Shades of the heatwave in Brno and Budapest in 2007, when the temperature was 42 or 43 degrees. Bucharest the same - I think it was there that Mick sprayed water on the crowd (correct me if misremembered).

"welcome to the american express, british summer time, super-spreader covid event!" not very funny – some people here reported that they caught Covid at the first Hyde Park show Or that is their assumption, whereas few people really know with any certainty where they caught Covid. Could have been on a bus, a train or plan

In that case, I would contact American Express to explain the difficulty and demand a quick fix. BST Hyde Park is, after all, billed as being presented by AMEX.

QuoteOriongalaxy Quotea bigger nut Hi. Is it still required to take FFP2 mask in Milan public transportations, locals ? If so, I have to bring it. I am from Tokyo. Face masks are no longer required in Italy. No tests, no vaccine proof. No restrictions. BTW.my partner slso comes from Japan. I was just in Italy (returned home yesterday) and was asked to wear a face mask on public transport.

Not sure yet but I always carry a mask with me just in case. I am triple vaccinated and wore antiviral masks, but even so I finally got Covid just recently. I recovered three weeks ago and have not really been wearing a mask since, as I am hoping that I may have acquired or regained some kind of immunity to tide me over against another bout until a fourth shot is offered in another few months (or

So Heathrow Express staff told me this morning that that the trains between Heathrow/Paddington/Heathrow won’t be able to run during any train strike because there won’t be anyone operating the signals.

QuoteTopi Will Heathrow Express be affected by the strike though? Are their workers part of it? Not 100% clear if it's affected or not.

What Topi said. I've been three times to Stockholm and never set eyes on any Swedish money at all - I have no idea what it looks like! Arlanda Express is good when it works. When I was returning to the airport after the last Stones show, there was a technical problem and it was withdrawn from service at short notice. So a bunch of us had to jump in a cab instead.

Yes, the RAH postponements and cancellation were a bummer. I had great seats as well. Out of curiosity, I just checked tickets for Roger's solo show at the London Palladium and was shocked to find that a stall seat is basically £320, including service fee. Jeez... A far cry from the £13 I seem to remember paying to see him and Pete at Pryzm in Kingston. Now that was a true gem.

The new lateral flow test requirement is in addition to a mandatory PCR test that has to be done within 48 hours of arrival in the UK, with arriving passengers having to self-isolate until they get a negative PCR test result.

Well, Patti eclipsed herself on her second show at the RAH last night. She varied the setlist to great effect and didn't repeat any of the same anecdotes or lines. It was the first time for me to hear her do My Generation - and she broke all her guitar strings in the process. More five-star reviews, this time from the Guardian and the i newspaper, which said she was "still the world&
