Janty Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I can't mock. Me 'n Him Indoors are going to see Ken Dodd in October. Seen him before and he is absolutely hysterical. I have heard lots of good things about Ken Dodd's shows. Apparently in Lowestoft, they couldn't get him off the stage. I tried to get tickets to take my Dad but they sold out straight away.

Seagazer Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 You go girl - I saw all the Osmonds in concert recently - Jimmy was brilliant. The did a slow build up of long haired lover from liverpool and it got quicker and quicker (with a clip running in the background of him singing it when he was a little boy). Enjoy your panto!!

BeckyBoo Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Jimmy Osmond? Ken Dodd? Spice Girls? Can I just say here and now that I don't know any of you. Never spoken to any of you before and if anyone contradicts that statement I will deny EVERYTHING Mrs B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Who are you all ? What have you done with the real Omleteers ? (Except you Mrs B , you're obviously a "real" Omleteer, along with my good self ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 In my own defence...the tickets for Ken Dodd were given to Him Indoors as a birthday present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Shhh, dont tell anyone but when I was little I LOVED Jimmy. I had the single of long haired lover on repeat on the record player and would cry if my poor long suffering mum would try to take it off. In my defence, I think I was about 2 at the time. The old entertainers are often the best though. We have seen Keith Harris and Orville in panto and I laughed till I cryed. He was excellent and incredibly funny. Bob Carolgees and Spit the dog were also highly entertaining! (sorry ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I like going to UEA in Norwich and seeing the 80s pop stars. Human League were hilarious. Susan whatserface did a country style solo bit and she obviously thinks that she can sing. Bless! On the plus side, Soft Cell were amazing. Never seen so much leather and pvc in one room before but that's another story! Erasure, as always were great. They were supported by one of the blokes from OMD who was also good. Went to see Divine Comedy with hubby when I hadn't been seeing him long and didn't feel that I could tell him to get lost. Never been so bored in my life. I tell you. I heard a song called Sweden...I think I would wish for death rather than hear it again. Awful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 In the past, I've seen Bros, New kids on the block, Black Lace, The Grumble weeds, The Crankies, Little & large & The Drifters. I've seen some none shameful too! Can't you tell we used to go Blackpool a lot to see the lights? Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimmyCustard Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Ive seen: Jim Davidson (sooooo rude), Michael Jackson x 2, Simply Red, Tina Turner, and Imagination! (it was about 1982) Have met Paul Young, Spandau Ballet, Nik Kershaw, the bloke from the Levis advert, Chris Tarrant, David Jensen, Teddy Sheringham, Ray Clemence and Gary Mabbot. Most were nice - some were not........ Kimmy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I think I'd have been tempted to book to see Jimmy in panto too, could be dire of course, but I bet "Long Haired Lover" gets an outing or 2 and he does seem able to take a joke....I reckon ho could be surprisingly good . My secret confession....I just bought tickets to see Paul Young in concert in November....all together now "Wherever I lay my hat, that's my hooooome" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missuscluck Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Kate, have you booked to see Paul Young or Los Pacaminos the band he fronts now. If you are going to see Los Pacaminos he dosent sing any of his hits at all. My OH's band supported them when they played locally to us. We knew what we were in for but there was a lot of very dissapointed people in the audiance who had assumed he would be singing a few of his famous tunes. Los Pacaminos is a cajun band. If he is playing as Paul Young though you will be ok. Hope you enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Oh, i didn't know he fronted another band, I've booked tickets for Paul Young in Rotorua, I'm hoping it's him, sounds like it should be http://www.eventfinder.co.nz/2008/nov/rotorua/paul-young-nz-tour I WILL sulk if he doesn't sing about where he's laying his hat......in fact I've got a spare bed.....maybe I should email him, my spare bedroom could be his home, for 1 night only Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Ooh I love Paul Young. Saw him when he was with Q Tips playing at South Bank Polytechnic (might be giving our ages away now ) and then once he'd got more famous at Wembley. He has a brilliant voice. Also saw Culture Club, Steps, The Osmonds and Neil Diamond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
