Yesterday I noticed that a few people on Twitter had linked to an article that attempted to be nothing but full of praise for the Sunderland music scene on one of the Guardian&#8217;s regional blogs by Allen Glen.

I haven&#8217;t yet seen the film A Thousand Words, which currently has a solid 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, because it&#8217;s not out yet. If you&#8217;re interested, the consensus on RT says: Dated jokes (A Thousand Words was shot in 2008) and removing Eddie Murphy&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maxraymond.co.uk&#038;blog=6490104&#038;post=2014&#038;subd=maxraymond&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

A standing ticket or block 101 seat for either O2 show was £73 (including all fees) so you can see why people were ticked off &#8211; whether they got a ticket, didn&#8217;t get one [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maxraymond.co.uk&#038;blog=6490104&#038;post=2007&#038;subd=maxraymond&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
