We have a thread that deals with the little things that cause us rage. How about a ranty thread that causes us to wish those to caused it to swing from lamp posts?


Rant #1


So, we are sat outside the EDT this afternoon. My better half smokes - me, no. I don't give a shit.


She lights up. A small plume of smoke emerges, and disipates in seconds on the wind. 20 feet away, we have the faux coughs from a couple, hand waving and , I shit you not, covering the face of their offspring. We are obviously causing genocide.


Not three feet away from the very same pram is an idleing 185 bus with its exhaust pumping cardom monoxide at the perfect pram height for direct inhalation. It sat there for at least 2 minutes.


So.


I proposed an experiment, what with me being an Qualified Engineeer and all. I said to give me her offspring in a sealed garage where the better half smoked consistently for 20 minutes, and then we run a bus for 20 minutes.


Then we can find out which one kills first.


She was very abusive.

    • I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
    • I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another? 
    • Found now. All safe.   Found now!
    • We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
