Cheer up Stig. You know it will be great

This thread is really depressing me now, I've gone off everyone.
I don't feel part of any of it at all, either the gushing in crowd or the jaded sneerers.

As a gushing sneerer I demand to know how I fit in to the picture.

I may rig some form of shower cubicle... Ms Idaho has been muttering about such an edifice.

 

[Biddlybee]

People like dissecting gear though. I haven't even thought about packing yet.

Dissecting and having a go are a bit different though

Maybe it's just me then

I'm going on the shuggy boats with my sister again and I'm going to eat a lot. That's my plan.

 

[spanglechick]

it isn't a fun thread, currently, certainly.

i think the problem is that different people have different ideas of what's fun.

i get excited talking about things to bring and footwear/weather - related quandries (partly cos am shallow and partly cos it's been 3 yrs since i last festivalled)... but that same conversation makes someone else all miserable and fed up.

hmmm.

but even if the thread isn't delivering, i'm sure we'll have a good time!

Still, the actual festival I'm really looking forward to. But this thread is doing it's utmost best to put me off.
Maybe I'm just having a bad morning.

is that a gushing in crowd or a gushing in crowd?

there's a whole world of difference, you know.

 

[Kanda]

Dodgepot killed the thread being a grumpy fucker yesterday imo

 

[dodgepot]

fuck off.

 

[Idaho]

I must say that my characteristic obliviousness has meant I haven't even noticed any bad feeling on this thread

Er.. I think it's one of those cases were text can come across very stark, whereas if the words were spoken it would sound droll, dry, sarky, joshing, etc.

Festivals: Serious Business.

Also if I do construct the shower stall, anyone will be welcome regardless of footware.

I suspect you think I'm a jaded sneerer - which is a shame as I was quite enjoying seeing everyone getting excited about it, even the glow sticks.

but apparently thats patronising, so I guess no-one can win.

I'm looking forward to seeing you though stig

 

[wiskey]

I'm not taking any, no, and obv I dont waste my time taking alcohol.

and guess what . . . I'm still going to ahve a good time

 

[wiskey]

I owe you a cup of tea, we can laugh at the drunks together

 

[foo]

<taps foot>

Alcohol is not a waste of time young lady

 

[subversplat]

Oh, did I miss a bunfight? Will this spoil the festival for me?

 

[wiskey]

Alcohol is not a waste of time young lady

no, you're right, its quite good for washing things in

 

[dodgepot]

hoorah for that - looking forward to catching up with you and derv

although i will probably be a bit worse for wear at various points

and very much looking forward to some good music

 

[Crispy]

Oh, did I miss a bunfight? Will this spoil the festival for me?

depends if you care what other people say you should do. if you're happy with your choice, be happy and don't give a fig about other people (feel free to try and tell them what to do, of course!)

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

no, you're right, its quite good for washing things in

Grrrrrrrr.

 

[Idaho]

Yeah - why bother when you can buy it there?


(joke)


Good on you

i didn't think you were sneering. I loves my glowsticks anyway, though.
