Not a fan then

I don't mind them, I probably wouldn't go to see them, but I think Run is a decent tune

Fair to say I’m not sold...

[SwedgeAntilles]

Their only half decent tune was Spitting Games. Run was their entry drug to schmaltzy shite, Chasing Cars was their Class A, as Hugh said, sentimental pap low point.

Betting market has reopened on skybet. The significant change - 'Queen' - 11/8

just shows how easily influenced that market is

Being from Northern Ireland I am contractually obliged to own a couple of Snow Patrol albums.  There's some very decent stuff on Final Straw and Eyes Open which isn't really represented by the singles.  I've seen them live a couple of times, and they're fine, but I recently turned down a free ticket to see them again.

That said, I wouldn't take a free ticket to The Killers / Kings of Leon or a few of the other names being bandied around either.

Apparently Latitude has had a small lift installed on the site that requires music 24 hours a day.

Latitude and Glastonbury have never shared a headliner, stand down.

Maybe not a headliner but the other stage possibly

Fucking hell it's not a Snow Patrol hint, calm down you crazies.

Shit like this is why I always take the stairs. Some people tell me my minor fear of lifts is irrational, but I don't see anything irrational about minimising one's risk of exposure to Snow Patrol.

Comparisons to Coldplay can get to fuck as well, even at their worst Coldplay don't even come close to the depths of Snow Patrol.

They'd get a bigger crowd than either Stormzy or The Cure will.

Spice Girls is a 90K monolith reducing the rest of the site to creaky-saloon-door silence.

Music to listen to while watching a video of yourself washing your Ford Mondeo while listening to Snow Patrol. 

But yeah, fuck lifts. The thought of getting stuck in one makes my bum go funny, and not in the good way.

When I was about 19 I got stuck in three lifts for a long period of time in the space of only a couple of days. I'm smarter now. The worst incident was being at work, two of us with a big truck full of beer kegs in a lift, so there was only just room for us to stand up with our backs perfectly flat against the wall. About 5 goddamn hours in a metal box, impervious to mobile phone signal, stood completely upright, waiting for somebody to realise we were missing and work out that we were stuck in a lift in an area of the hotel that wasn't in use. Obviously got told off for it as well. Still makes steam come out my ears to this day.

Reading that makes my shit itch. 

I used to work in Safeway’s. And you could stop the lift between floors (from the shop up to the multi-story car park) by pulling the doors apart. We would then consume beers and snacks we’d regularly / previoysly placed / hidden on the i-beams in the lift shaft. One time the lift didn’t restart and we needed to wait for the lift engineer to be called out. A sort of pissed claustrophobia took over and the whole sorry scenario ended with a sacking. 

I went and got a job at Nevada Bob’s golf emporium and just got drunk there all summer instead. 

Moral of the story? Spice Girls is never gonna happen lads.

I was with a lad called Malcolm whose name badge read ‘Malcoln’ and he had an unhealthy obsession with sharks. I lacked decent back up. 

Snow Patrol won’t play either.

Big crowd but don't think it would be anything ridiculous at headliner time. There are a lot of music fans at Glastonbury.

I had to check out of fear. Sort of like checking the traffic if you've to drive somewhere at rush hour.
