Alliterations galore in final phase in TN polls
Chennai: It was alliterations galore in the final phase of electioneering for the Lok Sabha Polls in Tamil Nadu with Chief Minister Jayalalithaa leading the bandwagon.
Taking potshots at BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and detailing how her state fared better in social parameters than Gujarat at an election rally here on April 21, a day before close of campaigning, the AIADMK supremo asked the raucous crowd "tell me who is the best administrator? Gujarat Modiya or Tamil Nadu`s intha ladiyaa (Gujarat`s Modi or the lady from Tamil Nadu)."
Not to be outdone, DMK patriarch M Karunanidhi`s son M K Stalin shot back:"It is neither Modi nor the lady, but my daddy (who brought development to Tamil Nadu),he said at an election rally at Pudukottai yesterday, drawing loud cheers from the party cadre.
Stalin also did a bit of mimicry, making the sound of a helicopter to drive home the message of Jayalalithaa using a chopper for campaigning and her `Seiveergala, seiveergala?` (will you do, will you do it) appeal to voters.
"Neenga senjingala, senjingala? (Have you done it?), he asked to roars of approval from the crowd, attacking Jayalalithaa that she has failed to fullfill her party`s poll promises like solving power shortage even three years after assuming office.
Elsewhere, BJP senior leader Venkaiah Naidu joined the issue, saying "lady Jayalalithaa is better suited to administer Tamil Nadu that?s why people have voted her to power. Narendra Modi is suited to administer the country."
Enlivening proceedings for the BJP cadre, Modi, on his whirlwind campaign, while attacking the Congress on corruption, took a jibe at Finance Minister P Chidambaram, without taking his name, addressing him as "recounting minister", alluding to the manner in which the latter won in the Sivaganga seat in the previous polls by a thin margin.
Not taking it lying down, Chidambaram retorted calling him a "compulsive liar" and an "encounter Chief Minister".
Wearing dark shades at dusk, actor-turned-politician and founder of the DMDK, ally of BJP-led NDA, also had the crowd in splits, quizzing them on who should be PM, the party symbol and MP?s name to enable Modi to become prime minister and help them go to Modi with all 40 seats.

My husband and I sat and watched the Fairport@Forty DVD and it brought back many memories of happy summer weekends at Cropredy. We have been going for years and probably have been to about 26 festivals now, infact we have lost count! Everyone great despite some bad rain some years,like last year, but equally suunny also. We both went to the very first one back in 1976,at Prescot Manor in Cropredy and still have the tee shirt to prove it (but it does not fit me now!!) I met and chatted to Swarb and he autographed my album, 'A Bonny Bunch of Roses' on vinyl. It was a lovely evening and I remembered the orchard trees in the garden. In your dvd Simon said the audience were very well behaved. Thank goodness for that! We just love the atmosphere at your family orientated festival and this DVD is a must for all Fairport fans.

The Fairport @ Forty DVD certainly brought back many happy memories of last year, but I was disappointed that it didn't finish with Meet on the Ledge - in fact, Meet on the Ledge isn't on at all! For me, the regular build-up to that splendid finale is one of the major highlights of the festival. Great to see 'Lego Matty' in all his/her glory!

Name: Kirstie
Eh up everyone....Thank you Robin and Phil for your lovely comments (I don't know about uploading images though, sorry). I just wanted to say a big thank you to Gareth for another fantastic opportunity to photograph Cropredy for the 4th year running, it is a gem of a job and I lurrrvvve it. The atmosphere this year was magnificent; it seemed to bounce in the clouds, so much so that it is hard to remember that it did rain at all!!! Have to say I was overwhelmed by the constant stream of visual delight (the screen was fantastic - very skillful camera work) quite often I don't hear the music (even standing next to the speakers!) until I lower my camera and on two occasions I forgot myself - the Levellers were delicious to watch and how that raw energy flooded the audience. Chris and Kelly While were so lovely and I definitely went away for a time there. Who knows where......!!!!! So many significant moments, so many lovely people - Thank you Fairport for your gorgeous friendly faces and cheers to all back stage, what a joy it is to be part of such a beautiful hard working team. Till we meet again. Kirstie x

