Ok... got back yesterday afternoon and spent most of yesterday catching up on sleep and doing laundry (muds is actually easier to clean off than the fecking dust). Without responding to all the things raised by others I'll pick up on a few points.
I'm 38 and have been to TITP for a number of years, but this was the first time I actually camped out as previously did the commute daily back and forward from Bonnybridge (clean bed and warm showers!), but living back in Paisley we decided this time to go camping. The campsite is not for the faint hearted and yeah there are a good number of idiots there, but more so the 30 somethings than youngsters in my experience. We'd ended up camped next to a group of about 10 guys from Killie, all between 17-20 and they were great, noisy and partied all night but did no damage. The biggest problem were the adult with disposable incomes who behaved like twats and wrecked tents, or set fire to them on the Monday etc. For anyone taking a phone, or anything of any value, there were on site lockers (with charging points) which are great to avoid getting stuff nicked. The booze is over priced, but we did several early runs back and forward to the car and Sainsbury's in Kinross to top up, and did a fair bit of drinking in the camp site between bands... next year we will be better prepped at smuggling drinks into the main site!
On the music side I get some of the comments about Calvin Harris, I was pissed off as it wasn't flagged as a DJ set (had been in previous years) and was a bit of a let down for me. However I would argue about Chase n Status, and Labrinth, Disclosure, and Rudimental, as I saw all of them over the weekend and they all "played" live, and yeah for some bits that means elements of pre-recorded loops and drums, but much like rock and indie gigs it's as much about being part of the communal experience of being around others who enjoy the music. For the "dance" acts (the latter 3) I saw in Kig Tuts tent the audience was really well mixed in terms of ages ranging from the young kids of 30 somethings, upto and including folks in their 40s n 50s. Highlights for the weekend for me was Miles Kane, looking forward to seeing him in September again.
We'd a great weekend and will definitely be back next year

That clearly a lie...you never happily pay £1 for anything, never mind £50

Both of the older generations could have easily been widowed, and the daughters' mothers and father could have had a strong and positive impact on their respective child that each now feels comfortable talking about relationships to her mother.

On paper a good signing, comfortable with the ball at feet, hits a good free-kick... but comes with an alleged attitude issue, and has always looked out of condition (but to be fair never seemed to stop him beating a man)... all the plus and negative points of Carey and Imrie wrapped into 1 person!

I was excited about the prospect when Carey returned 2 years ago, however for me he has disappointed hugely. We've only seen fleeting glimpses of the player we expected, however not often enough in my book, and for all we expected about his set-piece delivery it's been really poor.
For me Lennon is partly culpable in not being able to get more from him consistently, but the majority of the blame lies with the player himself...6 months to get fit and lose the weight was an absolute joke.

Or a "Ginger hair is now acceptable" ditty for Samson and Newton

Keeping it nice and simple ... if they pay the bill for hire of the room on time and do not interfere, or make attempts to interfere, with the club, then I've got no issue with anyone (barring anyone promoting a hate agenda) renting the facilities at Greenhill Road.

McAusland was man of the match for me. He did everything right, and had the balls to venture down to the byline to set up the third at 2-1, when he could easily have just sat back. A St. Mirren fan set up the winner, and a St. Mirren fan scored it. Woke up this morning and my hangover disappeared as soon as i remembered yesterdays heroics from our beloved team. Never been prouder to be a buddie.
