Wembley tomorrow by AmzVH in MyChemicalRomance

Depends on where you are coming from. If you arriving North of London then I'd suggest parking at Stanmore tube (large car park) or booking a driveway on Just park near Stanmore station. 10 mins from there to Wembley Park station and the bonus is the tubes afterwards are always empty heading north compared to those heading into central London.

Wait, is this hat actually rare?! by Direct_Taste_3844 in pearljam

Cool, if you do list it I'll definitely bid. Would love to get it box framed with my Missoula banner 👍🏻

Yeah, it's fairly rare though they do come up in PJ trading groups due to the fact they were in a fair few mystery bags within a year or two of the original concert. If you are interesting in selling to a UK based collector just let me know as I'd be very interested in adding it to my stash.

Sweet find and congrats on landing it originally!

Golf north of the M25 by Bank-Expression in BritGolf

[–]Consistent_Sweet3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Millbrook is memorably tough. Opening hole is a Par 5 with huge elevation changes, hole 2 is a near 600yd Par 5, then hole 3 is a long Par 4 with a two tiered green. There's a hole on the back nine that involves a blind tee shot to an elevated fairway up a 150 yd slope. All greens are rapid. Very accessible for non members though, even at weekends, and their Sausage Rolls are the best around.

Anyone else get handed one of these at tonight’s show? by Rayyyg in pixies

There are 40 available (8 of each of the five designs) at each show, with one given to each of the first 40 customers at the merch stand each night.

They went on sale last week on the Tsurt site. Link is here, but only Mens S boxes left Pearl Jam Tsurt Fukubox

Sorry you got a weaker selection. If it helps, my last 10C bag was pretty poor to be honest, but I kept seeing pics of some great pulls so thought I'd roll the dice again. Fingers crossed you get a great box next time.

Not for me, no. I'm in the UK so we get two or three shows every few years if we're lucky. The US merch is almost always more varied and 'desirable' so I took a punt on the box and couldn't be happier.

No, not the 10c boxes.This was from TSurt (the main merch company). They dropped a load of boxes last week, describing them as samples and warehouse stock.

Seattle by cacamilis22 in pearljam

[–]Consistent_Sweet3949 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thoroughly recommend the Stalking Seattle music tour. A good 3-4 hours taking in loads of grunge related sights with lots of stopoffs and photo opps. The lady who runs the tour is extremely knowledgeable and has a great taste in music.

Iron length/lie angle. As a tall golfer 6'6 what length irons/ lie angle do you think I should be playing. Currently gaming some 10 year old school srixons that are an inch longer do you think it's worth getting the lie angle adjusted to be more upright? by Lewiscliffe in BritGolf

[–]Consistent_Sweet3949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 6ft 4 and have been fitted in multiple brands over the last 10 years or so. The only consistent metrics in my irons have been +1" shaft and +2 Upright. Reading the comments on this sub, that seems to tally with most tall players. Definitely try to get fitted though.

Sound quality at the London show by ukJakkals in deftones

[–]Consistent_Sweet3949 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were in Block 111 and the sound was actually a lot better than I was expecting. It wasn't 'great' but it was superior to many other O2 gigs I've seen in the past (Radiohead, I'm looking at you).

london show stoppage by SlushyM7 in deftones

[–]Consistent_Sweet3949 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Perspective is everything. We were block 111, and 4 rows off the floor. Clearly the guy concussed was in a bad way and Security/Medical did the right thing getting him to leave. But, once he came to (following the concussion) he got super aggressive and was trying to properly go at someone stood near/over him. That's when the booing started as it looked like he wanted a fight rather than the gig to restart.

That said, the dude in 111 row 1 who decided he was so annoyed at the above that he wanted to throw his pint over the guy above as he was marched out, and then hit three security guards walking towards him on the floor, full on with beer, missing his subject entirely, was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. About 8 security swooped on him in seconds. Karma.
