    the "openly Jewish" row, some people just exist to take offence. he had chosen to dress in an identifiably Jewish manner: he probably wanted to be recognised as Jewish to take offense cos that happened is ridiculous. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-68856360
  4. same for the other dj's people cream themselves about.

    guess that was those caravan people parked at the back of ikea having a bit of fun. Bristol old bill are so cool. 🙂 i once had a copper knock on my door after I'd just finished a spliff and asked me if I'd seen drug dealing from any of the nearby houses i said no (cos ihadn't) but did say i smoked the occasional spliff (cos i thought she'd be smelling it.)and she didn't flinch. since I've lived here I've known of three shops that sell weed over the counter.

    makes sense cos it makes it unsustainable in the longer term. as long as they can find a way of increasing council funding they'll be able to make a noticeable difference quite quickly, councils will know how to step up and improve their services, and real people will notice the benefit.

    Taking a baby

    have a read of this, was written by my ex partner, who took my son to many festivals with us(so she had a lot of experience of kids at festivals- the first one we did was glastonbury when he was 10-months). it didn't mentally scar him he's 27 now and still loves festivals. https://www.efestivals.co.uk/info/kids.shtml

    Taking a baby

    its very do-able but something might catch you out, be prepared to quit if you have to. get your kid familiar with the music of an act you'll definitely see, they will enjoy bands more if they recognise what they're hearing (i think they then understand what the whole thing is about). my ex-neighbour took her two year old foster child that she'd only had for 3 months, i thought that was very brave of her. - if you think you'll take kid again in the future, remember that you don't have to squeeze everything in this year. - make sure you do some circus and cabaret as the kid is more likely to enjoy stuff that isn't music. keep it varied, when kid gets tired give them time to sleep, it'll make your life easier. dealing with a tired kid is the worst thing. above all, remember to have fun and enjoy it. 🙂

    Taking a baby

    i've done it with an 10 month old too. was very had work, was a very rainy & muddy year. get one of those backpack carriers, it gets baby above the crowds where he/she can see. my kid was throwing (shapes) his arms up in the air to the music, was very cute. and could then fall asleep with his head on my shoulder - get ear defenders - get some solar fairylights to put on pushchairs, etc, festival goers don't expect low level obstacles. - take a tent with a big floor that baby can crawl on. - use the kidz field its lovely and fantastic. have a backup plan(granny on standby? maybe). if your kid hates it, do what's right for your kid

    i'm quite happy living it up on your taxes, suckers 😛 , but i'd be quite happy to have my health and mobility back and have to work. it is what it is, i'm not a skiver, i've been dealt a sh*t hand, (perhaps contributed to that myself, dunno?) hope hes going to be down on tory ex mp's too seems to be a lot of them about at the moment enough to be an identifiable group itself in the stats.

    if people are happy without work why force them, many aren't capable of work and are not considered employable by any known employer. i don't feel that i could deliver the required quality in any work task i might be assigned, not because i don't care, but because certain brain functions have been damaged with my brain injury, i have them detailed in a medical report i have somewhere, i forget what they are one damaged brain function is memory., another is strategic thinking; another concentration; mostly these don't give me much trouble, i try to adapt.
