After 5 power cuts since Sunday, including one which lasted 24 hours, we finally seem to have power back. 

See how long it lasts

Did they mention him, or the Glastonbury festival?

[philipsteak]

For some reason, eFestivals is no longer blocked at work.

'Somebody' in control of such things might be a fan, and cannot bear  being away from the site, even in school time.

Or, they may be on another site, but opening that means opening the sluice gates on the whole.

 

Or - any number of reasons. I'm only making suggestions as they enter my head.

I'm going to go with oversight or someone f**ked up.

Usually explains most things

Sadly no, all about willow farming. As far as I am concerned discussing Somerset farming without mentioning him was a huge omission and typical of the decline in standards of the bbc

Managed to get 2 tickets on T-Day from hospital bed in China after emergency surgery on intestines.

Being back in UK a while now and finally starting to feel normal again, back at work but only doing 3 day week. Got first gig of the year Zutons this Friday. Can't really drink alcohol anymore but after 2+ weeks on a drip just having real food and non-alcoholic beverages is a blessing.

Can't wait for June!

I'm going to Glastonbury 2024! Managed to bag myself a space with Oxfam this morning after a lot of F5ing!

I'm not usually one to air personal matters publicly, but I'm happy to report that after a particularly rough period battling my depression, I'm now off the anti-depressants and out of therapy after the worst 5 months of my life.  It feels amazing to feel strong enough to cope again and feeling positive about the future.

Transporting and inhaling in one package. Ingenious.

You feel able to air this battle you have had publicly, that is a really good sign. Well done, it can’t have been easy.

Wonderful news. Brighter, happier times are ahead! In a field in June for starters.

Well, to be honest, my 'modification' negated the pressure within the chamber. In fact, I actually carefully hacksawed through the metal cartridge (just below the product sticker that was on it). Little did I know that when the last saw of the hacksaw pierced the pressurised chamber, that the whole thing would shoot and bounce off the walls of the little office that I was in like a tracer bullet. Then I fed the powder into the cut groove, slowly but surely. Then I placed a strip off a plain white sticky one sided address label over the cut hole in the chamber, so that it married up with the official sticker ie no visible seam. And that was it.

Hardest thing for me is breaking links. Cigarette with coffee, after a meal, arriving in new place or situation, when I want a break etc

But maybe the hardest is the link between cannabis and tobacco.

Am currently using a pipe (old school), but investigating vapes.

Anyway, still going strong