Initial Cropredy Report!
2008-08-14 10:36:08
The fields are clear and the mud is drying as Gareth Williams reflects on this year's festival.
"Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who braved the weather to make Cropredy 2008 the most enjoyable festival for me since I took over the helm from Chris Pegg in 2004.
Yes, it rained on Saturday; yes it was muddy; but the spirit and atmosphere created this year by you, the audience, was extraordinary. This 'vibe' is not something which anyone can purchase or plan for - it is created somewhere out there in the fields by you, the Cropredy crowd. More...
We all owe Marty and his team from MJ Events our thanks for the great job they did in reducing theft on the campsites this year. Did I say reduce? Festival Control reported there were NO overnight thefts whatsoever. Our thanks, too, go to our friends from Thames Valley Police. Considering there were so many people in the fields, this is a great achievement so all credit to MJ Events and TVP.
I have yet to be debriefed by TVP and there is bound to have been a little petty crime. When nearly 20,000 people are having a great time some disorderly conduct is almost inevitable. For example, there were reported disturbances from drunken youths on Campsite 2 which Marty and his team identified. We plan more response teams next year to combat such behaviour. As always, we will do everything we can to ensure that everyone enjoys a pleasant and safe time at Cropredy.
Last year, some of you may remember we had traffic management problems on the Thursday. We learnt from that experience - every year is a learning curve, of course - so Thames Valley Police had a unit on site to deal with traffic issues. Our thanks go to Jim and Steve for their expertise in clearing the main roads so quickly and efficiently.
Last year we sold all the tickets a week before the event. This year, we advised everyone to buy early. In the event, ticket sales were very strong but there were still some tickets available on the gates by Saturday. Not a great many, mind you - the message for 2009 remains clear: buy early! We're confident that had the weather not been against us we'd have sold the lot.
Ah, the weather! It rained heavily on the Tuesday while we are seting up and that reduced the site to a quagmire. Luckily, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday were quite reasonable and you all got on site fairly dry (my one annual wish!).
The heavy rain which arrived on Saturday meant our site crews worked flat out to maintain walkways and keep the site safe for you. Simon Hambridge and his boys laid 800 tons of hardcore on pathways and gateways and Simon's team were also on hand on Sunday to tow those of you out who got stuck.
As soon as you'd left, Jayne Matthews and her team of litter-pickers set about their gruelling task. The fields are now free from litter and recyclables have been separated. I am hoping the recycling campaign was a success and I'll let you have the figures when I get them. We shall improve it for next year in any way we can.
The mud obviously spilt out on to the lanes as everyone left and but 'Pete the Sweep' and his road sweeper did a fantastic job in keeping the village roads clean.
As soon as the dust has settled, I shall be making a start on Cropredy 2009. Please keep your comments coming in because we DO listen. We want you to come back so if it ain't right, we'll fix it.
Remember to note these dates in your diaries. Thursday 13, Friday 14 and Saturday 15 August 2009.
Finally, my biggest thanks go to you, the Cropredy crowd. You turned what could have been a miserable wet weekend into one of the happiest and most joyous I have ever seen!
I shall post a full report once I have had a full de-brief with the various responsible authorities.

