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.

i used to love guilfest and womad with my kid. others will probably have different ideas.

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.

i see the beeb have found a way to keep Huw Edwards off our screens

still around the same percentage as they got last election

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.

So are you pridz had a big hit with someone else's record, not a straight version but someone else's.

Eric pridz plays steve wildwoods records.

Resale was yesterday.

I remember me saying demand will hold prices up and being told they'd fall loads.

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.

wouldn't be like utd to have the refs on a string. 😛

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.
