You'd think with all that money they make they'd at least afford a change of clothes

Personal rant alert!
That link to the photos on the BBC website says the photographer was called Matt Shepard, from BBC Cornwall - he was my "mentor" when I was the BBC Blast reporter for Cornwall last summer (something I did as part of a mandatory work experience module for college). I said to him on a number of occasions how much I adore Oasis. Then the Eden gig was announced, and I immediately said to him how I would do anything to make a report and/or photograph the event for BBC Cornwall, and he said he'd try his best to sort something out.
This guy nearly made me fail my college course by not bothering to fill in and post the forms I needed to pass the module despite me sending him constant, polite reminders for him to do so, by email and post. He never answered his phone. At the end of each reminder I asked if there was any update on the BBC's coverage of the Eden gig and repeated that I desperately wanted to be a part of it.
I'm extremely pissed off. I’m a far superior photographer to him and demonstrated this fact for him many times over the course of my placement.
Sorry, had to get that off my chest!
