        4 water escapes
        5 cheese

        1 - Top was off
        2- Laces were double knotted
        3 - I was getting checked out left, right and centre but that’s standard
        4 - No water escapes
        5 - Got into an argument with some cunt who wanted to put dairy free butter in my sausage and egg bap (not a euphemism) Had to verbally dismantle him in front of his colleagues and a huge queue, if he was saw me in Tooting he would definitely punch / strangle me.

            Smallman1 good man…were Foals actually any good though? I sat through some of it on telly and wanted to stick my foot through the Sammy. Insipid, turgid claptrap of the highest order.

                Homegrove Is it? How dare they deviate from the formula. Some of it sounds a bit Friendly Fires but that’s not necessarily a bad thing

                    I enjoyed Foals but that may have been something to do with the gargantuan kitchen sinking.

                    alistair the double whammy of Holy Fire and What Went Down I guess kept me expecting more of the same calibre of songwriting. It’s ok to change your sound, but the tunes are not there anymore.

                      Same 🤮 absolute shite for hipster wankers. (sorry hipster wankers )

                      Regarding Bicep, who’s gig was indeed fucking amazing, my boy made a similar comment to what Alistair said, ‘ Why is there no one on stage?’
                      Did seem a bit odd that 80 odd thousand people were stood watching what was essentially a fancy light show. Underworld and the chems far more engaging.

                        alistair

                        Really? Did you see how big the Sam fender crowd was ? Same stage wasnt he and it looked like there was a million people going off their tits to a current artist, not some old cunt pissing into a bag with his mates.

                          Macca was dogshite, but what do you expect from an 80 year old (not disrespecting his legacy)? I’ll carry on waiting for Slipknot. Then I’ll see you fuckers down the front!

                          My heart would’ve sunk if I’d gone and heard this bollocks whilst off my chops.

                          Lolz never bothered listening to that in detail before but the lyrics are like something a child would write. Think it’s safe to say he used up all his good ideas prior. Then along came the frog song .

                            alistair I wasted 90 minutes of that festival and more because I had to get there and get back - absolute tripe and an insult to the crowd.

                              Foals were Shite
                              Idles, Fontaines, Bicep, Four Tet, Sleaford Mods, Avalon Emerson, Digweed, LTJ Bukem all smashed it. Sasha was very good, John Monkman was ace. Joy Orbison was pretty good too.
                              Hospitality looked horrific, full of stockbroker types who probably worked in the music biz, all looked very depressed and probably hadn’t had a non - chemically induced erection since streaming took over from CDs.
                              Best vibe was at the couple of ‘secret afters’ I attended at the production camping areas. Totally twat free zones except for the couple of pricks we let in from hospitality because they had loads of Boutros. After they had been rinsed we kicked them out though.
                              Great Festival!!
                              Easily the best bit was my hypnotic techno set in the Teepee field on Wednesday Night. Job done 😉
