Paulie: will you be watching Bomber Command? I too had a relative who played a small part in the bombing of Germany. Somebody by the name of Harris or summat like that.

You can fly direct to Hamburg from Brum for around £125 return

Train is 40 euro return from Hamburg to Bremen takes just over an hour

When we payed Hamburg I flew to Bremen. The bus journey to hamburg took 6 hours instead of 1.5. Missed the match so very worried of repeat disappointment.

I flew to Warsaw on a Lufthansa flight once and they landed so steeply that even the regular fliers looked scared. I was going to an England game as it happened and as we left the plane one of the lads remarked to the smiling pilot "grandfather a fxxxing Stuka pilot was he"

Might go to this if I can find a cheap flight

Ryanair don't have any flights that weekend. I was thinking about going, but travel seems to be a nightmare!

I'm never, ever travelling with Ryanair having read Nile Rodgers' tweets about travelling with them yesterday.

Treat the British public as badly as you can get away with, if they keep coming, then they're stupid, but NOBODY disses a disco legend like that.

I can't go now anyway... I realised last night that it clashes with Blur at Hyde Park!

Saw that alright. They really don't know how to do good publicity, do they?
As an aside, really looking forward to seeing Chic play here in a couple of weeks, supposed to be an amazing show.
