I can't bear it. I am dabbing down any one who uses it genuinely. Inevitably I think this policy will lead to me dabbing down from this forum as I dab down every other regular user...

FTFY

Just harmless fun isn't it? Plenty of running jokes and repeated phrases on these boards.

Blocking Maelzoid as he has previously used the term ‘Pymild’ genuinely.

Hello and welcome to joining in with the forum. If they are playing nearby and haven't sold out their tour that could actually be a factor in them not being announced as a lot of people could think I won't bother buying tickets I'll just catch them at the festival so they may well just be a later announcement. 

Thank you, nice to be here. Good point, hopefully they’ll be announced at a later date then!

Looking forward to seeing what the likes of Left Field and Williams Green have in store this year.

Would expect to see the likes of Yard Act, Shame and The Murder Capital turn up in these places. Yard Act especially you'd think were a sure thing for Left Field. 

Talk Show too.

Blocking you the next time you say ‘Pymild’ or jokingly include the name of Radiohead’s debut album in 9th place in a list.

add to the above as probably (maybe?) not big enough to make the poster but i'd selfishly want.

Don’t think you’re allowed to say that these days.

Definitely expected the Manics on there... Still wouldn't be shocked to see them there though.

Random thought: were they left off because their name was too long? They already had Megan Thee Stallion, Nightmares on Wax and NGHFB around that part of the poster...

Great theory and I hope that's the case, though very unlikely.

I'm a sad act who squints my eyes before I look at the poster, so I can get some paper to put on the screen and reveal each act 1 at a time... was gutted when I knew Manics weren't on that line. And instantly confused at the thought of Amyl and the Sniffers subbing...til I realised it's alphabetical...

Lmaooo I used to do this. Did it with my hand on my phone this morning revealing one line at a time.

Ridiculous that Beans on Toast yet again hasn’t been put on the poster despite he’s obviously going to play😉

I used to do it with teletext football scores when I was a kid... this is my adult version of that.

I had a meeting 9-11 this morning so it was torture not being able to look at it, and seeing 132 WhatsApp notifications... managed to avoid seeing any before the big old paper reveal job though

I’ve spent two work calls today sat talking about Glasto placements on Messenger and snapped out of it several times by someone asking me about some task and having no idea what they’re talking about. Bad vibes.

When I was a kid my dad and I used to listen to West Brom away games on the radio but he'd turn it off with about 10 minutes to go and wait for the results to come through on Grandstand.

Somto's career is dabbing down.

Just seen that Beautiful Days have got a load of acts I would love to see including Anais Mitchell, beth orton, Seth lakeman, Eliza Carthy, Hollie Cook, The Specials, it goes on and on and on. Argh.

Tempted to do both

I mean, yes you're right. I've thought about this myself, as I did think my irrational hatred of the dab down thing was just me being old and grouchy and shaking my fist at the proverbial cloud. Running jokes were much better in my day etc.

But it's the sheer volume of it that gets on my nerves. It's on every other comment on every other thread. Feel like I'm drowning in dab.

But hey, I can just skip past it. It's not going to drive me away or make me block anyone. But that's why I personally find it more irritating than other running jokes. 

Anyway, back to posters. Still getting over Manics and Big Moon.

We are tempted to do beautiful days as well, a bit of a trek for us but one of the plus points of retirement, time off work not an issue any more 

[CaledonianGonzo]

It's a genuinely useful phrase I find. I've started using it IRL.

I've decided just to to roll with it.

If that is the way the wind is blowing let it not be said I don't also blow.

As a relatively sane poster (not much competition I know) could you give me a simple explanation of what it means?

I want to be able to talk to the young folk without humiliating myself.

It's like smurf. You can smurf it to smurf the context.

Or dab the downtext, I should say.

I can't tell if I like you more or hate you more based on this response. It's honestly quite difficult to tell.
