'Some' years back, I went to a dirty rave 'in support of a free Tibet' (because as I'm sure you know already, the best way to fight for Tibet's right to self-determination in those days was to munch large quantities of ecstasy tablets and spend 16 hours throwing shapes in front of stolen road works lanterns and talking absolute bollocks to people with luminous mystical symbols drawn on their faces).


The flyers were printed and distributed.


If only someone had told the person responsible for them that 'Lama' only has on 'L'.

Mark E Smith from The Fall. Did anyone see his "performance" at Glastonbury? If you missed it, he was gurning his face off, looked comepletely out of it, pissed himself and sounded terrible. I don't get it, I've seen a documentary about The Fall and he comes across as a waster with no talent. His band members are amazing musicians but I just don't get why anyone would choose to listen to him. John Peel was wrong IMO, Mark E Smith is not a genius, he has no musical talent whatsoever. It's his band that do all the work and he takes all the credit. Unless I'm missing something. Maybe someone can enlighten me?

Having done both ... yes very different atmospheres to each other at the time and now. Dunno about Reading being 'Rock' - mix of rock/indie/grunge/world etc etc. Probably depends what bands you chose to see at the time.

All of the above. I'd add Jon Hopkins, belle and Sebastian, spiritualized and Todd Terje.

Last time I was at Reading (2007) we had a blast as there were loads of us there and some good bands / acts.


BUT on the last night the place went crazy. Gangs of pissed kids literally burning tents, sometimes with people still in them. Loads of stealing going on, it felt like the wild west once the final band had finished. I don't know that I'd be happy with my teenaged daughter going there, I think I'd let her go on the condition she left slightly early and missed that last night.

A few years ago I would have said Muse, but they seem to have turned into a stadium rock parody.


Last Shadow Puppets might be worth a watch. Beck, Editors, Chvrches. Band of Skulls are pretty rockin. Always loved Madness - and I think The Selecter are on one of the smaller stages too.

      Lexus Stolen On Melbourne Grove

      By Jojo_B · Posted

      Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo

      Milk delivery

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.

      Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      By Azalea · Posted

      This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
