Glastonbury pulls the plug on defeat

Good ol' Bosch Customer Service. The fridge had problems, the pressure was on to excel with some macho mechanics ... and the online help pages came to the rescue! The big question: "Why's the floor of the main refrigerator section always wet?" The answer: "Possibly because the condensation water drainage channel is blocked. Clean it with a cotton bud." And magic - out popped a slimy plug of formerly edible vegitation. One happy missus. Little things like that have help balm the hurt of the last-minute Lions defeat - little things like the English, Irish, Scottish and Welsh real ales quoffed by our gentleman visitors as they settled down for our front-room Sky Sportfest. Little things like TV's Glastonbury coverage too. What a fabulous event it looked - small screen highlights were The Specials and Madness, of course, but also Bat For Lashes' Daniel, Bon Iver's Skinny Love, Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up, Blur's The Universal, Tom Jones' Delilah, Kasabian, Springsteen, Quo (yes, why not, Status Bleedin' Quo!), the bum cheeks of Lady Gaga and the enthusiasm of the Beeb's presenters. Mark Riley, take a bow. And happy birthday.
