Haven't seen Lit Up live in a while, yeah, would be great. Zero chance at a festival tho, would have to be a proper show.

Bit random but does anyone want some small men's National tshirts? All in good condition, just don't fit me any more. Having a clear out but don't really want to just get rid of these..I'll take photos if there's and slight interest

Fuck off with your lack of middle aged belly spreads you twats. 

Small? I hate you all. 

If it is any consolation I am at least XL. Can't find any Black Grape - Its great when you're straight t shirts to fit me :-(

It's not great when you're curved. 

Its more to do with me being lanky. Am an awkward shape for clothes. Extra large can be too baggy, but large are too short.

I look like the bloke rave culture left behind.

Already packaged them up for John sorry!

[Hutchmaster]

Here I need some sort of consolation for being a puny shite!  thanks once again FOY!

I also can't wait to answer questions from my less hip friends such as "Who the fuck are The National?" and "Jesus John I didn't know you liked the horse racing that much?!"

1. I did not like that The National was no longer on the front page of the forum.
2. Since when did The XX get confirmed for Friday?!

It was in an NME article that they'd play before Radiohead. It's assumed to be true because NME had the Emily Eavis interview and confirmed Biffy on Sunday

So we're pretty much assuming they're the Saturday sub now? That's no good for me.

I think so. If it's any difference Foos are probably playing a longer set so timing-wise they'll be a bit earlier than usual subs

Can I ask why? I mean, I'm not loving it either, but is there a specific reason?

Biffy definitely subbing Sheeran which lends favour to the theory that the subs are in the correct order on the poster (so The xx below Radiohead and The National below Foo Fighters). Also I'm pretty sure somebody from NME said that The xx were below Radiohead.

Probably best case scenario for me. Keeps The XX, Justice and The National apart. Unfortunately looking like Flaming Lips are the fall guy though.

I think The Pyramid is a bad place for them. It's a massive field and there'll be lots of casuals about. Down the front should be alright but I think it'll turn out like Beck did last year, a good performance but not perticilarly memorable because the crowd just aren't into it. 

I feel like if they headlined the Other it'd be a smaller but more intense crowd, LCD style. Also it'd be better in the dark.

If it comes down to these vs The Avalanches, I could see myself choosing the latter, which is strange considering I've been on here pleading for the National to play for years. I might just prefer to have a big party than see one of my favourite bands and be disappointed.

[Zoo Music Girl]

Sorry that wasn't clear - I meant why is it no good for CHRLY specifically? An expected clash?

Cheers, just seen your answer!

I'd like to see Avalanches but will obvs be at The National. What's the current consensus on their billing?
