CASHLESS
AT ROCKNESS
Was so looking forward to Rockness this year but unfortunately along with 71 others tents some wee jobbie came into our tent whilst we were sleeping and took all the cash we had for the festival. We were gutted until we thought about where we actually were . . . a great festival with a great line up and great mates all around us that helped to make our Rockness 2008 so magical. even without Our cash.

It was amazing. They kept the hype up constantly and the energy was so high. It was definitely one of the best gigs I've ever been to.

presence yet again . .
l was sitting my university finals at the time and so must have been dedicating a massively disproportionate amount of my well-earned procrastination quota to a) watching b) feigning interest or cl staring blankly at Dermot O'Leary. The topic never came up in conversation but for a moment I really had to pensively chew an extra few times on my ciabatta slice to hide the fearful visage that would become my face if it dared to be mentioned. Suffice to say. since this near-disaster l have come to the conclusion that BB is dead and not just because my Dermot has departed. The ‘twists' aren't necessary. the constant promises for a more evil house never seem to come to fruition. the rules are too complicated. there are too many housemates. that no-longer exclusive Geordie narrator has definitely been heard on other programmes and Davina just isn't pregnant anymore. It's just bad. No. it's worse. And I've Jon lost interest. So please can anyone explain why oh why this year we are tortured by it s . all summer?

DREAM LOVER
Re: The Ex Files (604)
I've just read your feature on A Complete History Of My Sexual Failures and felt I had to write. Has this guy been reading Neil Strauss? I’m amazed that so many women wanted to go out with him. I c0u|d understand it if he was an animal between the sheets but he quite clearly isn't. And he's really unattractive. Mind you. I‘m going to see the film.

The whole gig from start to finish was brilliant. We just loved the music. the dance-off and the way all the performers interacted with the crowd.

I thought Estelle was absolutely brilliant. Getting up on stage with her. dancing up close and personal was even better!
What an absolute dickhead. Give me a new man any day. So long as it's not David Cameron. that is.