A big thank you to everyone from a first time visitor. Loved the music, the set-up and the friendliness (a special thank you to the bar staff). Its evident that a whole load of people have put a whole load of hard work into organising thngs so well. And please, please invite 3 Daft Monkeys back next year. Only thing that spoiled the experience a bit was the amount of litter in the main field and the village, it seemed like people knew that it would be cleared up for them. That aside, it was a fantastic experience, and im already looking forward to next year.
Name: Diane
I thought the chairs at the back worked very well as some of us want to just stroll down without half their possessions with them and be able to sit on the grass or rug and have a clear view of the stage and not someones chair. SO thank you and well done to the security guys who inforced this politely to the ones who decided to ignore the rule. We'd sit and chill with our picnic during the afternoon then return in the evening to stand and enjoy the music. We had a fab weekend and will be back next year. Would appreciate the loos on field 4 being replenished overnight as they were pretty disgusting by Sunday morning but that's my only grumble as everything else was great. Even the mud/rain didn't ruin our enjoyment.
Name: Keith Loven
Just a quick belated thanks also for the video screen - it really does enhance the enjoymentof a wonderful event.
Name: Ian Jackson
Again, Can I add to the comments of an excellent festival despite the heaven's best efforts. One suggestion- The toilets in the Arena are some of the best kept at any festival I have been to. In the camping fields, you use (I assume) more expensive recycling flushers. These go wrong often and by the end of the weekend, the smell can take your breath away. Would you not get more toilets for your pound and make it easier to service, by replacing these with the thunderboxes? Looking forward to next year
Name: Matty (no not groves) Allen
it was reLLY COOL but matty and meet on the ledge were separate plz reply as i was a bit struck as they were separated :(
Name: Peter Farrell
Great idea to keep the chairs away from the front - those who travel light don't want to spend 3 days looking at the back of a chair! Stackridge were fantastic - next year Show of Hands and Oysterband would probably go down better than Midge Ure and Supergrass! Great organisation and attitude from everyone in the rain, and I really enjoyed the Fairport set - 'John the Gun' was fantastic, maybe a few more jigs and reels and a little less MOR stuff. See you all next year.
Name: GeordiePete
I think that Cropredy 09 should be more of a Fairport family relevance to the artist that will perform. For example Procol Harum could headline thursday night with Matt Pegg on bass, Richard Thompson son Teddy could headline friday. Gerrys partner Jaquie McShee could bring any version of Pentangle, Chris Leslies' daughter Imogen band could appear as well. Not forgetting Henry Nicol back to perform. Ric Sanders need not feel left out, he could adopt Van Der Graaf Generator for the weekend!
Name: Paul Collier
The thing that ruined it this year for me was the unwanted presence of the 'Crowd Police'. In the previous 29 years I have attended, there has never been any problem with the behaviour of the crowd, so why start introducing new rules. As the age of the crowd is increasing, more of them like to now sit on chairs with a group of their friends, so why did you introduce a rule that there should be no chairs in front of a certain point. This caused an unsightly rush when the gates were opened for people to gain anything like a decent position on the field. I saw several people told in a very unfriendly manner to move when they tried to site chairs in front of this line. This ruined the whole atmosphere of the festival for me and I will have to think seriously about whether I come next year.
Name: Tony & Nigel
As this was my 1st cropredy i was amazed how friendly people were and how well organised it was both in and around the site. The only small criticism there was is the fact that when dave edmunds & joe brown were on the sound system left a lot to be desired. Apart from that a great weekend was enjoyed and we'll definately be back next year. Roll on '09!! Tony & Gil
Name: Tiny
Have been to Cropredy twice and thought this year not a may toilets as you go into the field as the year before last - as far as I can remember there were separate mens and womens - am I wrong in thinking that? Loos didn't seem to be kept as well as the year before last - I was so impressed then as I actually saw people go around checking them but didn't see any of that at all this year. Big screen a good idea but you need a big screen on either side of the stage also as for those people sitting to the side of the stage near the bar area could not see screen. Also I'd rather see the band playing on the stage on the screen rather than photo still shots of a window, field etc (??!) - what is that all about? Levellers, Joe Brown & Dave Edmunds, Midge Ure, Legend - brilliant! Agree about the Saw Doctors for next year.
Name: Oz
While we're on the 'surprised no-one's mentioned them' tack - really enjoyed Siobhan Miller & Jeana Leslie. It's always great to see some of the best newcomers.
Name: Badger
Haven`t been to Fairport for years but the line up of Supergrass and The Levellers were too much of a temptation. Both blew my mind and they made Fairport look very dull for a Saturday night finish. Look forward to an exciting line up for 2009.
Name: Andy Ralphs
4 of us with 78 Cropredys between us thought Friday was brilliant all day stayed out of the rain on Saturday and saved ourselves for FC, the highlight of the weekend after Friday was getting in the bath Sunday the weather has been worse at sometimes over the last 25 years and we have stuck at it FC at their best play kick ass Folk Rock the set this year was too dreary and downbeat and we left before the end. The new screen is great but somebody actually asked us to sit down during the Levellers and we were about 80 yards back. In conclusion Camper Vans are for camping in not singing about.
Name: Roger Grant
We have been coming to Cropredy since 1990 and this year's festival was one of the best musically. Shame about the weather on the Saturday which persuaded us that after seven hours of heavy rain and high winds we would abandon the field at 7pm therefore missing Midge Ure and more importantly Fairport (the first time in 18 years we have done that!!) Our two comments are that you could do with a wider variety of stalls as some of the more interesting ones arent there any more and secondly we were disappointed at the attitude of some so called Fairporters who objected to us having a flag! This has never happened before and may be because the programme specifically mentioned them. We werent inconsiderate but felt the need to move much further back on the other two nights where our vision was obscured by flags and shelters but we have always accepted that as part of the festival.
Name: Derek
Great weekend despite the rain. Thanks a lot. Stand out acts, Levellers (of course) Legend, Muffinmen, Whapweasel, Stackridge and Family Mahone. Possibilities for next year Saw Doctors & bring back Seth Lakeman One small comment, on campsite 7 there was no issue with rubbish bags as in previous years, and no instructions as to what to do. If its linked to recycling then can sort own of given bags and instructions
Name: Moz
As everyone else is making suggestions for next years Cropredy lineup I thought I`d pitch in with "Dragonsfly", who I saw at Brampton earlier this year and are well worth a look see.
Name: Jimbo
Possibly the sole dissenting voice here, but I've never been that keen on Robert Plant or Led Zeppelin at all - always struck me as a bit pretentious, but obviously many people were thrilled to have him there this year, so no harm done.. I actually saw The Levellers on the Saturday in St Helens, when the weather was so awful we had to leave after about half an hour - although if I'd been at Cropredy I believe I would have stuck it out for Fairport ! Anyway.. next year - The Proclaimers ? (Saw them at the Mathew Street Festival in Liverpool two years ago, and every song had something different about it - pedal steel, accordion, low whistle, mandolin - and confident enough not to have to save 5000 Miles or Letter From America for an encore). Michael Chapman ? (solo, preferably - one hell of a guitar player). Imagined Village ? (If they are still together by then). Show of Hands (great last year, even though I idiotically missed all but the last 15-20 minutes of their set). Whatever - whoever is on, there will no doubt be grumbles as there have been this year over Supergrass. Personally I am no fan of Jools Holland, but it certainly didn't spoil 2007 for me. I rather think the event itself - and the Saturday headliners ! - are the main thing.
Name: Heather Powell-Brown
Reading all the comments I would like to add I loved Legend - really brightened up a wet Saturday, could almost imagine you're in Jamaica. Enjoyed The Levellers, not havinfg heard their stuff before and next year - Ashley MacIsaac? Amazing Canadian fiddle player.
Name: Kevin Wood
Hi Gareth - the two stalls I particularly noticed playing loud music were the coffee/food stall at the top of the field immediately as you came into the arena, and a clothes stall very close to it that had a lot of dub/reggae playing very loud. Don't think I particularly noticed it from anywhere else. But this was only a minor gripe - thanks for all the hard work that went into organising a brilliant weekend.

