It's an art festival, not a music festival, the clue is in the name.

Best Act - Jamie T or any one of the comedians in Caberet or performers on outside circus. Worst Act - The Quo Best Onstage Moment - Jamie T falling on his arse 3 times in one song and having to be hauled up by stage hands, really think he hurt himself. Best Offstage Moment - Personally, being dragged on stage for "Betty" the strongest woman in the world. Festival Anthem - ABC - Jackson 5. So many places were playing it, I'll always think of Glasto '09 when I hear that now. Act You'd Like To Play Next Year - Sensus.... obviously

The fact that you're basing the quality of the festival on the musical line-up kinda says it all.

Exactly my thoughts. I can just imagine this lot above sat on their sofa with carling in hand saying "this festival lark is ****, why are they headlining?" a few points: Franz Ferdinand were not headliners because of size or importance, they played a secret gig at The Park stage last year, and as such this a nod, a thanks, to them for doing that. As it happened, the field at Other Stage was heaving so you would have to say the organisers were correct in their choice. Secondly, the funds are limited for signing the acts you "expect" to appear. They have approximately £2m to spread across ALL the acts for Glasto, it simply isnt feasible to expect all these great acts to turn up and play for peanuts. Lastly, Glasto is not, and has never been a pure music festival. If you want something like that then get off you ****ing sofa and go to Reading or V, glasto is about much more than the music, probably something that doesnt come across on your flatscreen.

Just got back too, will post my thoughts more completely later,but oh my god, jamie t!!!!! god like!!

This is the most important and sensible suggestion (one i always forget as i dont live in a cabled area). If you want to bypass any copper issues on your line, then use Virgins lovely fibre

old enough to know better...

Everyones entitled to their own opinion, but not if its wrong, and yours is. (joke)

I suspect, just like my skills, they're worth nothing in the real world.

It's always a combination of a) your distance and b) your line attenuation (quality of line). The first thing you should do is locate your houses master BT socket (itll be the only one that's not square, ill have an additional small rectangle piece of plastic on the bottom), take off the face plate, disconnect the internal house wiring to the point, then plug your modem into the master socket directly behind the faceplate. Reboot your router then check your speed. When I first got ADSL2+ I was getting 5.5mb, I did the above steps, I now get 12mb, the internal wiring was bleeding static onto the line.

Minty. Those line checkers are bogus. They work by calculating the distance from postcode to exchange as the crow flies. In actuality, it's always far more than that, since the pstn cabling laid down never goes direct to the exchange and could by all illogical reason go completely around town before arriving at his exchange. The only real way to know is to get a BT engineer our to test the line to get them to perform a complete line test their end, they should do this for free.

You can get Be Broadband. They are TRUELY uncapped (ive done over 1TB in a month), and they have an ADSL2+ connection to your home, that said, if the copper wire distance/quality is still ****, it wont matter.

If the issue is the connection to the exchange then you can go with whoever you want mate, it wont make a blind bit of difference.

mls, major league soccer

Infraction?

no offence, but any man who writes about games and thinks that Street Fighter IV is the best game of all time isn't going to attract me as a reader

If he did, there's no way they would use up the schumy exclusive all in one show, they would show that on another episode

bbwwwaahhaaha oh my god, that's awful

Itunes would prompt for an update as soon as it was launched AND also if you attach an os3 iPhone to it, whether he's turned off notification of updates off or not.

Is this a joke? If not, of course not.

mike: "are you at glastonbury next week?" baj: "yes mate" mike: "so you're not coming to football?" baj: "no, im at glastonbury, that was your first question."
