I donāt get why you are all so worried?
Yes, thereāll be lots of late nights, and fizzy drinks, and junk food. Just keep them on some decent dinners for a week or two and itāll 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!
Sheās already found herself in a few crowd clips in the BBC iPlayer footage & planning next summer.
Best comment was āSaturday evening was weird because the crowd filled up with old peopleā. 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.

Donāt forget, when you are a teenager, anyone from about 28 is an old person.

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.

Itās 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 walletā¦

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.
