A friend of mine has just e-mailed me this :

http://www.manchestereveningnews.co....reds_in_moscow

Apparently it was in her local paper under the headline "Moscow - Violent , Corrupt and Expensive".I'm not so sure I want to go now.That doesn't sound like the Moscow I remember.

Oh wait ......yes it does.

I'll still keep trying.

LoL, under the Old Regime, Russian Lolitas would be considered "state property", upon which your trespass would probably lend you more than one night in jail?

3.You don't argue with policemen with big guns.

A subset extension of the much more encompassing rule: "You don't argue with ANYONE with big guns".....or, for that matter....little guns. Unless, of course, your gun is bigger. In which this rule applies, but in reverse.

The last time I was in Russia I was arrested for , now let me remember this accurately , "trespassing upon state property and impairing the security of the state".

Lol , Par mon paupieres IS Will Smith !!

Hey. Any news on the Russian adventure , PMP ?

If the tickets are going free , I'm definitely interested.I'm a Chelsea fan for my sins (Pre-Abramovich I might add !) and i'm joining the visa hunt for the Champions league Final and the chance to combine with Alizee would be AMAZING.

I don't know how often you check on here , but if you could let me know soon or PM me that would be great.Alternatively if you could give me advice on getting tickets that would be awesome too.

As you can see not as often as I'd like.I'm still hopeful of getting in to Russia and using the tickets myself.I'll know one way or the other by tomorrow.

As you probably know for the football Russia are doing an visa exemption for anyone with a match ticket but only between the 19th to the 22nd so it's going to be too late if you want to see Alizee as well.I'll PM you some useful numbers and websites for travelling and tickets.

Oh and welcome to the forum , everyone is very friendly here

LOL , true again ! I can also add "You CAN'T argue with anyone with big guns if you only understand every tenth word".

Thanks for all your help , my friend and I have got our visas and travel sorted as well as accomodation but we're coming up short on match tickets ! We may have to try for black market ones ( There goes my savings !).If we can't get in it's going to be a hell of a trip for nothing but we'll give it a go.Just being there will be a buzz anyway !.

We are arriving in Moscow on Sunday and going to try for Alizee's gig ( my friend's not too keen but I'm sure I can swing her round !) cos I'm sure we can get tickets on the day.

Best of luck with your attempt , may see you there !

After all your help I might change my mind !!

[Par mon paupieres]

Well it's official , I'm NOT going to Moscow.Despite my friend's best efforts she has just told me my visa appeal has failed so that I'm afraid is that.

I'd started to suspect it wasn't going to happen and gave most of my work assignments to a colleague but as my original title of this thread said I'm gutted !

Never mind.I'm definitely going to go to the French or Belgian gigs (or even Khazakstan!) , basically anyplace I AM allowed to enter.

Rachelizee , seeing as you are definitely going to be IN Moscow you can gladly have my Alizee tickets.As I said at the start I wanted a genuine fan to use them if I could not.I'll send you a PM with my Russian friend's details.I'm also pretty sure he can hook you up with football tickets too.I'll give you all the info that you'll need.Just enjoy it for all of us !!
