I was there (and 1983). It always makes me smile when 6Music listeners compete to impress each other with their earliest Glastonbury.

(Yes, I note that's probably what I'm guilty of here...)

Misunderstanding is what social media was built for!

(If you get what I mean)

I can recommend boring politics!

What was the pod?

Yes, I was there in the 70s, also state school, I knew what you meant, I agree, I see it too.

But as a quiet lad who refused to play along and was excluded from the group, it brought back some of the sadness when included in "everyone".

Nothing more than that, all good.

We didn't all do it.

No, I understand that, and could do that myself. But I was meaning for visitors who are not able to do that.

So I think you've answered my question! Anyway, followed you for more.

Yes, true. But you have to do that because there's nothing useable from the city/service itself.

I was there a couple of weeks ago. Did you find a simple map that made the tram system useable if you are a tourist? We just jumped on the old ones a few times to see where it took us!

It was so painful to hit reply... but it was an open net.

Somebody had to, and it was me this time.

Oh no it isn't!

Sorry, very sorry.

Yay Switzerland!

(Sorry I got a bit overexcited there)

Well you must be very careful not to have Basilisks wandering around your city. "A poisonous worm emerging from the egg of an old rooster, brooded by the warmth of dung." The appearance of the Basilisk is described as "like a cock with dragon's wings, the beak of an eagle and the tail of a lizard."

It is being rude about morris dancing that proves you are British.

Take a look at Kagi.

$5 a month subscription instead of advertisers. Straight to the results. Decent AI if you choose to open it, then the best matches and lots of configuration options.

I found it a few months ago and I'm happy to pay the $5 to support them and to get rid of all that.
