Glastonbury 2007 pt2: the festie!

[rich!]

Now that I've heard Richie Havens cancelled (or failed to turn up?) I feel much less bad about missing being near enough to go to him ...

BUT THEY STILL HAD HIM IN THE PROGRAMME!!!!1!

*grr*

Answer : force yourself to want to do Glastonbury, and it's all cool

You just might get a little bit frustrated if we had a dry Glasto next year, you know, how you like it, with three quarter cloudy and just gently sunny at times, and nice 19C** temps ...

**Or not too far above that

Last minute cancellation? Does anyone know?


Yeah, tis annoying, but at least you were near one of the best beer tents

 

[Lisarocket]

I've been going for a long time, has it done me SO much harm??

don't answer that

And you've just discovered the joys of the circus tent, so you'll have to go back next year

 

[pinkmonkey]

Theres an outside chance I might go next year. A friend of a friend runs a food stall there - turns out they were trying to get hold of us to see if we wanted to work there. I've told them to assume 'yes' next time. The friends of mine that go to work always have a ball. Although my mates husband is a mental nurse and volunteers there, I wonder if he spends the entire festy trying to talk peeps down from their bad trips?

[gets started]
Don't get me started on that. They had TWO beers. TWO. That's not a beer tent - that's a bad day in a supermarket
[/started]

Still, last year Eastern Haze had a good line of ales... got that to look forward to ... mind you, being in East Anglia, we'll probably get swept away by the sea

nah dont take my comedown too seriously

i was lonely, staring at my feet meant i missed a lot of people and i never really had a night out to enjoy myself but i enjoyed the experience overall, the rain and the mud were a bit much but thursday night was magic across site (why do we need music again?) and i saw a lot of very jolly people, i just didnt know any of them.

what she said. I'm being grumpy but steadily feeling more positive about Glastonbury 2007. Fuck it, it's better than work, I took drugs in a field with some top people and camping with your best mates is aces

Looked for the Q review today in Smiths, couldn't find it

Hope aqua comes next year, it'd be less good without her.

They had two beers when we got our first pint, and one of them was wherry so it didn't count.

by the time we got the second pint they were down to wherry.

all that walking.... *shakes fist*

All my dreads now have names

Oh, and apologies to your other half for when he wandered up to me and I completely blanked him. Thousand-yard-stare or something.

I bet he didn't even notice!

I hope you can remember the dread names! Youmay have to undergo a test..

the tudor team (mh staff) in FMS are great, i've taken several people to them and had them out to people in previous years and they have dealt with every eventuality with a calm smile.

all i could find was the one with arctic monkeys on it which given its dated as july is the wrong one?

mind you we were in the clifton smiths

How do people get into this, is it just staff from local hospitals?
My best mate is a psychiatric nurse and she wants to work there.

The "I ... was ... just ... talking ... to ... you ... over ... there...." was a bit of a give-away, I think

*shudder*

Anyway, Jared and Celeste have had a falling-out

I'm not going to socialise with you if you're going to frequent places like Clifton

There's a regular issue of Q, with Glasto CD giveaway. It's not that one.

 

[paolo]

It went far too quickly though - next time, it's Wednesday by hook or by crook!

This was my first time going on Wednesday... and it's sooo nice. There's a fantastic atmosphere, but much more chilled than the days ahead - in a good way.

The calm before the storm. This year, quite literally.

 

[pagan]

everyone knows about the stickers being bastards to remove someones car failed it MOT once cos they had stuck it inthe middle of the window and it wouldn't come off

That was me. It was behind the mirror and everything but they failed me on it

 

[pagan]

was that at the entrance to the kids field? i saw the same thing happen there.

No. it was in Babylon. I'm sure I'm not the only one

i did glasto '98, '99, 2000 with FMS and reading '99 and i think she should definately get in touch with them they have a great team spirit and secure camping, feeding etc.

A belated thank you

Bees thank you very much for helping me out in my hour of need, I appreciated that a lot.

Aqua you paid me the greatest compliment "you're the biggest cunt on the boards but really nice in real life" You're gorgeous.

Skim it was a a real pleasure to meet you.

nosos (bloody students) you're a good ole boy. You may not remember but I took you back to my mates camp, you passed out fairly quickly, lost you bearings and tried getting in bed with my mate and his girlfriend it took some mediation from me to convince you it wasn't your tent and to calm my shocked mate down. fair play

Bus, I hope your finger is ok.

William you're a star but I wish you'd tunrn that bloody head lamp off when talking to me

All in all my brief urbanite interlude was luverly.

I hope you all well [/being soft]

 

[aqua]

was just wicked to spend the wed with you mate, shame we couldn't get hold of you/bump into you again though - I think we owe you some nos

 

[DrRingDing]

My wednesday turned from to when I met you.

Fuck the nos spread the love.

 

[aqua]

oh stop being nice you're supposed to be a cunt

Seriously?????

 

[aqua]

Seriously?????

pmsl

 

[nosos]

Did you eventually chuck me into Bee's tent or did I imagine that?

 

[nosos]

My memory of wednesday night post hippy drumming circle is somewhat vague...

 

[DrRingDing]

Did you eventually chuck me into Bee's tent or did I imagine that?

This particular mate wasn't too tolerant of people jumping inot bed with his gf and was getting a bit shocked and hot under the collar.

...and yes I took you back to bees's tent

 

[nosos]

Anyway I can't quite remember hanging out with you but you left a good impression. I made the same "cunt on a boards" comment Aqua made about you to a fair number of people for the rest of the festival.
