Music or Rugby

I'd buy £20 worth of crack for my kids before a ticket to Embrace .....

Music is way more important, throughout growing up Music has been at times a source of joy/solace and comfort, Rugby only gives me angst lol, even when we won the league in Cardiff it was Angst all the way. £20 to go and watch a band like Embrace or £20 to watch the Scarlets.. sorry Embrace all the time...... TROLL

Less injuries in music. Mind you tighter drugs checks in rugby.

I'd rather watch Scarlets than go to see my favourite band live. The crowd and folk you meet at the rugby are much more chatty and likeminded than gig-goers, by and large. There's more emotion and unpredictability about a Scarlets match than a concert. Music, you can download it; buy the cd or dust off the vinyl. You know the songs but no concert can match the drama and the emotion of say Harlequins away last year. Or, inversely, the stunned surreal feeling of escaping with a last kick (Rhys ) draw away to Zebre, when the team played a bit like a car in limp home mode.

Remind yourself of that when you take your other half to a gig that she's attending just to humour you! However, in concerts everybody wins, there's no losing.

My reply to Iwlew is better read with the two paras round the other way!

Have just been reminded that said other half might well continue to remind you about that for years to come, as well

Watching BBC4 now and hearing Rick Wakeman reminds me of the story he told about Yes composing one of their albums. They'd decided to hide away in a French Chateau and compose the next masterwork.

Working and playing hard, they enjoyed the red wine plenty. After a while, they noticed that the bottles had changed and suddenly the band had a wine label named after them.

They were touched by this gesture and said so. in reply, the maitre d' said, "Oh M'sieur, c'est normal after drinking 2,000 bottles"!
