    I don't know much about your opinion of rap Dunk, but what I read was 'shit (because he is a) rapper' ;)

    This is why I've not really bothered with the Porch much lately.

    If Pearl Jam DID go to Glastonbury though, I might consider going. Glastonbury looks so boring to me.

    And if the portaloos are as bad as Reading... I only went to see PJ, wouldn't have done it for anyone else. ;)

    The line-up this year is pretty dreadful.... not worth spending £125 on a ticket. Though the 'experience' of Glastonbury is something....

    I'm not worried about the toilets. It just looks boring and dismal most of the time.

    Reading looks okay! I wanted to go back in '95. ...ahhh '95 when a mars bar only cost 10p and music MEANT something. ;)

    True - its usually full of corporate middle class types pretending to be hippies for the weekend.....I'm kinda glad they're not playing cos its about 20 miles down the road from me and I'd be pretty pissed off if I couldn't get tickets to that gig (backward thinking I know :o )

    absolutely... i dont mind some rap tyoonz (see what i did there Boi ;) ) but as a headliner for Glastonbury?!??!

    cue 80000 white accountants looking blankly at the stage and mumbling to each other... 'fo shizzle? maybe he said 'faux drizzle'

    and The Verve? hmmmmm poor poor line up (KOL being the obvious exeption) :)
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    Wham bars were yum ... they had other colour crystals as well didn't they? You can still buy them but they are about a quarter of the size ... or may be I've grown :p ... but not much :o
    So are we strangers now? Like rock and roll and the radio?

    I got one of those stuck to my pillow when I was younger. For some reason I hid it under my pillow AFTER I'd eaten half of it. (That was when I was about 26) ;)

    Anyway, carry on...

    glasto was the dogs bollacks ten years ago...

    sadly now you tend to see countless 'hoorays' with that 'oh look at me being so silly in my pink wellys, what would the stock exchange say if they saw me being soooooo wild' .......

    For that reason alone and its corporateness I now longer bother, 7 good years was worth it, sadly when you start getting rappers and Emily eavis involved its time to move on......

    REM at the royal albert anyone??

    haha :D wham bars should carry the same health warning as toblerones, perhaps "Injury Is Inevitable - Proceed With Caution" or something to that effect.......:)