Dear Gareth, Please can we have a chat about a way of making access to the stage and bottom field toilets easier please? In light of all the improvemnts this year a few of us talked on the field about making it even better. Cheers Rich 0191 2704136

Mmmm..Supergrass. Guess most of their fans are aroung thirty or so years old now....dangerously close to twenty-five which apparently should be the cut-off age for Cropredy attendees according to one contributor. Good job some people didn't think the same way when a teenage Richard Thompson wrote some of his most enduring and wonderful work. Supergrass were great...OK, you didn't like them....I didn't really understand them but so what? They were a good representation of their kind, and one thing is for sure, Cropredy always presents 'the best of it's kind' whatever their genre. Please don't make the assumption that Cropredy is the preserve of traditionalists and 'finger in your ear' folkies...it is not, it is an eclectic and catholic mix of the finest music created and inspired by some of the most wonderful musicians of our (somewhat broad) generation. If we are going to have a go at Supergrass and Midge Ure, why not include that long haired hippy who used to sing for some heavy blues rock band that had probably the worst reputation since Keith Moon....oh yes, sorry, the rather wonderful and somewhat legendary Robert Plant. Come on guys, lighten up. It was, has been and I'm sure, always will be the festival that defines a generation in this country. Let's just be grateful that we've still got it and be endebted to Gareth and the like, who make it possible. Thanks guys for all the hard work! See you next year.
Name: Peter Aggleton
OK, this is my last attempt to get past the anti-spam code, is this really necessary, or at least please make it easier (or make it the first thing you do so that you don't waste ages typing and then lose it all!). Anyway, just wanted to echo that really enjoyed Cropredy this year again, despite the weather on Saturday. Thought the cross-walk was a great idea, as well as solving any potential arguments about putting up day-tents. The big screen was also a great addition, both so that you could see what was happening from a long way back, and for the videos. Usual eclectic mix, so never going to like everything. Loved the Sandy Denny tribute, 3 Daft monkeys (always fin someone new with great energy), thought The Gathering were one of the stand-outs (surprised no-one else has mentioned them).. Not so keen on Supergrass or the Muffinmen (not my tasre), but thought Legend were great. Anyway, see you next year. P.S. Are you doing a Cropredy calendar this year, ours from last year is about to run out, didn't see one on the stands, and can't see one in your merchandise list? P.P.S. How about Slaid Cleeves, have seen him at Cambridge and down in Cornwall supporting Show of Hands, would be a great addition
Name: Oz
I've already rambled about my experience of the festival, but couldn't resist chipping in on the 'what about for next year' comments. I guess both of them re-formed too late for this year, but what about asking Danny to drag along the rest of Pentangle next year. And SURELY Whippersnapper should be there - I saw them at Beverley Folk Festival & they were on top form. With the quality acts amongst 'friends & family' (I'll just mention Steve Ashley again), who needs Supergrass?
Name: Steve
Our first Cropredy - certainly won't be our last. We were overwhelmed by the size of the area the festival covered! Took a bit of working out how to get around for newbies - all part of the fun! Great organisation & good to see the villagers getting involved & desevedly making a few bob. Special thanks to the people by the barn doing breakfast sandwiches. A very friendly festival. Beautifully taken tributes to Sandy Denny, the Fairport set in general, the jaw dropping wonder of Stackridge & Joe Brown will be abiding musical memories. Richard Digance did a great job cheering the soaked masses. Will be back next year in greater number. Thanks, we loved it.
Name: ellen
Thoroughly enjoyed our weekend: last attended in 2000. Stackridge were super; Julie Fowlies also. Robert Plant? well I cried then! Saw him and Alison Krauss in London and his being here was just another highlight to my year. Avoided Thursday as couldn't understand what Supergrass were doing at a 'folk festival' - don't like them anyway so no real loss! Was disappointed with Levellers but I think maybe beacuse we were jostled so much by the teenage fraternity! Very annoying: personally I would ban all under 25's from such events! We loved everything else: Richard Digance, we loved you too! Thanks for great event!
Name: Ollie
I remember the real coffee shop at the top of the field, near the main entrance, we playing music quite loud that wasn't 'mood' music.
Name: Gareth Williams
Hi Kevin. It clearly states in the Traders Rules and Conditions that they must not play music and that the only music permitted is from the main PA. I know some do have a little 'mood' music but when it spills out from their pitch because it is too loud, then it has to stop. If you could remember which of the stalls was playing loud music and let me know it would help me greatly in stamping this behaviour out. Many thanks. Gareth
Name: Kevin Wood
Great time - last year was our first Cropredy since 1979 (marriage, mortgage and kids got in the way in the meantime). Loved last year, loved this year despite the rain. We love the atmosphere, and the way you can set up your chairs, watch a few acts, wander off and come back and find everything still in its place. Everyone is so friendly. Saturday was great despite the rain and I think I enjoyed virually every act, even those I wasn't aware of beforehand. I also had one very minor gripe - when there is an act playing on stage it seems very discourteous (is that spelt correctly?) that several of the stalls had their own music playing, in the case of a couple of them so loudly that if you were near the stall it drowned out the stage. Looking forard to next year.
Name: Pete Clinick
This year we found that when parking up the marshals directed us to park in such a way as to make it very difficult if you had a large tent,I could not understand why they parked two rows of cars between which we had to somehow fit in all the tents,now if there had been a fire in a tent getting at it would've been difficult.The next row was just one row of cars with tents behind,then an access road,then the next row of cars,so access to either a car or a tent in the case of fire was very easy.Anyway this didn't spoil our time at Cropredy as we always find our fellow F.C.,fans are a great bunch who help without being asked true 60s spirit that fuels us through the year to the next C.F.C.,More power to you all. Love and gratitude Pete&Sue X X X

