I watched C4 news in complete and utter disbelief last night.

Something interesting to note. Bellfield killed two more women after Milly Dowler. If the hacking interfered enough to prevent his capture, then it also enabled him to kill again. Twice.

Turns out they also hacked the 7/7 families too.

I remember watching a debate with John Prescott & a guy from News Of The World and the excuse they used was because celebs & politicians are high profile by their own choice they can't complain when stuff like this happens.

I hope that a block is put on the sale of Sky whilst this is looked into.

I caught a little of the commons debate earlier and the Shadow Justice Minister (I forget his name) urged the govt to block the sale until all the issues around the hacking have been worked thru. It'll be interesting to see how the tories respond to that idea - we've got a week at most until we'll find out.

But previously their view was that nothing about the hacking was of any relevance to the sale of Sky, which of course has nothing at all to do with Dave Moron's bessie mates being the two people right at the heart of the hacking, or the fact that Dave Moron had Rupert round to Downing Street before he'd even appointed his cabinet, despite having banged on about how the country was in a state and needed fixing immediately. :lol:

    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
    • Wow just got myself some Megadeth tickets and not sure I can afford another set of tickets for another gig so soon but we'll see. Fingers crossed
    • Can't speak for Dua Lipa's, but Coldplay's was vastly scaled down compared to their stadium production staging though, and tracks were adapted to reflect that. MOTS tour had a full walkway 30m out to the B-Stage in the middle of the crowd, and two C-Stages. Glastonbury didn't accommodate that at all and just had a very small walkway in front of the Pyramid stage, and (IIRC) a disconnected B-Stage.   Which re-enforces my point. Acts can adapt their stage shows if they really want. Most do, some don't want to. Glastonbury might miss out on the odd act that doesn't want to slightly adapt, but so will most festivals.
