sweet, just got a call back from seetickets to reorder my tickets, now i can stop worrying...and feeling stupid for entering the wrong details. I have to say from my point of view they did a good job this year, I was told by the person I spoke to that I had ordered my tickets at 9.03am, I was on the phone last year for 10 hours 
...anyway I think its mighty nice of them to do callbacks as I just presumed theyll cancel them alogether.

Just looking at the rumour mill on efests and have realised I know very little about 'popular music'...
Well I saw The White Stripes at Glasto before and they were pretty good but who are The Killers, Bloc Party, The Subways, Keane, Hayseed Dixie, and Kaiser Chiefs?
Fucked if I'm listening to that Australian midget whine on too - she ain't even good eye-candy
Looks like it's gonna be a 'catch some music in passing' type of year
Which, of course, is my favourite kind

I know jack shit about bands but we always have a great time 'going for a wander' and catching some bloke plunking at a guitar in a little tent somewhere. I didn't see anything on the main stages last year, I'm not into the crowds.
Have others actually had the ticket money debited from their bank accounts yet?
I have my confirmation, and I KNOW I put the card number etc in correctly, but as of this afternoon, a quick dial-in to my bank does not show the transaction. It does show other transactions from Sunday though.

No queues maybe but there were distinct toilet/shower wars going on. Which crew had the right to use which facility, why there were compounds with their own showers within compounds that most passes couldn't get into anyway, and so on and on. bicker bicker whinge whinge with at least one "it's not fair" tantrum being bought off with a wristband blag.....
It's precisely places like that that I'd like to get rid of completely.

I'd sooner have a mad heat wave than the weather last year!
You need to get yerself a tent with an entrance at the front and at the back for some ventilation.
No we don't want none of this ta very much

Where's Mr Geller when we need him?
Weather like Friday afternoon last year will do me. Although I did have to crawl to the 1 metre band if shade at the Pyramid stage during Groove Armada. Bastard space cakes, but at least I had the presence of mind to seek the shadow.

Richie says "Slip, Slap, Slop!"
Slip on a t'shirt, slap on a hat and slop on some sun block...
...wise words Mr Benaud, wise words indeed.

Wish I could refrain (for aqua's sake!) from posting about the better than evens chances of a heatwave this year ... purely on the grounds of probability -- we haven't had a full on late June one since 1995, except in the non Glasto year of 2001 ...
2003? Heatwave?
HA!! That was nothing compared to 1995 ....
Stig prefers temps to be sub 25C, aqua I know feels the same, moose I think too.
But my upper limit is around 32C
I do sympathise with anyone who finds extreme heat a problem, but this sympathy is exceeded massively by my pathologival want-to-kill irritation against idiots blithering about how they can 'enjoy it all equally whether it's sunny or muddy' .... 90% of people who talk like that were not there in 1997 and 1998 ....
Mud = shite
Sun = .... FACT!
Anyway, ignore all purported 'long term' forecasts til after Strawberry Fair. Anything before that is too long term to be reliable.
