V Festival Chelmsford 2014 - Day 2

Aaaaaaarrrgggghhhh


After spending yonks'  putting the last part of this year’s V-Festival BlackLOG together I went to publish it

Pmmph

The blogging equivalent of a spark, a loud bang, a puff of smoke and an acrid burning smell when you plug your favourite electronic device into the mains….

This was followed by a stunned silence interrupted by occasional bursts of swearing (Think the opening scenes of 4 Weddings and a Funeral, without the alarm clock or mad driving scene )…don’t worry Mrs B was not in the house and I was beyond listening, so no sensitive ears were perverted in the depth of my despair… I sensibly didn’t kick the cats, they would just look disapprovingly at me and then go and crap in my shoes…..

So the master piece I crafted together is lost forever – the full story of the day never to be heard.

You will never know how we were kidnapped and forced to watch the Basement Jaxx or about our daring escape

Instead I have re-load the pictures and will let them tell the story. The blogging equivalent of  a silent movie, with a few shaky cards held up to help the hard of understanding. For the best results try and imagine a piano playing in your head by some mad tone deaf old biddy….

The Saturdays - Main stage

"Bad Mood"
Apt for Mrs B
Hands up if you like the Vaccines...

No That's not Mrs B...

Maximo Park

"National Health"
You might need it to treat the ringing in your ears

Kelly Jones

Looking at the evidence of similar paint
this is either another friend of Charlotte's
or a stalker....

Basement Jaxx - Arena Tent

We were tired and wanted to go home to bed.... we ran into some people who had other ideas....
Mrs B shaking her Basement Jaxx
What ever the hell they are????


Emma - who may have attempted to kidnap us and

Emma's husband and possible accomplice....
