Top tip for preferrers of clean toilets. Train your bowel cycle to coincide with a visit immediately after the shit waggons have been round. The toilets have been emptied and are all clean and antiseptic then!
Lovely!

Ticket money has STILL not left my account. But neither has the £60= I authorised on Thursday to pay for my Solfest ticket, so I reckon Bank Hoiliday related delays.
I'm not worrying!

I know, and I mentioned it earlier too, but I wasn't sure whether the Bank Holiday thing also applied to Banking systems or not ...

Generally yes, most big finance places need the 4-day-long Easter weekend to do big system upgrades and suchlike, so the normal stuff is often not running.
The problem with hovering William is you end up with several days worth of raw sewerage splashing up your gaping sphincter. There's no real polite way of putting it. You end up with shit and piss all over your arse. Worse still you end up with it all over the back of your legs - that happened to me 
Anyway, we'll be there on the Tuesday - the toilets don't really get bad until the Friday. Even then there's worse things to be afraid of at festivals. Getting stuck talking to some really friendly but nauseatingly rich pseudo hippies seems to be my speciality or befriending the only person with serious mental health issues, pissed out of his skull, asking me to say "day 24 in the big brother house" or "byker grove" seems to be the latest

Teeps will be alright, she's hard as nails

William of Walworth said:I so much agree with pretty much all of this.
Like others I've posted before about the decline of the DIY/bring what you want to find Glasto culture in more recent times. The first Camp Urban, in 2002, tried to revive a bit of that and worked very wellbut that was down to applied enthusiasm and energy from several old schoolers and to free spirit joining in full on, and helping us out ...
The Green Fields as you say retain many elements of disorganised sponteneity -- not nearly as much as once, but still enough for an old Glasto veteran fart like me to celebrate the fast that this behemoth called Glastonbury has not become totally corporate, not become an identikit festival, still remains a massive class apart from the fully branded mega fests ...
Dub once commented here on a past Glasto thread along the lines that the big names on the main stages, and the commercial, audience attracting, ticket pressure increasing appeal of those, and the corporate sponsorship creeping round the edges in the main market and main stage areas, was the price you paid for keeping the whole thing going.
Sometimes that price was hateful, like the prominence given to the now thankfully SACKED Budshiter. Sometimes the price was a lot more welcome anyway -- we all love the odd big name even if we tell ourselves it's all vibe not lineup. All this is the subsidy the Festival has accepted compromises for, the subsidy that allows the Green and 'alternative' and the 'what's going on in that little tent over there'-type areas to continue and thrive ....
Many might be unhappy with these compromises, but realism makes many old schoolers like pagan and me and newbie* and others, reluctantly accept that the Festival as it had become by 2000, was unsustainable without both the introduction of the Superfence (without which Glastonbury would never have had been granted a licence ever ever again!), AND the introduction of more money and better organisation to pay for/cover better safety, better facilities, less crime, etc.
*he isn't ...
Glastonbury is the biggest city in Somerset for well over a week in June, bigger than Bath. It's like no other city overall, but all the same, like other cities, it has bad bits and good bits and which bits are bad and which good will never be 100% agreed on from one festie goer to the next.
It's the city I know just about best in life, but the one in which I still find something new to see, hear, say, do and be, every time ...
So bring it all the fuck on and have the most fun you can and the best week's holiday of 2007 whichever bit is your favourite bit
ETA in keeping with that last bit, I now appreciate I'm agreeing with both newbie and pagan who disagree with each other ... that's Glasto!!!
Amen to that!

Check it out firks. There's no way that you'll be able to get in before 10 am the Wednesday unless you have specific arrangements to be working or whatever ...
