The students here have dates of birth in 1994.

I remember good nights out in 1994.

Staying round my 'girlfriend's' halls of residence the other night made me feel old, when the fire alarm went off at 1am and we all had to evacuate... made me feel very out of place like I shouldn't be there.

A leo on a sunday has always been my favourite session of the week

eta

Though I feel old when I recall that used to have to involve a lock in at the local because pubs shut between 2.30 and 7 on a sunday. In fact, formative drinking years when pubs used to have lunchtime and evening licencing hours before this open all day mullarkey kicked in seems a distant memory

Not on a sunday. 12 - 2 and 7 - 10.30 (I allowed for chucking out time) on a sunday, 12 -3 and 6- 11 mon to sat. Wales were well shit for opening on a sunday mind, especially as you got farther west. And I despise anyone who used to ask 'Is it sunday hours cos it's a bank holiday?'. No, it f**kin isn't.

So f*ck off whoever gave him a +1 :lol:

Sitting in a loud bar at the weekend thinking I would rather be at home in my bed pants and watching X Factor with some hot chocolate!

At the moment it is the horrible realisation that I am not just old compared to teenagers now - I am old compared to 25 & 30 year olds! I look at proper grown women who I really still think are my peers - and realise they are seeing me as someone a generation older. That is actually quite weird.

A serious realisation that I just totally wasn't on the same page as I thought I was came when it was my birthday, and our apprentice at work (who was 22) asked how old I was. I said "Oh - frighteningly ancient" - so she asked me again, and I told her I was 45. Her response? "Oh that's not old! That's only a year older than my mum!"

I think only people in my age bracket and older can understand how gutting that was - it wasn't that I was older than her mum, it was that it never occurred to her that I wouldn't be pleased or flattered by only being a year older than her mum!

Mostly I am really happy with myself regardless of age because I still have a life that many half my age have given up on, but it's those moments when you realise that your outside doesn't match your inside - hmmmm.

    • 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.
