My first year in Tipi Village & can't wait, but also a bit nervous there won't be the same atmosphere as rest of Pennard Hill where I usually camp.
-
My mate is going because her husband won 2 hospitality tickets a couple of weeks ago (he works for EE in Newcastle and it was a sales incentive)
Couldn't believe it after the stress I go through every year getting all my mates tickets!

How do you find out the other times that coaches are leaving?
I know there won't be as many going back to Cambridge as there are for other places so don't want to risk it for a biscuit!
-
we're on the 6:30am back to Cambridge & it's going to kill me! Very tempted to just leave it and hope for the best as I'm sure there'll be loads of people not bothering to get their coach back. I wouldn't steal someone's seat if the coach was full either. I'm not a total bell.

5htp taken a few hours before intended bedtime works nicely, espically if your an anxious person. It's brilliant stuff, google it
I will second this. Works a treat for me, as well as stopping come downs too
-
Apparently 5HTP is not available legally in Ireland cause it was found in Legal Highs sold in Head Shops here
It was a trace of it, but it doesn't have any capabilities of making you high. It has a mile less Serotonin in it than a low level anti depressant. It's just designed to help combat sleep problems and very mild depression. I don't think Holland & Barrett have started branching out into the legal high market quite yet!

Really interested in testing 5-HTP. I suffer with awful anxiety and low mood swings the day(s) after both drinking and taking the naughty stuff so anything that can help this would be great!
Is it something I can take sporadically, i.e. if I took it the day after a heavy one would I feel any benefit, or would I need to have been regularly taking it beforehand to reap the benefits?
I take it regularly as it helps my sleep patterns, but I used to just take it either just before going to bed or the next morning and it seemed to stop me getting really anxious and depressed. I can deal with headaches, sickness etc but hate feeling like that. There's a link a couple pages back to the ones I get from Amazon. Best if u remember to take them before bed
-
so this 5HTP stuff are there any negative side effects?
I'm definitley considering it
I've never had any, it's just herbal really. Cheapest and best I've found is on Amazon as they're not very cheap in general. Don't get from Holland and Barrett as charge a fortune and they're half strength.
Ever since starting them, I might have a headache still, but never get really depressed and anxious the next day like I used to, and if I feel mentally ok, I can take on anything else!
Plus stops you not coming up the next night (like filling up the tank with happy juice)
I get these ones.....

How much do you take and when do you take it? Don't some people take it before before bed to aid sleep? Surely it's not a good idea to take it on a morning if that's the case? I get pretty bad comedowns off heavy boozing, so was thinking about giving this a whirl.
When you have certain 'party medication' shall we say, it releases the serotonin stored in your brain, and 5HTP replaces it, so you can take it at anytime really as long as you don't have too much over the course of a day. I normally take it first thing when I wake up if I forget before bed (but before bed is better). I'm not a doctor but this is from research I have done. Always works a treat for myself and festie mates.
It also means your brain has serotonin ready for your next dosage the next night (you may have experienced it when you take something 2 nights in a row and it just doesn't work, this is because you have no serotonin left to release)
Again, I'm probably not explaining this completely correctly, but it's a gist!
-
If it's not just alcohol you've had, some 5-HTP (fuck, even works for alcohol, don't overdo it prior to taking anything though - serotonin syndrome isn't fun) works wonders. Don't get it from Holland & Barrett, there's people on ebay who are far cheaper.
I live on this stuff at festivals. Stops you getting 'the fear' majorly! I get the double strength stuff on Amazon. Changed my festival life!
-
okay, excluding ket or any other type of drugs, when would you recommend drinking/eating etc. to prolong the night?
Avoid complex carbohydrates such as chips and bread.
jerk chicken and rice or something along those lines would be ok (rice doesn't bog you down like complex carbs do)
- apologies in advance for the sensible response. I won't be following my own advice, I'll be tweaked to fuck all weekend, but happy to give it out
-
Very valid point.
I remember necking a cartoon of the Tesco rose to then spew it all over one of the bars in fabric after I had a shot of tequila. I had to leg it & hide in a corner & lost my mates for a while. Dark dark times.
Hahaha, that'll probs be down to necking it rather than the Tesco 'vintage'
-
Mate, that stuff is minging.
I thought it wasn't at all bad for the price! Especially if you freeze the bottles and keep it cold. I will be mainly taking red though as I tend to be ok the next day from it, plus it's nice warm.
Anything after the 2nd glass tastes the same anyway
-
I always take wine but don't like taking boxes (personally after one of those silver bladder things leaked red wine all over my bag)
I then took the Tesco Value Wine that came in litre cartons, because it was easier to carry round wth a screw top, and wasn't at all bad as well as being dirt cheap. They've now stopped selling this.
If anyone is as much of a cheap skate as me, you can get Sainsburys basics wine in plastic wine bottles and again it's not all bad at all. It also means you can carry it round easier with a screw top, and freeze the bottles beforehand to keep it cooler for longer. £3.45 a bottle too - saving my dosh to get a few cool beers instead of taking cans
-
I'll try and pop along with my newbie mate.
We'll be a train wreck by that point, but it'll be nice to put some faces to names!
-
I don't arrive until late due to my coach time leaving (can this be changed?) so that feeling will soon become that drunk feeling pretty quickly. I cannot wait.
If it's the coach ticket packages then no unfortunately.
we have the same issue coming back. our coach is 6:30am so it's going to be a stay up job i reckon
-
Ah man, reading all of these has set off butterflies in my stomach and goosebumps on my arms so bad!
I prattle on day after day at work about the place and everyone just nods, so thank god I have these threads to remember there are people out there who understand why I am so obsessed with the place.
I'm getting the coach this year for the first time (really looking forward to it) but I used to drive every year from Newcastle, and used to love getting to the service stations and getting excited with everyone else who'd stopped off.
Best place on the planet bar none. I'd happily swap a fortnight 5 star holiday in the Bahamas for a ticket each year

I stand corrected

You might like this by Axis of Awesome (if you haven't already seen it)Just checking ..... this is the Headliners thread right?????
But while I'm here - GoT books are great, TV series is nonsense.

Game of Thrones is awesome. You can form and opinion and say that you don't like it, but to say it's shit is (in my opinion) complete nonsense.
Totally agree it's a fab show, and there's bot all else on telly atm, but shows we desperately need this potential news this week.
Fingers crossed!

Come back on here and we've moved onto GoT?
Dear lord..... We need news this week!

RODNEY BRANIGAN - He usually plays Small World Stage on Wed or Thu. Great introductory dose of 'music' on the first few days before the weekend begins. Terrific showman and cracking bloke. Btw he also sings and he often plays a really cool rendition of Kanye West's Golddigger and Radiohead's Creep.

Shouldn't really share this bloke cos that wee tent can get packed but I'm sure you'll appreciate. Pick up some tasty grub from Green Fields area, sit down and enjoy.
Oooooo very excited at the suggestion for the Wed/Thurs!! Thank you huni xx

I love a bit of Hot Chip. I randomly met Al Doyle at Glasto at about 3am last year - bloody nice bloke.
Tim, nice but dim reference??
