'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.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By Jasonlondon · Posted

      We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.

      Council "weed" removal

      Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.
