To

to be honest mate last few I have been to the drug culture has died out as EDM has got more popular on general the crowd has changed for example you are just likely to see someone at a hardwell or alesso or tiesto gig wearing a I love one direction t shirt these days sadly.
It's why I personally have started looking away from the big festivals and attending the more underground ones or the ones where artists are performing alone.
For example people attend tomorrowland these days for social status. Or because they have seen it on YouTube and think it looks cool they don't do it for the love of the music anymore.

For example recently I went to see tiesto live it was full of teenage girls that were loving life when he was playing his new cheesier stuff like "Wasted" but they didn't have a clue and looked scared when "Adagio for strings" or "traffic" or "lethal industry" was dropped.

Some events for sure are worse than others
Global gathering is by far the worst one for drugs they are everywhere. Creamfields has got a lot better!.
Tomorrowland is essentially quite clean have huge security there.
EDC was pretty clean also!

Really? Maybe I'm just so used to seeing them now that I'm just assuming. I'm more into my underground places where it is more about the music and I still see them everywhere. I guess it does depend on where you're at these days. Ibiza has gotten progressively worse with people not going for the music anymore :( anyway, back to Jan. I'd assume he was being a good boy :)

Waiting for someone to bitch about him have a miserable face and poor body shape as he was doing it :)

More like it just goes to show that he can actually look like he's enjoying himself sometimes. Just wish he'd show it when we're paying him.

Do you look like you're having fun when you're at work?

Most of the time, I think so, yeah.

I get happier the more money I'm paid to do it as well. So if that theoretical position holds, I expect a few more smiles from Jan, if I'm honest.

See that the thing,he has always looked the same when he plays for Belgium, Ajax or here ( and in his first season he made the Prem team of the year). However we seem to have a few body language experts here who can tell that he is not trying, you have to laugh.

Why does one have to be a body language expert to see something a bit different in him from his first season? It's a comparison, that's all.

Does you have to be a body language expert to suggest that Torres doesn't carry himself in the same manner at Chelsea that he did at Liverpool? No. And whilst that's an extreme example, Vertonghen, to me, looked more frustrated last year, both with our performances, but also, I suspect, his own as well. And who could blame him? we were crap at the back last year.

He looked no different then most of our players, not having a go at you but there are some "fans" who have turned against him for his "body language" when in all honesty that is the way he is. As i say you have to laugh at all the so called experts who feel that way.

The issue here might be, that he didn't like he was particularly bothered last season, and this has coincided with him not playing as well as he did when he first joined us.

When coincidentally, he looked far keener.

Might want to change that.

As you say might be, but i doubt it.

...the armpit of the truly vacuous European dance music scene, with thousands of pisshole-eyed, sweaty-vested, cheek-chewing day-glo ravers swarming to rural Flanders to mindlessly womp and woop the weekend away.

Call us old fashioned, but f**k that.

Good read whoateallthepies
