I went to Reading in 2007 and it properly fucked me up for a week.
RHCP were fucking awful, NiN and the Pumpkins were pretty damned good though, plus I fell in love with Datarock and had a panic attack during The Pigeon Detectives. I can recommend not staying up all night drinking, smoking weed and doing speed the night before a long weekend at a festival.

The Pigeon Detectives gave you a panic attack?
Impressive, considering they're so bloody dull.

My edit may go some way to explaining my state of mind during that performance.
OH and I saw Billy Talent live, which was on my list.

Nice one.
I think Seasick Steve might be playing at Leeds, can't remember to be honest. If he does, it'll be worth a watch I reckon.

Definitely, one of my mates has seen him, said he was fucking awesome.

I just checked, he is playing.
Pete Doherty can shit the fuck off though.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Wed 15 Jun 2011, 11:53, Reply)

I'd go see Pete Doherty, he's a twat but his music's ok.

No it isn't. It's shite.

That 'Ken Doherty' fellow is a disgrace to drug-takers everywhere.

Good in and around the balls though.

He was probably paranoid after all the weed and feared someone was going to inform the authorities.

I heard you hitchhiked and were picked up by a lorry that travelled nationwide and was driven by a woman called Clara

I find it very difficult to believe that the Smashing Pumpkins were good
Unless they played another band's songs, and had them sung by someone other than Billy fucking Corgan

Watch out, he'll have a different opinion to you about politics or suits next.

Also, next February 19th, Brighton Half Marathon. You in?
(Bazongaloid, Wed 15 Jun 2011, 11:53, Reply)

Yes mate, sign me up
Am hoping to be well-versed in the practice of running 13 miles by then. Plus they love me down there.

If you take DF to Brighton, it won't be the half marathon he'll be in.

He'll be in Dr Brightons bent over the pool table before heading off to Revenge.

Luckily, I'm still too young to have to consider that. Yet.
(The Luggage is haunted..., Wed 15 Jun 2011, 11:55, Reply)

Nope
Because that would mean I'd had sex at his age. Something I'm sure he hasn't managed either.

True.
Fapping furiously to thoughts of a naked Maggie Thatcher in a threesome with John Major and Edwina Currie can only get you so far.
