highlights for me:

1)NOFX - awesome songs and easily the best crowd interaction of the weekend without trying too hard like Sum41 etc, the banner was also genius. 3 songs in two minutes, eric melvin on the accordian at the end, playing the end of "the decline", some great gags and impressions by el hefe and a singalong live only anthem about George Bush ("idiot son of an asshole") all contributed to an awesome show by the punk rock legends.

2)Foo Fighters - Everlong followed by fireworks was awesome.

3)Sick of it all - ripped up the concrete jungle stage and had an huge wall of death to the classic "scratch the surface"

4)Weezer - much better than when i saw them at the shepherds bush empire, played "my name is jonas" - good stuff indeed

5)The bottle fight which started before Slipknot - a huge amount of bottles thrown and the second largest bottle fight ive ever seen after the one at Deconstruction 2001

6)Ross Noble - comedian in the comedy tent - very very funny - ripped the piss out of craig david, who, was phoned after a crowd member handed over his mobile number and ended up with a tent full of festival goers leaving a huge "fuck off!" on his voice mail. Good stuff.

7)The skaters/bmxers - some were good, some werent but overrall made for a thrilling break to the bands and some sweet tricks were pulled off.

8)No Use For A Name - rightfully moved up the schedule on the concrete jungle stage; good songs; good show.

9)The Offspring - wasnt expecting much from Dexter and co but had a good set including some old classics ("bad habit" and "self esteem") and had a very good sound throughout. Enjoyable if unremarkable.

10)Face to Face + Bouncing Souls - solid shows from both bands in the Concrete Jungle stage. Nice to see them after an influx of dull emo bands on the stage this year.

11)Ali G - in the film tent - made me laugh!

12)The campsite - camped near alot of cool people, generally got very drunk and stoned and danced around like fools in the early hours.
