Ah, did you used to be a TOSser too?!

Way back when! More craic here though (there were plenty of cross posters though!)...

I remember the old, official forums. I abandoned eFests like the fickle fucker I am and spent all my time reading the Ask Infoman thread.

Then they abruptly sacked Infoman and handed the forums over to someone else (Virtual Festivals?)

In those days I didn't haunt the forums all year round and returned a few months later to find the place completely deserted apart from a long, tedious thread where the admins were naval gazing about some unknown "incident", only pausing to growl at anyone who dared discuss bands outside the Campfire sub-forum.

They had far too many sub-forums for the reduced number of posters, leading to every sub-forum feeling empty, meaning anyone like me who wanted a Glastonbury forum to read+post in hung around for five minutes before hitting Google and going straight back to eFests.

Especially if you dared to talk about music in the wrong forum.

Thanks! That will both parents having their first dose. My Dad is late 50s so they are getting through them in my area.

I hung around there in my student days, so it was a choice of posting shit on the internet or working on my dissertation. No prizes for guessing what won.

I should have expected that response, I posted it as Tootsie was one of the regular posters on the board along with Porkalot his partner, I thought it would jog a few memories, and was just a play on the "cross" joke.

I don’t think you needed to link to a person.

Since it offended you so much I've deleted it, it's still in your quote though, you can delete it too if you wish.

Surely they wouldn't mind, being called Tootsie and all?

We are getting to stage now where it’s ‘this time last year...’ I remember this interview, it hardly seems a year ago.

A politician with a grasp on detail and a very clear vision of how to take action.

And 12 sodding months ago.

Johnson may have gone to the same school and the same university as him but intellectually and in terms of leadership qualities they are galaxies apart.

The difference is Rory Stewart wasn’t being advised by the Chief Scientific Advisor to wait until spread was accelerating before locking down rather than lock down early to stop spread happening at all.

Still doesn't sound like all restrictions removed for 4th July - smaller gatherings only. Makes our 21st June look, again, a little less realistic than we might hope

For now I'll choose to take this as "for the time period when waiting for everyone else"...

 I dont care about the July 4th thing. I care that in a month and a half anyone who wants a shot should be able to get one when they can get through whatever means is available. The administration has always been about under promising and once again, over delivering. I dont think mask wearing is going anywhere til at best the holiday season but thats being really optimistic with thag.

Steady and slow for Wales. We’re opening non essential shops on the same date as England.
