Pizza as a whole is definitely a rip off. I have only ever paid for 4/5 pizzas that I have really enjoyed and felt I got food value for. Pizza is so much nicer when you make it yourself.

I also agree with Swede. AM is a fucking masterpiece of an album

It must be different circles of friends, I've always wanted to go to Brussels, so have my friends, those who have have said great things. Never heard any of my friends talk about wanting to go to Vienna, as foreign places go it's not up there on my to do list that's all

It must be. You should all definitely head to Brussels though. I went there twice last year with two different circles and had a brilliant time both times. The choice of beer in the Delerium cafe is unbeatable, the restaurants we visited we top notch and the architecture in places is magnificent. The Grand Place is worth the trip to Brussels alone.

Vienna's great if you like art and music* and old cafes; maybe less great for youthful hedonism.

* I'm no opera buff, but we went to see The Magic Flute at the Volksopera and really enjoyed it.

I think I'm being a bit (if not very) harsh on Vienna. We went there when everything was shut and it was intended to be a rest period between Prague & Budapest. We certainly didn't make the most of the place while we were there. I'll have to go back there some day.

If we're going to call an Arctic Monkeys album underrated, you'd have to say Humbug (certainly in my circles). I'd say it's quite easily their best but I know a fair few people who aren't keen. Mind you, a lot of those think Teddy Picker is a good track.

Humbug is a great album.

I prefer their albums in reverse order I think.

Barcelona is an incredible place. The only place you can be offered everything under the sun in 30 seconds by the same Bangladeshi bloke on the beach. At 11am.

Drink? Nice beer for you we have...... Hats, you want hats? ..... Crack? You want crack? .....Sunglasses, we have very nice glasses? Girls? We have nice girls for you..." etc

To be fair, that type of gentleman is prevalent in quite a few european cities.

It's just to busy for me, Barca. Was blown away by how relaxed Seville was by comparison, a lot easier to get away from the trail.

Mine would probably go:

Humbug

WPSIATWIN

SIAS

AM

FWN

I think Suck It and See is their best swiftly followed by Humbug. But opinions, arseholes, everyones got one etc..

Have you been to Ibiza?

Not since I was a small kid in the mid 80s. Pre club scene. No interest either.

Yeah "only" was meant to be in that post!

So I hear about Seville yeah. Also must get a Northern Spanish trip in at some stage.

I am gonna change my mind from what I said and rank them thus:

AM

Humbug

SIAS

WPSIATWIN

FWN

Same basic idea but slight order change

AM comes bottom simply because they became such unbearable w*nkers during that era.

Dublin is immense mate I love Dublin! Trade?!

I have seriously noticed though that people who don't live in London love the place whereas people who live here are sick of it.

We just had some bad news regarding our tenancy (basically the landlord wants us gone 6 months early and if we don't go then we get to stay until April next year then HAVE to go with no extention) so I am fucking dreading trying to find another flat we can afford. Rent is ridiculous near here. Hopefully I can get a new job and move.

    • 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
