Morning all. 2nd day of staycation today, with coffee in bed, the radio on, travel mags in hand. Beats working for a living! Just could do with it being June.

Welcome Brunette, you're helping us to be more representative in hair colour too.

My story is nowhere near as sad as yours! I've just never been that good at making friends. Never had any friends in school (I was in the group of loners), had a few in college, just a couple in uni. Online I have met so many people (particularly Marillion fans) who have become firm friends. I even met my husband!

I've lived in all different parts of the country and I'm also a bit rubbish at keeping in touch with people. Facebook has changed that. I can start or get involved with conversations with people I hardly ever see in person. I can much more easily arrange to meet up with people who I otherwise wouldn't see and who would otherwise probably drift out of my life.

I guess I feel less lonely in the company of my phone than I would without it because for me my phone is my connection to my friends. I've never been good at talking on the phone so to be able to chat in text works much better for me. I'm generally pretty happy on my own but it's nice to have other people in your life too.

I'm glad you're in a better place now and, although I've not been that low I can totally relate to your story. The Internet is a wonderful communication tool.

Eerily similar to me! Except for the Marilyn bit!!

    • Latest from the sun at least is that harry is still headlining but Olivia has turned down a spot next year to work on new music and hope for 2028.   So they can't have Fender, Fontaines, Harry, Olivia and Madonna. 
    • I mean I don't think EC and FFDP are borderline sub, they wouldn't be any lower now.   2025 is about as strong as Bloodstock gets yet this year only one headline would sub and the others would play 3rd down or lower.    Machine Head wouldn't sub at Download regardless of rarity, they don't sell enough tickets and I'm not sure Gojira would sub either. Their last UK tour was a mix of smaller arenas and academy dates. Ally Pally being the only London date, not even Wembley Arena. 
    • live music / main stage will generally end around 11pm but theres dj’s and late goings on right till 4am if you are so inclined.   Drinks are about £7.50 a pint probably and yes theres lots of mixed drinks / spirits / cocktails available to buy   wonderful festival, back for my third year in a row and 4th overall
    • If anyone sees Lakefest this weekend on any sites please post here, I’ve got alerts set. Been on TFG in recent years and not sold out yet.
