  1. Did anybody encounter this enigmatic duo at EoTR last year? We arrived early on Thursday, set up a tight circle of around 10 tents, and went off to make merry. On our return to Camp Blobby, we discovered despite the usual ample space in Larmer Tree's sweeping verdant fields, two tents had been set up right in the centre of our circle. It seemed a bizarre choice, with attention focused from all directions, and we speculated excitedly about who would choose such a pitch for the next four days. It wasn't until that evening that we met the unlikely duo that were Stephane – a genial Frenchman living in Dublin – and his taciturn, mostly mute sidekick, Grahame. Over the weekend that followed, there were only fleeting sightings of each – Stephane because he spent most of his time wobbling around the arena, cider in hand, and Grahame because he slept near constantly, all the while emitting a sound like a yak being butchered. There was no form of intervention that could interrupt the cacophonous grunting emerging from his canvas domain. We noticed on the few occasions he was upright, that Grahame wore a pair of comprehensively buggered black work shoes. It is my absolute belief that they were his sole footwear choice for the weekend. Our final glimpse of this idiosyncratic pairing was on Monday morning, as Stephane furiously shook Grahame's one-man tent and shouted "GRAHAME, YOU IDIOT, WAKE UP, WE HAVE TO GET TO THE AIRPORT. WE'RE GOING TO MISS OUR FLIGHT, YOU BASTARD". An hour later, all that remained were the two yellowed patches of grass where our momentary pals had set up camp. And the shoes. Nearly a year later, in idle moments, my mind drifts back to images of Stephane and Grahame. Did they really exist? Why did they camp in the middle of our circle? Did they make their flight? Is Grahame still wandering, barefoot, around Bristol airport? Will they be back this year?
  2. No this was Tixel yesterday. Under the heading Adult balance it said price £170, face value £165. If you look at the most recent sale you'll see it there - £170 for tier 4 adult balance. To me that suggested the price after a deposit, but surely anyone selling a ticket would want their deposit paying back too? Didn't make a lot of sense to me either...
  3. Hey all, I snoozed and missed out on tickets this year but am starting to consider an 11th hour Tixel purchase. What I don't understand is most of the tickets listed lately are being sold as an 'adult balance' for around £170. Presumably this is tickets bought via the payment plan, so minus the initial deposit? So is £170 the total you pay and the seller writes off their deposit? Or is there an additional fee to take into account ? Anyone know?
  4. Got a last minute ticket to this and heading up on my own Friday morning. First time at Bearded Theory, usually go to End Of The Road and Green Man these days after years as a Glastonbury regular. Quick question: my car is a VW Caddy, very small van. I have no intention of sleeping in it, and will have my tent with me, but the BT site states strictly no vans in the main car park. Anyone who's been before foresee this being a problem? Also, any tips on best camping areas to head for? Hoping to arrive around 9.30am on Friday, and need to collect guestlist accreditation on my way in, if that affects which areas best to target. Any other tips and advice gratefully received 🤗
  5. @Nick07 I have a buyer for one of your two tickets, although they want to go through official channels for track and trace etc. Do you know if there's a way to transfer a ticket directly through Twickets? Or do you need to return it to the pot and they join the scrum at 9.30am tomorrow with fingers crossed?
  6. Quick question - we sold our car since the last End Of The Road and have a little VW Caddy Maxi that we use as a camper and as our car. We're intending to drive it to EOTR but camp with our friends as normal in the standard camping area. Will we be ok to park our van in the regular car park using a standard parking ticket, or will we be expected to fork out £85 to park the van, even though we're not camping in it?
  7. Can confirm the Avonmouth vaccine centre is indeed doing walk-ins from 10-3 every week day, as long as you're at least 8 weeks from your first jab. They only have Pfizer. I turned up at 10 and was done by 10.15 😀
  8. Don't want to spam the thread, but I don't suppose anyone knows whether Bath Racecourse or Avonmouth vaccination centre are offering Pfizer walk-ins for over 40s at the moment? The information online is entirely contradictory. One part of the NHS website says both are offering walk-ins to anyone over 18 for first or second jab, another part of the site says only people with booked appointments should turn up. I'm already booked in for the mass vaccination site in Bristol next Tuesday – nine weeks after my first, but we're going on holiday the following morning and would prefer to avoid running the risk of having flu symptoms for the holiday, if it's fine for me to go to a walk-in centre. At the same time, don't want to do an hour's round trip and add to their workload unnecessarily if I shouldn't be going there.
