Topic: Alan Partridge - including Alpha Papa

[Joff]

Do you mind if I bring my guitar?, I'd rather you didn't, it's not that kind of area.


(Heard Driving home for Christmas on the radio earlier and thought of this and laughed like a drain)

stop getting partridge wrong

[Buck Pete]

stop getting partridge wrong

Explain sir?

[sinnermichael]

But with a full and frank apology that you’re about to give us this morning I’m sure you can dig yourself out of this rather ugly hole.

[jedimaster]

There will be those who accuse me wanting to bulk out the podcast with long pauses as a substitute for actual content
but they.....are......utterly......wrong. If I use a pause then I do so.................................for dramatic effect.

[gerrardisgod]

Weird, I’ve just opened Oasthouse and that was the exact point I’d left off.

Goocompa! Goocompa!

That's first class.

Love that you can download them, now I can make "Danny Franchetti's Jazz Box!" my Whatsapp tone.

I got really drunk last night, I was sick everywhere.

Just had an offer accepted for a house. No cast-iron egg tree, lacquered, but it does have a rinser.

It was when Angela saw the text "I want to play your bum like bongos" that our relationship fell apart.

I still see her now and then, not least every day at work.

She ignores me as I walk past. Still, I wouldn't dream of having her sacked for insubordination.

[LanceLink!!!!!]

I love how you've got into bullet points, Lynn. I knew you'd love them if you tried them

[Buck Pete]

Channel hopped to Ant & Decs crappy show on Saturday and there’s Alan as guest presenter.

Hopefully not the beginning of the end.  Peter Kaye’s “Geraldine” moment.

[gerrardisgod]

Nah, he’s done this sort of thing before when plugging something. Remember him doing TFI years back.

Was really worried our Villa game was going to clash with his show at the M&S, got lucky.

[Buck Pete]

It wasn”t a deal breaker

I'm a bit worried here.  I booked for "Stratagem" ages ago for 12/5 at the AO Arena in Manc.  The emails from Ticketmaster clearly state Thursday 12th May

Trouble is, everywhere i look says the two shows at the AO are on 13/14 May

Can anyone confirm please?


Edit:  Just logged into my Ticketmaster account and my tickets are for Saturday 14th May.  It says "Rescheduled".  Nice of the lousy c*nts to let me know

Thank fuck it doesn't clash with LFC.  Going down to Southampton on the Sunday but should be ok for Alan on the Saturday.

Glad I didn't turn up on the Thursday as planned to see the likes of Little Mix or Dancing on Ice.

It's Cup Final day.

[bryanod]

going to see him in Dublin after the (currently scheduled) derby so could be a fun day

[Buck Pete]

It's Cup Final day.

Fuck sake so it is.

Will wait till next weekend and see what happens before contacting ticketmaster and try and move it.

Cheers mate

Ah fuck, we're booked for the same day I think.

[Crosby Nick]

Can’t even remember when I’ve booked my tickets for. Don’t think you get them (online) til a few days before these days. Have a feeling it’s late May and midweek so hoping that doesn’t clash with anything. The domestic season should be over by then!

[Buck Pete]

SO to clarify - Anyone booked for Stratagem in Manchester on Thursday 12th May.  Be careful as its been moved to cup final day on 14th.

I might see if I can move it to Friday 13th Anyway.

[bradders1011]

We'll watch the FA Cup final at Wembley, then Alan Partridge's Strategem.

An out-of-touch farce...and then Alan Partridge's Strategem.

Getting pretty excited about it now, can't believe it was a year back I booked this. Just under 6 weeks left, and 2 of those I'm spending in Greece.

We've moved ours to the Friday night

Did you do it through ticketmaster mate?

[redgriffin73]

Sorry, just seen this. My friend emailed customer.service@ticketmaster.co.uk and they sent back instructions on how to do it. Basically you have to rebook for the Friday through the website and then they process the refund for your original order. Once you've booked the new tickets you reply to their email with the new reference number and they process the refund.

All a bit arse about face but seemed to go smoothly enough although I had nothing to do with it!

[Crosby Nick]

Is it easy enough to sell your tickets back to Ticketmaster does anyone know? Mate can’t go on the date I’ve booked for and to b honest could do with my money back.

Cheers mate.  That's exactly what I did earlier and you are right.

I'm going to rebook for M&S Bank arena on 11th and get a refund for the 14th

cheers!

See my post above, we've swapped dates but it sounded like you could just get a refund if not, as it's them that have moved the date.

Good stuff, glad we're not all missing out on a bit of Partridge due to the reds being boss!

Just looked and there’s an option to sell buy it then asks you name your price (can’t be above face value which is fair enough). But not sure if I go down that route whether I get a fire fund as such, sounds more like I’d need there to be a buyer before I got anything back.

[gerrardisgod]

I tried to sell a couple of Cast gigs that way to no joy, the other month. Likely due to no demand though.

Put them up a few times and then just got annoyed and went “OH FORGET IT!”

Did you just have to Walkaway?

It was Alright in the end, a mate just took them.

That's a bit rubbish, if they've changed the date you should be able to just get a straight refund.

They didn’t change the date. It was me thinking I could do with £150 back!

I hope he had a Finetime.

Ah, was getting you confused with those of us who booked the Manc date that's been moved. As you were then, you tight bastard
