I recall that the shelves in my parents garage were made from old props from Howard's Way. My brother had acquired the timber from somewhere for free. Many of the shelves had stickers on them with a tv companies name (if I remember rightly), as well as the title Howards Way set, and then the location of where that piece of timber was to be used on the set.

Filmed in Bursledon, Hampshire and the river Hamble. And in the Jolly Sailor pub!

The ex family home was in Birmingham. Still should be, given that I can fully account for the quality build. Me and my family built it from scratch. Anyway, there was also the odd 'Vincent Timber' sticker on the wood made in to shelves. At that time there was a big timber yard in the Selly Oak area of Birmingham. I guess they must have got the  gig for making the props - or at least the timber element of them. That timber yard looked to be a thriving business up until it suddenly shut down. It wasn't the lack of business, I'd say, but that developers wanted their land. It's now a big shopping area, complete with fucking mental traffic conditions thrown in. I've only been to that shopping area a handful of times, but just 'know' that if you weren't careful with your timing, then it'd be a bit similar to the Glastonbury car crush to get out all at once on the Monday, in the car parks leading on to the feebly inefficient main road system adjacent. That'd be a fucking shopping experience and a half. I mean, there you are 'shopping' for a fucking starter. As far as I can see you're down on knees already at that stage. You'd know deep within yourself that this piece of immediate future time, was going to be a bastard. Then you get stuck in the car park. And then someone must die! Someone must die!  lol

Programme was produced by bbc Birmingham, so that probably explains where the timber came from !

That would, in those days, have been at Pebble Mill, which was on the next road up from our house. I'm guessing now that the timber was in a skip outside the studios. I once got in to their social club early one evening, and it was a surprise to see our local news anchor man politely hold a door open for me while I carried a tray of drinks through, that I was, I suspect, more than evidently far too young to have purchased from their subsidised bar, which I had just done.

That news bloke was a bit of a star actually. I was at a staff conference once and he was the 'celebrity' speaker. As he was due to ask questions from the attendees (over 1,000) the management thought it best to have people in the audience who could ask the questions that they wanted the staff to hear. That was their plan anyway, until he must have spotted the false set up and said something along the lines of ' I'll tell you what, let's detour away from what I've been requested to ask the audience'. He then went on to show up the 'management' for trying to pull a stunt like that on their own staff. 

And who was this 'great' man? None other than Bob Warman;

That smooth talking charmer could have had my knickers off me in a flash, such was (and possibly still is) his charm. 

If you're out there reading this Bob, I've already got my pants half way down.

He used to be the 'Governments' Drug Czar. Well, that was up until he told them the truth / facts;

I once donated £50 towards his research in to that anti hangover thing. I seem to remember that at that time it was based on so many people telling him that their outrageous drink consumption was dramatically reduced when they took Mcat. I can confirm that that was certainly the case in me and my wife's case.

All my condolences.

One of my best mates died a few years ago. It was a brutal shock and very painful. I still think about him often, and so want there to be an afterlife so that I can hook up with him again. However, I know full well that he wouldn't want me to hurt and be sad. Quite the opposite, in fact. I'd say that your relative would want the same thing. All the best.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
