Ade , I knew the chance was slim. But Zero! I'm the eternal optimist. Seriously, how would you rate my chances if I made it for 3pm. I'd settle for 20%

Over on 'Tell Me', he's talking about camping out with friggin' tents!

That's a definite no-no for me, as is queeing from 6 am, to be perfectly honest. A, I don't think I care quite enough and B, there is the queestion as to whether-or-not I could get the leave from work for the day.

re: London signing

Due to time restrictions, not all of those people will get to meet Keith Richards in person on the day, but everyone who has been issued with a wristband will be guaranteed the opportunity to buy a rare pre-signed edition of Life.

That is total BS...He, like any professional author at a signing, should be there for everyone in line...

If he was there for two hours, at two a minute thats 240 people get to meet him. Hence the disclaimer that some of the 450 will miss out.

Things are looking good for Glen. Just heard he got there for 6.30, got a wristband and is no. 114.

Paulywaul got in the queue at 5.10, and Beast at 5.40. They're numbers 89 and 90. Mr Jimmy's in there somewhere as well.

Seems there are 150 'gold wristbands'.
