    Then why didn't Tim Farron just immediately say no he does not think gay sex is a sin. It's taken a general election coming up for him to backtrack on what he really believes.
    You missed all the articles babe. x

     

    His record speaks for itself. That interview was taken from a couple of years ago when he became leader and it was specifically an interviewer trying to trip him up by questioning about theological doctrine (just because he's a Christian) rather than talking about his politics.

    Unlike Scottish nationalists, I live in the present not the past. Tim Farron in 2017 failed to give a clear answer on whether he thought gay sex is a sin, if he was the leader of the BNP party then I wouldn't expect anything different but as the leader of the Liberal Democrats, that is seriously shocking.

    f***ing raging, was searching on Ticketmaster within legit 5 seconds of tickets being released and they were gone :/ I really hope they add Cardiff or also play the O2 in Bristol or something, gutted.

     

    Funnily enough there are enough tickets left to be sold on stubhub for £180 but not for actual fans to get tickets at 5 seconds past 9...

    Same, absolutely gutted, I've loved Paramore for years and would've loved to see them live. I was there at 9:00 on the dot (actually a few minutes before, watching the countdown/ refreshing etc, had Seetickets, Ents24 and Ticketmaster open, it got to 9:00 so I selected tickets, clicked continue and at 9:01 it said they were all gone.

     

    There's a subreddit on this, apparently a lot of people had a similar experience: https://www.reddit.com/r/Paramore/comments/...out_in_seconds/

     

    Not impressed at how fast they went, I bet there were bots set up. Seeing as they did go so quickly though, maybe there'll be more dates? Can only hope, will make sure I look out for band updates and get in on the presale next time.

     

    If it really is bots (probably is, nothing usually sells out in seconds, I expected it to be popular but I was still expecting a 10 minute - 30 minute window at least), reading this is heartbreaking:

    I've just called Coulson Hall & apparently they're quite aware of the bots that get tickets and now only admit people with photo ID matching the ticket name - good on them!

    Cool! But it doesn't really help everyone that doesn't have a ticket because the bots got them. Gonna be an empty show

    Very much so :( sad for Paramore but this might be a big kick for ticket sites to try and get some action in place! I know Josh Franceschi of You Me At Six has even been to the Houses of Parliament to talk about it.

    also shh Bré I know that Port Blue qualified and came 34th :)
    You didn't hear? I got through the semi at 20th on a tiebreak (more 12s) because of a clerical error- Chez's entry (great entry </3) was supposed to have 3 more points that accidently didn't get added on to Terra Avium's score. Chez gave me 12 (thanks Chez!) so at least it was something he really liked getting through instead of him, still feel slightly bad although his voting pm makes us even I think. x

    Pretty sure this is ok again but ofc can't be sure, I'm not all that good at this- if you notice anything (other than the 7 points you're missing) Bre, plz let me know. ^_^

    Halp with potentials plz.

     

    ^Credit to Burbe for finding this one

     

     

     

    A bit of a variety here, been searching and just can not decide for this one so any help is greatly appreciated. ^_^

    Okay so a fairly underwhelming/ disappointing result for "Up Ship!" at #34, especially considering how much this track means to me (so I really would've loved to do well with it) and the fact that there were some much higher predictions for it but nevertheless, it's a new peak (again, marginally but #everylittlehelps) and at least we've started our first Q streak. No idea what I'm going to actually be entering next month (although I have a couple of potentials), will see what happens when it comes to confirmations.

     

    Well done for Trifoski on your win and commiserations to Pupok for missing out on top 20, deserved so much more, stunner of a track. :heart:

    36th. 113pts Tinnmark: Christopher – Naked (16th/32nd)

    35th. 132pts Aelandor: Port Blue – Up Ship (20th/38th)

    34th. 122pts TARO Bellamia: Tom Jay Williams - Closure (12th/25th)

    33rd. 145pts #00274E: X0809 – HO (17th/33rd)

     

    I think you are actually 34th as you have more points than TARO Bellamia and they're ahead of you? ;o possibly just a switch needed there x

    ^Yeah it's fixed now, it's just if I was 35th because then my peaks would've shifted up by a single place two times in a row. Disappointed as usual (especially since I was actually expecting a possible top 20 or at least top 30 with this one) but hey it's a peak.