Hi Neil. I'm sorry you could't get a spot on the disabled campsite when you arrived. It seems that the traders and cavanners took the pitches when Field 6 was unsupervised (or incorrectly supervised) and by the time I was alerte,d the traders were busy behind their stalls and the caravanners were in the concert arena and, probably too drunk to move their caravans! Disabled campers should have acces to the disabled campsite no matter which night they arrive to camp. Next year I shall set out an area in Field 6 which will be clearly designated as a disabled campsite from the off and woe betide anyone else who strays in there. Special thanks once again to Ann Voce and the team at Fairmobility for another fantastic job with the scooters. Who on earth let Simion Nicol have one though?
Name: Neil Beards
Hi Gareth.Thank you all so much for another ace festival.For future years would you please consider selling disabled camping tickets in advance so that space can be saved for late arrivers? We could only attend on the Saturday this year by which time all new campers were being directed to Field 7-with its attendant long walk to the arena! Nicky and I would happily pay for a full weekend camping ticket in advance to be able to camp a little closer to the action than is usually possible if one arrives on Friday or Saturday as we usually do.Thanks a lot, Neil.

Hello all: Congratulations and thanks to all of the festival team for putting together such a great event. This was my 6th Cropredy festival and 9th trip to England. Even my guilt about contributing to global warming (and the lousy exchange rate) won't keep me away-- opportunities to hear the music I most love are few and far between in the U.S, so it's across the ocean I must go. (have to buy some "carbon offsets.") Festival highlights (musical division): Fairport's set (liked hearing the TIPPLER'S TALES/BONNY BUNCH OF ROSES era stuff)-- and guest vocalists Julie Fowlis and Kelli While were fantastic;also enjoyed sets from Whapweasel, LEGEND, LARK RISE BAND, John Tams & Barry Coope, STACKRIDGE, 3 Daft Monkeys, and Siobhan Miller & Jeanna Leslie. Highlights (food): the kabob stand about half up from the stage, the organic roast beef stand, and the crepe stand. There definitely is a "Cropredy festival" spirit-- I noticed the Fairport themselves speaking with audience members like they were all old friends. I now know that I have to be prepared for almost any kind of weather-- I was prepared for wet, but not for cold!! (summer in the Washington, D.C. area varies generally between hot and less hot and can be very humid). After the festival I went down to London and the night before I left I saw SPAMALOT at the PALACE THEATER!! FAB!! The run ends on January 9, so get your tickets now! See you all next year!! Peace-- Ken Roseman.

A huge thanks to everyone involved for a wonderful weekend, the incredible �A� team of organisers made everything run like clockwork, and made the whole weekend a huge, rip-roaring success, despite the really difficult conditions, (dare I mention the weather?) But hey, we�re British, we�re used to a drop of rain� I was quite moved as I looked around the field on Saturday, at people�s determination to overcome the weather a have a great time, and their ingenuity in finding ways to keep warm and dry. It was nice to see that the artists were really appreciative of people�s support also I thought. The fantastic bar staff deserve a mention too, their hard work and good humour was amazing. Our second Cropredy festival, and a firm date in our calendar now. The unique atmosphere, friendly people, and stunning top class music make it very special. My partner and me danced our legs off, cheered until we were hoarse, we enjoyed every bit of it, and went to bed cream crackered every night! Thanks especially to Fairport for inviting such a wonderful line-up, what a bash!! Let�s do it all again next year people�See you then. Lots of love, Gill

Quick word about the toilets. Plentiful amount but all the individual cabins we visited in the main arena field on Saturday seemed to have run out of water for hand washing.

Loved the big screen, loved the marked walkways and chair lines etc. Made getting about FAR easier. Hated the rain but still had a good time. Tent just about dried out. LOL.

A few random things ... on the Friday night there was no queue to get out of the car park, unlike previous years. I don't know what was different (more people camping?) but I hope it stays like that (I expect to be back next year!). I hope the mid-field gangway and the boundaries for chairs and tents stay, last year the chairs were encroaching on the gangways at the sides and well into the standing area at the front. (Of course I speak as someone who doesn't use a chair ...) I think you coped pretty well with the rain - the Fairford air tattoo was cancelled this year due to rain, and that's a much bigger event. I hope someone reads the comments attached to the "Cropredy Site Latest!!" item as a lot of people have given feedback there. And one final thing, the anti-spam code for comments here is a bit much, these things are getting to the point that humans can't read them either ...

hello this is the first time i have made contact but iknow it wont be the last. we came for the first time last year after many times of trying but failing due to work comitments, and had a really great time, the weather was good got sun burn on the saturday, all the bands were great, and came back this year, and you know despite everything the weather could throw at us , including our tent being beaten into submision on saturday and having to miss midge ure trying to save the situation i think i may have had an even better time this year, i thought the atmosphere was fantastic, roll on next year, cheers brian and judy matthew and Bethany minshall
Name: Jimbo
As one of the unlucky ones who couldn't be there this year (wife been ill but I won't bore you with the details), glad to hear that the weather didn't ruin it for you all. I'm sure you will be doing it anyway, but I always look forward to seeing a set list for Fairport on the Saturday with notes on who played what - obviously Robert Plant has been well mentioned, but I'd be keen to hear which singers took on Sandy's songs, and with ex-Fairports turned up. And - as almost everyone is saying - already looking forward to 2009 !

