I don’t get why you are all so worried? Yes, there’ll be lots of late nights, and fizzy drinks, and junk food. Just keep them on some decent dinners for a week or two and it’ll all be sweet. ---

Eldest C\_S offspring back from Reading Had a great time and came back remarkably sober - but more importantly in one piece. All that good worry wasted! She’s already found herself in a few crowd clips in the BBC iPlayer footage & planning next summer. Best comment was “Saturday evening was weird because the crowd filled up with old people”. I gently pointed out that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were no spring chickens and that me and Mrs C\_S had seen them in Brixton years ago before they became well known. ---

Don’t forget, when you are a teenager, anyone from about 28 is an old person. ---

I gently pointed out that the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were no spring chickens and that me and Mrs C\_S had seen them in Brixton years ago before they became well known. Be careful, Cobber. There are sexual predators at festivals. How do I know this? When my, then, 17 year old daughter first went to Reading, I posted about it on TSW. Bear, who had also been at Reading, then posted a work of (hopefully) fiction where he met a 17 year old girl who he had sexual congress with. From memory he described her as bald and talking like The Butler from Downtown (sic) Abbey - two of my apparent characteristics. I grilled the daughter about it but she denied everything. However the next day her mother found all of her Teddy bears discarded in a bag by the bin. Something had traumatised her. ---

It’s why I carry no cash - any cash mysteriously disappears. Various unstable elements and isotopes have been known to exist for longer in the Swiss collider thingy than cash in my wallet… ---

Does a second ACL op in 18 months count? Currently sat in a hospital bed (which is too fucking short) waiting to go to theatre. See you on the other side folks, I hope. Be nice to each other. ---
