Banned by Facebook, who don't believe my name is what it is. Even after I'd sent them a scan of my driving licence. And there is no way to talk to anyone about it :-(

Blimey how much was that, for students I bet the electricity bill was massive! :o
I don't remember, but it must have come out of what savings I had at the time (not a great amount). It just shows that educated people are not necessarily conscientious :|

Trying to upload a pic for my profile on here and says it has to be under 48kb, editing and looking at a few pics- can't seem to get anything less than 650kb does technology even go that low anymore?!

Make sure your image is only 100x100 pixels, and export it as a JPEG. Lower the JPEG quality as needed (you can normally get to ~80% without any serious loss of image quality).

Why are metal type people always so smart! I have absolutely no idea how to do any of that :lol: how do I do that on an Android phone rather than a computer? X

Dunno if there's any easy way of doing this on android, but if you don't have access to a PC (or do, but don't want to install a graphical manipulation software like GIMP), then I had some success with https://www.photopea.com/

It's not a newbie-friendly tool though, so if you don't have any experience with graphics manipulation software and terms like cropping and scaling, you might struggle to use it.

Oh great, we're playing silly buggers with naval provocations off the coast of Crimea. Are we hoping to get the Europeans to rally around us by playing to a 'Russia is the bad guy' rhetoric? :/

Ankle totally went over again at the weekend and still in a lot of pain. Typical as I'm off to Barefoot Festival this weekend after months of waiting to be back in a field camping.

Got my tickets for next year on site but no parking ticket available until online. So went to See Tickets to get parking ticket and happy to see it was £18.25 and then... at the checkout a WHOPPING £6.50 transaction fee added on just for a single parking ticket. AND they had the cheek to put 'tickets will be £20 on the gate' which is a sight cheaper than £24.75 (that's a bloody pint mate!)

So not only did See manage to fuck up pre-festival, they're managing to bugger up post... It really wouldn't surprise me if bloodstock signed a contract with another ticketing company after 2022
If it sounds good, listen to it

This is my 12th BOA and I've never had any probs with See Tickets though. Last year was a fuck up all over the place because of the 'you know what'. I'll just pay the £20 for the parking on the entrance.
