For those who feel the need to mark out their own area

Surely only to be used for emergency tent repairs and securing beer to trolley?

Here is an alternative for the hipsters :)

One of my claims to fame is that Elizabeth Taylor made me a cup of tea,  I was working as a journalist covering South Wales for national newspapers when Richard Burton died.  By this time he had divorced Elizabeth Taylor and had married Suzy Hunt and was living in Switzerland, where he was buried.

However a memorial service was held near his home town of Port Talbot and Elizabeth Taylor, who was still a close part of the extended Burton (Jenkins) family, came over.

Along with all the journos I went to the memorial service.  Afterwards all the women went back to the family house to prepare the ham sandwiches.  The men (and the journos) opted to go to the pub.

In the pub Richard's brother Graham got absolutely legless.  So when it came to getting him home another reporter and I pretty well carried him, with his arms draped over our shoulders, the mile back to the house.

We knocked on the door, it was opened and we carried him in and plonked him on a sofa.  Liz Taylor was standing there with rubber gloves on doing the washing up.  She turned to me and smiled and said: "Seeing as you've kindly carried him home, the least I can do is make you a cup of tea."

So I sat down next to Graham while Liz Taylor made and brought me a cup of tea.

The things that get hidden away in the countdown thread. This is nearly as good as Pear's Bullseye revelation.

    • My wife works for a music company, they have an allocation already.  They run a ballot for it early next year. 
    • This is my guess too.    2028 festival breaks the £400 barrier. 
    • Yeah I did spot that AXS had more available for the O2 shows Muse are doing, though I think that comes with the territory of AXS now being the venue's primary ticket selling platform.    My instinct remains they'll probably still play to a big crowd on the night - sales were similarly slow in 2023 but videos of those gigs showed the venue looking pretty much full. Equally it probably would be sold out if the pricing was even just slightly less ridiculous. Shave up to £50 off some of these categories and I think that would've got people to go with it. 
    • Some are definitely already there with that and with another round of inflation looking like it's on the way, it certainly locks that in. And I say that as someone who also isn't willing to break the £100 marker.
