Off Topic Radio 1 Big Weekend

I never went in the end
First time in many years I've not been (busy tomorrow too, but I'll see)

 

It was ok. My mates lad was playing. Good young band. But two or three pubs we went in served it in plastic glasses. Why? The pubs were no fuller than a normal Saturday night. Poor show for me.
You heard of bricknell brwewery den? I was drinking a lot of that in wok so ever. Was ok. Not great

 

Heard of it but not drank it
Plastic glasses are ****e. Can understand if it's heaving, but not if it isn't busy
Has been bouncing some years though so might be pre planned in expectation of bigger numbers

 

Had a great time (bar one dickhead pissing on my wife's leg during Kasabian, had his cock out 5 feet away from young kids pissing in a bottle - ****). Didn't stay for Katy Perry, not my bag.

Back for more tomorrow. Anybody who went today and stayed til the end, how quickly were the buses moving? Was there a long wait?

 

My mrs and daughter kept halfway through any perry. She said it was starting to turn a but nasty, with stewards stepping in. A lot pissed up.
They got on straight away but she reckoned it would be bad at the end.

On another note some of daughters friends went to town to get the bus at twelve waited three hours and were told no more buses, they had to go home. They're heartbroken obviously.

Also mrs fuming at the prices, 5 quid for a tray of chips!!!
And my little daughter and her mates were disgusted at the amount of litter people drop.

Apart from that she had a great time.

No1 daughter is going today. It's also her. 13th birthday today.

 

Happy birthday to No1 daughter, hope she has a great day Chazz.

 

Yeah the litter was quite shocking. There'll be some hard graft this morning clearing it before it starts today.

Kicking off at Katy Perry?! I can't think of a gig I'd expect to kick off at less! I actually hate drunk people. I don't know how they managed to afford to get so drunk yesterday though!

Glad your daughter had a good time. Hope the other one does today. I hope by no1 your referring to age rather than favouritism??

 

Cheers john.

chazz the dog is my favourite. As I constantly tell the kids...
Ye by age.

I've just watched the vid back of her opening her prezzys. I crammed a helluva lot of Dadisms into my comments

 

Teenage daughter now Chazz
Happy Birthday to her
Happy 'Scaring any potential boyfriend/girlfriend/husband/wife/partner so that they know that you'll kill them if they treat her badly...for the rest of your life' to you

 

Regarding your daughters friends missing it. I'm not suggesting it didn't happen, but it is confusing. The buses were running taking people there right into the evening to allow for people working during the day
I did hear there was some issues at Walton St, but it seems really strange
Horrible for them though whatever happened

 

What do people expect to pay for food at these events? Especially considering the exceptional value of getting in. At Glastonbury it's always £5 for anything - chips, a pastie - anything. As for beer, you pay £5 a pint in Leeds city centre.

 

And now the lying has started. Just asked her again. Well she did go but she waited from one till three thirty and didn't stay long....
But that's not the same as not getting there daughter.
Whatever dad

 

£5 for burgers which I think is ok
As you say there's not much chance you'd get a pint of Heineken for any less than £5 at any festival in the U.K.

And all festival prices should be in multiples of £5 anyway so you don't have to carry change around (we do the same thing with players so club's can pay exactly £10m ...it stops us having to keep millions of pound coins to give the change to agents )

 

Haha
A fine example of how rumours start! (I suspect the 1-3.30 might be an 'estimate' as well)

 

Happy birthday for your daughter, enjoy it while you can. I have two teenage girls and they get more difficult as they get older.

 

Mine are late 20's / early 30's
I shall save this thread and let you know just as soon as it gets any easier!

 

Daughter went to Walton st at nine got there for ten thirty
