Don't have kids myself, but talking to friends who do and just having seen the place myself I'd agree that Womad would be a good choice for young kids
best thing i can say about womad is that its unlikely to be duplicating an experience of that child, there's a lot there they're unlikely to experience otherwise.

I can guess as such. A few weeks later, Newcastle played Man City and had an equaliser chalked off due to questions about an offside player interfering with Hart's vision that most people at the time thought was a bullshit reason, and which I think of as still annoying.
But then that's the nature of it. Referees are part of the football mythology, for better or worse.
var is still working out as many said it would its cured nothing of footballs problems, and added a few more.

i've never taken my kid there but i've been and I'm not hooked on the idea of shambala being good for kids, too many inconsiderate wreckheads I'd say, and not very much to keep a kid entertained with apart from the parents.

I don’t generally go for the line up, just love doing all the other bits and exploring the music. We are about 20 mins away from WOMAD so we were thinking of that
womad is a lovely festival for kids and the site is lovely always some cool shade in the arboretum, and the music (for me) a discovery (was always pleasantly surprised at how much my son (a Glastonbury veteran) embraced the non-western music .
and you don't have to worry about beered up w*nkers.

We love it, the kids love it, have an amazing time!
glasto is great for kids but as the parent i found other festivals much more pleasurable for me, without the kids having less fun.
they're less daunting for both parent and child ,and smaller crowds at other festivals make it easier to dip in & out of things as suits the child's interest.

Just some more divisive rhetoric from our failed unelected prime minister. He hasn’t got time to make any reforms like this.
its a good way for him to highlight labours need to raise taxes for the tories that hate taxes and might still be persuaded to vote tory.

Oh, really? No second tranche of sales for this year? Meh. I'll see whether I think I'm likely to be fit enough for next year - starting to feel too old for my first one, TBH.
Resale was yesterday.

Interest rates haven't brought down house prices significantly if at all, so now first time buyers are facing silly high prices plus higher interest rates on mortgages. Only way to do is it be rich already or have wealthy and generous parents.
I remember me saying demand will hold prices up and being told they'd fall loads.

I was on statins for a while when I was diagnosed with type 2. My cholesterol wasn't even particularly high but like so much with diabetes it put you at higher risk.
Decided to come off them when I went into remission
can't remember what they're called but i did have those lumps on my eyelids which denote high cholesterol, but since I've been on statins they've gone away.

it's all next parliament stuff anyway, right?
the cost of mental health disabilities is astounding, need to find more for the physically disabled, numbers of which will increase rapidly with an aging population, as more oldies get hit by strokes as i was - one in three people suffer a stroke, strokes are biggest cause of later life disability - that's where the crisis is, it can be lessened by prescribing statins to the over 50s. they're dirt cheap, and with no side effects I've noticed, reduces cholesterol, quite nicely too.(I think that might be starmer's plan, think it might be a problem with docs who aren't meant to proscribe without an ailment.)
reckon that if you asked your doc for them he'd/she'd prescribe them.

I know a few in this thread are Aldershot fans so what do you guys make of Gateshead being denied a play-off spot but Aldershot also being denied the chance to sub in for them?
looks like the beginning of the end for gateshead, the council not backing the club with the ground is what led to the old aldershot club folding.

Oh, you just totally missed the point then and were disrespecting the whole craft of djing.
You mean I repeated wot someone said ( what was said about Fatboy). Other people shouting at clouds now. Tell me the name of a DJ who never plays anyone else's records then!

absolute f**king shout at clouds nonsense
DJs mostly play other people's music. Tell me what I've missed with that?

my wife calls metal "sh*t in your handbag music" maybe it should be sh*t in your tent music.
