10 Things I learnt from Glasto '09

Back from glasto.. after getting tired/wet/sunburnt all at once I've made a list of ten... exciting huh...

I can stop myself mid-sneeze with only an odd squeeky noise emanating out instead
I don't enjoy beard rubbing as a salutation
I should definitely stick to seeing bands I want to see, rather than bands I think I 'should' see
If I leave anything around the campsite I should expect it to be taken from me - but probably not too far from me
Extended time away from computers is definitely a good thing
If you eat too much junk food from the same vendor he will begin to learn your 'usual'
If a guy standing next to you dancing manically asks for a sip of your drink - it may not be to help a paracetamol go down
Feeling bad for someone can make you sit through something you really probably shouldn't
Leaving a gap in the middle of your tents, but not putting a gazebo in it will ultimately lead to someone else putting their tents in it
Wearing wellies in the sun, although stylish, is actually painful

Pick of the weekend? dan le sac Vs Scroobius Pip. So glad I finally got to see them.

You may not know this but this blog has been xml based since its inception (in fact there's a longstanding, not yet achieved, task to 'replace' it with a 'better' persistant storage mechanism -- clearly I must agree then, that the perfect is the enemy of the good). But anyway... don't worry. I'm not about to do anotherblogaboutxml.

Falling out of Kindle love(10th July 2011)

Year in review and resolution posts may seem a bit passe, cliche and anything else that ends in an 'e' that sounds like an 'a'... but let's get one out of our (my) system anyway.
