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

black-yellow-stripes-188-in-x-10-yd-Add1 

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.

    • It was always going to be the cost. stuff like this:    
    • Man/Woman/Chainsaw anyone? Still 4-5 secret sets to be filled.   New album out today and Rough Trade friendly.       
    • can't edit, but just to add to the above:   i get that the last bit is meant to reinforce the message that they are all horrible people and closing ranks to cover up what has happened and carry on with their lives while poor Celeste is left alone with her trauma...   i get it thematically, i just really hated the way it was on screen and i say that my ending would have made for a better movie.   🙂   
    • Sadly, the ticket map below screams rear 5 blocks not on sale or never have been on sale. Especially when you look at the blue blocks with rows of unsold tickets.   And I say all of this as a big fan of Muse.  
    • Personally, I don't think there will be any changes to the queuing system in place for the 2025 sale.  GFL will be aware that true bots are a risk, but they may also see large collectives of organised folks running multiple devices, containers or profiles to get an advantage as bots themselves, and then struggle to know where to draw the line without penalising folks who are simply more on the ball than others.   They will also be acutely aware that engineering tech to close those gaps will cost, and therefore eat into the money they are able to pass to the Charities, without passing those costs on to punters in the ticket price, which they will be cautious of doing especially after a 2 year break and the inevitable media coverage that will get.   This may all be naive and overly trusting of me though.....
