I thought it was more a case of "I like something, but I don't want others to share"

"So that I can feel smugly superior."

You call Glastonbury 'Glasto'
You'd like to go there some day
When they've put up the gun towers
To keep the hippies away

I try not to judge a book by its cover, but Tom Slater doesn't resonate "I had this on import white label before you'd even heard of them" energy.

You can wave your lighter to Sailing so cheer up, Tom.
I think Sir Van's also playing to the delight of antivaxers (Spiked readers).

Rod's not fooling anyone, he's still Rock n Roll.

I seem to remember that Roger Daltrey was a big fan of Nigel Farage and Brexit and then he came to realise that Brexit was bad news for British bands hoping to tour Europe. Rod doesn't have to worry about Brexit because he rarely performs in Europe.

There still seem to be folk whose idea of "a socialist" is akin to Fenton's pet BTL twat.

(I still think it's Fenton's alter ego)

You can arrive on Wednesday so it's pretty cheap for five days of top entertainment. Certainly cheaper than a camping holiday at an international football tournament. And unlike the England team, Glastonbury more or less guarantees joy.

Following on from the BS about transformer fires, this warmed my heart this morning. There is sufficient surplus capacity in our renewable sector at the moment that we're exporting electricity across Europe and actually earning from it.
