....anyone still got theirs on.

I ain't, cut off on the Monday, ten minutes after I got indoors.

But, on every Festival Forum, there's always some saddo who still wears their
wristband for Xmas Dinner!.......

Jings, almost 12 months.....!!!!!!!!

In the realms of saddoness, that takes some beating. Surely those horrible
recycled yak-hair things stink to high heaven by now.

Not PC - but I prefer the plastic ones my WIFE keeps from every Festival - and the programmes.
It's always interesting to realise that some act you now think is ace, you dismissed as 'not worthy' of even looking at years earlier. I blame the crap programme notes.

yeah i know . . . have so got to beat my record

at least i can keep this one cleaner . . . last year's one was difficult as it was in layers

last year i managed to get hold of Warren Ellis' wristband that he bit off and threw away . . . and yes i keep the programmes of everything i go to . . . i do try now to listen to the music beforehand if i have not heard of them before . . . am still listening to ETOR on last fm . . . is gonna be a long year

Keeping wristbands on is scummy, Fact.

Incidently, I was able to remove mine without cutting it by sliding the metal clampy bit to increase the girth of the roundy wristy bit. If that makes sense.
(Well it does in my drunken mind)

[UVSRichard]

still got mine on and it's still clean but then i do know what a shower is. i thought it would be a hoot to keep up with the fashions of todays youth by keeping mine on. you have to quickly burn the end to stop it fraying.

[GeordieMartin]

I still wear all 4 of mine

....so you're the other bloke that's been to all four - I thought I recognised you from EOTR No.1.

Remember, just the TWO of us at the Burger Van, The Tea Shack, The Bar, The Main Stage - oh what fun we had......

[wolfamongwolves]

mine came off on the way back home from eotr.

I could never decide whether keeping festival wristbands on was cool or not, but i've got the last two latitude wristbands on and my glastonbury one still. I'm going to three (maybe four) festivals this year so by end of the road i might look a bit silly if i decide to carry on keeping these on...
