Anybody know how many days we’ve ‘legally’ been allowed to meet friends and family indoors in the past 365 days? And has this always been limited to a certain number, I can’t remember with all the lockdown fog!

Nah, the EU politicians only care about how we're doing in terms of how it compares to their own efforts - it's not about punishing us, it's about saving face at home. Not everything is about us.

Or they are trying to focus on their own and ensure their citizens get access to vaccines. We would expect the same from our government.

I think parts of Leicester had 5 minutes.

Doesn't hide the fact the EU fucked up and is now trying to make others pay for their mistakes. Banning anything will only cause everyone more harm and will be reciprocated. They should just do more vaccinating and telling their people that they are safe, as opposed to doing their best to discredit the AZ vaccines and then moan they arent getting enough of it.

The EMA have said regularly through the last few weeks that the AZ vaccine is safe and approved it for use in all adults. It was individual countries that suspended the use and cited concerns.

And some still are risking lives by not bothering to restart.Spain are faffing around and haven't restrated yet. France and Germany faffing about ages. Maybe they should sort themselves out first before trying to punish us for getting on with it and pretending its because of 'fairness;

Those countries are potential making mistakes by doing that but the EU itself has had the AZ vaccine fully approved through all of this. It’s sovereign nations that are making those calls.

I mean, I think Johnson is talking bollocks about a third wave but not in the same way she does. Any third wave will be less than we had before and should cause minimal death because of the Vaccines. He's just using it to try and keep his backbenchers in check and prep the ground for a bit of cooperation with Europe.

    • First time for me, really enjoyed it. Nice venue, nice weather, good vibes, etc.   Notes on performances: CMAT's a great performer - seen her live twice now.  GANS are my favourite new act since Big Special, and live they're fantastic. Fellow Brummies too, so I'm all about that. The album's a bit disappointing though. Primal Scream were great, although I felt the crowd seemed a bit muted. The Libertines sounded knackered. Not sure they're suited to a festival. First time seeing The Royston Club, thought they were very good - the tent seemed to be full of kids on each others shoulders singing along. I'm all about that. First time seeing the K's, a bit disappointed. Didn't like his voice, and I felt like every song sounded the same as the last one. Sarajevo is a good tune, though. It still sounds like all the others, just a bit better.  The Maccabees and Two Door Cinema club were a but underwhelming, but Pelican by the Maccabees is a banger. It all sounded a bit Travis/Early Coldplay to me though. The Wombats took me by surprise - I expected 1 1/2 hours of 'Let's Dance to Joy Division' style indie-landfill, so I was surprised to hear that some of the rest of their stuff had dynamics and range. I still don't think they're any good, but I can't say they didn't surprise me either. Just not my thing.   Surprise of the weekend for me was Rizzle Kicks. Never listened to them before, but they got me out of my tent and into the arena as I was trying to nurse a hangover and I thought it was a blast.    Will probably go next year too.  
    • Not really anything to say other than the fact I'm down at Opeth and this has been a cracking summer by and large here. Few duds, plenty of sellouts, strong weather, and the craft beer is cheaper than the regular bar. Winner winner, chicken dinner! 
    • Pink Floyd night on sky arts time for me  to wallow in nostalgia and remember some incredible gigs
