I hate 'these days'...
It's not just the tents... There's gallons of booze and tons of food left behind when the crowds clear-off... At one point last year we were bringing in food and beer by the wheelbarrowload to our encampment post-event... One of the crew was pissed out of his nut sat atop a pile of Strongbow like a jakey Smaug...

A friend with a transit was working up at Leeds festival a few years ago and came back with it full of abandoned booze, kept their house in drink for a good six months or so. Tons of other loot too. From mates that do stewarding or other festival work apparently V-fests are the worst/best for people abandoning stuff - tends to be prickish ladrock bands at that one so kind of fits.

Oh god this is painful http://www.theguardian.com/culture/video/2014/jun/18/sonar-festival-barcelona-24-hour-party-video
What a waste too, I'm pretty sure that if someone gave me a Guardian expenses account, a camera and a trip to Barcelona I and a lot of people I can think of could make something a lot more entertaining.

That entire post, and perhaps particularly the last bit with the jakey Smaug atop a pile of Strongbow sounds as though it should be the beginning of some really long and wonderful story.
Perhaps Tolkien-y, or perhaps Lewis Carroll-ishly. Or maybe Iain Banks. Or maybe one of those old traditional ballads wherein our narrator enters the world of Faerie and has weird experiences the like of which no-one will believe. Thomas the Rhymer sort of thing.

No.
Give me a namecheck when you win your Nobel and Booker and all those things.heheh yeah
Oh, I've just realised - a Smaug atop a load of cider would be a dragon on a flagon... oh heck. If I become obsessed with this not-existing epic, I will blame you.

Looks like the Guardian is backing Millibands benefit reforms and wants to go further
who is the leader writer these days?

How do 'hipsters' afford to live in east London?
At least the trustafarians around RTS, etc put their money where their mouth was.
Hipster isn't really a thing. As such. It's just young-ish trendy folk. I mean, half of Brixton going by Urban 75 criteria, that's you lot that moved there BTW, could be called hiptsters by the same token 20 years ago. Hate not the hipster.. Well just alittle bit, the cup cake artisan beardy ones, obviously. But mostly they're just as fucked over as the rest of us.
OTOH, maybe I just don't cross paths with the real annoying ones.

Really such a definite lifestyle, yet no one can seemingly agree what it is? Is it just a sinanim for Yuppies? If so OK. But, that doesn't include a lot of hipsters. A lot of them haven't actually got that much money.
I didn't read the Guardian article BTW< just arguing the toss.
