So back from V festival and it was a great.
Best act on show was Example now although he isn't my cup of tea I can admit that he actually smashed it at Weston Park yesterday.
Other highlights were Tinie Tempah (Again not my thing), Tom Jones and of course Madness (As classics are).
The Indie boys were great as well but I am a little biased on that score obviously.

Example, Tinieh (I've looked three times and I still can't spell it) Tempah?

Someone's spiked your drink.

Have a word.

Nope.
They did and I can't argue as much as I would like too.
Some other things were great don't get me wrong.
The Killers were The Killers end of.
John Squire is a genius on the guitar and I would arguably put him in the top 10 if not higher.
Was surprised how well the Ting Tings went as well.

But to get back to it some acts just 'get' a crowd and Example did exactly that on the day.
Unfortunatly Tinie Tempah did also put on a damn good show.

Saw them in Melbourne a few years ago, they were brilliant, highlight of a festival which included Artic Monkeys and the Prodigy.

Aren't you a bit old for festivals? I imagine you as Terry Scott in Carry on Camping.

No and No.

My young one is going to Leeds fest tomorrow (early bird tickets) his first festival alone, got to admit I am a bit worried, being talking to him about the importance of drinking water, keeping hold of his drink to avoid being spiked, putting suncream on etc...He just looks at me with that glazed look 17 yr olds have

Exactly!

I reckon the phrase most used by parents is " well I did try and tell you!"

I've just got back from a trip into town, can't believe how empty the place was. Hardly any shoppers & loads of empty shops, even in Princes Quay. Its been a good while since I've been from one end to the other, I hadn't realised how bad it is.

It’s been like it for a while now, quite sad really!

The city centre of any city should be a hive of activity.
