"New festivals - clean middle class hippies with their tops on flogging dream catchers to victims, student ket casualties, scousers ransaking your tent 24/7, dogs with bejewweld collars, heavy private security presence, shit music, mumford and @#$%& sons, screaming kids running amok at 2AM, drizzle, everyone wearing designer wellies, organic vegan noodles @ ?10 a pop, designer cup cakes, shitty pop up tents in Union Jack colours"



You just can't argue with that! And you're right *bob*, my best years are behind me. I've done my time man!!!


I'm sure when my kids are older I'll have a second coming, and be the bald fat bastard with his top off sweating pure lager.

EoTR. Too tame and did not appreciate being asked to show my wristband at every single gate/stage entrance for the entire time I was there.

an old breton colleague recommended the route du rock highly, and we almost made it last year, but miserably failed to book a cottage anywhere.


the dreaded nick cave is in attendance so snorkies need not apply.

I'll be lucky to have enough time to switch 6 music on this year, leave alone get away anywhere.

EoTR is definitely... I would say gentle rather than tame. But either way it is definitely that - it set out to be, it largely is and I like that about it compared to other festies (haven't got anything against bigger festivals either btw, but having something different is a good thing)


Bit of an exageration on the wristband front as well, it isn't really that big a deal is it? I agree I'd rather not have to at all, but in all my years there it hasn't ever registered for more than a nanosecond

Totally off topic but I don't want to start a new thread. Anyone on here been to the Relentless Garage in Highbury? I am considering taking a 15 year old girl to a gig there. It's going to be a sold out gig so the place will be at full capacity. Is that too overwhelming for a 15 year old? Will she see anything? I don't want her to have a negative experience and it's frankly not a band I personally want to see.


I'm hoping someone on here will have an opinion because I don't know the venue.


Thank you.

They are an excuse to take lots of drugs, really, if people are honest.

"It's our chance to relax" whilst texting grandma, to see if little pootle is OK.


All the while hoping the gear isn't cut with poison or tainted with Anthrax.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
