    Oh FFS still with the re-living my youth crap. I so don't give an f about it.

    I agree the lineups have changed - it was only 5 or so years ago that I went and it was dance and rock/indie, although Dizzie Rascal was on big stages historically.

    Basically it reflects what young people are listening to at the time - and the older you get, the more detached you are from that.

    Aren't seatbelts or smoking a better analogy?

    Not quite, because face masks are much better at stopping you from infecting someone else, rather than the other way around.

    Passenger seatbelts and secondary smoking?

    Careful what you wish for - we might end up with a lot of Cake Stoppers having to wear burqa style garments :)

    People who don't give a $h1t about sliding standards and then end up moaning about it when it reaches their door.

    Agree completely it should move on. But live music doesn’t have pop roots. A music festival is a celebration of live music.

    Amid what seems to be a ton of hype Continental has apparently finally released it's much awaited cream colored sidewall tire. Things like that immediately trigger an adverse, sarcastic, reaction in me. I really do want to meet the people who are "pre-ordering" these. If only to ask if they were dropped on their head as a baby.

    Like everything that's fashionable today, the same people buying them now will be saying they're sh-1t tomorrow and laughing at anyone who still uses them. See also flares, platform shoes, the wearing of jeans half way down your @rse etc etc.

    Almost makes me want to buy a set, just to watch people go apeshít. 🤣
    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.
    I am not sure. You have no chance.

    Take the opportunity to buy the all black ones in bulk. Soon they will be retro.

    I just wish I'd hung on to those yellow Michelins I had in 2000....
