We had some of that on Saturday watching Idlewild.
Though the lead singer of The Twang got a trainer in the face. That made me smile, the Brummie wanker.

Sweet.
The problem at Blur was that ALL the booze was sold in placcy bottles, so at times it was like trying to watch through a swarm of large green locusts, to be honest.

I got hit by a thrown full glass bottle of Smirnoff at a Stereophonics gig in Swansea a while back. The Welsh know how to do violence properly. There's lovely.

It was the last gig at Morfa stadium before they tore it down
good gig, but a bit nationalistic*

Fucking massive fights, couldn't open my mouth for fear of being killed for being English and they played a montage of famous Welsh rugby victories at the start**

And I camped in a random field near Porthcawl so I could surf the next day and two pissed up valley boys in a nicked transit came within about 3 feet of killing me and the relevant missus at the time by rallying round the field at 4 in the morning. "we couldn't see the tent, boyo, it was green"

They were just all upset at having to be in Swansea.
It's a horrible place.

Swansea is quite rough.
I say this as somebody who's lived in rough places. It's genuinely a bit rough.
