FieldOfAvalon Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) I'm as excited as the next man about Glastonbury and intend to go every year I can, but it strikes me that too many people here are literally wishing their life away for a total of 5 days a year. Obsessive chat in the lead up the festival, or after the festival - fine. But it's non-stop on here, all year round. People seem to literally LIVE for it. Is there nothing else worth living for? Life is so short. Don't wish it away... Edited October 25, 2016 by FieldOfAvalon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave Sir Robin Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 As I see it, your £200+ gets you 5 days on the Farm, but if you want it you also get 8 1/2 months of excitement, planning, wondering, listening, learning, hoping and conversation, including via this fine forum. I would say you should try it, FieldOfAvalon, but as is pointed out above... 8 minutes ago, SteveTLizard said: Says the man posting on a forum dedicated to Glastonbury 4 months after the last festival finished and 8 months before the next one starts. ... it seems you're already there.

gmb1992 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I don't really understand the point in your post? It's a forum on the internet, where people chat about a mutual love for something, it's nothing new, there's literally thousands of them on various subjects all over the web. Life's too short for negativity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonTom Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 Yes no one on here has any other hobbies or does anything else all besides work to pay for their Glastonbury ticket, you are quite correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richi1988 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 (edited) Speaking for myself here, (although I'm sure many others are the same) I find reading something of interest when a bit of spare time crops up, is a bigger nugget of fun for my mind than reading that Clare on fb forgot to put her bins out this morning. Just out of interest @FieldOfAvalon what do you like to do with your spare time? You know, just so we can judge you...

Doug85 Posted October 25, 2016 Report Share Posted October 25, 2016 I feel as though there is no point to this thread other than to antagonise the people of this fine forum. Its an internet forum about a mutual love of Glastonbury. Get over yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
