June started very wet, but it ended well.
Nigel took a lot of pictures including the one above. Just need to make somewhere for them to go…
These are the pictures I have taken in June:

Radiohead Victoria Park 25th June 2008
Saw Radiohead last night for the 4th time. Bat for Lashes were supporting and were really good.
It was a bit weird at the beginning as it was still light when they came on, and the atmosphere was a bit flat for some reason, but it soon picked up. We seemed to be in the best part of the crowd. It was like 40,000 people standing still and then the hundred or so where we were going mental which was good.
Thom was pretty entertaining too. The crowd were so into it that people weren’t just singing along, they were actually singing the harmonys to some songs. Radiohead fans are pretty sophisticated.
People singing along is one thing. Singing once the band has stopped playing is pretty impressive too, but this crowd was singing once the band had left the stage. 40,000 people singing Karma Police, with no conductor and no instruments is pretty amazing.
Here’s the set list:
01 Reckoner
02 15 Step
03 There There
04 All I Need
05 Lucky
06 Nude
07 Arpeggi
08 Myxomatosis
09 The National Anthem
10 Faust Arp
11 No Surprises
12 Jigsaw Falling Into Place
13 Optimistic
14 Videotape
15 Everything In Its Right Place
16 Idioteque
17 BodysnatchersEncore 1:
18 House of Cards
19 The Bends
20 Bangers ‘n Mash
21 My Iron Lung
22 Karma PoliceEncore 2
23 Go Slowly
24 2+2=5

BMX Track
On a cold and windy day in January me and Pete braved a trip to the East side of Kent. I only just got round to putting up the pictures. The wind didn’t help at the track. In one direction you could go fast but in the other direction you felt like you were a snail.

Changes
The wife told me the guestbook was rubbish, so I brought back the old one.
Also, I made a links page. I went through the old links page and it’s amazing how many sites have died. Most of the sites on the link page now have been around for ages, but the new ones seem to come and go a lot.

A new server
I have just moved to a new server so everything is a little strange. I will be doing little changes here and there and bringing the old stuff over slowly. Let me know if you have any problems…

Freerider 2
Do you remember line rider? Well now there’s Freerider (2 actually), and it’s awesome. Perfect for people who are too lazy to dig, too scared to ride, or adverse to this poor excuse for “summer”. Have fun.
Once you get tired of making your own tracks then have a look at some of these tracks. I just want to see some proper trails. If you build something good then post the track code.Have fun…

Your suggestions needed
Sorry I haven’t updated in so long. I have been sort of working 2 jobs and then doing 2/3 hours a night at the trails too which doesn’t leave a lot of time for this thing.
I am planning on making some changes to the site, as it’s been like this for way too long. I have some ideas myself, but I would really like some suggestions from people who use it (if there is anyone!). Any contributions you make will be greatly appreciated. Tell me what you don’t like, what should be changed, what do you want more of, what do you want less of, draw me a picture, or anything. Thank you!
Oh you can write on the guestbook or email me; ben at scruffian dot com…
