The point I was making was that it was Neil who posted that image.

Was it posted in a thread about the weather, or was it in a thread which title clearly shows what the thread is about? We live in a hugely sexist society, and me no less than others am not immune from being effected by it. However, some are able to recognise it for what it is, while others clearly aren't as this thread got to prove.

As I've said, I don't expect perfection. But after two days of people ignoring requests for the sexist posts in this thread to stop, and after a number of complaints about them - including a number of people being driven away from this site because they didn't like that content - then action needed taking for things to be reigned in.

While some might like to drag the argument up again, I suggest that they re-read the thread and note the number of posts from people who have expressed their dislike for the sexism that was being unnecessarily displayed in a weather thread. Hopefully those other people's words might sink in where my own have failed.

"Sexism" :lol:

And still Neil, you're yet to tell us how posting pictures of women in beachwear sexist.

You've dodged and you've dodged the question, you even put a block on my posts once you realised you couldn't actually justify it.

You've EVEN put a warning on my profile, for doing absolutely nothing other than politely arguing a point with you (in the face of some utterly classless personal insults from yourself).

Shameful.

objectifying women IS sexist. I'm able to recognise it for what it is even when I'm guilty of sometimes doing it myself. It's a shame you don't have the same ability to recognise it.

Unlike you, I'm not defending my own actions, even tho my own sexist posts were in a thread where the title made clear what it was - unlike the posts here, which had no place here.

You claim them as "harmless fun" - yet people have posted to say they were offended. How's that the "harmless" thing you believe it is?

pretty soon we'll have the same amount of people expressing their dislike for the non-weather related content being unnecessarily displayed in a weather thread....i'll be first...anyone else care to join me?

I'm not bothered about the weather anymore to be honest.

I'd much rather start a thread lobbying for the people who are having a barney in this thread to meet at the Mexican Wrestling venue. :ph34r:

Right had enough just started a new thread entitled the run up weather thread.

Rules of thread are :-

Weather talk only

No bad language

no inappropriate pictures

Please abide by these rules if you are not happy or would rather play in the playground please use the weather thread from page 165 onwards.

I had a lovely bath, as it was sunny out, by the time I'd eaten a sarnie it was cloudy.

We were talking about high pressure from wednesday and it was sunny, we are arguing and it is cloudy. Can you see the link?

Mr NeilCantStopMe you are doing nothing to improve the image of people who you seek to defend (and indeed probably are) and the arguing is just rubbish, not what people want to read about. Please just stop trying to provoke someone into anger so that you can then show how unreasonable they are.

If we stop arguing, start talking about the weather and thinking positive thoughts the sun will come out again and I can sit in my garden for a bit. That would be lovely.

It is tempting, but this thead may break all kind of records.

As far as the weather is going, it's edgy stuff. Its annoying as it seems kinda 50/50 at the moment as the various weather models are conflicting at the moment. :(

Correlation please :P

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?    
    • Yeah mentioned in the park thread but feel more Woodsies to me
