TITP forum?

[MEGABOWL]

It seems to me there's too many bed wetters and wimps on here, maybe most of them would be better just staying indoors incase the big bad festival goer comes looking for them Hahaha

And to people saying they were punched or whatever did you fight back or just stood and took it then go and moan about it on a message board?

Also, since when did people on pills go around twatting each other?

Have pills got a lot, lot shitter in the 6 years since I last took them or something?

[rachbon]

But what happens next year when they re-join and just post here?

[kaosmark2]

If me or my freinds had just been punched for no apparent reason I'd hold that as a valid reason.

[carruthers67]

anyone making that prediction would be right eventually. Even the Glasto forums here will go one day.

As for anything else about that, it's idiotic. I want nothing more than forums here to run smoothly and so be able to continue, as that's the most advantageous situation for me. The *only* reason behind my decision is that it's been continually proven over 13 years that the T forums here are not able to run smoothly.

I'm not the only person who has found forums for T in the Park to be unmanageable - T in the Park themselves did.

[eFestivals]

I've got no vested interest in T which has caused me to shut the forum. As far as the money goes I'm better off if it's here. But money is not my god.

I appreciate the offers of help for making it run smoothly, but experience tells me it wouldn't work any better. Hence me deciding not to go that way.

It is, very simply, more hassle than it's worth.

On a different note, Fleetwood Mac look set to reunite next year. Potential to play at T?

Yeah that suits the demographic Geoff is after

[stu150]

Would love to see Fleetwood Mac close the 20th T think it would be something special.

Really want to expect a few legends on the lineup.

Think we may end up with the Killers, Biffy and Rihanna though

[blue6field]

Having done many T's the demographic now couldn't be further from the the likes of fleet wood mac and Springsteen.

This was brought home on the Sunday when we felt like salmon swimming against the current of the tens of thousands of people heading towards the nme stage to see nicki Minaj as we headed to see elbow. Shame really but I suppose as I get older trends change, did have a chuckle though when I heard about her performance!!

Very few people punch for absolutely no reason. If you can recognise the symptoms and just not give them the time of day, eye contact or conversation it will piss on their parade. Easy for me to say I know as compared to most I'm huge but just ignoring them will deter 99.99% of attention seeking trouble makers.

[thetime]

I think your viewpoint is very naive. Scumbags can punch people for the way the look, talk, race, sexual orientation, or how vulnerable or how drunk they look just to mug them for money.

There is also a percentage of people who react violently to alcohol and should be banned for life from all licensed premises for the good of themselves and the public.

Around twelve years ago I got mugged in a pub toilet after football match while taking a piss. I still don't know what provoked that w*nker from following me into the toilet to attack me. Reintroducing the death penalty should be considered for these people as they aren't fit to be part of society.

This forum like TITP has unfortunately been turning to shit for the last few years .

I stopped going 3 yrs ago and apart from the odd twinge when watching highlights I havent regretted my choice to stop . The amount of neds and arseholes who now go just spoil it for so many and the demographic has changed so dramatically its frightening .

Theres only so many times i could put up with The Killers , Kasabian or Kaiser Chiefs and the last time T really tried to do some thing spectacular was getting Bowie which sadly didnt come off.

As for the constant supply of chart pish and talent show crap that Ellis books it is no wonder decent people are turning their backs on the festival

You were doing so well until the last sentence.

[Gparsfan]

If too many idiots start posting here, Neil can just ban them.

.

[thetime]

And could he not just have done that in the T forum?

The idiots will come back, it's inevitable.

If you deck them with your first punch you're even less likely to get punched again.

Self defence isn't stupid.

You cringe at people who stand and accept being hit, FFS pal.

And there in a nutshell is why T is such a fuckin nedfest . The most aggressive festival vibe in the country

[Gparsfan]

How festivals have changed, what happened to love not violence.

I cringe by the likes of you.

So if your mate was getting kicked in would you stand by and watch? Bugger that for a laugh, I'll stick up for my mates always.

And if you get punched in the face and the guy is winding up for another one, what on earth do you intend on doing? walk away and all that will happen is you'll get punched in the back of the head.

What happens when you're lying on the deck, getting your head jumped on because you thought turning your back to someone who was about to lamp you one was a good idea? You can take your lengthy stay in hopsital and possible brain damage, ruining your life and future job prospects, I'll take my chance with defending myself.

I wish the world worked in your sort of ideal way "Oh well, no matter what someone does to me if I turn and walk away they will immediately stop and see how much of a knobhead they are being". No, if you genuinely believe that is how life works you have had more of a sheltered upbringing than Siddhartha Guautama.

I would lol if one of you had kids, what would be your reaction to watching them getting blootered? perhaps you would politely ask the person if they would kindly mind to stop. I cringe at the people on here who think the world works the way you do, It's easy enough in life to avoid trouble, but if some pilled up junkie was to punch me with absolutely no aggravation to then move onto my mate? walking away isn't taking some sort of moral high ground, it's damn right failing in your duties to defend yourself, something that everyone has a right to do. Who knows, maybe if you'd given that guy a sore one he might have thought twice about doing it again.

I have never once in my life instigated or encouraged a fight, but I will not apologise for defending myself when someone if beyond reasoning, and there is nothing at all wrong with that.
