Samsung took a load of UK journos to Korea to look at their new kit and eat some rather nice Korean food (think Chinese, but smaller dishes). Not sure about the pickled stuff though...

Capello: This guy could hardly speak a word of English last December

Pretty darn incredible

Graduate hat throwing could hurt

"University administrators were accused yesterday of overreacting after asking students not to throw mortarboards in the air at this year's graduation ceremonies. Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge and Chelmsford warned that the medieval-style cap could be a health hazard."

 
From the university's website:
"It is requested that graduands do not throw the hat up into the air, as this not only causes damage to the hats, but can also cause injury if the corner of the hat hits the graduand or others who may be nearby."
 
YEAH!

"I think the British music industry and the BBC really have to look at this and see how they can avoid this yearly debacle. At the very beginning of the year I said Russia would win for political reasons and they did."

Great fun was had by all - especially on the trampoline. Quite how the 72 pint barrel of Doom Bar disappeared so fast I'll never know...

Buy a pitched tent with your ticket
Leave your own tent at home and buy a Get A Tent ticket which includes a pitched tent. You also get free access to hot showers.

Get A Tent is Roskilde Festival's exclusive offer to the festival-goers who do not want to bring their own tent. With a Get A Tent ticket you just have to arrive, and then the tent is pitched and ready for you.

Basic or Deluxe
You can buy two different types of Get A Tent tickets.

  • With Basic you get access to the festival, hot showers for one person and a tent in the size 210 x 210 cm.
  • With Deluxe you get access to the festival, hot showers for two persons and a tent in the size 440 x 220 cm.
In 2008 we are selling 1000 Basic tickets and 500 Deluxe tickets.

New location
Get A Tent and caravan camping are moving to a new location. The festival tents are pitched just east of entrance East so you are close to the festival's many offers.
