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.

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.

wasn't aware of that will try to find more on it.

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!

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.

the uk's sicknote culture = seeing others retire at 55.

now sunak wants to force the disabled back to work without anything to help them do it https://www.theguardian.com/society/2024/apr/21/help-disabled-people-england-wales-jobs-axed-benefits-crackdown

Can't be similar soil pilton clay doesn't dry out that fast

not true i've been rained on a few times, had to stop and get my waterpoofs out on wednesday. also got very wet on tuesday.

why can't young people get great jobs...? GW has got them all.

heres one for the Starmer haters who won't be telling us how much he hates this Starmer policy position David Lammy (hardly a right-winger) said : "Our guiding light will be progressive realism" HOW WOULD UNREALISM BE BETTER? 😛

i've seen a bit less of it this year so-far but normally for an act or two on arcadia. i'm just pointing out that they play other people's records same as you said for Norm.

i alway think tosh and bunny look mighty fine in that. yesterday i discovered that bob Marley supported Johnny Nash on a UK tour. i also recently found out that bob supported Bruce Springsteen in new York.

not seen this mentioned yet...... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-68854158

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

same for the other dj's people cream themselves about.

did they drag out the wailers session - they always seem to use that, often talking heads too.

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.

Did I see Steve hillage band on the line -up if Ihes there he's definitely a guitar act.

No sign of old bill hundreds of people and some very loud sound systems

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.

the greens probably don't want to be part of the snp's fraud.

no problem, just found this one too. https://www.efestivals.co.uk/festivals/glastonbury/info-TakingKids.shtml

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
