    big crowd in the tent for magic gang - highlight for me. Although the sound again was funny even in the stage. Felt as though the buzz of people talking was a constant battle with the band 

    I thought the sound in that stage was off all day. Working Men’s Club really struggled with it, even forgetting the sound cutting out in Valleys.

    Anyone know roughly how it takes to get the download link for the ticket app? Been an hour now and still haven't got it though and the portal just shows confirmation of my ticket but no details ie seat 

    Just got mine through. Purchased 11.15ish.

    Reminds me, I met the lead singer/guitarist from Yak in 2017 in Williams Green. He was next to me during Jagwar Ma.

    I didn't know who he was until he told me he knew Jagwar Ma and I asked him how. He said JM are really nice guys, 'we've been hanging our eating soup all day'.. He was a really nice, chilled bloke, which was a bit jarring when I subsequently saw them live (he's a bit mental - he kept spitting straight up in the air).

    I was had free tickets to a Yak gig in the basement of a pub, went along because I'd heard of them, and it was free. Ended up sat next to the band (I had no idea) and a few people had started to move downstairs, so I asked them if they knew what time Yak were coming on/ if I had time for another beer before heading down... "well we're still sat here so I'd say so" was the response.

    Agreed. I do like a day boogie with a couple of bevs - chuck him somewhere at 4pm and lets have a lovely bloody time!

    Although not all disco, Carl Cox's 4 hour 2019 Glade set was utter perfection for exactly this reason.

    Speaking of which, I heard a rumour this was recorded to be released. Has anyone heard anything?

    Saw something on twitter that Q had the Roundhouse booked for their awards shows this year.

    Nadine Shah hosting the awards, live shows from Liam Gallagher one night, Paul Heaton/ Jacqui Abbot the other.

    My parents (Cumbria based) are planning on visiting me (London based) with a stay around the Home Counties for a couple of days mid-October, plus one night in London itself.

    As they'd be driving and staying in self-catering I think they'd be fine, but dad is getting a little nervous now. Hive mind, what's your thoughts on level of safety?

    Yeah it seems a fair compromise, with a year to plan events such as festivals or sports such as the Euros I think a lot of these particular events will have contingency plans in place to allow them to go ahead, I know the IOC are determined to have the Olympics no matter what so I won't be surprised if they do it in this way and then decide at an appropriate time what the best route to take will be.

    All events will have to make these compromises during the next year to allow them the best chance to go ahead which you can hardly blame them for

    Can we run the Olympics on Wii Sports?

    The app on the news I spoke about was Scotland unfortunately.... ours in the England is limited to this at present

    And I believe it only works within Newham itself as you get an alert when you leave the borough saying so. Not sure how that works if you bump into another Newham resident but in say, Kensington, who has the virus.

    I think it's worded badly. As I understand it there is no audience, but they are selling tickets to see the stream.

    EDIT: unless i'm mistaken, and in which case i'll be there!

    EDIT 2: From their email below, I think it's just tickets to a stream, no audience.

    After all the cancellations, it’s really important that we perform live and direct to you the fans. We’ve teamed up with Streamland to play our only show this year - live from the incredible Dreamland in Margate - with all the maximalist production of a full festival set. It’ll be streamed into your screens at high resolution.

    I think it varies a lot from line to line and time of day from what others have said. I hate the central line anyway as it's so airless and cramped. Got the H and C on the way back and was so much better. Not enough people on it to really judge about mask wearing but it's just a lot more spacious anyway. Going to avoid the proper deep lines for a bit I think.

    I've found the Central Line and Jubilee the busiest; actively avoid the Central now but the Jubilee is manageable, not been through peak though. Northern is surprisingly quiet when I've been on; similarly the Overground.

    DLR probably the best, but you can get a little group of seats of your own if you get there earlier enough as no one can/ should/ will share.

    I'm in Ambleside. Now don't get me wrong, it's not "normal" busy. Particularly for the time of year. The road is busy, but it's not queuing like you'd normally see. It's just that in the last few days there's been a big change. Driving past Rydal for example, the lake shore looked pretty busy, and like I said, car parks which up until a few days ago only ever had a couple of cars in are now full during the day but emptying in the evening. Keeping two meters apart in Ambleside would've been pretty difficult when I went through.

    In terms of who it is, impossible to say for definite of course. Some are locals who are heading further out then they have been. I know that the case just from what people I know are doing. But a lot are not. Certainly the people we've had to ask to leave our site. In the first couple of weeks they were mostly locals ( they'd usually say they were, like that makes it ok!) but most now aren't. The 10 lads we had to kick out today certainly weren't

    Guess the weather, lack of stringent rules, Gov advisors breaking said rules and general nothing to do/ furlough/ boredom kicking in is meaning more people are heading out. I know personally I wouldn't have ventured to Keswick two weeks ago, but it does seem a little safer now, so long as you keep distance, use common sense and don't be daft. Although the mini-golf in Keswick looked a bit busier than I would've liked when we drove past.

    The last couple of days have definitely felt different, like that's it. lock down is over for a lot of people  When the rules were first relaxed and everyone was confused (but alert!) the expected swarms of people didn't happen. Whether that was the rubbish weather (and better weather elsewhere), or the local messaging worked, who knows.  Maybe a bit of both,  but probably the weather. 

    Then, a really nice day, last Wednesday. The place felt rammed.  Not exactly bank holiday weekend rammed, not even close. In fact it probably wasn't that busy in real terms, just in comparison to the last couple of months. But then, despite the weather being OK, it calmed down again. It almost felt like everyone got it out of their system for a day (like a calmer, more scenic version of The Purge) then went back to staying at home. 

    Since the weekend though, all bets are off. Constant traffic on the A591 (main road through the Lake District), car parks full or half full, so many people just wandering about cos there's nothing else to do. And so many people just wandering through our site. Just had to kick two car loads of lads out who'd just pulled into our car park (passing the 'Private, Keep out' sign and then just climbed over the obvious barriers to get to the lake)

    I'm dreading this weekend

    Where about in the Lakes are you? We headed down from Carlisle to Keswick for a couple of hours on Monday. Probably the quietest we've ever seen it, even in midwinter. 95% of people respecting social distancing, no car parks really that full, even Booths seemed dead compared to a usual day.

    Not disputing your point obviously, but interested in the differences across the Lakes - is it people coming from South of the Lakes, or people in each town just coming out and about do you think?
