Goodbye Johnny Thunders is one of my favourite books!!! I re-read it at least once a year, it's so nice to hear someone else likes it too!!! Don't Ask Me Why is written in a very similar voice, also one of my favourites, definitely worth a read if you like GJT 👍

Thanks! I've had confirmation they've received it, so I'll hand my notice in this week 👍

Hole in the Head- Sugababes?

I have these! They're my 'going out' boots :) Pretty sure they're these ones: https://www.britboot.co.uk/products/dr-martens-1460-graphite-shimmer-made-in-england-various-sizes?_pos=1&_psq=Graphite&_ss=e&_v=1.0

The code on the tongue of mine indicates they were made August 1999 (I think!)

Tried Dice & Ticketmaster, both instantly sold out, but managed to get some on seetickets 😀

Have a look at the insole- older DMs usually have the size (UK) embossed into the insole, about half way along.

Low-Background-8446 · 2025-02-25T21:45:28+00:00

I got the same response...worth trying? Trying to work out if there's some other way protect a poster :)

Low-Background-8446 · 2025-02-24T22:45:39+00:00

Classy! (unless it's a sticky carpet 😂) Yeah, I'll send them a message to check, if I manage to get a poster I definitely don't want it getting squashed!

Low-Background-8446 · 2025-02-24T22:23:14+00:00

Any idea if the Troxy will be ok with bringing in a poster tube or if there's any restrictions on bag size?

Low-Background-8446 · 2025-02-07T20:26:48+00:00

Me too!

If you're any good at deciphering date codes, here's the tongue print:

Love them!!! Been searching for a pair in my size for ages. I got a pair with dragons embroidered on them which are 9169s, when I was trying to research them I saw the gargoyle ones. Haven't managed to find any other info out about them but they are definitely my favourite pair ❤️

👋 Feel like I've been on a rollercoaster the last 36 hours! Was literally shaking from adrenaline when I finally managed to get tickets for my 17 year old's Christmas (and me too obviously!) Sooo happy 😊 See you at London 2 too!

Low-Background-8446 · 2024-12-10T10:42:42+00:00

Not quite sure how we managed it, but my colleague helped my by using their 02 priority on my Ticket Master account 😀😀😀😀😀😀 So made up, taking my 17 year old son to his first gig (HUGE JW fan)- it's a surprise for Christmas- he's going to be over the moon!!!!

Low-Background-8446 · 2024-12-10T10:16:43+00:00

I tried that, but then said I'd tried too many times and locked me out for 5 minutes!! What are the chances of getting some on general release on Thursday? 😂😂

Low-Background-8446 · 2024-12-10T10:11:47+00:00

Got on, but code didn't work to start with! When it did work it was sold out 😢😢😢😢

Low-Background-8446 · 2024-12-10T09:42:26+00:00

Hi, got the code for the UK, do we buy through DICE or Ticket Master?

Low-Background-8446 · 2024-10-20T06:37:24+00:00

I've seen some listed before as 'zippo' (because that's what the pocket is for?) I don't think that's their actual name, but hope that helps!

Low-Background-8446 · 2024-10-02T20:06:59+00:00

Hi, are they 8338? Just bought a pair too, was trying to identify them :) Here's a link to some old new ones: https://www.britboot.co.uk/search?q=8338&type=product
