Who knew people on here got so precious about puns when there's so much other shit gets flung around?

Anyway, Macca would be great if for no other reason than to have The Stones and the main remaining Beatle on the same bill.

So you are saying it's ok to make fun about 96 fans who got crushed to death? Or that It's fun to mock those families who have had to contend with the biggest police cover up this country has ever seen?

If thats your idea of fun then what a sick twisted mind you must have

I never mentioned hbro actually, my made up joke was more to do with the republic of Merseyside and its constant quest for justice.

I could talk further about hilsbrough with knowledge and reason but the above notion renders the rational off bounds

I seem to remember we have been here before... It is so very easy to hide behind anonymity, things said may or may not be said with such ignorance and sensitivity but would you say it in the company of people you hardly know? Now we seem to be slinging about one tragedy being the same as another and that possibly the people who died in 89 had something to do with Heysal in some way?

No idea whether it's from The Sun or not as I don't read it

Only if you take it as so. There's a musical act from Merseyside called Justice. There's a musical act from France called Justice. I don't instantly assume things are offensive or take offense on other peoples behalf or....

....choose to descend into the realms of squealing, won't-someone-think-of-the-children hysteria

Indeed it is. We really need some sort of announcement.

They key word there being ingorance, living in Liverpool im fully aware of what has transpired, it has left a lasting affect on the city.

Those who have no connection with Liverpool may find it easy to make a throw away remark, but in future think before you speak because there's people who lost parents, sons, daughters, cousins.

Now ive had my rant as someone said let's lighten up - Macca at Glastonbury? Seen him in Liverpool last year he's still got it, but like Oasis towards the end his concerts are now just one big sing along karaoke. Is that a bad thing? It all depends what you are after I suppose

Although I regret that I may be "carrying this on" somewhat. I have to, and at every level address all forms of oppressive attitudes. I am never surprised at where it comes from, either some people really think in this way or are simply very unintelligent and are not clever enough to have reasonable opinions. I am just as disappointed about the initial " The less scousers the better" as I am at what followed. Its a throw away comment, just as I would expect were the ones that followed. But disappointing all the same.

I know Liverpudlians who have no connection to the tragedy (and who weren't even born) but who still jump on the bandwagon in order to seem important and to give them some identity. Sort of like the cretins who sing about the IRA without any knowledge of the situation or history because they like being in a big masculine group. Are these people not ripe for parody? Or are they forever protected because they choose to latch onto and use a sensitive issue?

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
