I am still shattered despite having had three nights sleep after Download’s bumpy floor. The weather is a bit different too! Why could it have not been a bit cooler there? Oh well, it was still brilliant so I don’t care now. My poor, sore, burnt forehead is starting to peel, which is not great but i will cope. I have finally picked out and resized the 47 photos that I think represent the best of my download festival, they are all linked at the bottom of this post.

A few things I forgot… Katie talking about not having been able to shave her bits for five days was defined as having ‘a fanny like Desperate Dan’. We also did a poo count, if you will excuse the expression. You know how it works, the toilets look like hell and smell like giant haystacks thong after twenty rounds of wrestling and three chicken bhunas, so you hold it in. Well other people do lol, I dont care! We worked out between 12 of us we had been and moved dirt just 18 times over the weekend. For the statisticians amongst you it worked out as a total of 57 days spent on site between us, we had an average of three dumps each. Then again, Giles and I were on five or six each so we distorted it! Enough of that though, one thing I had left out was that it was suggested for some bizarre reason that Mr David Matthews would probably enjoy shagging a shaved bumblebee. I cannot remember why.

On the radio they have been discussing the use of assemblies at school. Do you remember, like I do, sitting on the floor of the hall, singing hymns such as ‘Oil In My Lamp’ and ‘Keep Me Travelling Along With You’? The point they were making was that it is an actual law which requires ‘moderate religious group services’ every morning in a school. Good idea or bad? Well the twenty minutes without a lesson is always good, but more importantly is the ability to push an amount of religion into the lives of the kids in the school. Nothing specifically christian or jewish etc, but placing the idea in their heads.

I have purchased a new book. Doomsday, 50 Visions Of The End Of The World. A cheerful volume i think you will agree but very interesting. It lists the various ways in which the world could cease to exist, or at least the human race could end. It covers everything from plague to nuclear accident to famine to Terry Wogan’s wig cutting off the sunlight to most of the earth’s surface. Hehe. In one place it does touch on something close to my heart, Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle, the idea that merely looking at something can affect the outcome of a situation (usually with regard to quantum physics, where by looking at where an electron is means it will be there, but it may actually be in a totally different place if you had not bothered having a butchers in the first place).

I have been spending a lot of time with Lemony and am pleased to say we are now going out. I went for a curry with Angel last night then we met Lemony in Dominion. They ganged up on me which was, lovely .
