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.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
