Wow where do we start umm oh yeah the begining !!
THURSDAY
Myself and my 2 fine amigos got on the train to reading about midday and eventually arrived at the camp about 2:30pm. Now last year we arrived later and found the best campspot ever in yellow but this year we did a lap of the camp and ended up in Brown I in what can only be described as Bog luckily my cheapy tent did me proud and kept me dry. But then we hit town in wellies had a mcdonalds then hung around the tents playing cards till fairly late we then hit the action aid tent then came back and had a late night open mic Bo Selecta chat with our neighbours when we were joined by 2 more party members and we formed our classic Cheese choir oh and we watched two girls snogging for about half an hour after which it was time to Sleep.
FRIDAY
Woke up far too early and found that we had been the victims of crime as my mates wallet had been nicked and my tent had been opened but my money was on me so I was lucky. My burgaled mate and our 2 other chums went to town whilst me and Dave went to see the GLC and man I was blown away I didnt know what to expect but they get an 9/10 for pure entertainment. We stayed through Taking Back Sunday (6/10) to Watch the Fish who were brilliant better than I had hoped (8/10) we then retreated to our tents as my feet were killing in wellies which decided to attack my legs till i duck taped them. Anyway we headed back to the main arena to catch the wildhearts (7/10 it would have been more but the sound and guitars kept fucking up) and the donnas (8/10) who were superb we saw the end of the hives (5/10) who didnt really float the boat. We settled for a good posistion for Ash (9/10) who were bloody awesome and har mar was the icing on the cake. The offspring were the pinnicale of the day (10/10) as they blew me away with their set they should have been top bill as the darkness well they let me down by playing well but the same old stuff (7/10) and having seen them before it was a bit deja vous. After the hawkins kicked out we went to see the welsh looneys and enjoyed what we could see of their act but I didnt eat again that night !! I got back and fell asleep !
SATURDAY
Me and dave both craved porcelain after the last few days so we headed to a pub I knew of from last year but it didnt open till 12 so we sat around reading the papers (ROONEY was a weekend highlight) before watching the football and having an all day breakfast.
After the pub we headed back in time for dave to catch Har Mar and for me to see one of the 10/10 bands the Glitterati and I got to the barrier before the tent swelled and they were brilliant beyond words loved every min. When they got off stage I went to find dave and we went to see Frank Ferdinand (8/10) and the libertines (8/10) who both put on competent sets. Now I am no fan of Morrissey as have never really been arsed to listen but he was ok (3/10) I know but well didnt float my boat. Now forgive this next bit but the White Stripes were shit I left after an hour and kept hoping they would get better they didnt appreciate that at a festival doing the hits properly (fell in love with a girl) is mega important so I give them 0/10 !!!! We left saddened and again went to sleep (I know 23 and old already)
SUNDAY
Ah sunday had come and we all headed for town to a near desserted weatherspoons and I had some yum grub ! After which we got back to find the times had been altered due to the rasmus wimping off. We got t shirts and got back in for the streets who completely changed my opinion of them they were awesome and get a deserved (9/10) I nearly got killed by the lostprophets crush so went out got and ice cream and came back in the side and enjoyed the rest of the set (8/10) and how cool was the crowd divide. I was from now on my own as my fellow festival goers had been pushed to the front but being there to listen I stayed back. Anyway Placebo did their job (7/10) and hearing nancy boy was a bonus. Now I would like to take credit for the "We would rather watch the rasmus chant" which came over whilst umm whats his name Half a Pound played I mean he stuck around but u do not throw full bottles full pelt from a height and throwing ur mic which hurt some girl badly I hear is not on. Anyway he gets a 0/10 for being a complete twat. Then to my festival high Greenday every minute was awesome and by the end my voice had gone and was not to return properly till tuesday !!! Billy was awesome (10/10) and as he said "This is a rock show not the hood" i went away realising why I had put up with the mud. Afterwards I got back drank the remaining beer chatted about who would win in a fight between Tony Hart and Neil Buchanan and watched idiots firing fireworks across the campsite and exploding bupane cannisters on fires. We went to bed about 2am drunk tired and wishing it was next year tomoro.
MONDAY
Well what can I say I got up left my faithful tent (too lazy) got to the station about 8 it was empty we had tickets so got straight through got on a earlier train and went home to the ones we loved and chanting FUCK YOU ALICA KEYS !!!!!
