Been trying this morning, will let me book my first appointment but can’t find me a 2nd one.... which then means it won’t let me go through with the first booking! How very annoying

There’s probably teething problems, give it a few and try again.

If its not safe now they've all been "fully" (until October) vaccinated...when will it ever be safe for them to live normally again?

October.

I don’t really see anyone deliberately social distancing any more. 

Whereas here people are still making the effort to cross the road so they're not passing you on the foot path, or moving far to the side if needed. Basically: it varies.

They probably just don’t like the look of you 😉

depends what filters you put on your eyes. I see many people trying to do the social distance thing too.

Some bookings available to 30-34 year olds in NI now.

I'd imagine either the end of next week or the start of the following week will see a full opening for 30-34 year olds over here.

Probably by the end of May we'll have limited vaccination slots for 25-29 year olds. Hopefully, as that is the bracket I fall in to!

Probably the same people that wear masks on their own in a car, and put their grocery shopping in the bath to wash it down.

So what? They're not harming you are they?

I wouldn't do those things either but it doesn't bother me if some people do to feel safe.

They are currently doing what we're going to be doing in a couple of weeks - the number of people you can meet with is still restricted, you still need masks indoors and in outdoor public places, they're doing outdoor events with reduced capacity but still no indoor events.

Somehow I don't think you'd be arguing that it was "fully unlocking" if we applied the restrictions Portugal are under now.

Maybe - guess the whole town does that then. It's an older population up here for sure and there's space to actually do those things so I can imagine the inner city is different. But it's 80%+ people doing that.

I thought everyone washed their groceries in the bath.

    • Electric Callboy just said they'll be touring here next year. I'm not sure there's a poster for it though. I'll look when I'm near some next.      He said we'll see you at Download at a gig before any of the band. Presumably he was trolling. They're in Austria at the moment and Germany tomorrow with a week's break and more shows in Germany. Whilst not impossible to come back here and then go over there again, it seems unlikely. 
    • Thomas Partey, knocked back by Canadian immigration now.
    • I'm sure someone can update you on the clashfinder, and it will be pretty accurate by the time the festival comes around. It's a large flat-ish arena with main stage in the open air, no best side I'd say. Leadmill (3rd stage medium tent) is at the back of the main arena, T'Other (2nd stage big tent) 5 min walk round the corner. At full capacity walking around can take a bit more time though. I noticed that The Enemy are scheduled to not fully overlap with Wolf Alice, so you could catch part of their set too.   You can walk around anywhere with a beer, with most bars the usual mass market stuff, but one nice craft ale tent, back of the arena near the Leadmill stage. A main meal will set you back £10-15, but cheaper snacks also available. Expect a pint to be £7-8. Possibly a bit more this year as prices everywhere are increasing.   It's fairly easy to get to from the town centre using the tram, although can be busy at peak times / very busy at curfew. If you like a walk, it's approx 40 mins to Kelham Island (lots of indy venues) and probably an hour to the city, or catch an Uber. There will be loads of 'fringe' music events on around the city right through the weekend. Most are free. Have a wonderful trip, enjoy the festival, and your stay in our city! 
    • I think people on a place like this, that clearly value live music more than most, don't. I'd rather an academy than an arena every day. But I could see a few people that care about "the gram" than the actual music wanting an arena experience even if it's a mid sized band. 
    • The single worst shout for any slot on any stage in the history of efests. Worse even than the Wursels or The Wombles.    Unlikely I’d be there, but okay with the other two. Boy George is a class act, plus he could DJ in Block 9
