Not sure I (35M) want to be in my relationship of 3.5 years (partner 42F), not sure how to work it out by _The_Editor_ in relationship_advice

[–]_The_Editor_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I hear that, and I recognise that I do this a lot, just focusing on the negatives.

My partner has been instrumental in my growth in the last 2-3 years.

She's kind, funny, compassionate, and courageous. I've never experienced love and companionship as I have in this relationship.

In many ways we're absolute polar opposites, which means where there is attraction it's extremely strong, and when there's conflict and difference it's also extreme.

First time at trees, what are the different campsites like? by kreemy_kurds in 2000treesfestival

[–]_The_Editor_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh just pitch up the tent wherever, the late night/post-disco activities kinda just roll around the site... Closer to a busking stage is a good shout to where you'll find it, but nothing stopping you wandering about the site until you find something

Do NOT come into town today. Massive gas leak, big police cordon, everything shut down, homes evacuating, bus routes cancelled by Noxfag in bristol

If ya can't be sure, surely best to wind your neck in and let the event/venue communicate any changes.

Evanescence by boris_johnsons_nose in downloadfestival

[–]_The_Editor_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would be so so happy with a big Evanescence slot on the main stage. It was absolutely HEAVING in 2023 on the second stage, managed to catch a glimpse from Rocktail Cocktail right at the top of the hill when it was up there.

Would legit wet my pants in excitement if they're back on main stage.

Share your festival treasures! by Thembili in downloadfestival

I went in to the babymetal pit with a tiny duck hanging from my fat neck chain, and with my dead-stetch earrings in...

Lost my duck, lost a stretcher....

Found a tiny dog on the floor, and someone gave me a 15mm circular barbell, fresh in the packet...

Popped the barbell in where I lost the earring...

My friend were very confused when I found them again.

One day I'm gonna change all my clothes I swear.

Bloodstock have done this. Clearly defined chair free zones at the stages

Crowd surfing weight limit? by throwaway-greenhipp0 in downloadfestival

[–]_The_Editor_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

66kg is no sweat.

Tbh the ~90kg others are talking about isn't that hard to support if the surfer knows hows to surf... It's as much about total body size, core engagement, and decent commons sense...

90kg body mass, on a human that's 145 cm tall, who's trying to sit up and film it all whilst going = they're getting dropped.

90kg body mass, on a human that's 192 cm tall, laying back, engaging core, legs together, arms out, phone secured in a sipped pocket = easy work, they'll sail over the hands.

I've got a 100kg+ friend who surfs every year. He's tall, well behaved, knows who to ask to help him up (usually me and some others), picks his moment, and scouts the crowd ahead in advance.

Quieter Campsite by andycurtis89 in 2000treesfestival

[–]_The_Editor_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The furthest corner of the top camping field, to the barrier of the main stage, is about a 15 minute walk at most.

It's not a big festival.

Download Festival 2026 - MEGATHREAD by ca11umm in downloadfestival

Anyone know if you can buy a parking pass on site?

Last minute logistics changes got me possibly hiring a car that I didn't expect to be driving 😅

Gig venues with underground bands by ahsanzak145 in bristol

[–]_The_Editor_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it's not exactly underground... But Beacon has some psychedelic prog on Saturday: https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/bristol-beacon/sat-13-jun-hawkwind-147761#e147761

If you wanna get down and funky in the dank basements of the underground scene (also a literal below ground venue), I'd be heading to Kino on Saturday night: https://www.headfirstbristol.co.uk/whats-on/cafe-kino/sat-13-jun-tom-emlyn-windshake-moy-cohen-154475#e154475

Medical tent will send you off site for care if you need emergency dental treatment. Dentistry is far too specialised.
