Tee Hee. I was also holding it in for that very reason (and then they bloomin well closed the loos up by the main stage - drats). I am *ashamed* to say I was quite taken with Mr Josh Klinghoffer :-$ and Mr Reznor ;-)


Oh dear - am likely to be disowned by the rainbow drinks crowd for that comment. Ah well.

it was in may i did it and it was hell but got round in 54 mins so pleased enough. the only running i have done for the last week was to the bar as i have just spent a fantastic week in the lovely town of st valery sur somme in picardy,very highly recommended and only 70 miles down the coast from calais so easily reached but a world away from ed and the smoke.

certainly is tt,the place has history coming out of its pores,i,ll definately be back most likely for the easter break. by the way did you find the grave, i did take a walk throught the local graveyard looking for the war graves of which there were quite a few from ww1 and ww2, always like to pay my respects whenever im in northern france/belgium,call it morbid facination or a sense of duty to those who died for our freedom i dont know, but if your great grandfather is one of the fallen in st valery cemetery then he had an unknown irishman stop last week and spare a thought for him.
Thanks for that Spadetownboy. That was quite a touching thing to say. Unfortunately didnt find his grave but will definately be going back again now I have done some more research. I think morbid fascination and sense of duty and respect go hand in hand in those situations.

    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car. 
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
    • There's a food bank off Dog Kennel Hill. Albrighton Community Fridge. https://www.albrightoncommunityfridge.org/ I'm sure they would welcome them, but maybe check first, as they don't actually mention fresh fruit on their website? But apples aren't that perishable. Drop off seven days a week 9 - 5. Be warned if you are going by car, parking can be very difficult, easiest if there are two of you so one person can take the food in while the other can move the car if necessary.
    • Food banks for sure and what about approaching these schools in area that run summer camps - although having said that with health and safety being so strict might not allow it - crazy really.    Can’t remember name of church but was one in Peckham that from memory did a community meal a couple of times a week. Now they for sure would take them and probably Kingswood House as well.
