Just a bit of info. If anyone was thinking of Going to the Springsteen concert in Hyde Park on June 28th. Ticketes meant to go on sale this Friday but Ticketmaster/O2 seemed to have messed up & they are available now as a presale but without any need for passwords/codes etc. Just follow the link to ticketmaster. o2 website

Exactly Hooch. She's a whore and a half who needs a good slap and he had no business going there. Typical man, he's now pulling the "Oh I don't know what came over me and I'm very very sorry" routine. I shall forgive him eventually (before the June gig, obviously), but I think he needs a little time on the naughty step so he can think about what he did wrong.

Hello ED,


Is there anyone going to see the Boss on Sunday that is planning to be there all day and might like a bit of company? If the weather is fine I'm tempted to go for the duration but my companion is only intending to arrive for 7pm. I would like to go for the day and see the supports, but not on my own. Anyone on the forum going and up for that? I'm vipped so I can get to the free bar and get a round in (yeah)!

He was playing ( un-known to me ) at Crystal palace park sometime back & within good earshot of our house, we were away and returned later on that evening


"Who's making that racket over the park then ?" my fragrant other inquired


"Sounds like some dodgy Sprinsteen tribute act" I replied knowingly.....


Hmmm ..




W**F



*See I'm right good wiv music me!*

My co-workers are going to glasto to see him & rave abt him, i just thought that he was a standard US rocker & naturally i'm keen to find out more. what tracks should i listen to, in order to appreciate his greatness? i do think that 'Born to run' rocks tho

Probably not getting to Hyde Park until about 6pm due to family lunches and an allergic reaction to the Dave Matthews Band. Will also be recovering from seeing an Elvis tribute act performing Springsteen songs on Saturday night!


Thunder Road is also probably my favourite, 1st 2 lines are etched onto my ipod. But got into Springsteen on the River tour so I love songs like Point Blank, Fade Away, The Price you Pay etc. The whole Nebraska album stands the test of time and at the other extreme the Seeger Sessions tour included some of the best concerts I've ever been to.

Thunder Road makes me weep from beginning to end.


I love this

Also a big fan of the Seeger session tour.


I still haven't got my head around the Walmart debacle though. He's a rock star as rich as God and he had some fekking nerve laying that on his fans.

I know you are a bigger music fan than most but do we really expect these rock stars not to make the most of commercial opportunites - they milk us to the max on CD prices and concert ticket prices - we don't seem to mind that - why are we suprised if they take an additional few million from an advert.


These guys are multi multi millionaires - they did not get there by missing opportunities. I know you are dissapointed that he did this but I'd say the apology was nothing more than public relations.


These rock stars are like mini Walmarts - huge money making machines on legs. I'm there for the music - don't mind what else he does to make money.

I know he's rich now but the old songs are there forever, written when he was poor.

The Boss is now a true American legend. As Carnell rightly says - a genius storyteller with a repertoire that goes way beyond his 80 synth pop GLORY DAYS. And his band are as tight as gnats chuff Live. Not to mention the Soprano's!


I very luckily managed to wangle two freebies from my music journo pals who are all getting muddy and wasted at Glasto.


Hyde Park is not my favourite outdoor venue if there's a breeze but unlike Glasto I can get home in 40 mins and have a hot shower. It promises to be a great night - can't wait.


All hail The Boss.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
