My two most cringeworthy were taking the missus to Boyzone and Five at Wembley Areana!

Five were actually alright, very well managed 'show' and was bareable in a cheese way.

Boyzone was funny, the outer concorse where the loos and that are was full of blokes standing around smoking/drinking looking very very bored.

Lots of unspoken bonds, little nods, all their under duress to take the other half, hating it, and taking any opportunity to get as far away from the 'music' as possible.
