What a stupid thing to say. Yeah, I paid TWENTY TWO pounds
so they can piss about and enjoy themselves and put on a
substandard show.
Excuse me but *I* bought their fucking music and so did lots
of other people...if we hadn't then they wouldn't even be 
PLAYING these fucking gigs, right? So I do expect more than
an amateur show. Saturday was rubbish, Sunday was ace. It 
shouldn't have been this way. If they don't please their fans
then they won't HAVE fans, just fools like you who defend 
everything they do, because "they have lives you know" and
because they "DON'T do all the things 'normally'".

goodnight
