However, at Glasto, I was rejoicing to the wonder that was The Flaming Lips at the time The Coral were playing The Other Stage. Same went for the Furrys Vs Radiohead. The fact that I saw The Zutons made up for me missing The Coral.. I think they're much better anyway. Cheers, Stu Peter John Burnand wrote: Did you get to see The Coral, Stu? They're normally ace live I think but not sure how they'd come over in a festival setting. Looking forward to their second lp. There's a track 'Milkwood Blues' (re. 'Under Milkwood') which sounds interesting - --------------------------------- Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Some sorta drink, I > gather? Sounds weird. Scrumpy is a subset of hard apple cider. I'm completely paranoid about my email at work, so I've deleted the mail, but Matt sent me a couple of links on the bbc.co.uk website that explain it. In short -- it's hard apple cider made from more-or-less whole apples (not just fermenting apple juice) and usually left unfiltered, meaning it's cloudy and not clear. It also is *never* fizzy. It's unavailable here in the US, and only regionally available in the UK. I also found a website called "Scrumpy 'n' Western" that made me ROTFLMAO, because it's dedicated to Somerset (West Country) culture or lack thereof ;-) and features a couple of cartoon characters wearing dungarees and no shoes, as well as some novelty songs. You ought to know that Rob Roy is a Scottish phrase, and therefore is gonna have Scotch in it, but the recipe from barmeister.com looks *awful*: Rob Roy - 1 oz Scotch Whisky - 1 oz Italian Vermouth - 2 dash(es) Gum Syrup However, barmeister.com offers a cocktail-of-the-week email on Fridays so you can try a new one each week! :-P What the hell's GUM Syrup? Surely not eucalyptus. (Australian gum tree) Yours in OTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTOTO -- it's not "Kansas" anymore!

I always see them in the balcony! Their lights blind you down front...and are worth the money alone. You have to see them from the balcony, or from far back to have the full effect of their shows. So...it's not always about getting your ribs cracked. I've found many a band much more pleasant from farther back. And yes, there have been many times I've not seen the Bunnymen from down front either! Cox I just don't always feel in the 'down front' mood! Does that make me a weenie? Oh well if it does.

When they crushed the apples no sugar or yeast was added and the mash was allowed to ferment naturally. However the pips of the apples produce minute traces of cyanide when fermented, and over a period of years of heavy drinking, the combined affects of this can damage eyesight...

Speaking of drinks: had some sh1t called a "Rob Roy" last week. Most foul crap I've ever had in my mouth. And that's saying something. My recommendation: avoid like plague.
