It's amazing to think that there was a time before social media when, if you were a gobshite, everybody ignored you. There was no way to make money saying stupid, provocative things because nobody wanted anything to do with you.

Ha Ha yep. It was the most extraordinary experience - never known anything like it at Glasto. I was amazed they even knew who he was.

I overheard a woman at work say to the resident loud-and-proud Reform guy,
โ€œYour whole personality revolves around what you hate instead of what you love โ€” and thatโ€™s an awful way to live.โ€ He just stood there, completely speechless, for a solid minute.

(Copied from Reddit but so true)
