BBC Glastonbury Sycophants

[malumbu]

I've put a nice into together but don't seem to be able to post it, perhaps as there are a few words that are close to profanities.

OK, that worked. Before I have my starter for ten, just thining a little more since I first intended to start this post.

Thing that is probably hacking me off is that the BBC can only give praise. Now part of the fun in listening to Alan Green commentating on Five Live is when it is a dire match. Clearly no eqivalent on BBC's festival coverage.

Still having problems in posting my original intro, so this is abbeviated.

This is purely for fun. Please use other threat for proper debate.

No 1 hate is 'Glasto' (see other thread that beat me to it). Jo Wiley must have been told, as she isn't using it.

No 2 is Chris Evans, who seems to have mutated to a Clarkson type person, and was just totally OTT when broadcsting yesaterday morning.

No 3 was a little earlier - saying how amazing Michael Clark was, and that you never saw this sort of thing. Where have you been hiding for the last 30 years?

Repeat, this is just a bit of fun.

Half the cabinet and most Tory think tanks are down there...enuff said. All good fun but now as much part of the season as Ascot/Henley etc......give me Henge 1984 or even better Castle Morton any day*

This is a crap thread

Am I missing something?

Thread is some amsuing comments on the BBC commentary. Simple n'est pas? I've got over the "terrible, corporate guff. It's soul" Phase. Even though I fully agree with this!

So back to the BBC. The only thing I can add from today's casual listening is the insistence of stating Glastonbury Festival in every sentence.

Yes, pretty clear that you have blanket coverage on the radio. So it is obvious what you are talking about. I suppose if you pay a load of dosh you have to get your money's worth, but appears to be a reverse of where the HAVE to recognise the sponsor.

Perhaps they should say, the Glastonbury Festival of Perfoming Arts, formerly raising money for CND (for you corporate warmongers out there, with no soul) and now (I haven't checked) for Greenpeace - you corporate polluters out there, with no soul.

But I am digressing. Surely someone has something amusing to add.

Oh, I do have something to add. I have zero interest in Kanu West,now he has quite football. Obviously BBC have. So half the discussion today seems to have been "he forgot his words at the Glastonbury Festival, and was out of pitch at the Glastonbury Festival". "Wow, what a Glastonbury Festival rock and roller eh? At the Glastonbury Festival" "That is what makes the Glastonbury Festival so special". "Lets ask these Glastonbury Festival goers, what they think of Kanu's great performance as the Glstonbury Festival headliner on Saturday night at the Glastonbury Festival"

PS conversely thought Jay Z was a good headliner, so not simply having a pop at the genre.
