We've just wandered around 'Tomorrow's World' or whatever it's called in Preston Park

It's fairly sparsely populated in terms of punters.
And absolutely no sign of Raymond Baxter.
We could hear and see 'Suede' (l think) from behind the fence.
It reminded me a the 'Extras' Bowie episode - it's the literally same piece of grass.

We drove by around 1.30, and it was dead.

£55 for a day ticket for adult, might be the reason..

And the uninspiring line up

What on earth does 'it's the literally same piece of grass' mean?

 

[kevo]

Great picture.

 

[darkwolf666]

Great picture.

Is anything in focus?

 

[Dirk Lehmann's Python]

Paul Barber set the pricing? Absolutely scandalous

 

[herecomesaregular]

Small crowd, yes, overpriced, yes, really enjoyable, yes. Seratones, Peter Hook's Joy Division /New Order set, Suede all excellent. Also a surprisingly tasty large vegan doner kebab for £6 and decent craft ale for £4.50. Work still to do but hope the event continues.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Never have liked Suede. Some of the others look OK.

A 'merry' Weller offering his views.

Maybe you should become a photographer.

It's a bloody sight better than your 'journalism'

Agree with all that. Really enjoyed it - bought early bird weekend tickets a while ago (£45 for both days, not that bad really). And this is a picture of last night, taken by someone who knows how to use a camera.

You're not fooling me. All you've done is taken the picture from the opening post and rotated it.

Also agree with that. A big improvement on last year's event. A much nicer layout, once good food and beer available. Most importantly the musicians were superb. Suede were surprsingly bloody brilliant, Brian Wilson and the Jardines made everyone forget the rain on saturday night, despite not being sing Hooky delivered the Joy Division/New Order goods in fine style. Of the local bands on show I was very impressed with Frankie Furlow, Atlas Wynd and MarthaGunn. A lot of good stuff on show.

I paid £99 and fees for the weekend after the Brian Wilson announcement which in my opinion was overpriced. If the organisers want this event to continue they will have to do better on the pricing, a two day event should really be no more than £60-£70. I hope they can keep it going as it was a very enjoyable weekend, i think they are pricing many people out though.

Someones then got to train him to flip a photo 90 degrees. I think "journalist" is more useful as someone could use his posts for a "count the Grammatical errors" competition. He managed 6 in 2 short sentences a few weeks back and for me to spot that many is saying something.

i mean "fairly sparsely populated " is entering Alan Partrige country.

Which was the point I finally (I guess later than everybody else) realised that Timmy's HB&B persona is just a spoof account, nothing more nothing less.

Quite why he still gets 'fed' by the rest of NSC is beyond me.

Some stunning images on that photoblog

Has anyone really been far as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

If you've ever met him you'd realise it isn't a spoof account although he does readily admit he posts stuff deliberately to wind people up, why people bite though is beyond me. His constant desire to get a rise out of people is a bit sad if you ask me, he could take a day off once in a while.
