How to have a Fucking Superb Thursday
Ingredients : Sarah, Brn, Dara Byrne, Sean Beatty, Jane, E.Welly, Ron, Ollie, Eamon, Hellena, Bones, me, Bar (Bro), poppa, 26000 others, Radiohead and a large area of grass.
Instructions: Stand infront of Radiohead with everyone else in complete Awe at their amazing performance of 24 of their best tracks.
the visuals were amazing, the sound was immaculate the crowd were great and the setlist was above all expectation. Beck played support and had a very funny puppet show. Highlight tracks for me were Climbing up walls, Idioteque, There There and The Gloaming but it was Paranoid Android that stole the show and was possibly the most spectacular song i have ever seen performed live. A Fabulous group of true artists!
tonight we go back to the same large piece of grass to watch Daft Punk.....

show me the way to go home...
the intended journey :
leave montpellier at 4:15pm. travell by train to marseille arriving at 6:00pm. take a bus from marseille train station to the marseille airport and check in at 6:30pm for the flight that was leaving at 8:40pm. Simple!
what happened to Sarah, Bones and myself (the JOURNEY) :
arrived at the train station and there was nothing on the boards, bad start ! something is up. Ask a french train station guy, "whats going on?". our french not brilliant and is english is at the same poor level but we soon realise that there has been a train accident [turns out a herd or shoul or flock of donkeys got on the tracks and the train killed a few of them basically a big train-donkey mess] and we need to get a bus to Nimmes(somewhere between montpellier and marseille).
we find the bus station and then the bus' path to the motorway is blocked by an overturned truck. get to Nimmes after an hour and 15 mins.
we are late and the train there is delayed by a further 45 mins. the train is a slow fucker and we get to marseille station at 8pm. flight leaves at 8:40pm. we are fucked.
get in a taxi and arrive at the airport at 8:15pm the taxi driver was mentally fast. nobody at the checkin desk and the security wont let us through with our tickets we must have a boarding card or a ryanair cunt. we had neither! the security girl walked down to the departure lounge to our gate and asked a ryanair cock jockey to come up to the security x-ray place and escort us through as we had no bags just carry on. no chance. so we watched the stairs get brought over to the plane and watched everyone board the fucker and then it took off.
Grand well we'll get a different flight. no flights till sunday! it was thursday. we flew to london at 11:30pm arrived at gatwick at 12:50am. arrived at Annas house (sarah's cousin) at 1:45am.
sleep and rest all day friday in Anna's. leave her house saturday got a bus and a tube to the tate modern then another tube to heathrow and arrived home Saturday at 9:50pm.
Sarahs appartment is deadly. her friends are all extremely sound. she is getting on really well over there. her french is great. montpellier is a fantastic city. the rum is delish. the boolongerry is cool real nice pan olay. anna is a saint. she was unbelievably kind. the tate was great. bones and sarah were well cool and fantastic to travell with. i got a bit stressed out but had some visious fun!
