I think everyone should hand their phones in on the way in and collect them on the way out.


You've patiently waited all day and slowly picked your way to the very front row to see Dizzee, your fave act, like, EVER. During 'Bonkers', your fave song, like EVER - he decides upon a spot of crowdsurfing. Do you:


a) Enjoy this special moment through the magic of your own eyes where the sacred memory of it will live in your heart forever.


b) Stick your phone in the air, watch the whole thing on a two-inch screen and then bore people to death by showing them out of focus images of Dizzee's knee accompanied by heavily distorted music.

I read somewhere that teh guy who looks like he is holding an ipad actually isn't - it's someone else pointing it in front of him


so twattage was involved, but people might be associated the wrong face


Anyway, The Stones - I thought they were great, especially Country Girl and Get Your Rocks Off. Not sure who the headliners were tho

I started to watch their set on Iplayer this afternoon but after about five minutes I couldn't take anymore. I tried again a little while later but it was even worse. Embarrassing. Fucking awful. I couldn't watch anymore. Yet I saw them a couple of years ago at Shepherds Bush Empire and they were fucking excellent.

PIL should always be experienced in a building with no windows in the performance area and all light electrically driven, saw them last year at the the Forum and they looked and sounded great, when performing songs.

When Rotten took it upon himself to have a go at at the security staff for doing their job, and continued to do so between, it put a bit of a crimp in the evening.

Though there was enough affirmation from the crowd for his rantings, so maybe it was me.

      I’ve tried to find details of surgeries being held before but not found any. The section of the Southwark website that details councillors’ surgeries says that: Your locally elected Councillors will be holding a roving surgery programme in the Dulwich Hill area to enable residents to raise any local issues. Residents will be notified by letter in advance of the date, time and specific streets/roads where the surgery will take place.  Surgeries are not held in August, on Bank Holidays, Easter or in Christmas Week.  Dulwich Hill Ward Councillors I’ve never seen any notification of surgeries being held, including on the DH councillors’ social media accounts. I don’t know if any other residents of Dulwich Hill have? Neighbouring wards all seem to have times and places posted for surgeries.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      I wouldn't feel too bad about that. It's one of the few degree areas that you can do a BA or a BSc in, so it's a fairly wide-ranging and complex subject. Certainly Truss, Kwasi and Reeves seem to struggle with it.

      I can't access the article - what's the gist?  I took the markets getting jittery when she was crying at PMQs to be a sign that they trusted her. But maybe it was because they were simply worried about any form of instability.  The NIC hikes have stymied the economy, which we could all see a mile off. Will a wealth tax improve things? Does anyone here think the trickle down has any impact and that chasing out the super rich will help things? Or are we just seeing off the biggest contributors to the economy? And has the Kwasi approach ever worked anywhere else?  Economics is not my strong point at all, I'd love to know others' opinions, but it seems to be she has few options, especially as the party is so divided.

      does either of them have a surgery? probably not over summer, but I thought they had to give the opportunity for their constituents to meet them.
