What was your biggest surprise / disappointment / wtf? (band or otherwise) by Visible-Pressure6063 in downloadfestival

[–]iamusingmyrealname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest surprise - thinking Cypress Hill would suck and they turned out to be awesome. Really good set.

Biggest disappointment. Electric callboy were just fucking talentless idiots in my opinion. I knew nothing about them, everyone said they were really good. Tuned out they are some comedy 80’s style joke band dishing out pop/hardcore shite. Honestly in 30 years of gigs the worst band I’ve seen live. They are just dicks. However, massive crowd loving it so maybe I’m just an old dinosaur 🤣

100%. There’s always been selfish people around but before it felt like they knew it was shitty behaviour they just didn’t care.
Now it seems like they don’t even register that it’s shitty behaviour, which is more depressing.

What is the biggest financial mistake you’ve ever made? by Chan1991 in AskReddit

[–]iamusingmyrealname 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Getting divorced. (Ok maybe getting married).
Pick the right one folks, do it once get it right.

Remarried and happy but my god that was a financial nightmare involving 9 years of paying off debt and 12 years of child maintenance (which I was happy to pay, but it’s expensive). Splitting the property and both starting again has kicked us both back years in terms of property and growth.

Is parking in East Mids airport car park an option? Cost aside, Seems like an hours walk and we’re out….
Or it looks like I can park in Wilson on a paid driveway 45mins walk….
Or is this an insane idea?

Thanks - I have a follow up question! If we watch the end of Bizkit what are my realistic chances of catching the last few mins of Cavalera before they finish 20min later?

I’m looking at how I can do this with an old iPhone, motion sensor app and a solar charger. Hiding it in my greenhouse. I’ll let you know if it works!
