Sorry to hear it's been a bit hormonal in here, hope everyone has a better evening. Lots of love from me xxxx

Btw, work "stuff" means I'm gonna have to be careful on here from now, so I may not be about as much as before :(

Not really a pisstaker in the mould of:

- my mates.

- my mates on here.

i.e. there's a lack of humility, self-depecation, wit, sarcasm borne of intelligence and genuine intelligence.

So in my book, not a pisstaker. No.

Greeting friends sorry about today, really not been a good day so decided to keep a low profile which really was not a good idea in hindsight.

I should of been on here with happy friendly people.

I should not of let silly people bother me but today has been full of the some on here some locally, I still can't work out why A13,down voted me for trying to be helpful or the other peoples comments. I never usually let these things bother me but they did today. I know life is full of people like that.

Anyway back to the sanctuary of the NFR NFC page and fab people who mean a lot to me.

Sorry if I am waffling and talking utter bollocks.

Love you all.

I posted this elsewhere 'cos of the atmosphere on this site the last few days, but if it weren't for you lot, i wouldn't have gone to the effort.

So i hope you'll forgive me if i re-post it here:

I lurked here for a long time.

I finally decided to post. Mainly because this year is my new-ish wife's first GF. I was and am almost jealous; i've been to plenty. But it was exciting for us both and this was a place to express that excitement twofold.

That was my motivation for 'joining' eFests 'proper'.

Since i've 'joined properly' i've loved these forum threads.

I've only ever previously been a member of one other forum - about a very singular kind of written literature i like - but it shut down...and i was quite gutted, relatively speaking. And this was in the days of the early 'net. I'm nearly 40. But at the time it felt like a weird, new, anonymous home for likeminded people and i loved it.

I didn't need to be my usual unconfident, self-conscious self. I could finally have my say. If i didn't like someone else's reaction to my comments i could ignore it. Scrrrrrrroll downnnnn.

So i lurked here...mainly for info.

I adore music more than any other artform and love the subjectivity and self-confidence it affords me...i can't be 'wrong'!!!!!

Music led me to 'do' GF...and in total go to more GFs alone, and then with my kids, than with mates. An eFests has proved vital for info.

Then I joined for real this year.

And i have made some UTTERLY FANTASTIC 'friends'...but people i hope and partly know when i meet them this year will become friends for real...even if we only keep in touch afterwards in between the rare meet via phone / text / twitter/ FB / here, for reasons of 'real life', work, family, being a grown up, etc.

I know now that i have this site to thank because those people's basic common decency and likemindedness and downright wicked sense of humour shines through a PC / phone screen.

So i love it here.

My point?

I actually got shat on here by someone, it was crap (in solely 'real world' terms), but they apologised and that was good enough for me. We don't communicate on here anymore, but if we bump into each other by some freak occurrence at GF2014 we'll share a laugh and a beer i'm sure. I'll buy the first round.

I did want to fuck this site off as a result, but some fantastic people on here - the lifeblood people of this site, and MANY whose opinions i don't share...encouraged me to stay posting on here because normal idiots like me and mu idiosyncratic opinions about music or otherwise, they said, 'are the lifeblood of this site'.

Fuck, i thought, you don't know me, but that is a small facet of humanism that i thrive on and gives me hope. In many ways, some very personal to me. That instilled a confidence in me i lacked. And i'm grateful for it.

Now? Well...

I dick about on the wonderful NFR NFC thread with our daft nutty 'evangelist' 'belief' in how we alone with our friendly enthusiasm are gonna make GF2014 a sunshine fest!

[ALL 'COS OF US! Take a moment to consider if we really think this and put that before the fun we have chatting and talking shit! (WE DO think we're gonna make it sunny for you who have tickets, genuinely...or do we?!).]

Ultimately, i'm here to stay.

Enjoy it here.

Be controversial.

State your case

Make your point known.

Be vociferous...angry even.

But step back and wonder if you're 'getting anywhere' making your point.

Impose the odd real-life ideal you hold dear when replying to someone.

Be witty.

Be funny.

Just don't - specifically - go out of your way to make someone feel bad...different from being provocative.

Likewise...try not to take offence.

And whatever you may think of Neil, you wouldn't be here if it weren't for him.

And i don't know the bloke at all.

Finally: thank you to those friends i've made on here: you know who you are. And you're brilliant. Fucking ace, in fact.

NFR NFC NForever.

eFests Forever.

God i'm dull (but thanks to eFests i'm entitled to have my own say, guff or not!)

Woffy x

PS - Fuck any grammatical mistakes i've made. If you think i'm gonna re-read and edit this guff then you don't know me...or do you.

Have a fucking WONDERFUL Glastonbury those of you who are lucky enough to be going.

More love, Woffy x

    • Sorry matey.  Always a nightmare when you have a plan and something scuppers it.   Happy myself, fills a nice little gap for me. Lucky so far really.     I’d have preferred an alternative too to break up the 21 pilot set but shan’t complain 
    • Happy with the name, unhappy with what it did to the lineup. Now I have to choose between Florence Road and Beirut 😞 and still no alternative to 21p.
    • Odd and rare for RW indeed! I even remember reading in the past that one of the reasons for certain bands not appearing there, were similar demands being rejected. It’s weird that they play after Gorillaz and even more weird that there won’t be an alternative. All they had to do was push Pixies to later. 
    • Klymaxx (The classic lineup) are rumoured to be back together and planning shows.    100k at this. Pyramid field shut down from the bandstand   
    • Self Esteem on TfG for the new BA venue in London next week   Also McFly at the Piece Hall, and several for Llangollen summer sessions.   I think is starting to show the new unused inventory platform starting to kick in. Could be be seeing a lot more last minute stuff from now on.
