My boy plays a lot of (Field) Hockey and we got to watch the men's 9/10 and 7/8 classification matches between Ghana and Scotland & Canada and Pakistan respectively. A fun day out, despite a 5am start. The matches were at the University of Birmingham Hockey pitches, the university my son attended and was extremely well organised, thanks to a wonderful team of volunteers. My son thought he had tickets for the semis which are these evening, but unfortunately they had sold out when he realised his mistake. I would have liked to have seen the England v Australia semi, but that only finishes about 10pm anyway, so I hope to watch it on TV. It was a glorious day, I caught a little too much son, luckily Ed, my son, knows some excellent hostelries where we could cool off with a pint and a good pub lunch. I have not been to a major international sporting tournament before and it was a super day out. NICE 7

I am not judgmental at all, and I truly like to share what I'm listening to ...to like minded folks ...as well as hear what they're listening to. I guess the big difference now after over 60 years on this Earth is that I no longer give a %$#& if people think my selections are cool or not... 2 hours ago, gasman1003 said: Just as well..

Iron Maiden - 2 Minute to Midnight / Rainbow's Gold 2014 BMG / Sanctuary reissue I saw them for the first time at a Day on The Green in Oakland, early 80s. They brought out that monster which at the time I thought was only for that show. Turns out they do it at all their shows according to my nephew. 7

So much easier to keep the weight off back then. I swear, back then if I skipped dinner the night before I'd wake up with six pack abs the next day. 4 3
