Coincidently I brought a ticket for Damnation festival in Leeds today.
Not sure I'll bother with Download this year, the undercard normally leave a lot to be desired, and the layout now is by far the worst of any festival I've been to. I'll probably end up going to Hellfest in France again this year, as it's always the bestest thing ever.

Not bothered about seeing any of the three again to be honest, although Maiden are touring their earlier stuff at the minute, which is ace.
Download festival goers wet dream so far, though.

Good save - defence looking pretty bad at the moment.
Dreadful from Williamson.

Nutjob has a great stream on it.

Doesn't affect me as I'm a boring cunt with nowt to say, but I imagine the constant snide comments and one-upmanship from a lot of posters puts people off contributing. Its certainly pretty cringeworthy to read.

What did he say about the disallowed goals?
-
Apparently he is a believer in homeopathy. Just what the NHS needs in cash strapped times, being led by a man who believes in magic.
Just came here to post that too. Sounds like the new Equality minister Maria Miller is also ironically lacking in her new field.

Seems like this German girl quite likes wor Alan.
Not sure if I'm more disturbed or impressed at her dedication to the Silver Fox.

Class goal by Adriano for Barca against Valencia

L'equipe reporting we are interested in M'Vila for £12mil
Can only see it happening if Tiote/Cabaye go for around double that
Spurs have bid 12.7mil + add ons according to BBC Sport

first opening day win since Fat Sam vs Bolton 2007?
Was that when Martins scored that overhead kick from about 2 yards out?

I don't know much about the Olympics, but I can't wait for next years!

Pretty interesting video about flying drones from a few months ago - the stuff they can do is mental.

Aye Hoy will be a huge miss at the next Olympics. That race was incredible cos when the German went past him I thought he was beat and he just came roaring back. Absolutely immense.
He'll be missed as he's clearly an absolute beast, but we'll continue to do well without him. The cycling setup GB have is great as the last few years have shown. Jason Kenny's already come up and taken Hoy's spot in the individual sprint and won it with ease, and the rest of the team is in great shape breaking records all the time whilst still young.

Laura Trott wins gold in the omnium with a great sprint!
-
Picked a bad race for it! Everyone else but one sub-11 seconds but no one's paid it any attention after GBs performances last night
-
Elimination in the Omnium now - much more exciting/simple to watch!
-
That was only one event of the 6, the others are a lot easier to follow. The points race is normally pretty good to watch, but as they scrapped in in favour of doing 6 different disciplines it made it a bit of a mess because a lot of the riders now involved aren't endurance cyclists so none of them really wanted to take turns at the front or press very much and it was dominated by a few. Having said that, it is normally a bit mad anyway!
-
If they were going to add it, they should have kept the events that are in it too rather than ditching a load. It's like scrapping the road race in favour of the triathlon
-
The field left Britain to do all the hard work for the whole race - they did a great job but it caught up to them towards the end when such a big group broke away.
Great race, though
-
Road race is absolutely brilliant - only about 15 minutes left, definitely worth tuning it.

Last camped in 2009 to see Faith No More, went on the Sunday last year - the layout of the arena isn't terrible, but trek to and from it is a pain, particularly when the weathers been bad, although they've improved it since they first moved it in 2008
The fact the the lineup is normally so uninspired bar a couple of bands is the main reason I probably won't bother again, particularly when there are a whole bunch of other festivals across Europe that always have line ups I much prefer, that said it was always great fun when I went.
