There are things in life that simply aren't right

Not been to Rock City for a few years, Big Country on Stuart Adamson's farewell tour was my last visit, so a welcome night out to see the fantastic Editors on Thursday. Watching them basically blowing out a packed sold-out Rock City made me wonder about things that aren't right in the world.

For example:

Why is Gary Megson STILL in football management, despite being sacked from pretty much every job he's ever had ?

Why do people STILL watch X-Factor despite the fact that even a gibbering idiot would realise it's all a con, stories manipulated by the producers to maximise the phone-call revenue from viewers too f***ing stupid to put both hands on their a**e without a map, yet can still press numbers in the right order to give even more of their short supply of hard-earned cash to someone who clearly doesn't need any more ?

And if Editors are playing at Rock City, how do Snow Patrol sell out huge arenas when all they do is basically re-hash the same droning voice / guitar crescendo on EVERY SINGLE song ?

Some actual footage from someone slightly closer to the action than my old bones would allow, which leads to another question, are mobile phone cameras at gigs the new cigarette lighter ? Mmmmmmmmm ......
