What a lovely collection of fine human beings. In other news there are an awful lot of twats in the world.

U2 were predictably great; 'Where The Streets Have No Name' live made my evening. Unfortunately we appeared to have accidentally been assigned seating in the 'boring bastard central' section, as opposed to the 'people who paid 60 quid to actually enjoy the flaming gig' section. We stood up to dance around like nobbers and generally enjoy the music, like 90% of the fellow gig-goers, and were asked to sit down by people who clearly bought tickets with the intention of spending 3 hours with a face like Lenin's corpse.

Having been moved to standing by a sympathetic steward (who was as bemused as we were by the situation), I glanced up at the end of the gig, when the entire stadium was standing and cheering, to our place on the top tier and lo and behold the sour-faced bunch of twunts were still sitting and looking miserable as sin. In their defence did spy them finally using their inherent gift of human balance; they stood up to leave.

Currently impressed by: U2 live.
Currently non-plussed by: Serious hayfever.
Current urge: Get a good(ish) night's sleep.
