    Yes good point..... probably pre-70's then, possible early 60's when he would have been early 20's.  I'll ask him.

    JOE 1 would have been issued sometime in the mid to late 1930s

    Is there another active band (ever) that hasn’t released an album (of original new music) for as long as the Stones…18 years? We should expect the forthcoming one to be at least halfway decent.

    Slowdive had a 22 year gap between their third and fourth albums

    This presents me with a dilemma - I have been using the same photo since photos were first required, I now consider it my 'lucky photo'  - if I update it will my ticket streak end? Anxiety!

     

    But in a more serious note, it looks like they are pruning the database, so if you don't confirm your account, you'll need to make a new one

     

    But don't get caught out, do it today!

    This weather is really messing with my fitness training given that I predominantly walk and the weather is just too awful to walk 

    Fingers crossed it gets better soon! Hate wasting Summer days inside and annoyingly you end up eating more through boredom. 

    same here, hardly done any distance this month due to the wind or rain or most recently, both. I don't mind so much cycling in light rain, but horizontal downpours, not so much.

    Very keen to give Lost Horizon a crack. (I'm already thinking about 2023!) Are the saunas/showers separated by gender?

    No, it's a line of generally four cubicles, with one being for sauna users only, just one queue.

    Took us all day to get out of Campervans east, ready to go at 11am, didn't get out until gone 5. Marshalls said there was a number of broken down vehicles on the narrow lanes causing the tailbacks. 

    same here, packed up at 11am, moved about 10m then stopped until 4pm.

    I have no concrete evedence of this, but as when I finally got moving, all the other camper fields I went through were empty, it seems like there may have been less trafic control than normal - i.e. last year I set of at the same time and was out on the main road by 12pm, but who knows - I had a book to read and snacks, and nowhere particular to be in a hurry 🙂

  7. My 'move at least 10km a day' plan that I've been doing since January certainly paid off - I had no problems over the whole long weekend, bar a few blisters, I walked about 85 miles too. Multiple trips back and forth from east camper, the hill felt noticably less steep 🙂

     

    But I can do better! I'd like to do the same next year, but be less chubby as well 😄

     

    So I'm going to continue with the cycling as for as long as the light evenings last then go back to walking over winter.

    I'm currently 11st8 (and short)

    aiming for 10st something

    For a guaranteed ticket, no stress of ticket day, I wouldn't think twice about paying the £850-£1000 people have mentioned on here. 

    Its a much better weekend than a holiday abroad. 

    same, I don't go on holiday anywhere else - glastonbury is my week away from work, which I budget for over the year.

  9. In all the years I've been, this certainly feels like the best one I've ever had 🙂

     

    1: weather - I love it when it's hot

     

    2: met up friends and made new friends

     

    3: all my fitness training seemed to pay off - I managed at least 3am every night and didn't flag during the day, eating well and drinking lots of water as well as beers kept me going

     

    4: Foo Fighters!

     

    5: happy people - I also felt the vibe was nicer, I didn't see any aggro or angry mashed up people

     

    6: subjectivly nicer food - it's annoying when you pay £9 for a wrap and it's sh*t, but this year everything I at was really good 🙂

     

    7: The Levels - glad I avoided spoilers - I audibly gasped when I first saw it - epic!

     

    8: another vote for co-op - cool juice for my thermos flask thing, god send

     

    9: busy but not too busy, everywhere I went, I got the amount of space I was happy with - even in the big crowds exiting places, everyone seemed to be playing ball, no pushing

     

    and at the top

    10/10  - the amazing lady (thats the only info I have) that found my ticket and pass out that I dropped somewhere in E17 on the way in on sat morning, and handed it into the 'ticket booth' after asking the road crossing stewards what to with it, which meant when I retraced my steps and asked every steward I could find, they let me know it could be handed in, and when I got there IT WAS! Thank you so much for saving me potentially hours and hours of trying to prove my ID 🙂

    Didn't try this year, but the crew bar in the Unfairground has always been fine with EPOs in the past

    I danced to a banging jungle dj set until the sun came up on saturday night / sun morning there, then cycling round the site enjoying the quiet - best night ever 🙂
