    You got p!ssed on, in a field, listening to an ever-declining standard of rock music (now so bad they're getting rappers in to headline) for three whole days, you are now hungover, possibly on a comedown, dirty, wet, and have probably been robbed.

    Lie to me ... tell me it wasn't sh!t?

    I'm in my thirties now, and have a family, but back in the day I was slim, good-looking, full of booze, drugs and optimism, and it still rained, and therefore it was sh!t* ... so I'll see right through your lies ;)

    *And we had The fcuking Cure headline, not Beyonce's other half!!!

    I wasn't at Oxegen either, but you Sir sound like a jealous :mad:. It's not the fault of 20-year-olds that they are 20, just like it wasn't your fault that you were 20 when you were 20. I'm sure the 30-year-olds of your day made fun of the music you listened to also.

    Whether or not people actually enjoyed it they will tell you they had a great time simply because the weekend costs so much. When someone invests a lot of time and/or money into something they will convince themselves it was good even if it wasn't.

    Whats the story with a guard getting knocked down last night ?
    It sounded like someone left early and drove through a checkpoint and floored a guarda.
    Stupid cnut ,ruining it for everyone.

    You talk as if this is a statistical anomaly. **** happens every year.

    I think if you're of undergraduate age (i.e. under 22), it would be good fun. Although I can think of much better ways to spend €300. The baldy, youth-obsessed 30 year-olds who haven't grown up and are still living in indebted consumer lah-lah land are the ones I feel sorry for.

    I was 28 at last years Oxegen and I genuinely had a great weekend. I didn't go this year thank god!! That rain put a shiver down my spine every time Oxegen entered my mind this weekend, there'll be lots of GP visits and sick puppies this week. But, my plan is, if I'm still alive and if there's a few that take my interest on the line-up next year, and any hope of good weather, I think I might brave it once more, for good measure....I'll be 30!! :eek:

    You do realise that rain or water in general doesn't make you sick, right?

    Hey, I told you I was in my thirties - don't mean I've got red, angry face - waiting for my forties for that.

    Kinda wish I was jealous, but I'm not. i think youth is all a big trick, tbh. i went to pearl Jam a few weeks ago, had some beer, got a taxi home, took the following morning off, played Ten to my 8 month old the following morning while dancing around with him, kissed my wife, then went to work.

    If there was a secret to being young, I missed it. Thing is - i stopped looking for it too. And tonight I'm dry, and my balls don't smell of muck :)

    It annoys me when people criticise the standard of music at this year's Oxegen.

    Arcade Fire were there for God's sake. They are so full of win that the lead singer's name is Win Butler.

    I know dozens of people who were at oxygen last year.

    Kids like getting sick on themselves ,that wears off after a while.

    :mad: that. Festivals are the kinda thing that you're either into or you're not. If you're "into" them at 20, 22, 25, then you'll be into them at 40, 42, 45. If you can't be arsed at 22, you won't be arsed at 23, 24, 25 .... 35. You either like them or you don't.

    It's true what you say there, Older people allways forget about the things they did when they were young and critasise what young people do when they get older leave the young people alone and let them have fun we only live once from an older member:D:D:D

    I'll go out on a limb and say you are in the first age bracket you mentioned there?
