  1. Nice friendly festival. Gets good in the woods stages after the headliners finish. Usually some good new acts in the alcove and the area opposite (formerly solas, not sure what it's called now). Saturday main stage opener, at about 12pm, has become a 'big 90s indie band' slot, which is usually a lot of fun and worth catching. Not sure if it will be the same this year looking at the current line up, although it could be the lightning seeds.

    That is Kelly Jones from the stereophonics new project I think. 

    I've not heard them... but I'm not a fan of the stereophonics. 

    Dull as ditch water

    Everyone will be at Pulp surely.

    Wish they put someone against them for the younger crowd.

    The younger crowd who watch pulp will find out what us in our 40s loved so much about the 90s 

  5. It's a shame that Friday looks great at both the BBC sounds and the main stage, whereas I can't get that excited about either stage on Saturday evening. I think I'll probably make the most of that though and spend Saturday evening away from the stages and see if I can find some other entertainment.

    **edit** If the sun's out then I'll probably be sitting outside the BBC sounds tent listening to Don Letts

    @gfa and I were changing it right up until the day last year. I'll do the same again if I'm going 

    Actually could have been someone else. Anyway, will get onto this when more info comes out

    I'm really curious. Do people on the forum take this approach into real life?

    Like, if you go to a pub and you know there are punters or staff in there that you don't get on with or argue with, do you purposefully sit near them and get involved in their conversations so you can argue the toss on everything?

    Or if you're out in a big group of friends and you know that one of your mates maybe has a mate that you don't like, do you make sure you're standing next to them so you can get involved? Or do you just maybe keep your distance, or make sure that there's a wider conversation to dilute the stuff that annoys you?

    Honestly feels like some people just actively enjoy the argument; either that or the whole concept of "wininng" is more important that actually, you know, enjoying discussing music and festivals and whatever else pops up.

    You can figure out yourselves whether maybe I'm talking about you or not in this.  I'm not going to call out individuals because, quite frankly the list would be too long and I'd get bored before I finished it.

    Rant over.  I've got a meeting about why my reporting isn't reconciling across data sources and at the moment that's going to be more fun than wading through some of this nonsense.

    You're right about winning. The old thread that must never be mentioned again was all about winning the argument. I think everyone lost though.

    To be fair when the opinion is always 'x is shit' whilst offering nothing to the conversation, you can see why people who are genuinely discussing a topic get fed up. 

    Not sure you can really call it bullying, not like anyone's called him a nonce or anything.

    I don't see much genuine discussion here, mainly people losing their shit over somebody else's opinion.

    He's no worse than most 

    This isn't a dig at you @kingbadger
