tonight's radiohead crowd
Was it just me, or was the crowd at victoria park tonight comprised almost entirely of the most irritating and idiotic brand of self-regarding london wanker? There seemed to be waaaaaay more snotty and annoying behaviour than I would have expected: groups of 4 or 5 people elbowing their way towards the front halfway into the set, talking all the way through songs, barely bothering to applaud or just generally twatting about without regard for anyone around them... I know this is kind of par for the course, but it seemed way more noticeable tonight than at any other gig or festival i've ever been to.
Maybe I'm being a grumbly old curmudgeon (I did actually really enjoy the gig despite the above), but the fact that this delightful young lady:

wandered past at one point, screeching and tottering maniacally, and that there was a bit of a scramble for people to get a picture of her, might say something.
