As far as I can make out (technical hitches aside), the sale times are basically down to how quick SEE and the festival want it to be. Last year's resale was quicker because you didn't have to enter payment details. Also, the line-up wasn't late, it was the earliest it has ever been.

OK, so maybe forgotten about was a stretch 😁 But it was a close one, one that would be difficult to say for sure with the naked eye, and like may of them, they may still get brought up but it doesn't come close to the rage about a goal that the officials actually said was good but then didn't give anyway.

Worth noting that without VAR, the f**k up in the Spurs v Liverpool game wouldn't have happened. The linesman would have gone with offside, Liverpool fans would have bitched and moaned about it but ultimately, without all the line drawing bollocks, it would have just been "one of them" and would probably now be forgotten about.

It's a play on the tweet below, something most people who don't follow football wouldn't be aware of. NFFC are feeling a little cheated, and have reacted like a 13 year old fan account. Or someone responding to the Glastonbury sold out tweet, whichever takes your fancy. But anyway, no. It's not real.

Felt the opposite for us. 5 groups in the main sale but none of us managed to grab tickets for the 2 remaining people in the resale.

Without digging into it too much, if we get more than 1 between now and the end of the month, we'll be a little ahead of schedule. We had the three early ones last time, then they started coming thick and fast from the 29th onwards.

One song from it, yes. Apparently Whispering Bob's favourite set.

Talking of which, here's Craig David.

I've learned Calvin Harris played the JP tent with actual musicians and he sang. The song was still sh*t, but still...

She's won a competition to appear on Bread & Roses.

Not good, is it? As is often the case, this may have nothing to do with those actually at the top of the festival chain, but whatever has happened, it doesn't look good.

Another Tony's gone.

Plus this is only the 3rd time there has been a mid resale announcement.

Working through the acts so far, I happened across D-Block Europe, utilising an auto tune to levels that actually made me feel queasy to listen to it. I thought that had to be the low point, even on a bill contraining Anne-Marie and comedy dance troupe Confidence Man, but then I remembered Faithless were all set to draw a massive crowd to a sh*t stage by somehow pumping out massive turds stored on a USB.

Pennard Hill Farm.

Yep, just seen that. Marvellous stuff. 6 tickets to one person is quite the prize, no doubt very popular with his mates now.

Sign said Hot and Spicy. I'd argue Tabasco is not hot and demand a rerun

Just seen @cb4747 getting off the tube.

Are you expecting this year's Pyramid decoration to be a pair of boobs?

Yep, they're in Turin on Saturday night.

I got one of these last year, works a treat and fits mine and both my sons' airbeds which are all different. https://amzn.eu/d/epwFSDT

Bit London centric, innit?

Lots of recommendations in this thread.
