What an awsome weekend it was at the Live8 gig in Hyde park....
I have never been amongst so many people before, and those who know me will know that I am not good in large gatherings (tend to get very emotional, and nervous)
Total respect for the admin team for putting it all together at such short notice....
The acts were brilliant... The crowd wonderful... Such a good hearted & good humoured day I havent experienced in a long long time....
Jan & I have had 8 phonecalls today saying they saw us/me boppin away to UB40.... and that I had a smile a mile wide on my face....
We made a lot of new friends yesterday, some of which have rung us today to make sure we got home OK, which is a lovely thought, as we had never met before yesterday lunchtime...
If I may say a word of thanks to Reefer... When he found we were still in the park & the tube trains were clocing down, he offered to come into central London, pick us up & take us back to our hotel.... Luckily, we made the very last tube train of the night, and didnt need to call on him... But, thanks for offering mate... We really appreciated the offer...
When they brought out Bill Gates, you could have knocked me down with a feather......I just wish that Kofi Anan(spelling !!) could have been a bit more vocal in his thoughts, but I suppose thats politics....
Hope those of you who watched it on the telly enjoyed it half as much as we did....
I know the more cynical of you will say... What the feck was that all about, but it did bring a lot of attention to the problems of third world debt... As Sir Bob said... "We cant fix everything, but we can at least try to put some things right"!!!
I would also like to thank Jan for getting me through the travelling on the undergound...:k .....It really scares the shit out of me....and I am not joking either... I shake like a feckin jelly at the thought of going on the tube....
Right, rant over... Badger is coming over now to collect Aj's cans, and bring Trophychaps rack over form Big Kevs...
See yawl soon,
a very knackered Rolfy
