Getting stuck for 5 miles on country roads behind a black Honda CRV being driven at 22 in 30mph zones, and 34 in 50mph zones. Finally getting past him and going to do some shopping, only to find the self same nuisance going back 2 hours later and being stuck behind him again.

Why should the main headline slot be reserved for acts from the 60s and 70s, especially as most of the audience, or possibly even their parents, weren't alive then ? It would be like you and I, in our 20s, going to a festival to watch Glenn Miller.

Not sure Alex's Twitter feed picked up on this; https://edition.cnn.com/2023/06/26/politics/trump-classified-documents-audio/index.html

Don't worry JB, I'm sure he'll put some pictures in it so that you don't feel excluded.

A right wing US 'journalist' quoting a Republican Party media channel and deliberately misinterpreting something Biden said. Alex really has his finger on the pulse.

How long is 'long established' ? The Foos have been around for 29 years. Given the technology is now established, how long before we see Elvis Presley or some other dead 'legend' playing a holographic CGI set ?

You said that you wanted "a mix of education and experience of normality." after stating you didn't see Angela Raynor as being suitable as an MP because her election in her early 30s was "too quick to be able to claim educational pros (as she dosent have them) or enough time to claim a “normal life” benefit to electorate". Those statements contradict each other. You also said that she had "no qualifications", so I asked what qualifications you expected. I clearly did read what you posted.

What 'qualifications' do you expect ? Prep school, Eton, and a PPE at Oxbridge ? Being a rich investment banker ? Being the son of a Lord and former Cabinet member ? Having been a researcher for and assistant to an existing MP before being parachuted into a safe seat ? Woe betide having an MP who has lived a 'real' life. Or is there an age qualification ? The youngest current MP was elected at the age of 23, and at the last election 21 MPs were under 30, what life experience did they have, eh ?

Lisa Nandy is MP for Wigan and Angela Raynor is my son's MP in Ashton-under-Lyne, so both are Northern, and Raynor Is most certainly not 'thick'.

Should he get rid of all the Northern women in the shadow cabinet ?

After Elton I had a major switch in styles and watched Queens Of The Stone Age rocking the Other Stage.

Ours is the same.

Glenn Matlock playing bass for. Blondie following on from the Pistols / Generation X fusion of 'Generation Sex'. Glastonbury, where old punks go to top up their pensions.

And then buggered up the start of "Some girls.......", perhaps it was the Jaeger chaser.

Everybody else seems to have done the same. Probably uncertainty with the Kookaburra ball. Edit: everybody bar Surrey.

This round and the next are using it to gather 'performance data' to see if it impacts bowling, particularly slower seamers and spinners. https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/countycricket/kookaburra_balls_two_rounds_county_championship_high_performance_review_changes.html

Can't see many batting points for Hants, again. Only consolation is Middx have only picked up 1 in their 6 matches so far...........we all know how this one pans out.

Vince gets what the BBC reckon was a very dodgy LBW.

If anybody knows about neo-nazis in Ukraine it is Dmitry Utkin, Wagner's primary field commander, a violent ultra-nationalist who has swastika and SS tattoos, and was born in Ukraine.

According to Russian reports those who did not take part yesterday will be offered contracts in the regular army. Priggy will go into a supposed exile in Belarus, but without any of his troops - but will almost certainly look to hire a tea taster to join him in his bungalow pdq. Probably most of those involved yesterday will be sent to Syria or Mali to continue their missionary work under Wagner's military leadership, ( of which Prigozhin was not a part ).

Rick Astley doing a cover of "Highway to Hell", on drums, in his own set, and an entire set of Smiths covers with Blossoms, Dave Grohl guesting with just about everybody, Manics were totally rank, GnR came acros as a couple of hours of white noise. Glasto is always a mix of highs, the unexpected, new discoveries, and disappointing anti-climax. Hopefully Elton John can draw the whole weekend to an appropriately over the top climax.

Not nit-picking over the typo, but an Australian IT support person told me how he knew the phonetic difference between "rowters" and "rooters"; you 'rowt' data and 'root' women.

That just shows what a good job he is doing.

A mod that lets you stay active.

And you are a specialist in nicking Internet memes.