Hi Guys - absolutely wonderful Cropredy, despite the weather. It was brilliant to be able to get to the camping fields this year without any significant hold up, especially after last year. Unfortunately, getting out on Sunday was another story, but I think that was really due to the mud taking out one of the exit roads. Suggestions for next year (if this is the right place) - Australian Pink Floyd (I think I saw more Pink Floyd tee shirts around the site than any other bar Cropredy ones, so they will be very popular and they are in the UK during the summer) and Secret Garden (a super Norwegian/Irish duo who would be ideal to chillout to on a hot afternoon). Thanks again for all the hard work to everyone involved.
Name: Graham Bailey
In spite of the weather it was a brilliant weekend, and I think your staff did very well from security right through to the hardcore crews. The big screen was a great success, and the camera operators were very impressive, with not only good coverage of the musicians, but some wonderful shots of the Cropredy crowd. Cannot really think of any negatives, but agree with the idea of some loos closer to the bar for us older gents, I'm sure Peggy would agree.
Name: Phil Drackley
Excellent weekend as usual. Weather - what about it? Never been rained on before? Good idea to have a break in the crowd halfway up the field - made getting food to the family much quicker. As usual, though, getting out of the centre of the audience to the edge was a bit awkward, but people will always want to have their groups in the middle of walkways, won't they? Wonderful video screen - meant I could actually see the bands performing, instead of small blobs in the distance. I don't think there could be a shortage of material for a DVD this year? (Loved Matty Groves in Spud-o-Vision! ) We appreciated the 4x4 helping tow vehicles out of the mud on Sunday. This weekend proves the camper was not built for off-road activities! The driver did not ask for payment, but is there a local charity we could send a token of our thanks to?

it was my best cropredy ever desite the weather cant wait for next year how about the park bench social club and emily smith two very fine acts
Name: Ange x
Had a fabulous time as always despite the rain. The dancing on Saturday simply meant I was up to my thighs in mud splatters, but hey, it's all washed out now :-) Cropredy for me is just three days and nights of sheer bliss, so keep up the good work. Only one slight criticism was the Maginot line for the chairs. It never seems to have been a problem in all the years I've been before and it left quite a few people mildly disgruntled. The only time I could see it causing problems would be the Saturday night, but most people have folded up their chairs by then in anticipation of Fairport. I myself prefer the ground anyway...less far to fall ;-) Roll on Cropredy 2009! Ange x

Julie Fowlis was outstanding in her tribute to the much-missed Sandy Denny and the performances on the Saturday night were truly fitting. Another wonderful weekend with some old friends and new. Lovely to see John Tams and Barry Coope, the Levellers and Supergrass just rocked - in fact it was all brilliant. I would also like to praise the ground crews who made sure wse wern't up to our knees in mud. The extra toilets at the bottom of the field were much appreciated - well I am getting on........... Looking forward to next year. Is there any chance of seeing Dan Arborise please?
Name: Emily
Can I just say how utterly amazed we were by the brilliant handling of the weather situation. Without the hard work of so many great people we would have ended up with totally unmanageable paths, roads and fields, but as it was we could get around fairly easily. We really were bowled over by it. Also, thank you so much for the superb traffic-handling on Thursday. We didn't have to queue AT ALL. Last year we were stuck for two hours, arriving at about the same time. We thought we must have come on the wrong day this year as it was so easy to get to the campsite. The only negative thing I would say is that, being very near the trainline half way down field 7b, we were not really an acceptable distance from the toilets, especially in these conditions. I understand the reasons for this but it did mar the camping experience somewhat (especially at 4am in the rain). I wonder if a few cubicles could be put towards the train line area next year? But that's a tiny gripe... I was hugely impressed with how well everything was handled and will be booking my '09 tickets as soon as they're on sale! Thanks again Emily
Name: Gareth Williams
Hi Peter. Many thanks for the comments. There are plenty of toilets just down from the bar in field 6. We started that last year to 'relieve' the bar.
Name: Peter Clarke
Well, I think we should be thanking you, not you thanking us. It was by far the best organised festival I�ve ever been to despite the weather (I reckon if there is a God, he must be a Steeleye fan � or as the weather was so appalling, an Oyesterband fan) � in fact it was how the whole festival machinery dealt with the weather which was the most impressive aspect. I only have two teeny gripes and one of those has a positive side � thanks for providing free showers which were hot throughout BUT is there any way we could have a few more. I was on 2b and we had to queue for an hour or more each morning in the cold, rain and wind, exacerbated by them being at the highest most exposed point of the field. Since starting this email, I�ve had to deal with a problem at work and now can�t remember what the other gripe was so it can�t have been that important � probably asking if we could have an ale supply down in the mosh pit. But once again congratulations and thanks for a great triumph over the odds Cheers Peter PS � just recalled what the other was � for those of us with Pegg-like bladders, is there any chance of moving some of the loos at the top of the field to the area behind the bar?

