- Top 3 Underrated acts

I've no idea who people rate, overrate or underrate. If I underrate an act how could I know?

- Top 3 Guilty Pleasure acts

I wasn't convinced I had any, but, following your lead:

Haim - I really like their music, but think they are incompetent at playing it. I will still go.

Smashing Pumpkins - they are nothing but a Smashing Pumpkins tribute band

Rita Ora - and there goes any hope of credibility

- Top 3 things most looking forward to doing

Eating burittos for breakfast

Wandering round Green Fields

Going to the OG&H meet

      Tbf that happened to me in 2022 so not a one off. 40 euros to drive down 3 streets. I'd have done a runner but the reason for getting the taxi in the first place is cos I couldn't walk no more.

      I was fully prepared (waterproof jacket, extra pair of socks, foldable umbrella), but after four hours in the rain (from Geese through Oklou to Florence Road), it was just too much. Already at the hotel, let's hope tomorrow's better.

      It’s rare that I watch question time, but I almost felt sorry for Kenyon, he seemed like a guy just brought off the street which effectively is what he was, made worse by the fact Burnham and the Tory guy were very strong debaters. I think Burnham was very aware not to go too hard on Kenyon and risk him getting sympathy, in fact he pretty much ignored him.
