The day after Chessboxing I did something that couldn't be more opposite. But
before I tell you what it is, you need to remember that everyone has that band
or singer that they shouldn't like for credibility reasons, but do anyway. This
band is one that my flatmate Charlotte and I would dance to in the kitchen
while cooking. And we think they’re decent guys too. So the guilty pleasure
band of our flat is….One Direction. Charlotte even got me a birthday card with
their lovely faces on it, complete with badge.
One Direction’s Where We Are concert was on at our beloved
Broadway Cinema, and yes apart from the parents of the 12 year old girls that
went, Charlotte and I were probably the oldest ones there! I know people that
have been to see musicals and plays at the cinema before, but would a concert
work? I think in this case it did, purely because if I went to an actual 1D
concert I’d lose my hearing. I left the cinema with both ears working. And one
good thing about the group, they’re normal and they openly announced halfway
through the concert that they needed a toilet break. There was a Q&A before
the concert started, and we learnt that Liam thought he had only one working
kidney until recently. I really hope that comes up in a pub quiz.
You’ll be pleased to know that I only knew a handful of
songs that they sang, so I'm still showing my age a bit. One Direction isn't
everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s good to be like a teenager again for an
afternoon. And as Ted, a guy I met on a train years ago once said; ‘Everyone
has to grow old, but you don’t have to grow up.’ Wise words Ted, wise words!
