I'm not an old hippy!
It was fun but I wish I hadn't missed friday night sleeping
Got back about 3 last night, there was a mini exodus from camp urban, I just fancied my bed and a shower. I enjoyed it, I knew the weather was going to be shit so I had resigned myself to that, I saw some good bands and some really fucking awful ones. If it was sunny the whole way through it would have been brilliant.
Sounds like you had nearly as much rain down in Dorset as we did in North Wales**
**20 hours continuous in Dolgellau, Friday night to Saturday night, and mostly pretty heavy -- waterfalls spectacular and the river near our campsite nearly doubled its depth
Yeah it was a bit rubbish - but was great fun nonetheless.
Want to do a roll-call of all the people I said hello to but am afeared of accidentally missing someone off. It seems somehow rude not to. Was nice to say hello to Moose and Aqua after a gap of 4 years.And also thanks to memespring and nipsla for listening to my tedious prattling... hats and the style council?
I did manage to say a first real life hello to Eastender, Tank Girl and dodgepot, foo, bluestreak, felixthecat, Thora, firky, JTG, spanglechick, onemonkey, pyscherlic, zenie - shame I didn't get a chance to chat more.
Actually had a comprehensable conversations with han, Top Cat & Ms Top Cat, madamv, Sparklefish, Yossarian, aurora green and Tort.
Felixthecat's innovative cup holder deserves a mention And I must apologise for failing to remember Mation's name.
Also a tip of the hat to Agent Sparrow, beesonthewhatnow, BiddlyBee, citydreams, Cpatain Rbubish, Crispy, crustychick, dervish, dolly's gal, editor, eme, onenameshelley, rich!, Stig, Termite Man, wiskey, wrysmile, zora, Onket, sleaterkinney.
The biggest nod goes to the excellent people who made saturday such fun (sorry - don't know your board name Mark!)

Dollys Gal wasn't there btw
Moomo: Yeah, kept waking up, realising it was still pissing down and going back to sleep
Looking forward to getting jealous at band reviews!
That was great

Yeah - I saw that I had left one in that shouldn't have been - but then couldn't be arsed to amend
was lovely to sit and natter to you two sorry I just disappearedFriday was fun, met lots of new people but I won't list because I'm bound to forget someone.
*waves back*just going past brum now *waves at bees and aqua*. Got out very easily by pointing the van at the exit and going hell for leather. That really was one of my best festiivals for ages. Loved the music, the company and the clean toilets. The weather wasn't so bad and the organisers dealt with it very well.
Edit: mr moose wanted to add something about the good selection of well priced food, cheap, rapid towing service and relatively low-key security.
You actually remember some of it???
Bad points:
The weather on Saturday - I don't usually mind rain at festivals, but EiD seems perfect for just sitting around chatting to your mates, and the rain stopped this.
No C&p'd it from the poll of people who said they were going and took out the names I didn't meet...did you c&p it from last year or something?! brilliant!
I had a great time. Raincoat was needed on Saturday but it was well worth being out and about The ground was much firmer for getting out today, but we let the train take the strain and are happily home after a fun weekend....The weather seemed to have kept a fair number of people confined to tents, but the atmosphere out and about was happy as ever.
Saw a few bands - some of which were good, a couple not so good. Didn't get to see as much as I could have - but no bother.
Clean toilets all weekend, even the ones right by the main stage.
or if they had to use the plastic ones, they should have had a deposit on them like at other festies so the kids end up trying to collect them all for the moneyIt occurred to me earlier I didn't see a single toilet cleaning operative, a single litter picker, a single rubbish collector all weekend . . . yet it was always perfect
I did find it a little sad they served beer in plastic glasses in the bars though instead of paper ones which can be recycled.
