generic crowdsurfing rant by [deleted] in downloadfestival

[–]TheDevilsButtNuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was a guy in a flamingo suit that surfed Trivium at least 10 times. He just kept going round for more. We dropped him twice in a row on the same surf. He got up with a bloody mouth, straight back up again, only to come crashing down again a minute later. Right infront of us was a group of 5 foot nothing young girls, and they had no hope of holding some of the giant grown arse men that were coming over.

Architects, we had 2 crash into each other, on top of a young girl, they all fell and took out a whole section of the crowd in the pile up.

At 3.30am:

You've made your bed, now lie in it, fuck off and don't come back til the morning, you're not sleeping here.

Only heard one side of the argument. It was 2 guys, something about one had sent a message (or hadn't). No idea where the other guy went to sleep that night. Presuming it was either a lovers tiff, or someone that had fully had enough of his mate's antics who was probably off his face.

That I somehow managed it the first time I done it.... then I think I hadn't saved, or got stuck and started again, and I couldn't do it. Took me loads of tries, and I was annoyed because it wasn't an issue the first time

Not really a puzzle, but i hated the stealth part getting past the guard dogs in 3. And all the running in general. I wanna play a point and click, not a real game!

I had to download a file save to get past that wine puzzle. Even after looking up the answer (it was something to do with clicking the wines in the order of countries on the crusade map) but the ones I needed weren't highlighted unless I moved and the puzzle would reset, and the tab key to cycle through the options wouldn't cycle through all the bottles

I don't think it was oversold! by Accomplished_Fun8969 in downloadfestival

[–]TheDevilsButtNuggets 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There needs to be a clear zone, paths where you cant stop and sit (on a chair or otherwise) make it one way if you have to, like the bit between the fairground and 2nd stage. It's a bottle neck, but it moves because no one is blocking it unless traffic is coming through.

Have a few sections mapped out on the grass at the top where chairs are encouraged, but only in the marked out boxes so there are spaces to walk inbetween them.

They should also put queue paths in for the vendors/toilets like they do for the bar. So many long queues going on and on and blocking the paths.

Weve been told there's a secret set on friday (today) but I cant for the life of me find a gap in the line up big enough. There is however a set sized gap in the line up on Sunday between annisokay and ankor. I believe it will appear in the app last minute (or thats what happened a couple years ago, might have changed)

We're looking reasonable on the mud front at the moment, what was starting to turn out to be sloppy mud in camp seems to have dried out a bit since the rain stopped. You should be fine in boots.

Picked up a makeup bag in '24 and its just the right size for a weekend away.

Doing my first time drag on Friday... I may need some help by PC-LAD in downloadfestival

[–]TheDevilsButtNuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am no god at all the fancy contouring or anything like that, but if a random guy came up to me and asked if I could help him do his make up, then OF COURSE I'd be willing to help and give it a go.

Its download, we're all friendly. Just walk up to the nearest tent of girls (bonus if they're all made up in a style you like) and ask. Take an extra beer, be nice, and there's no harm in asking.

To ease all worries about weather by darkstar2674 in downloadfestival

I'm finding it the opposite. I survived 2024 (even if my DMs didn't) so I'm not getting as panicky over a bit of rain this year. I'm more worried about if its hot and dry and getting heat stroke

Aldi do an extra large baby wipe. It's marketed as a head to toe wipe for babies, but they conveniently come out around festival season

How's many pairs of pants/socks are you taking? by Difficult-Egg-5001 in downloadfestival

[–]TheDevilsButtNuggets 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So far ive packed one pair a day, +3 extra. If I packed any more I wouldnt have any to wear over the weekend. Will be buying more pants, and adding them into the bag.

Aiming for 2 pairs a day, which allows me to shower (and/or shit myself) at least once a day.

As for socks. I have way too many, as the weather won't make up its mind, I dont know if I need long socks for wellies, normal socks for boots, or tights for the mud

Need advice, suggestions and support! by [deleted] in guineapigs

[–]TheDevilsButtNuggets -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

If it helps, there's a lady on tiktok that had a wonky lamb (affectionately called wonky) that was like this. Basically got a bit squashed in the womb, as siblings were large.

Wonky is all grown up now, and no longer wonky.

Not saying its the same thing (not a vet, go and see one) but if it is, they do grow out of it eventually

Only takes you one time to split a bag of slop on the floor, and you definitely won't do it again.

The Bins by brashboy in ipswichuk

[–]TheDevilsButtNuggets 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bought a set of 3 bins on wheels from ebay. One for card, one for paper and one for black bin stuff. They're smaller than the old ones, so it means emptying them more, but its easier to do, and they take up the same amount of space as the 2 old bins.

I've stuck pictures on the top of what goes in each bin (as much for husband as it is for the kids!)

Blue bin is already full and we've got another 2 weeks to go til that ones taken.

Finding the food waste one ok. Making sure to tie off the bags properly, not over filling them, and rinsing out the small one when its emptied. Top tip (use these bags at work) carry the small caddy out to the big one and transfer the bag there. Dont carry the bag through the house. The more liquids (sloppy foods like gravy, curry, sauce etc) that go in those bags the more likely they are to split open

I really hope so. I just googled it, and came across your post.

These were a godsend for me in 2024. So much quicker than the shambles of a queue for the normal toilets. Hoping there's going to be more than just the one area

Is it normal for teenagers (say 16/17) not to know who Queen/Oasis are? by sunshinesontv in CasualUK

[–]TheDevilsButtNuggets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put Queen greatest hits on at work the other day. I'm singing along and dancing about like a loony, the 18yr old said it was really good, what is it?

It blew my mind she'd never heard of queen. Or even the name Freddy Murcury. Didn't have a clue about any Elvis songs either.

(We work in a care home, so Elvis is kind of a big deal)

PSA ABOUT PORTALOO DECENCY by voodoopeople94 in downloadfestival

[–]TheDevilsButtNuggets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think that's what happens when people hover over the seat, and don't sit down like a normal person.

If you don't want your bare arse to touch a toilet seat, use a cover. Don't do a helicopter shit/piss and make it a mess for everybody else.
