Glastonbury 2005

[Riff]

Right I'm off dahn sahth. If anyone needs a Noika to be charged, bring along a 9v square battery and I'll supply the keyring gizmo.

(Will charge phones for cider )

 

[Looby]

Ooooooooh, I'm so excited I feel sick.

Sent nathansears to get me some cola so I can have a relaxing rum and coke to calm me down.

Could have the opposite effect though, I might have to put The Levellers on and dance round the room.

Finally got Master Felixthekitten to dig out his clothes and put his phone on charge! I'm getting all over excited and he's like 'calm down dear, its only Glastonbury'. If the little shit was anymore laid back he'd be horizontal .

I'm also getting all excited about meeting other urbanites!

 

[Looby]

hey, see you tomorrow chuck

Look forward to it.

Where is irrelevant. People can and do die in such circumstances,(especially when pissed and/or stoned).

That happen often at Glastonbury, then?

 

[Giles]

In pouring rain without waterproof clothing and only wearing a minimal amount or ordinary clothing unconsiousness in 1/4 of an hour is normal.
Some military personnel are subjected to such soakings as part of survival training, it is so dangerous that medical services are always close at hand.

Yeah, but I'll bet that they use water (and do it in air temperatures) a good deal colder than we are likely to encounter at Glastonbury in June.

Giles..

 

[Looby]

When it pisses down it tends to drop the temperature more than just a tad. Wearing oilskins is not that mad in those circumstances. It is very easy to get into deep shit survivalwise if you are caught outside in pouring rain without waterproofs. (Like unconscious in 1/4 of an hour and dead within 1 and 1/2 hours or less)

Toby, don't mean to be rude but every post I read from you is warning peeps of something. You're like the bloody angel of doom.

Yes people probably will be silly and not look after themselves, they might even roll around in the mud (that won't be there coz it will be sunny) but most are grown-ups and know when they are too cold, too hot, too drunk, too mashed or indeed far too sober.

You really are very negative-chill out.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

just done all the essential shopping: 4 litres of vodka, half litre of southern comfort,

Make sure you decant all that into plastic bottles....

Err, we'll be at Glastonbury in the middle of summer surrounded by thousands of people, not on Dartmoor in the bleak mid winter.

We're dooooooomed, I tell ya!

[belboid]

what's this about all glass bottles being banned? am igoing to have to decant my vodka??!!

 

[Shirl]

I'm sitting here all packed and practising my cider drinking

 

[Gerry1time]

ok, last minute paranoia. Only got tickets delivered today, and despite what i'd read earlier it doesn't list passports as an acceptable form of photo ID on the back of the ticket. Am i going mad here, or can we not use passports? otherwise we're completely stuck...

 

[binka]

glass bottles are banned. i took glass vodka bottles last year and no one checked my bag on the way in. you're better off putting it in a plastic bottle tho.

im using my passport as id, someone mentioned earlier in this thread that they will accept a passport, they just didnt publicise it so as not to encourage everyone to bring them. im putting mine in property lockup as soon as i get there.

[Wyn]

Woohoo getting really excited now I've been doing some last minute shopping and bought the kids water pistols (I'm sure I'm going to regret this )
My living room is trashed; in true mum mode I'm sure I've packed far more than needed but hopefully I'm gonna be able to get it all in the car and then to the campsite.

BTW does anyone know if you can get ice on site?

your space bar fucked ??

I'm excited just in case anyone was worried - I've done my packing, said bye to my plants and resisted *testing* the gin

see you all tomorrow

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Don't take glass, it breaks and hurts the cows....


See you all tomorrow

 

[kropotkin]

ok- just realised something potentially shite.

My passport and driving licence are registered at my parents address, but my tickets are regstered to my current address. I have utility bills as well tohugh- do you think I'll be OK (i.e. I can prove i am who i say i am).

I leave tomorrow after work, so if not: i'm fucked

 

[Wolfie]

....

BTW does anyone know if you can get ice on site?

apparently the only place you can get ice is one or two of the back stage bars

I'll be alright then

see you all tomorrow

are we meeting up at that horrid cider bus again? if so, what time?

 

[pennimania]

QUOTE]

I know the feeling

probably packed the kids entire wardrobe but will leave most of it in the car and go for it if needed.

Think I have nearly finished - even mended the lanterns- need to sleep - don't know if I can

I doubt it'll be a problem, if you can prove you live there (with utility bills) I doubt they're going to be arsey about the address. They prolly won't even check everyone's ID anyway

LEAVING TOMORROW

 

[belboid]

(yes.my.spacebar.is.fucked!)

Cool. Still taking wellies though.

And yes, I'm posting again. Packing is dull.

Don't have any wellies meself, will buy some if it becomes absolutely necessary.

 

[Lord Camomile]

I am also packing my wellies. They take up half of my rucksack and everything else is now going to smell of rubber but I'm taking them.

Everything's pretty much packed but my Dad now wants me to buy my tickets to Greece for the summer because the longer I wait the pricier they'll get

Shit, must remember my ticket....
