I have a lot of time for you rocketman, I come from plenty of the same space as you, and no real offence intended in my reaction to the above, but that post above really is the most rocket-high explosion of intergalactical bollocks about Glasto that that I've ever read ...
See you in the pub soon mate
for a nice lightly contentious debate over a nice beer ...

I agree with this relaxation of ticket buying rules in principle.
But I have to say that I am slightly concerned abiut how that change might (??
??) adversely affect single people applying on their own though -- might not the bigger groups monster all the tickets first??? Reassure me.
J77 said:I can't be arsed anymore.
It's a shame and makes me feel a bit sad
But, fuck 'em
I hope you're still reading this thread, J77, because, like Tort, I urge you to rethink. We NEED old schoolers, dissenters, dissidents and grumbly old anarcho-counterculture types to continue to come -- and for them to grumble and whinge as vociferously as possible over a good natured cider and a fat spliff about how much it's all changed so much so for the worst. And about how it's not as good as it used to be in 'the good old days'
. While also (and inevitably) having the best time of their lives -- yet again, for the 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th or 14th time or more ... . As ever!
Don't leave it all to them newbies ..... and it's going to be hot this year. Guarenteed!
And I'd like to meet you as well. See you at some other festie maybe?

Reassure me.
Can't! Lets put it in simplistic primary school mathematical terms for you shall we.
Let's just say that Mr Manic Organic has 10 falafels left & there are 10 customers in the queue. Customer 1 & Customer 2 are having a party with all their veggie mates & want to buy as many falafels as they can but Mr Manic Organic says "No! Fair's fair, you can only have 2 each". So that leaves one falafel each for customers 3,4,5,6,7 & 8 but then all the falafels have gone so customer 9 & customer 10 have to make do with flapjacks from Mr Tiny Teas instead.
The next day the same thing happens again. 10 falafels, 10 customers. Again customer 1 & customer 2 want to get their greedy mud caked paws on as many falafels as they can & this time Mr Manic Organic isn't quite so strict & allows them 4 each. So now there are only 2 falafels left for the remaining 8 customers. And horror of horrors the Tiny Teas Tent burnt down overnight so there is no fall back option for the unlucky 6.
Now lets imagine that Customer 5 is one Lord William of Walworth. Under scenario A Lord William gets his falafel & is very satisfied with his purchase as it is the best falafel he has ever tasted. Happy days!
But under scenario B he goes HUNGRY!!!

Ah come on, most of it was hot and sunny last time, before and after the admittedly lengthy deluge-dominated spell
This June, we'll be spared the 5 hour torrent ... I think
Thanks Tort and William.William of Walworth said:
I'm sure it will be hot this year! The first I'll have missed since I was 15's bound to be a dry one!
I'll still get nervously excited as the fateful weekend approaches
, but this photo thing's not for me and is something which I never thought I'd see. Still, probably enough discussion on that elsewhere...We're thinking of going to Lowlands here in Holland this year - though I'm a bit concerned it might be a bit Reading/V like, with lots of muso kids
Maybe in the summer I'll hook up with some friends over your way and do one of these things like the BGG or similar, we'll see.
Jesus christ! I've just rang about so-called 'special rates' for hiring a campervan, and it's nearly a fucking grand!!! Special rates me arse! I realllly don't wanna be stuck in a tent if it floods again, and I quite like it up on the campervan field *wimp city*
Sigh - wonder how much a trailer tent is to hire...mine's completely fucked now otherwise I'd try and resurrect it

Is there anywhere on site you could actually put one up? Would they be allowed in the camper field?sojourner said:

Just get in a tent you bloody lightweight
Noohooooohoooo!!! It's too hot if it's hot, it's too wet if it pours, I won't get any kip, the bogs on the camperfields are infinitely preferable to the tenty fields, I'll never find the fucking thing at night (or in the day for that matter), and my only tent is rotting away in the garagebeesonthewhatnow said:Just get in a tent you bloody lightweight
Have mercy on me!! I'm middle-bloody-aged now! I know I sound like the biggest fuckin whinger in the world but I can't help it! (oh, and before you say ANYTHING william, shut it! I know how old you are!)
J77 said:
Think either Endore It In Dorset (mid August) or Solfest (August Bank Holiday wekend, at the eend of August). Or maybe Beautiful Days?? (inbetween the other two)?? Or an August tour of ALL of them?
All three are excellent for likers of more 'old school'/smaller events. Tort and I are going to all of em. Can tell you more about any or all, if you wish ...
I'll save it to Hebden ... you have been warnedsojourner said:
