I think the most worrying part of this story is the last sentence of the quote on the BBC.
A No 10 spokesman said Mr Cummings and Mr Warner had attended or listened in to Sage meetings in order to better understand the scientific debate around coronavirus.
He said they "occasionally" asked questions or offered help when "scientists mention problems in Whitehall", adding that others "also listen to meetings without being on, or a member of, Sage".
"The scientists on Sage are among the most eminent in their fields," the spokesman said. "It is factually wrong and damaging to sensible public debate to imply their advice is affected by government advisers listening to discussions."
He added: "'Public confidence in the media has collapsed during this emergency partly because of ludicrous stories such as this."
That is straight out of the Trump playbook.

Oh dear
maybe I should start to worry about Michael and Emily chasing me round the site in my hats
Now that would make a good computer game.

For those interested a cover version of The Midnight Organ Fight is being released, planned before Scott’s sad demise to commemorate 10 years since it’s release. Covers by Biffy Clyro, Chvrches and Aaron Dessner of The National amongst others. Should be worth a listen.

Though why was one hat not sufficient?
A single hat would have been sufficient, but the hat has got to be appropriate for the weather conditions.

Looks like there will be some rain overnight, then largely dry for the weekend. How much rain depends on the model. Most of them show the worst of it missing Pilton, average is about 5mm. Some places look like they might get biblical rain 30-40mm! Keep praying, we're almost there. This time tomorrow we'll know the extent of it.
Is this a Dewey defeats Truman moment, The Nal has conceded the result, are we in for a last minute shock.

Well of course only Emily lives in the farm house all year round. Michael owns the house just outside the fence. Whether they return home of a night I have no idea. But if they do they would surely have a land rover to drive them there.
@deebeedoobee I know the Jam and Gherkin Jars are vital to showing how dry it has been, but are you not leaving it a bit late for your infusions, although Werthers only takes 24 hours.

I think the more credible rumour is Cooper joining Lukas Nelson on The Park (Nelson colaborated on the songwriting of A Star is Born) for a few songs, and then going to the Pilton Palais to introduce or Q&A at the showing of A Star is Born.

Tell seetickets you never received them, when they say you signed say show me my signature then claim the squiggle isn’t yours. Downside might be shifting blame on your postie and they then get a telling off and hate you.
go down to site with all documents receipts proof of purchase bank statements etc and cry and refuse to leave until they let you in. If it doesn’t work walk to next pedestrian gate and try again and repeat until you have circled the site at least twice.
buy a twix
This is a bit of a risk, I used to work for Royal Mail, the newer handheld devices have Gps tracking and record the signature location, it is accurate to 10m. This is why they are not that fussed about signature quality.
oh and there is also the moral aspects.

I was looking forward to watching it but I'm listening to Felix da Housecat instead. He's playing an outdoor event in town and I can hear it in my flat. Only downside is I now want to go out.
Is that out or out out.

I like how we are all fully supportive of more female acts on the Glastonbury stages, but no way is womens football going to delay a programme showing what will be predominantly male headliners over the history of the festival.

Not sure if it is of interest to anyone who missed out previously or failed to get a Worthy View tent, but I was on the TF site earlier and some two man tents have gone back on sale.

I do not know if it is of interest to anyone, but was on the Tangerine Fields site today and noticed that some two man tents have come back on sale.

Whilst normally I’d apologise profusely at this point Ben, I got asked for ID buying this evening’s booze in Tescos this morning. So I don’t GAF about anything today. I’ve gone rogue, rouge and I’m skipping on air.

At a festival in the states, they asked for ID and gave me a wristband as proof, let’s say I am considerably older than 21. My group were in stitches when I arrived back with the drinks.

Sad news alert. Turn away if you don’t want to be upset
i came out to the garden this morning, it is beautifully sunny with birds tweeting. To find.....the gherkin jar had been vandalised. Who would do such a thing! I blame the cats next door or the pigeons ( we have very fat pigeons in Pitlton). Big Dog is not pleased. I’m not pleased with BD, who should have been on guard instead of laying in the grass farting. No report for the rainfall over the past 24 hours. The record is lost to the grass., never to be revealed.
It may take some time to get over this tragedy, it may not.
That is not that bad, sad news at this stage would be the gherkin jar actually floating away on the rising groundwater.

Posting my 5000th post with a week to go is good timing , some good times on this forum over the fallow year and before ... just need the upvotes rounding up to a nice even number now ... should I include something about a tree branch or the gravel in my shared garden ?
Have you got a dog you can photograph?, a cat at a push.
possibly happening in September...?

It is not cold in September, the one upside is that the sub acts get to perform in the dark. How many sub sets have you been disappointed with as they happened in daylight? In the last two festivals alone I can think of The National, Biffy and Vampire Weekend that all would have been better in the dark.
The whole after dark vibe from around 7:30pm a whole 2.5 hours earlier, okay doing an all nighter for the sunrise will require a robust constitution.
