Didn't know Purple Turtle had closed, that's a bummer. Played there more than once. So jealous of you lucky sods with tickets for tonight. Has the feel of a legendary gig about it.

PASSPORT PANIC 😳 Just had mini meltdown thinking my passport may not be valid due to non-EU rules now applying to UK passport holders, post-Brexit (of course). Mine was issued Sept '12 but valid til June next year (as I renewed early and they added the maximum extra 9 months on). Basically EU/ Schengen countries will now only let you in if your passport a) was issued less than 10 years ago and b) has at least 3 months remaining on your return date - however having checked numerous sources, those remaining < 3 months do NOT also need to be within 10 years of issue. The Govt website says some Schengen countries may not let you in unless your passport has those minimum 3 months within 10 years of the issue date- effectively saying your passport needs to have been issued less than 9 yrs, 9 months prior to your return date. This is NOT the case (thankfully, as it would have scuppered me by 1 day). It's very confusing and if you're in any doubt, you might want to check- we're flying with BA who point you towards the IATA website to check your passport validity. https://www.iatatravelcentre.com/passport-visa-health-travel-document-requirements.htm

La Femme at Kentish Town Forum on Thursday. Superb!

I had that (through queue, entered my presale code) at about 20 seconds past ten and was super fast clicking it all but STILL didn't get tickets. The sadness is real!

Well that was shit.

Got through queue in less than 30 seconds but no tickets left. WOE. Hate hate hate the random Ticketmaster queue system, have never had any joy with it.

Errmaaghhherrrrrd. I need to go to there.

I did a broadcasting degree at Leeds Uni in the early 2000s and, through a series of random connections, Savile ended up being a celebrity guest on my mate's assessed 'live studio show'. He was, even at the time, deeply creepy- I remember him trailing his hands along everyone's shoulders in the TFI-style audience corridor as he made his entrance- but we never felt remotely threatened or worried. He was just the weird, super-old oddball from distant memories of 80s TV. But when it all came out that he was this horrific predator, not one of us were even slightly surprised. Can only think it must have been pretty obvious in his prime TV years- fairly terrifying how easily power and influence can keep an obvious wrong'un away from scrutiny for so long.

Bluey is just excellent. Hey Duggee has lots of slightly surreal brilliance for the grownups while keeping the small ones occupied. I thought Night Garden was a load of rubbish at first but it became a hypnotic must-watch once our firstborn got old enough to be put to bed on his own. Our youngest watched Numberblocks almost continually for two years- can't complain TBH as he's doing great at maths so far 🤣 Back to adult programming- Peaky Blinders finished strongly, new Derry girls was predictably ace (Liam!!!) and I can't wait for No. 9. But favourite recent watch has to be Moon Knight on Disney +

This is great news!

Cheers, will do!

My friend might be keen on one of these, think the only NatEx options still available are hideously early! We've potentially got up to 4 Bristol returns with SeeTickets going spare if anyone needs (Monday 1030).

We've got at least one SeeTickets return coach to Bristol someone in our group won't be using, you're welcome to use it. 1030 Monday morning.

9.30 for us. Very civilised.

Ah thanks, we're actually in the tipi field onsite. First time we've gone a little bit 'posh' 🤣

Yes- 2016 I got a coach from Reading on Thursday morning- details below, no idea if it'll be the same this year but fingers crossed! DEP THURS 08:30 Your Pick-Up Point is: STAND NC ON TROOPER POTTS WAY, READING STATION NORTHERN INTERCHANGE, BEHIND THE RANGE, RG1 8AL
