If it makes a difference- M and I aren't planning to go to the festival*, but will happily put you, Dolby and Roscoe (or any permutation thereof...) up before and/or afterwards... *refrains from commenting on the long-term damage likely to be caused by inflicting Neil Young on little 'uns, for fear of being beaten to death by a pack of angry Neil Young fans!

(Watch this space as the rest of the day's line-up turns out to be my favourite bands...!) I realise I'm very much in the minority here, so feel free to pelt me with Neil Young LPs and rotten fruit!

I don't think the festival's based around him - he's just the only headline act to be announced so far. The main gist of the festival is a kind of No Sponsorship/No Branding thing. It's only a one-day affair too.

stop pouting mrs huggett, swallow your pride and come to neil young, the last train back is something like 10.30 so you could engineer it to miss neil young, have a seat on the train and know that you will be getting home (fuck i sound chirpy)

....sell things on ebay! it is a fun thing to do!

I'm dubious about the benefits of Ebay, partly from all the trouble Emma had buying & selling stuff when I was seeing her. Seemed like a lot of hassle, whether as a buyer or a seller! Are you offloading bay stuff then, Paula? I'm intending on using Ebay to pick up the Germany-only dvd release of Michael Winterbottom's 'I Want You' for a fiver off a buy-now specialist Continental dvd shop, however, so I'll see how breaking my Ebay virginity goes soon...

So far, I've had nothing but positive experiences of buying on ebay (I've not tried selling). I've picked up loads of stuff at great prices

paula i'm with you. i sold a load of books a couple of months ago, listing items is boring but watching the countdown (and making some money from old crap) is fun.

Post by mooominmama on Jul 12, 2008 17:42:45 GMT 1
yep listing stuff is pretty tedious really... havent made much money yet... but its exciting when something sells, especially when its a bit of old crap thats sitting on yr shelf for years that you dont want... one mans junk and all that...
