I think the weather's drunk.

Seemingly for the past few weeks it's been in high spirits towards the end of the day, only to wake up with a stinking hangover and acting like a bear with a sore head.

With this in mind, I think we need to offer up alcoholic sacrifices at random times of the day - just to make sure that hangover doesn't kick in until the afternoon of the 27th.

I will be very happy to take a hammering in Ireland over the weekend with the bad weather forecast in return for a dry or semi dry glastonbury! Its all about the sacrafical lamb, looking much better now though! happy days :)

About 80 pages ago (or so) someone said that if we beat last year's 165 page thread we'd be OK. Someone else thought 200 would do it. I didn't think we'd get there but, look! It's gonna be easy. Sun, sun, sun all the muddafuggin' way! Well done Efesters! keep posting. If we get to 300 I'm pretty sure it'll be an absolute dream!

(Sorry, I would like to return to weather debate, but this is interesting, and I can't see a practical way to fork it into another thread)

I hate this. Mary Whitehouse was indeed a small minded prude, who dismissed genuine art as "smut" or "filth" and called to have it banned.

I do not want to be tarred with the same brush as that woman, as I have been on this forum, when I object to a man boasting about hitting women to keep them obedient (albeit in the guise of a fictional persona, but a fictional persona you're expected to admire and identify with).

I do not want to be tarred with the same brush as that woman, if I say that this conversation about weather is probably not an appropriate place to share soft porn, even if it's soft porn presented in an ironic manner as part of a running joke.

And I say that as someone who *enjoys* soft porn; and less soft porn. I enjoyed many of those photos of German girls, but I can still see that here is not the place for it (nor is the third page of a national newspaper the place for it).

Indeed, the fact that some of those photos gave me so much pleasure *demonstrates* that it wasn't just a joke. For many red blooded males, it would have been impossible to laugh at the joke, without also skipping a couple of heartbeats and thinking "I'd really, really love to bury my face between those tits".

There's a time and a place. I know some great jokes about paedophilia. I wouldn't choose this forum as a place to share them.

    • No worries, it's a perfectly fair question to ask. I would expect people to be talking at the back & near the bars & that is where I would want them to be talking. If your group are enjoying yourselves & the music & briefly chatting to say how much you are loving a certain song etc, you would be an ideal group to stand behind.   My issue is with people having full blown conversations (usually unrelated what is on the stage) whilst being surrounded by people who are trying to listen to the music. This was happening in the middle and towards the front of all stages, & so you have limited options to move around & you may have spent 20 minutes waiting for the band trying to get the closest position that you can. If there's a group of 8 people, there may be 2 or 3 that like the band & the rest will start talking if the music isn't their thing. This may be the norm now for festivals, and if it is, that's ok & I will focus on a band's own gigs & UK based new music festivals.    I'm also not including consequences of my own decision making. I saw Geese on Wednesday so went to Occident after Men I Trust finished so it was understandable there would be chatting that far back. Similarly, getting to The XX after Olivia Rodrigo along with most of the site, I knew my chance of a good spot & a chat-free zone had gone so that was completely reasonable.   PS. I went to Bilbao BBK in 2023 & 2025 & enjoyed it. For Pulp & Kylie in 2025, I got a position early & was surrounded by a respectful & fun crowd for both. The UK non-headlining bands tend to go on the undercover 3rd stage, & most people like to congregate outside so you can usually get close to the front of that stage.   
    • Interview on 6 music earlier, was going to get the album to have a listen, but comes out the day they play the festival 
    • Additional dates added already    
    • I feel like it's not COMPLETELY beyond the realm of possibility that they could headline but I just don't see it.    They're not doing anything other than headlining. So nah, I don't see it.
    • Consider that the sound quality can be better near the front bars right behind the soundbooth rather than closer to the stage, like with mbv. And of course, the front sections are full of talkers too.   The most courteous move would be to have conversations in the very back of the field.
