I think everyone should hand their phones in on the way in and collect them on the way out.


You've patiently waited all day and slowly picked your way to the very front row to see Dizzee, your fave act, like, EVER. During 'Bonkers', your fave song, like EVER - he decides upon a spot of crowdsurfing. Do you:


a) Enjoy this special moment through the magic of your own eyes where the sacred memory of it will live in your heart forever.


b) Stick your phone in the air, watch the whole thing on a two-inch screen and then bore people to death by showing them out of focus images of Dizzee's knee accompanied by heavily distorted music.

Anyway, The Stones - I thought they were great, especially Country Girl and Get Your Rocks Off. Not sure who the headliners were tho

I started to watch their set on Iplayer this afternoon but after about five minutes I couldn't take anymore. I tried again a little while later but it was even worse. Embarrassing. Fucking awful. I couldn't watch anymore. Yet I saw them a couple of years ago at Shepherds Bush Empire and they were fucking excellent.

PIL should always be experienced in a building with no windows in the performance area and all light electrically driven, saw them last year at the the Forum and they looked and sounded great, when performing songs.

When Rotten took it upon himself to have a go at at the security staff for doing their job, and continued to do so between, it put a bit of a crimp in the evening.

Though there was enough affirmation from the crowd for his rantings, so maybe it was me.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.

      I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
