Lucy in the sky with tickets
Cats: Uncategorized|I clicked.
The clocked ticked. And tocked.
I clicked and clicked and clicked.
Then I got ticked.
I dumped the computer, rushed down to the ticket outlet, and Elton John was sold out.
The problem was the box that kept coming up saying “tickets not on sale.”
But they were on sale.
I’ve since been told by people who have written to me that I should have refreshed my browser.
Moral to the story: stale browser = no Elton John.
Boo hoo.

Wait a minute, don’t they know who you are?
A columnist for the Chronicle Herald?
A gifted typist?
Head of the dojo that keeps all of Nova Scotia safe from ninjas?
And, the Birthday Girl?
WTF? I ask, no, I demand that the Canadian Parliment and the Prime Minister rectify this with a special dispensation that gives you your choice of seats in the front row. It’s the very least that they can do for the woman that keeps the entire east coast of Canada informed, cultured and safe.
And if they think I’m kidding, when was the last time Nova Scotia was attacked by ninjas?
There, goes your proof. I rest my case.

Well, you have to admit that the ninja case is a stronger one than the case that the War on Liquids and Gels (oops, sorry “Terror”) is keeping us safe…
Besides GT only has a limited number of chances to see Elton, before she turns 50 and the whole expense would be blamed on her mid-life crisis - YOU MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY MR. HARPER!!!! RECTIFY THIS INJUSTICE!!!!

At least you’re not on dial-up, where that kind of pain is drawn out over a longer period of time. Because I’m on dial-up I usually use the phone…or was that not an option?

Cormac, I’ve never said that - do you know who I am? - largely because I’d be too afraid to ask a question that I could not answer
TagBagger, Mr. Harper doesn’t have to act THAT immediately!!!
Dick, no I’m not dial up, if I were, this blog wouldnt exist
