You made a lot of very passionate posts in a thread about the World Cup - not unreasonable posts either I might add, although I disagreed - and said that football wasn't what Glastonbury was about.

Would you agree that comments like your first post in this thread are rather anti-Glastonbury? Wishing cancer on someone? I find that sort of comment highly distasteful and so it would seem do the majority of people who have replied on this thread. If you can't understand or appreciate why others might and indeed do get offended by such a remark, I suggest you think very carefully before you hit 'add reply'.

I've not had time to read through all the comments so sorry if this has already been mentioned: I saw that Ian Wright hosted show on Channel 5 last night and two guys who blagged their way into the Brits and met Robbie (photo proof) said he left after 20 mins with his gf. He was not drinking alcohol because he is tee total. So how you met him and had this conversation with him when he was drunk is a complete mystery to me............. :P

If you can sing i have less of a problem with it.

examples of acts i dont mind include Elvis, early Rolling Stones, Sinatra etc

when your badly singing someone elses words, whats the point?

wallinger illustrated this point beautifully at SXSW - he stopped halfway through 'shes the one' and simply said 'and i know who she is'

No it isn't. You've clearly no idea what it's like to live with and loose people you love to the big c, and your flippancy shows this.

I'm quite happy to talk about cancer. I just don't tend to use it in humour. Because there isn't that much funny about it really.

I'm over this conversation. I should have gone straight to moderators without engaging, frankly.

It was clearly a throwaway comment. A way of expressing my disappointment that he might be playing.

If you cant see that then god help you.

I'm not going to start apologising for absolutely harmless jokes made on an internet forum.

I've actually watched and RW concert on the TV, which I quite enjoyed (small cigars to blame probably :P ), and I'm sure he'd be a great warm-up act for SW. RW without doubt knows how to get a crowd going. Neither are what I want to see sat in a field in Somerset though, so I'll be elsewhere, but I'm sure fans of either/both will have a lovely time.

The cancer thing? My sister has just been given the all clear, but as she was told there is never a complete fix for cancer - you might get lucky, you probably won't, the issue being rather more likely to be when rather than if.

Edit : Got my mucking fords wuddled...

Surely as soon as you write anything on a PUBLIC forum, it is the "business" of every member of the forum. If you want something to remain none of anyone else's business, keep it to yourself.

Back on topic, I'm not a Robbie fan and generally think he's a bit of a twat but he's got a lot of great songs behind him and I think he'd be a great warm up for Stevie. Whether I go (if it's true) or not depends on what else is on but I wouldn't avoid it like the plague.

Oh and I hate to burst anyone's balloon, but Robbie actually HAS contributed towards the writing of his songs. Certainly a damn sight more than Liam Gallagher.

What, Liam Gallagher doesn't write any songs? What about Meaning of Soul, Guess God thinks I'm Able, Soldier On, Songbird?

Ok, 3 out of them 5 are shit, but he still wrote them.

    • Absolutely second this. Were great at Big Weekend and already have a great catalogue of songs forming so far. Would love to see them on the farm!
    • A mixed first day for us. First of all, we were honestly quite shocked that there was no security check at all at the VIP entrance around 7:30 PM. No bag check, nothing. I’ve attended Primavera many times over the years and this felt surprisingly lax for an event of this size. Did anyone else experience the same?   Another disappointment was the communication regarding the weather situation. Primavera has some of the best sound systems and speaker setups in the festival world, yet somehow they were not able to make a single clear announcement explaining what was happening. Instead, people were expected to read tiny messages on screens in Mordor while thousands were left wondering what was going on. A simple and direct audio announcement would have gone a long way.   On a lighter note, this guy absolutely made my day. Sitting right in front of the Estrella Damm terrace, wearing nothing but a long-sleeve shirt, jeans and a pair of Converse All Stars, he remained completely unbothered by the rain. While everyone else was looking for shelter, he sat there wearing sunglasses, calmly watching the crowd as if he was watching a movie.   Absolute main character energy!
    • I think my party got pretty lucky last night, at least compared to some of the horror stories over on Reddit. I was very impressed with Father John Misty in particular.   Perhaps my view would be different if I were a big Massive Attack fan or whatever, but right now my feeling is that if it's not safe for the shows to go ahead... then it's not safe for the shows to go ahead. I'd much rather they were cautious than roll the dice when it comes to something like that.    Here's hoping everyone has a better day today. 
    • It was awful during Father John Misty and I was close to the front. People just shouting and laughing their f-ing heads off about nothing in particular and being louder than the bloody stage.
    • Other things I noted yesterday, away from the obvious…   Positives: - an extra water point towards the back left of the main stages has appeared, which I believe is new for this year (and was much needed) - handing out free ponchos was a good touch  - caroline were fantastic. I’d never been in the Auditori Rockdelux before, it’s a wonderful venue and a great venue if you fancy a more chilled out environment  Negatives: - the talkers. I know it’s always bad here (and most festivals nowadays) but f**k me people wouldn’t shut up yesterday. I wonder if it was partly as a result of people being at artists they had little interest in (due to rain limiting their options), although it wasn’t great during blood orange. We’ll be making an effort to get a spot nearer the front for anyone we particularly care about over the weekend  - not enough staff around (and the ones that are there are largely useless). Most other festivals have them everywhere and are happy to help
