Pity away. This is where all the student budget is going now.

Hello forum. Bi-annual post here. Just picked up tickets for London and Cumbria - any thoughts on what the venue might be up there? Hoping for up a mountain/down a cave or similar. Or maybe on one of the lakes, in a flotilla of boats.

It's in November, so I hope it's indoors and warm!

Carnglaze Cavern was November and that bloody wasn't!

Precisely! I hope they've learned their lesson.

Snow and laughter, confusion and trouble with tyres, it was right slippy, bastard cold. Good job I were right pissed.

But it was amazing! I'd be more than happy with a similar set-up.

I'm popping along to Bexhill. I do like the idea of them playing surrounded by bras.

Tickets for Cumbria arrived in the post today, very efficient. Much nicer than Ticketmaster etc when you get to a couple of days before the event and suddenly wonder where the hell the tickets are.

It's a shame they aren't bringing it north of the border. The newly re-furbished Kelvingrove Bandstand would make a very fitting venue for this type of thing...

Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large saucepan and fry the mince until browned – you may need to do this in batches. Set aside as it browns. Put the rest of the oil into the pan, add the vegetables and cook on a gentle heat until soft, about 20 mins. Add the garlic, flour and tomato purée, increase the heat and cook for a few mins, then return the beef to the pan. Pour over the wine, if using, and boil to reduce it slightly before adding the stock, Worcestershire sauce and herbs. Bring to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 45 mins. By this time the gravy should be thick and coating the meat. Check after about 30 mins – if a lot of liquid remains, increase the heat slightly to reduce the gravy a little. Season well, then discard the bay leaves and thyme stalks.
Meanwhile, make the mash. In a large saucepan, cover the potatoes in salted cold water, bring to the boil and simmer until tender. Drain well, then allow to steam-dry for a few mins. Mash well with the milk, butter, and three-quarters of the cheese, then season with the nutmeg and some salt and pepper.
Spoon meat into 2 ovenproof dishes. Pipe or spoon on the mash to cover. Sprinkle on the remaining cheese. If eating straight away, heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7 and cook for 25-30 mins, or until the topping is golden.

Has anyone got an idea of what time the Durham show will finish? Trying to fit around work and a possible trek back to Norfolk straight after. Ta
