Dear Bob,


I would love to understand the matter to which you are referring... Have you been trying to buy tickets to the mud festival of the year? I do hope not.


There is nothing that could possibly entice me along to listen to music in a venue that provided chemical toilets for its patrons! The music that young people listen to these days has no harmony or melody.


But if Take That were playing, well, that would be an entirely different matter.


Do they have a corporate entertaining area per chance?

D-Mum,

Yes indeed.. Tickets for the MudFest went on sale at 9am prompt this morning. Increased security since 2005 means The Good Ole Days of driving down (without a ticket) and paying a Liverpudlian a tenner for the use of his ladder are over. And getting a ticket is something of an internet lottery, alas.


You should try it.. with your hybrid car eco-credentials you'd be well-in there.

Dear Mr Bob,


Have they announced who is playing there this year? I could only consider it if Gary Barlow was there in his rubber trousers. I love the video of Take That's current track, Gary looks so chunkey in his flat fronted trousers! He is such a cuddley guy, and a super dad.


And even if Gary was there, it would have to be dry weather - mud free, and a flushing toilet!

honestly DM,


praise of take that and an overt lack of understanding with regards to the greatest music festival on earth, is surely not a becoming attitude for an east-dulwicher?!


the more mud, the better - thats what I say!!!!


you couldnt wear your UGG boots though, they would get well and truly ruined.....

Dear Dream_saturdaygirl,


Now Wellingtons - just try to make them trendy! It will never happen.


Really, to replace ones Uggs or not, now there is a real debate, surely desserving of a thread in itself! You see I think that whole Kate Moss thing is so pasee. She is just a tramp with a drugee boygfiend in tow!


Do Uggs really look good or not?


I think corporate tickets are in order, or really, only if Gary will be there.


Have you seen the cover of The Style Supplement this Sunday? OHMYGOD!!!!


No fun ever, with only a chemical toilet??? - am I showing my age?

No no, thrice no

Surely the answer for the disappointed is to head round to D-Ms back garden on the appointed weekend and have your own festival? Fill the kids paddling pool with mud, drink cheap cider, BBQ some cheap veggie burgers and slap a Take That CD on the CD player. How authentic can you get?

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
