If you want to do the gas canister thing you have to do it safely as I mentioned earlier.

Yeah man that sounds like something that is totally possible.

if you read my first post you'd see it was.

Yeah man shouting shit at people, completely flawless. You have totally changed my mind.

so you didn't read it all, I went around, told people what was going on as well as shouting to everyone so everyone stayed well away.

Dude your missing the point, you claimed that you can blow up gas cannisters safely which is clearly not true.

I TOLD PEOPLE THO INNNIT doesn't wash man.

I accept your actions probably reduced the danger, but to claim that putting a bin full of canisters on a fire near hundreds of unpredictable other people is "safe" is complete bullshit.

[jolly wailer]

so was it a riot or an out-of-hand bonfire?

[deano]

Roits in green at some points, like the first post said. Security got pwned sometimes and batons where used, blood was drawn (from security not police i think), ice cream van was rolled over.

Was an interesting scene to observe

I think the word riot is used loosely in this context, rhymes with Reading for a start. Fact of it is the rowdy and pyromaniac nature of Sunday is called festival riots, even if it isn't. Makes it sound more thug innart blard.


If I had my way they'd bring back the old days of Reading ROCK festival before all this bullshit emo wank love appeared pon fi scene.

Bring back Reading 97.

Happens almost every year at Reading. See my "unpopular opinions" post about festivals... Reading is for kids letting loose on their first nights out away from Mum and Dad armed with litres of vodka and, by that point of the festival, pissed off that they haven't managed to get any action like everyone else... steer well fucking clear.

Haha. I've not been to reading since 1993.

Reading is full of stnuc, I've been once in 07 and it was alright but the fucking rich kids who burn their tent because daddy will buy them another one. I heard now people burn other peoples tents