Kevin Smith was out and about with his camera over the Cropredy weekend.
As well as the usual snaps of the bands, Kevin took some fabulous shots of the artists in the crowd (especially around the bar....). Actually, with a bar as good as our's it is impossible to keep them away! Take a look in the gallery here.

Thanks Kirsty. Glad you liked the pics. I am afraid that is a very Kirsty pic - and you look fine - busy and trying to be in two places at once as ever. There is no point in me trying to simply do the same pics as everyone else - you have the stage to record and some from the pit. I try and cover the pit with a different lens for different effects and cover the other aspects of the festival. You almost need three people to cover the event and get a good variety. I just shoot from the heart of what makes Cropredy the wonderful event it is. If I manage to capture the atmosphere and the friendship there as it appears to me and it is appreciated by others I have done my job for me and for all those who make it such a special event. I hope they put a few of the band shots up as the two headed Peggy shot makes me chuckle. In general I was pleased with what I got, but trying to video asw well also made it a little tricky for time. Take care and hopefully see you next year. TTFN Kevin

We did not really shop that much at IGA Deli when in Whistler. All we needed to buy was Milk, Eggs,Water & Ice
We had a flatbread sandwich from the del she offered to toast it and cut in 1/4s so we could eat on the go! Great idea.
We like this grocery store. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Food is a bit pricey in places, The meat department and deli is very good. The staff there are very helpful and have good suggestions.
It was strange to see a supermarket called IGA here as this is a major supermarket chain in Australia. This store has a great range of food, both fresh and packaged, at very reasonable prices. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The store is located at one end of Whistler Village so for some places it is a bit...
This IGA is within walking distance of the center of Whistler. They have a superb deli, area to buy prepared foods, souvenirs, fresh fish/meats/veggies/fruits and all of the other needed items. I so enjoyed the variety on the shelves. Jams from BC, France and the USA. Great place to buy a lunch to go, dinner to serve to your family...
We often stop in to pick-up the ingredients we need to make breakfast, sandwiches, snacks when we are in Whistler. They have a nice selection of cheeses, meats and desserts. The staff are always kind and helpful and we often leave with more items than we came for.
We shopped here for our groceries while in Whistler in winter. Parking was easy and they had everything we needed for the week.
You'll find everything you need here. It really was impressive... Bakery, deli, cheeses, health and hygiene ... Everything.
This IGA is set up to cater to the needs of visitors who are on the go. There is a nice selection of hot food: a lot of soups, chili, cooked chicken, salads, etc with different sized containers beside them so you can serve yourself based on your needs. Items in the store are a bit on the expensive side,...
Convenient across street from townhouse with good selection and deli. Butcher cut steaks to order. We will visit again.

Homeless man held in assault on Perry Township woman
A 29-year-old homeless man is accused of assaulting a woman at her home after dropping off medicine for a child.

There's some sort of metaphor in this, Tetris set in so huge a playing field that it becomes pointless to play. (Via Kottke.) Formal limitations are generative; unbounded free play, not so much.
This game, for instance, (via Joshuah Bearman) is strangely compelling. It consists entirely of trying to guess geometric centers and align parallel lines. It's like a training program for membership in some elite band of speculative surveyors. It has built my confidence in hanging pictures correctly, so that they are not crooked. I think eventually I'll be able to throw away my level altogether.

UK: George at Asda in RFID deployment

UK retailer Asda has invested in an RFID software solution to improve inventory visibility at store level for its George apparel merchandise.
The TrueVue Inventory Visibility application from Tyco Retail Solutions will enable Asda to enhance its inventory accuracy and stock availability.
"Our customers trust us to be 'always available' and expect their size option to be in store or online when they want it," said David Mills, head of strategic availability of projects at Asda. "With Tyco's RFID-based application, we hope to enhance our inventory accuracy and stock availability in-store."

The Top Five Superheroes In The New DC Comics' Occupy Movement Comic Book
Have you heard? There's an Occupy comic book coming.
If you thought the Occupy movement was a laughing matter … well, you may be onto something. DC Comics – a company whose name is a reminder that its earliest product was meant to bring a smile to its customers' lips – announced on Friday that it will be releasing two new series. Both focus on the plight of the 99 percent.
Wired reports that the two titles in the Occupy series, which will debut in May, feature super heroes. "The Green Team" carries the motto "Money can buy them happiness – and they want to share it with you." The motto of "The Movement," meanwhile, is "They were the super-powered disenfranchised – now they're the voice of the people."
The super-powered disenfranchised? Wow, that sounds fun! Just imagine the heroes that DC can come up with!
Pigpen: After 25 years without a bath, he can incapacitate his enemies just by lifting one of his arms.
The Mooch: After spending an entire lifetime living off of other people, he's developed superhuman mooching powers. No bank can resist him when he asks for money, policemen who try to apprehend him let him "borrow" their guns, and he's unjailable because no prison guard can avoid giving him his keys.
FemiNazi: Her ceaselessly moaning about the patriarchy and how worthless the male gender causes every male in the room to flee her presence.
Black Bloc: After spending decades playing military-themed video games, Black Bloc has become a warrior against oppression — if by oppression, you mean Starbucks windows, graffiti-free walls, and policemen with their backs turned.
Trust Fund Kid: The leader of the Occupy team has no super powers, but he does have his rich father's charge card and a knack for quoting Michael Moore.

