More liff

STOKING (n.)

Stirring your bag, wondering what it was you were looking for.

Like woking but with a bag.

 

Liff

TENTPLATE (n.)

Folding cardboard shape corresponding to base of your tent. Essential for squeezing in late at a crowded festival.

The Go Team

A hip hop band with a piano. The Go Team are making the kind of tunes Belle and Sebastian would be making by now if they hadn't gone completely twee and forgotten that it's important to write music people can dance to.

Great Glastonbury gig despite the swamp at the John Peel Stage.

 

Death of Primal Scream

Most disappointing glastonbury show.

Mani boasted to 50,000 people who'd been wearing wellies/plastic bags for 3 days about how he'd just arrived in a helicopter. Then he called his tired, muddy, happy, positive audience a "bunch of fucking hippies".

Talk about forgetting who bought the albums. Apparently he had to be removed from the stage by security people at the end of the gig - i didn't stay to see it. Time to retire dude.

.. in the new Spielberg/Cruise version of The War of the Worlds.

EU agricultural subsidies

46% of the 2005 EU budget, mostly goes to France.

Nice pie chart.

Seems unfair on the Polish to me.

 

wireless oxford

Wireless access points in Oxford. .

Adrian tells me it's via the quiz machines.

I'm planning to take my laptop to the Elm Tree this weekend. Now accepting bets on how long it takes me to get mugged.
