Morning all, you are right Sheff it is like therapy and as dizzy said above it is nice to come in here to get away from a lot of the horrible people in the real world - we mustn't forget there are lots of lovely people out there in real life too. And you lot are all lovely !

Glad you are feeling better Lucy & hope things get sorted with your son dizzy. I am v tired today work night out last night not in bed until 2 (thankfully not too much to drink) then I have a weekend "cottaging" with some girlfriends up in the wilds where it is most likely going to snow  best buy more wine in case we get snowed in! Missing my boys though said goodbye to them yesterday morning and won't see them until Sunday.

happy Friday everyone xx

cottaging with girls?  never heard of that one before!

Treated myself to thai van food for todays dinner....its lovely but got really busy since making it to number 1 on tripadvisor and getting some publicity from that

Wanted padthai but that would of been a hour and a half wait....luckily i like just about everthing they do so ive gone with the beef panang

How the hell does Pad Thai take an hour and a half?

When I got that from a street vendor in Bangkok, it took less than a minute! Possibly the best 30p I've ever spent, too

Just read a news story about a road accident between a male cyclist and a female driver. And I quote:

"I just remember looking up and her bumper was touching my helmet."

Fucking finbarrtastic!!

Some people pay for that kind of 'accident'!

I'm hoping there's something good on at The Park that night, never seen a headliner there!

That does sound rather good - then a stroll up to Strummerville.

[5co77ie]

stroll? - mountain hike more like

[mr gumby]

That's got me thinking, actually. Don't think I've seen a John Peel headliner either.

That's not even a small hill!!

Where I live I have far steeper on all sides so for me it is a gentle stroll.

[A Guy Called Matt]

Just had a shower and was thinking, I find the shower a great place to think......

I so want to spend my nights at GF at JP, Park and West Holts out of the bigger stages... but would not mind being somewhere like the Glade either.

Trouble is the Eavii will pull a rabbit out the hat and serve me up something Pyramid shaped that I just want to see.

ah ok so my problem is living amongst sand dunes means I'm not prepared for such 'small hills'

[Mr Splodge]

that only happens to me if i have previously quoted a post in that particular thread, but not followed through and posted it.  the site now seems to remember, where as before the update it would have just reset it.

hope that makes sense.

i'd only bother with the JP if there's something i wanted to see.  it's a fairly unexceptional big tent like any other.  the only headline set ive ever seen there was DJ Shadow in 2011, while the masses were getting wet and bored watching U2.

don't think i've ever seen a Park headliner, but i've seen more West Holts headliners than i care to remember, but then the music there is more up my street than the other big stages.

[Mr Splodge]

It does make sense, I dare not quote anyone's post as that stays there as well and you can't delete it.  Just checked and the post I typed this morning was on the forum.

bit frustrating but I am sure I will find a solution or a work around.

you can delete quoted posts, but i've found i have to click under the quoted post box and delete from there, sometimes twice if it just skips back up to the text.  bit frustrating, as you say.

Sand dunes are a totally different ball game - when I used to play football we trained by running  up and down them. Used lots of different muscles to walking up hills.

All what Yeti has said is, I think, spot on.......... it seems a bit more fiddly to quote then delete quotes etc but I think it is cos we are just used to something different.
