Stupid young people, sleeping on the freezing streets in order to get tickets for a thoroughly awful time. Not the brightest kids on the block.

#5 Reckless: Aye, they should all have proper haircuts and jobs and stuff.
Who do they think they are? Off enjoying themselves like young people with no regard for crabbit old gits who really should get out more.
When I was their age etc. Get a grip farty.

I wish I could go but I know my limits. The John Lewis Soft Furnishings Tent at Glastonbury maybe. :o)
