wanna photo? this boat.

I'm not doubting the boat, I'm doubting you being on it. £100 bet to charity are you taking it or not?

no, cos you're not honest enough for me to trust to pay up when you lose.

Of course it is, but can't you see that the fault lies with the big companies, advertising agency's etc

Sadly most can't see how we're being manipulated to make the few rich.

I agree the fault is with big firms and governments and generally speaking someone getting a few flights isn’t going to be the problem. But if you say ‘lifestyle attitude’ is a problem then you are kinda placing it on normal people too.

so you're just trolling then!

 

 

 

 

when you stop thinking.

 

ok, so you've spent all day trolling me for saying i'm going to visit my brother, cos that's what a two faced arsehole you are.

I’ve never said any different - I don’t plan to stop flying short haul once or twice a year unless it becomes illegal. I’ll make my own choices. 

I think you’ll find it’s you that’s the two faced arsehole acting all holy with your trail of past flying emissions behind you - why not go and tell your son not to fly or your bruv to get another job that’s not catastrophic to the environment.

Fair comment

The best way to stop these big firms is to stop buying their sh*t, which is partly where ‘lifestyle attitude’ come in.

Yeah it is in a way but the only people that suffer then are workers as those companies sales and profits decline they will cut the workforce.

Any attempt at moderation is pointless with Neil remaining a mod. How long till he’s gone?

⚠️  As a mod team, we've taken the decision to permanently lock this thread, nearly three years after it was created.

It's taken us through a lot of turbulent times, not least of which the pandemic, ongoing wars and conflicts, the cost of living crisis, and increasing climate change.

There's been a lot of discussion, at times pointed, and we believe it's in the interest of moving the forum forward that separate threads exist for several of the topics discussed here.

Thread creation is by no means limited to the mod team, so if there's something you'd like to see discussed or exist in its own thread, feel free to start one or request it. You can message any of the mods personally at any time.

Thanks everyone. We hope you'll continue to join in as we try to make eFestivals even better. Cheers. ⚠️
