Fair dos. Not really my thing but always thought he'd carved out quite a nice space for himself as a dj so good luck to him.
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? 😛

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

One song from it, yes. Apparently Whispering Bob's favourite set.
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.

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.

I get the point, Fatboy Slim hasn't done anything for 20 years in music, his dj sets are just pressing play for songs not even his.

We drove through Eastville recently on the way down to St Marks Road, past the skate place under the M32. There was a massive crowd of youngsters, a banging sound system playing and a skunk smell strong enough you could smell it in the car as we drove past 😂
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.

for day to day spending at the moment they’ve ruled it out.
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.

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.

Thankfully nanny/grandad aren’t too far if she really hates it. She’s pretty robust, comes with us everywhere so we think she should be okay, but obviously Glastonbury is a different ball game!its very do-able but something might catch you out, be prepared to quit if you have to.
get your kid familiar with the music of an act you'll definitely see, they will enjoy bands more if they recognise what they're hearing (i think they then understand what the whole thing is about).
my ex-neighbour took her two year old foster child that she'd only had for 3 months, i thought that was very brave of her.
- if you think you'll take kid again in the future, remember that you don't have to squeeze everything in this year.
- make sure you do some circus and cabaret as the kid is more likely to enjoy stuff that isn't music.
keep it varied, when kid gets tired give them time to sleep, it'll make your life easier. dealing with a tired kid is the worst thing.
above all, remember to have fun and enjoy it. 🙂

So, all being well tomorrow we are hoping to be back on the farm! We’re planning to take our 10 month old with us… are we insane? Any tips? 🤪
i've done it with an 10 month old too. was very had work, was a very rainy & muddy year.
get one of those backpack carriers, it gets baby above the crowds where he/she can see. my kid was throwing (shapes) his arms up in the air to the music, was very cute. and could then fall asleep with his head on my shoulder
- get ear defenders
- get some solar fairylights to put on pushchairs, etc, festival goers don't expect low level obstacles.
- take a tent with a big floor that baby can crawl on.
- use the kidz field its lovely and fantastic.
have a backup plan(granny on standby? maybe).
if your kid hates it, do what's right for your kid

I didn't say anything about paying extra did I?, I said I was happy to pay £50 which was the bottom amount to get what I did.
my apologies for my misunderstanding.

Yeah Madonna doesn’t skimp on production as that's where a lot of your money goes. I was happy to pay £50 and get a high, far away but decent view.
you were happy to pay extra to be further away from it? its normally done the other way pay extra to be closer.😛

there used to be someone (i forget who) posting here who was involved in the organisation, they might join in with your discussion if you keep the talk going. 🙂

Any significant growth won't happen for at least a couple of years (if at all) so they're going to have to either raise taxes or cut spending.decent funding of public services should create some growth.
