How can you plan for a death in the family?

If you've had a death in the family
trying to claim back fifteen quid on a gig ticket might seem a little insensitive, don't you think?

I don't know why I posted to be honest
I really couldn't give a shit.

How can you plan for your only method of transport to somewhere 200 miles away (unless you want to pay £100+ for a last minute train)
to go and get 3 more points on his license and be banned from driving?

Then you buy your train ticket
and call your mate with a car a silly cunt and suggest he take you out for a big apology cake later on.

Yeah,
because a student can afford a £100 train.

Then you all get together and call your mate a massive cunt then.

It was Dream Theater 2 years ago.
I don't like them that much any more, so I guess in the long run it doesn't matter.

surely you'd know where the gig was going to be in advance.

( Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Sun 17 May 2009, 14:32, archived)

He got banned from driving 2 days before the gig.
