Oldschool pop(ish)-punk band the Buzzcocks are going to have a show in Tel Aviv on 15/3.
And I just bought a ticket! WOOHOO! 
This is gonna be fun!!!
Assuming, of course, they don't go the way of the Pixies, Costello, Devendra Banhart and others, cancelling their visit at the last moment... 
I don't really want to go into the politics of all this (I haven't written a political journal post in a long time, and I don't intend to make this into one) but the whole boycott thing feels like a trend more than anything else, and an annoying, pointless trend at that.
Me, I just want to see a show.

While you're minding the Buzzcocks, I do hope you have fun.

I hope so too. Should be a fun show.

And it's good that someone intends to mind the Buzzcocks, in case they get distracted and wander off.

I know they're not that young anymore, but I don't think they're prone to Alzheimer's yet.

Why is it that when you are in the doctor's waiting room and there is a poster saying something like "If you think you have Alzheimers [memorise this phone number and] give us a ring?" I inserted the bit in brackets because the seem to mean it, but don't strictly say it.
Why can't they have a little handout you could take with you. Then when you find it in your wallet, purse, pocket, fridge or under the soap keeping the fruitbowl from getting scummy, you can ring the bloomin' number.

It's right up there with the posters that say something like, 'Do you have trouble with reading? Call this number...'

Heh, nice. I remember seeing some 'We can teach you English' ads as well, all written in English of course...

Ivan the Terribly Average Posted Feb 15, 2011
Well, if they weren't written in English, how could you believe their claim to know English and be able to teach it? 
Surely that's obvious.

Good point.

I'm glad you thought so. 
Everyone else seems to think I'm a loony.

Well, of course you are. 
We're all mad here.
What does that have to do with anything, though?

Ivan the Terribly Average Posted Feb 15, 2011
Not a lot. I just thought I'd mention it.
