    i use a combination of ibuprofen and a pain killer like paracetomol, sometimes anti-inflmaitaries alone are not enough. Heat is also very good, a hot water bottle for an hour or so in the right spot.

    I stretch fairly un-scientifically, after years and years of back problems i know which bits to stretch and generally feel the bits that are tight and find a stretch that helps.

    I have excellent core strength but sadly this doesn’t help a lot as my stomach muscles just spasm to compensate.

    If it’s around the sacrum then just rotating your hips (ie lifting one side) may help, sometimes i do this and get a satisfying ‘click’ and a release of pressure

    i know a PC repair chappy near Ratcliffe. He’s a sarcastic git with a lack of social skills, these are the kind of people that you need to fix PCs.

    graphics card problem

    the graphics are handled by the computers own processor until the operating system loads and enables the graphics card. you should be able to start the computer in safe mode (hold the f8 key whilst the computer starts up) which will not enable the graphics card i think. this may allow you to get files off it. dropping it could have broken a connection on the card or something similar

    this is mostly speculation after a similar thing happened to me, i’m no expert

    very good friend is a CSI manager for the police and a forensic anthropologist. She’s never happier than when poking around decomposed nastiness.

    From what she says you’ll need to be 100% sure that you have a very VERY VERY strong constitution emotionally as well as physically.

    Friends have an S-Max and i’ve been quite impressed. Not much luggage space with all the seats in though

    Espace – consistently the best and most flexible in my experience BUT it’s made by Renault and WILL blow up in spectacular fashion

    FPR is a better technology but has it’s limitations due to viewing angle (especially head rotation) and total resolution

    LG seem to think they can reproduce full HD though which is cool although i’m not sure how they do this, theoretically it’d require the pixels to alternate their polarization or a 3840*2160 screen res

    actually 1080i would be possible with normal res HD screen, 1080p wouldn’t i think

    I saw Ed Sheeran do a Dylan cover

    he had a broken string, that’ll have thrown it out a bit especially if he was fishing around for notes to compensate.

    Chemicals for the light show/graphics and Elbow for getting the audience going.

    worst – Pendulum, utter utter tosh

    pretty sure the BBC will be monitoring in surround sound of some form (most likely 5.1)

    this means that best results will come from listening in 5.1 (only available through HD)

    Not sure about how the BBC process a 5.1 mix down into ProLogic, but it should be a fairly good representation, prologic is embedded in a stereo signal so theoretically speaking you should get a fairly decent stereo mix if you don’t have surround

    Vocals will never sound as good truly live like that, there’s no time for all the processing needed to compress music to sound good through broadcast medium, effects and such will be used more heavily in the live mix, this will come across as a bit heavy handed on broadcast i suspect which will tend to mask the vocal a bit

    You also have to bare in mind that despite exhaustive rehearsal and pre set sound check (probably on an identical desk to the one used FOH) festival sets are initially done ‘blind’ without a full sound check through the rig. This has been made a lot easier with the advent of digital desks where an identical board is used backstage to sound check then the settings transferred to FOH

    Watching glasto has made me realise that not getting into that side of the industry when i was a bit fresher was a big mistake. I feel a mid life festival crew period coming in my life. It’s a shame it’s poorly paid :-(

    seeing all those hangs of line array made me moist :oops:

    sound was ok on my Surround sound off BBCHD

    Sound tuned for them not you

    Not strictly true, the BBC will take a pre mix feed straight from the multicore or desk, this will be engineered for telly. BBC aren’t always the best though, top of the pops used to have a similar problem which i put down to the engineers not taking into account the reinforcement in the home (ie telly speakers)

    who the **** goes to the headline acts anyway?

    about 100000 people

    that’s what persuaded me to put my name down for 2013 tickets

    if all those people are watching the headline acts then there’ll be more space for me to watch some random german hippies performing folk art with feather dusters and tractor engines or something

    Anyway, Jo’s back on HD now :-)

    I’m a god in my own mind

    distinctly average in everybody else’s mind

    i’ve ridden stuff a lot of people on here wouldn’t even look at but scared myself to the point of becoming happy with turning stuff down. I’m more than happy to be more than happy with my riding ability without wishing to compare it to others i ride with.

    I’m better than Hora, that’s what matters.

    not sure what people have against Lauren Lavern, i think she’s a refreshing change to the vacuous bimbo presenters that bbc yoof/4music turn out. She’s great on the culture show. she’s like Fearn but with brains, and less tatoos, and not an ex ballerina

    :P

    80 should be fine unless it’s a mega thin tyre or a really knackered lightweight rim.

    i use a dab of washing up liquid around the tyre bead if i have a tight one

    plenty of far far far older musicians don’t require prompt, to me it just smacks of distance from the music.

    it’s tantamount to miming, it might work for their massive ‘hide behind the production’ tours where the show is more theatre than music but a festival performance is about the music. Bono even said ‘it’s the first time we haven’t played in front of our own audience’. Don’t get me wrong, i like a lot of U2 songs and their tours are an awesome spectacle but they missed the spirit of glasto completely. As does their security trampling on the tax protest.

    just my opinion

    It’s a shame bands like Lau don’t get more airtime, folk in just as accessible a style as Mumford and Sons. BBC should try to cover a bit more away from the mainstream in the TV coverage in my opinion, they have the odd ‘ooh lets laugh at the freaks’ section but fail to get into the spirit of glasto really.

    if i’d paid good money to go and see a band who’ve been touring for nearly 30 years and they were using prompt for song lyrics (both bono and Larry had screens) I’d be absolutely livid. smacks of sitting on vast piles of money and playing out every now and then to satisfy Bono’s god complex.

    i switched over to listen to Heidi on Radio 1 as soon as i spotted the prompt.

    I did however like when Zaine Low got all upset because Lauren Lavern didn’t let him smell U2’s soup

    he really is a prize cock

    descending like that must be as hard/similar to nailing some techy single track

    scarier, it’s the acceleration that gets you, as soon as you are off the brakes you just plummet. found in the pyrenes on a loaded tourer that about 45mph and above it just gets terrifying. far more scared than any techy exposed alpine stuff i’ve ridden

    Take loads of anti-histamines and you wont feel the bites.

    that’s what i do, it takes some will power to overcome the sheer annoyance when they swarm though. in that picture above we had just packed our yellow tent away and i am not exaggerating when i say the inside of it was completely black with midges trapped in condensation. i’d gone out for a natural break in the night and they bit everything exposed

    everything 8O
