  1. Will try for tickets but missing out does not hold much fear this time around. I’ve done 2017, 2019 & 2023 and enjoyed the first two much more than this year. There is no festival like Glasto but this years line up was poor for my tastes, and of the few acts I wanted to see there were clashes. That, along with being cooked out of my tent at 8am made it less fun for this 50yo who needs a bit of a lie in when staying up until the early hours!

    Did Ynot a couple of weeks ago and line up and being far less crowded made it not far off Glasto for enjoyment for me.

    I really fear a wet Glasto - I’ve only done those dry years and it seems very crowded. Really not sure how it (or me) would cope in a wet year.

    You mean Brooklyn Pilsner (Festival Edition)? Not even the real Brooklyn Pils, let alone the 'classic' Brooklyn Lager.

    Didn't bother in the end

    What even was it really?  Just rebadged Carlsberg?  I bought some Brooklyn Lager before the festival to try and didn't like it much but the stuff at the festival tasted nothing like what I had tried

    Also completed the Leeds 10k today. Very warm conditions and a bit hilly in parts but such great fun!

    Well done.  Yeah - coming round a bend in the 9th K and seeing that long hill was a bit of a kicker!

  5. This day last year I got taken into hospital with gallstones and jaundice, spent 5 days there and missed Glasto.

    Today I just smashed 5 mins off my PB in Leeds 10k. Having a beer and about to start packing for Glasto.

    Feeling pretty f**king good!

  6. Better than EE, not as good as the unofficial Glasto App. Although if it ran a bit smoother and gave the choice of must see/might see it would be better. They have a week or so for updates so here’s hoping.

    Changed slightly - Blur are playing Dublin on Saturday and The Weave are playing Dublin on Sunday (was originally Friday, been moved today).

    Interesting - a gig date is not just moved for no reason.  Puts Blur in the mix too.

  8. The Twitter account was followed by GF official account, and Foo Fighters official account yesterday.  Today it has also been followed by Pulps official account.  Plus a few new tweets and the pics have changed which means nothing to me but some clever efester must understand.  Yesterdays tweets were FF references, I guess todays are Pulp?  In which case it is just trolling us!

    After nearly two weeks the gout seems to be slowly calming down....today is the first day I can walk easily since the attack happened on 10th May....still getting the odd twinge here and there this morning but nothing that's impacting how I walk.

    Just pray it doesn't flare up again on the farm!

    I feel for you. I had gout a couple of years ago. Take daily meds now and haven’t had it since. Seafood (shellfish) and not drinking enough water seemed to trigger if for me. Never had it at Glastonbury but if you get that warning tingle an attack is on the way drink loads of water. My Doc gave me indometacin tablets as well when I had flare ups and they would help quickly, or even prevent it getting bad if taken early enough.

    Wonder what they are doing here - is that where the Tipis usually are?

    Started just after lunch yesterday and now well across the field.

    There has been a bit of trench digging around the site.  Maybe for extra mobile masts for Vodafone?

    The system couldn’t be fairer. It’s that simple. 
     

    I think they’ve finally nailed it. Even if that makes it harder. 

    It could be too simple. Hope I’m wrong but can see someone designing an app and renting some server capacity to sell tries now there’s no payment. That could mess it up.
