Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[phildwyer]

You're a cock, and I claim my pint of scrumpy.

You're a gnome and I claim my free toadstool.

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Are you sleeping in that then?

Only in an emergency

Any sign of your tickets yet ed?

I'm going to glasto, you're not, and I claim I couldn't give a fuck

 

[FunkyUK]

55Kg? chirst, I thought my uberdome was heavy at 25 - is it a proper canvas job?

Mostly Nylon, but steel poles....

At least the ground will be nice and soft whan it comes to malletting in the tent pegs

[Sunspots]

No rain so far today........................

Still dry in Bristol, but not so sunny now, and there's a bit of a breeze just picking up.

There's rain on the way, I can feel it in me cows! 4pm over Glastonbury, I reckon...

[J77]

The bbc give a -- ahem -- comprehensive summary...

 

[boing!]

out of interest does anyone know what the deal is with nos nowdays? is it legal to possess/ sell?

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Oh yes

Cool, see you at the cider bus tomorrow then

 

[MsShirlLaverne]

I have an 85L rucksack

I have a lot of carrier bags

 

[Voley]

It's bloody lashing it down here at the mo' and the forecast for the rest of the week's atrocious.

Still wish I was going though ...

possession is legal, selling without a licence is illegal, IIRC.

 

[Skim]

I want some hippy crack now

 

[sojourner]

Oh yes

!! So where was the big fanfare eh?!

Nice one

 

[Skim]

In the absence of William or Joe Bastardi, let me give you the latest forecast, even though we should take it with a very big pinch of salt:

A mixed bag, but not a washout

I like the sound of 18c personally

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Do you want me to see if I can track down a rucksack for you? I can ask around my mates here...

No rain tomorrow when our tents go up, which is the only important thing really

Cheers Skim

I honestly don't think it's gonna be as bad as we thought you know

That's it... the rest is a doddle.

This is my first Glasto with decent walking boots and waterproofs (and something decent to sleep on) so it'll feel quite luxurious. Not like the year when I hobbled around in a pair of trainers a size too small rolleyes and had wet jeans sticking to my legs the whole weekend.
