Definately not gigs. I've gone there to watch a band play because I want to hear them, I don't want to listen to you chewing my ear off about how awesome my wristbands are, ohhh what a nice tattoo, I nearly went to Glastonbury once, wow we have so much in common.

The gym I guess would be quite a good place to meet someone. I do a lot of walking and so many times a sexy man has ridden past me on his bike and I've thought 'Stop, come back!!!' and off they zoom.

Where do folk reckon are good places to meet new women (or men if thats your thing)?

Got bored of trying in bars and esp clubs.

I'm thinking about joining a gym, not only should it improve my chances by looking a bit better hopefully be a few nice ladies that go there as well.

Always thoguht gigs might be a good diea as you know that you'll liek the same music etc, always liked to meet a girl who would rather go see good bands than listen to Boyzoe etc! But then same sort of problem as bars where your usually pretty drunk and well gigs are a bit loud for chattign to folk!

Anyway any reccomendations?

I'm not so sure about meeting people of the opposite sex in the gym. Depends whether you like the red faced, sweaty look - well I guess it gives you an idea of........ :lol: . Most people tend to be plugged into i-pods in the gym so it's not easy to get the conversation started.

Having said that I can't think of any specific place to improve your chances of meeting a girl. The supermarket is apparently a popular one ;)

Yes, I can't sleep at night, I can't go to gigs without coming out in a rash at the thought of him being there......

Ummm, no. It just happened to get mentioned again (people attempting to pull at gigs) and my story is a good reason to put people off doing so.

I'm quite sure he would be. However, I think the whole idea of trying to pull at a gig is a bit silly! Whether you are a nice guy or not I've gone there to hear music. I don't like the whole idea of pulling at all to be honest though......it kinda smells of 'any girl will do so long as she's attractive and ticks certain boxes'. I much prefer the idea of allowing things to happen naturally....as Sifi says matters of the heart are not some sort of contractual agreement. In that case actually I don't think there's any good place to meet someone, it's just the luck of the draw!!! I do wish some of those mountain bikers would slow down though....I even held a gate open for one once and told him he had great timing.....he laughed, said cheers and then shot off past me up the hill.

Ever seen the film Singles?

That reminds me of a scene. Outstanding film, which I'm surprised I haven't mentioned in here. An intelligent, comical and realistic look at the issues surrouding singledom with the greatest film soundtrack ever made.

      2026 line-up speculation

      By SweepingTheNation · Posted

      People seem to have got obsessed about 'secret sets' at all festivals this year even when there aren't any spaces other than, in EOTR's case, the usual late Folly sets that 90%+ of the time are from artists who are already playing.

      To be fair @Superscally barely mentions the running thing. Very quiet about it 😘

      I guess we'll just have to wait until videos of the shows go up, but the fact that the standing is also greyed out still suggests to me that those sections just sold out out before the others and a blue block just be like 3 tickets left, it's still not concrete proof they never went on sale and if they were never on sale why would they not make it even, if 414 wasn't on sale then you'd think 409 wouldn't be either

      2027 Headliners

      By smiffy98 · Posted

      I don’t think the festival automatically ‘need’ to have a female headliner if you have strong female headliners on the Other Stage (which I reckon will be Rosalia and Phoebe Bridgers), perhaps a female legend (praying for Annie, will take Cher), and a few female/mix gendered subs on the Pyramid (maybe London Grammar, The xx). From what I’ve seen of Sabrina, her team prioritises the pay day and I think she will be doing Wembley over Glasto weekend.   One thing I’ve noticed is a lot of the suggestions would be first time headliners and I can’t work out when the last time was that the festival had three artists top the bill that hadn’t topped it before? It seems to be something they like to do to make sure they have a ‘safe’ headliner that will land well with the masses. Plenty of names in that hat that could step back up next summer and should/could be about: Billie Eilish, Adele, Foo Fighters, The Cure, Radiohead, U2…hell, if Beyoncé is really planning to release a ‘rock n roll’ album to complete her Renaissance trilogy, Glastonbury would be a great place to ‘kick off’ that campaign for her.   And there’s always the Rihanna rumour. Her husband (I think) said this week she’s in the studio.
