarter to keep it small as Cruel World is 30,000 if it was sold out in the space it takes place in. -

The building maintenance and construction industry is notorious for corruption, the world over. I once had a contractor ask me directly if I wanted to 'go in with him' in robbing my employer. As my employer was a housing charity, and because of a sense of decency, I refused his, very generous, offer. I already knew of a way that it could be done without even the FBI, Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG), or any other forensic sleuth could ever have nailed me (and the contractor) as by the time any invoice was raised, all evidence would have disappeared. I asked the contractor if this was the system that he proposed would have been used. he agreed that it was. he had spotted it too. So, what did I do? I told him 'No' that's not what I wanted. What I wanted was for him to stop taking the piss so much with his prices, and then we'd all be happy ie. I wouldn't get on his case in a deranged obsessive manner. You have to realise that there was one of me, and he had between 12 and 15 blokes working on my contract at any one time. That's like me going out to play a game of rugby against a full team of rugby players. well, who's going towin that match? It's a no brainer that the contractor would win. However, he also knew that if he didn't comply then I'd probably have devoted my life to nailing him to the cross. So he backed off with the excessive prices. The thing is though - it's not just the building industry where this goes on. It's every industry where there's a glut of money swashing about. It's local and national government too. it's everywhere - always has been and always will be.
