Someone told me there's a festival coming up in the next few weeks? Any info? (Maybe my informant had just misinterpreted some reference to the Bakewell happening.)


Banjo-Flower, months ago I got tickets for the first three days at Trent Bridge, so I suppose I might as well turn up, even though the Aussis are on a roll (371 in the fourth innings against the best bowling line-up in the world ain't bad). Still England beat them in 1977. And that wasn't the first time. They won in 1930. And 1905. So they might at least hold out for one of those tedious draws.

I'd apologise for thread drift, except that this doesn't seem to count as drift in a Gainsborough thread.
