I'm happy I managed to get Leeds tickets with no real hassle this year.

Wasn't going to go this year and hadn't bothered looking in to it, but having seen the lineup - I'll have some of that!

Probably wont go for the weekend but I'm sure I can interest a mate of mine in to going to the Friday and then someone else has already said they'll go to see Guns N Roses on the Sunday (we were there the last time Axel turned up). Just need someone who'd fancy going to see Limp Bizkit, Cypress Hill and Blink - there's only me I can think of :P

I've saved myself a small fortune and just refurbished an old broken 30Gb ipod video to its former glory :P Installed a new screen, clickwheel, headphone jack and put on a new front & back housing/ casing- all for the grand total of £25. Really enjoyed the whole process of taking the thing to bits, installing the new parts and the putting it back together- it only took 20 minutes too :P

Nice. Depending on my job situation over the summer (i.e. if there is still a job there for me) I might have a look into this. Had an old school ipod which i punted on ebay for about 20 quid. Was it £25 for parts and the ipod or did you already have it?

£25 for the parts- though you could get them cheaper if you were willing to order from Hong Kong or China and wait more than a week for the various parts. I spent about £20 on the ipod earlier in the year but never had the cash or time to fix it until now so was kind of impatient. Tbh I think you could find a few ipods going for around £30 or so that only need a £4 battery fitted or a £10 screen replacement. Personally, I stayed away from faulty nano's though as they look difficult to take apart and the batteries in them need to be soldered in place (I've no experience soldering stuff or the tools).

Bought my brother a fully working 4th gen 20Gb (monochrome screen) from ebay not too long ago for only £16 (inc P&P) so you can pick up a few cheap bargins without having to fork out on spare parts. Also bought myself an almost brand new 4th gen 8Gb nano for the gym for just £49 inc P&P :P

My little boy playing with his newly discovered favourite thing in the world - a balloon.

One of the cutest and funniest things I've ever seen, bless him.

I miss him when I'm at work. :P

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