French National Assembly approves recognising foreign civil partnerships
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Tres bien.
Nice to see the Greens once again proving they are the most progressive force in European politics.
The actual change is this:
* Après l'article 515-7 du code civil, il est inséré un article 515-7-1 ainsi rédigé:
« Art. 515-7-1. – Les conditions de formation et les effets d'un partenariat enregistré ainsi que les causes et les effets de sa dissolution sont soumis aux dispositions matérielles de l'État de l'autorité qui a procédé à son enregistrement. »
Which from my understanding is that British CPs will be recognised as CPS ,Danish civil unions as civil unions ie they don't necessarily become PACS, they become PACS plus the extra benefits of a CP etc providing it isn't against French law.
Sarkozy isn't going to object, would be absurd!
well i am french living in the uk – it is about time !!!
My reading of the change is that it would also cover all civil partnerships from all over the world and also all types of civil partnership ie same sex and different sex. Unlike the U.K, France , Holland, New Zealand and probably other countries allow different sex partners to also do a civil partnership – it seems a pretty neat way of covering all forms of civil unions – when will the U.K recognise different sex French PACS couples????
I just had confirmed by the Assemblée Nationale's press office that this amendment will become effective as soon as published in the Journal Officiel (daily official journal of all legislation), so no application decree will be needed, hurrah!
The problem with this is, PACs do not cover most of the civil partnership benefits so that needs to be addressed. What is the point in having all the rights of civil partnerships in the UK while France and others who have similar unions offer less rights? For example, British gay couples can adopt children in the UK, in France, they can't. This only proves that marriage is the only vehicle for conferring full equality in any country offering it to gay couples.
Robert – France recognise foreign gay marriages but even so they can't adopt in France ( at the moment ……) – we can adopt in the U.K and it's not called a marriage.It would be great to have a marriage but let's not scare them off ….. . Most cons/right wing goverments (at the moment) won't have anything to do with gay marriages but are quite willing to accept civil unions …. let have the rights first perhpas and then fight for the word (if it comes at the same time, great)…
Given that France's immediate neighbours, Belgium and Spain, have equal marriage, as well as Canada, with which France has very strong links. And there being much sharing of lives and culture amongst them. Instead of this discriminatory, second-class range of other arrangements, recognising same-sex marriages as marriages is overdue.

2 men, 24 cars
Relevant offers
Relax at the beach but stay alert and secure your car, police say.
"And that goes for cars parked at home too," Rodney relieving response manager Senior Sergeant Andy King says.
A wave of Red Beach car break-ins highlights the casual attitude people take to locking up. Two men got into 24 cars in one night.
"One major concern to us was how many of the cars were unlocked sitting in driveways and on roadsides," Mr King says.
Police caught the men hiding in bushes after being disturbed.
They say people should not keep valuables in cars.
"Especially in summer, people keep their cars unlocked, windows down and valuables in view.
"This has to change, it draws attention to thieves," Mr King says.
"Cars must be locked whenever you go shopping, to the beach and also when the car is parked overnight in your driveway."
People tend to be more relaxed and quite often leave valuables in sight during warmer months.
"This provides temptation to all sorts of people, both opportunists who just happen to be walking by at the time, or organised crime.
"At times people specifically come into an area to break into as many cars as they can, a large number in a short time," Mr King says.
"Whenever there is an increase in population there is more crime."
More isolated spots are usually targeted.
"Offenders know people parking their cars at the beach will be gone for a number of hours, so they have time to break in.
"Places include Omaha, Leigh, Muriwai Beach and Mahurangi reserves.
"We recommend not leaving anything valuable in the car at all. If you do, at least make sure it is out of sight," Mr King says.
People should call 111 if they see suspicious behaviour around cars.
"We will respond. We have extra patrols ready, especially over Christmas and New Year, to target this sort of crime," Mr King says.
"When we know there is an issue
or a targeted area we will send staff there.
"Phone us even if nothing was taken. Just a call to the local station, so police can record problem areas, is a big help."
Mr King says police often arrest people who break into cars regularly and recover a lot of property as a result.
"If it hasn't been reported as stolen, we can't locate the owner."
The most common stolen items are electronics like iPads, iPods, laptops, and cash.
Thieves usually only enter unlocked vehicles, but if they see valuable items they will break windows to get in.
"There is CCTV footage in certain areas that assist us, but people reporting it is significant," Mr King says.
Police also suggest not leaving car keys on or under tyres and to keep watch on bags or items they take on to the beach.
