true.
But last year, it was SO bad that when the "stippers" where on stage i think there was 10 people (including me and 2 mates) in the tent..
when the beat boxer come on stage they filled the tent..

some thing is wrong there in my eyes.

its a chave fest.

but knowing my luck it will be a good one this year.

decisions decisions...

Such a shame.
I sadly think that USC will only ever just be a Chav event.

Pitty because when I last went (2 years ago) it was an event that when you left all you wanted to do is spank cash on making it go faster..

Oh well, I guess it does not help that time attack was also on at the same time..

Next year they should try to get it on a weekend with out another big event is on..
