Magneto Goes to V FestivalSo I got a cab there which was a pretty funny way to go to a festival. The cabbie was a cliche and a complete bore. 4/10We stopped off at some pub outside for a quick loosener. It quickly became apparent there was untold fanny at V Festival. A+ Grade fanny as well. Literally everywhere. The pub had some bizarre refill system going which was weird but still 8/10The queue to get in was MASSIVE but rather than push in like a couple of cunts it became apparent this was because it was the gate the trains in would go to. Went to the next gate along and walked straight in to the sounds of Scooby Snacks blaring from inside. A real chils down the spine moment 8/10We just milled around for a few hours and got pissed and stuff. Nothing really noticable happened till it started pissing down as CAST came on. I watched Cast at V99 and it was monumental. I've never seen a mosh pit like it. The crowd chanted "You scouse barstads" throuhg out as well. Before they came on and lush with a broken arm came bowling through the crowd completely off his face. "Where you going mate?" "Down the fucking front!" Don. Obviously Cast 2011 could not match this but they were better than expected and it was fucking pissing down as well. They all look really old. 7/10 Actually they didn't do Magic Hour 6/10Then off to see the special guests who I had been tipped off were the mighty Enemy. As they came on my mate pulled out a wrap of the shittest MDMA ever which gave the gig a real added groovy vibe. Enemy smashed it from start to finish. Untold hits. The highlight of the festival. Glastonbury, Latitude, that tiny festival Yatesy went too....they would all kill for a gig this big 10/10Unfortunately someone got some poppers after Cast and we got right on the beer and shit MDMA and the rest is a bit of a blurgh until Arctic Monkeys. I do know this though - I watched an entire Plan B set. From start to finish. It was fucking shit 0/10I soon lost all my mates and watched Arctic Monkeys at the back on my own. They were really good and smashed it. I also remember projectile vomiting which really added to the vibe. 8/10I was supposed to sneak into the camping site, stay there and come home in the morning. Having lost my mates and with none of them having their phones on I had no option but to follow the crowd. I soon walked through the whole length of Chelmsford and it became apparent this crowd were not walking to a station or a cab rank of anything. I holed up at a hotel and called a cab and got quoted an hour wait. The same geezer kept turning up doing drop offs. I had the same conversation everytime. "Forty quid to Basildon mate? "45 mate" "No fucking chance" Waited an hour for my cab and ended up paying 45 My mate who did sneak into the camping site updated his Facebook with "Why do people mistake kindness for weakness?" and then with "I have been evicted from the silent disco and V Festival" so it sounds like they had fun Parking was ample throughout. Feel fucking shocking today

I weep inside whenever I see how much southern types spend on cabs.

I weep inside whenever I see how much southern types spend on cabs. It's not a big deal. We're all pretty loaded.

You would be surprised Bradders.
I lost the feeling my legs seconds later as the thrill of being at V became too much.

I know that feeling well mate - the 1 and only time I've had the V experience I spent most of the weekend smashed on Guinness and remains the only time I've met JP. HUGE
Sounds like a cracking (in some parts anyway!) day!
