£150 starting price on ebay for a single Barbican ticket.

3 now for sale on ebay.co.uk.. it says these can be sold seperately but I see the price is already £76 for one and there are 6 days to go for the auction.

Mickey just an idea but if we all sold our tickets en masse we could finance a trip to Hydra. Silly prices I hope no one buys them.

ok there's a camel leaving on October 19th, returning the 25th December, let's go for it!

mickey_one - did you ever get that ticket on ebay for the poetry competition winner?

someone else from the forum bought it!

In that case, I won't make it to the Barbican, I guess. If there's no chance of a video link, would you like to go proxy for me on 20th October, at the readings in the Green Note Cafe? If Manna didn't use the 5 string to trash the hotel room (so went Mat J's third place prize of $1000) you could collect my prize as well. I shall wear my red bra that day and if you still have yours from Hydra, in the closet, and are willing to sport it one more time, we could synchronise. Looks like Pete was the real winner (good man)- he gets to go greyhound racing with Leonard! Cheers.

Since I've forfeited my anonymity here, I am copying this to the poetry place.

confused, yours is the red bra I wore in Hydra. I hardly think we can both fit into it now.

Confused? me too. Did we both fit into it then? or each separately fitted into it? I'm not very athletic so maybe it was someone else you're thinking of.

I have delayed responding to this for fear of disappointing you. I am neither of those mentioned so it would appear there was multiple red bra borrowing on Hydra that year which would explain why I didn't recognise it in your Ann Summers/Dear Pater photo.(ref. Poetry and Music by the Forum Members - but not because they're trying to flog anything - Official Announcement, page 2, posting 3). Never mind - probably best you are not beholding to me for 1 red bra, the use of (and subsequent purloining of, it seems). The slip looks familiar, but maybe you too buy from Figleaves.com. Well, if your red bra was already second hand when you got it in 2002, I think its time you had a new one. Let me know your size and I'll have one sent to chambers. It's the least I can do if you're going to represent me on the 20th. Oops, 'represent' - that's what you do isn't it? May have to withdraw my request if there's a fee entailed (?) Let the bra be the quid pro quo. Did you ever write that poem?

M1 - could I ask a trivia question while you're here? Doubt if there will be widespread interest in the subject, so no point in starting a thread about it...when HRHQE11 passes the baton to HRHTPoW will your Q become a K or will the Ks only date from then? Fascinating, no?

I've wondered about that, just fleetingly over the years. I don't know for sure but I presume Q does become a K. If the crown passed to Harry (or is it William, the older one anyway) that would be PC.

Yes, no doubt that K would apply to all new 'callings' (?). I think you're right about existing QCs as well. Came across Sir Robert McCall 1849 -1934 who was QC (Victoria) then KC (Edward and George). So unless something has changed in the meantime... Thanks.

Ah, Bobby McCall, lovely chap. we were against each other often.

rather than "callings" we are appointed (or in my case, annointed).
