sharkyvilla Posted April 6, 2017 Share Posted April 6, 2017 I love having the MLB season back on, and just falling asleep on the sofa watching it in the evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you drove into Fenway from wherever, if you can't find a metered spot, you'll pay $90 to park in a lot. The cheapest tickets are around $25, so a family of four is gonna pay at least $200 just to park and sit down. Then there's the concessions. $10 beers, $8 slices of pizza, $5 for a bag of peanuts...Hang on, this is starting to piss me off, not cheer me up!

The cost of tickets against the cost of parking seems totally upside down. Can you park cheaper some way out and get a bus (say)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Some of the utter window lickers that phone in to Danny Kelly's radio show on WM. This morning, he's doing a Grand National Sweep, caller gets Lord Windemere. Danny: "Ever been to Windemere"? Caller: "No Dan" Danny: "Then you've never lived my friend! It's beautiful" Caller: "Oh I have lived Danny, I've been to Weston Super Mare and Blackpool". Absolutely straight reply, no comical overtones. Turns out the guy also has a driving license but no car, has no passport, and has never been abroad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Danny Kelly sounds like a bit of a nob, to be honest, I hate this "you've never lived until..." bullshit. I've not lived because I've not been to **** Windemere?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Sorry Rob, I gave you a like, then took it back, when I realised it was the WM Danny Kelly you were talking about, rather than the Talk Sport one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 It's kind of shit to look down on someone because they don't have a car and don't go abroad. Maybe he's a backwards little Englander who thinks Blackpool is as good as the world gets, or maybe he just can't afford foreign holidays and a car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree on that point. However if they have been Blackpool and love it then I have to question their 1) taste or 2) sanity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 I'll admit, I'd rather stay at home than go on holiday to the British seaside. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, there's British seaside, and there's British seaside. If you mean Blackpool and its ilk, I'd agree, but there are some fantastic bits of coast around Britain (and Ireland). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
