Handy that :)

Shame about some of the clashes though. Still, I bet I can elicit a murder attempt from some of my mates by telling them I'm torn between seeing Elvis Costello and Babyshambles :D

New Order, the Earlies and the Magic Numbers is irritating in the extreme... but I think it's going to have to be Barney and the boys. Babyshambles will be headlining the left field stage on sat (don't think it's on there), so I'll skip Coldplay (no great loss there) and see Elvis on Friday.

That's the rub, see. I used to be a train person myself but was turned by the hassle free operation of the coach service. You put your bag in a vehicle, sit in a (reserved!) seat, doze off and wake up right at the festival door. No changing to shuttle buses or standing in train corridors. I can't imagine the shuttle bus dropping you anywhere but the main bus 'station' at the festival though, that's a raw deal you got last time.

Right, apparently the card people have confirmed that I am a British citizen so hopefully that will arrive in the next day or two! :)

Time to get excited! :)

*starts fidgeting*

First Glastonbury, huh? Prepare to be blown away. Have an excellent time. I remember my first time. Words cannot describe how fantastic it was. And stay away from all those drug freaks. ;)
 
I'm excited

I'm *always* excited

I used to be known for being ludicrously excited :oops:

I haven't packed my clothes but I have some other stuff

doing the last of our shopping tonight (busy this weekend see, visitors and all that) and then hopefully thats us done

and quite frankly I can't fucking wait, I may go pop anytimes soon, I've already nearly been sick with excitement :oops:

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again more than I am about seeing bands n stuff

*fidgets at desk*

I just want to be setting off NOW not in a weeks time :(
 
I have no drugs :(

and no contacts with whom I can change this situation :rolleyes:

I will have lots of vodka and gin though :D they aren't drugs, they're essential food groups to me :D
 
No weather updates today, in terms of detail, until the forecasts sort themselves out.

Still (at this stage!) little chance of rain at all, but lots of uncertainty and conflict about how much cloud, how warm, etc.

Things are just now on a knife-edge, could go either way. Annoying, given how very positive prospects were as recently as yesterday!

:(
 
MY TICKET HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!




that is all.


this time next week i'll either be there, or well on my way. hurrah!
 
wow! I've just had an e-mail telling me my tickets are being dispatched today or tomorrow!

Wonder what those things that SMS delivered last week were then?
 
i didn't get an email at all. mine just showed up, delivered by postie via special delivery.

well allow me to cheer you up then son

:cool: (ish)
 
Cheers chegri, I'm feeling better now, thanks for that!

I'd just seen that net-weather jobbie just now, they'd posted the link on EFestivals, the new forecast (unexpectedly to this paranoid pessimist!) looks pretty damn good overall, with only the 'slight possibility' of some rain before the Festival starts (they don't say how much rain -- probaby minimal if it happens at all) . But they do only say SLIGHT! possibility ...

Here is the text of that forecast :

net-weather Glasto forecast said:
Glasto 2005 --- Not looking bad!

Well, we have good news! The picture generally hasn't changed much, and it seems like high pressure will settle over the festival - maintaining the dry weather we had previously forecast. Latest indications show that the festival will be dry from start to finish.

The latest models show high pressure throughout the period we have been studying, this means the weather should be fine and mostly dry although there is a slight possibility that there will be rain around two days before the festival starts, this could of course effect those who want to go early. Despite this, even if it does rain the sun following will be strong and so will dry the ground quickly.

Leading up to the festival it should stay mainly dry apart from the slight risk of rain mentioned above so the ground state should be firm. However the sun will be strong throughout the festival as it will be directly overhead on the 21st/22nd June.

Latest indications are also that it could well be quite warm over the few days, with temperatures between 19-23°C.

So keeping the pattern going, lots of dry and fine, warm weather expected with just the small chance on rain.




Glastonbury sun-burn rating (chance of hot weather):
60%

Glastonbury mud bath rating (chance of very wet weather):
20%


Next update, Friday 17th June

Anyone know how long it takes to get from the railway station to the site?
Click to expand...

There's the free bus shuttle (for ticket holders) from Castle Cary station to the site. I think the road it uses is kept clear of other traffic, but I may be out of date -- haven't done the bus from CC since 1998.

Should take about 30-40 minutes, assuming no traffic queues.
 
Ta for that. In which case I should be at the urbanites encampment sometime between 11 and 12.... :)
 
right i got my train ticket for midday thursday... so will try come to the cider bus in the eve. my gf's only managed to get a train ticket for 8pm on Thursday tho! i did say to book it sooner... so if anyone has an earlier lift on Thursday from London pm me!
 
YAY!! My boyfriend just got back from the PO Box clutching an exciting special delivery envelope which we just tore open to find 4 lovely shiny tickets! YAY!! :cool:
 
Does anybody else have the strange notion that the more often they refresh this thread, the quicker Glasto will come? Cos it's happening to me :)
