I asked my Mum if she knew who Gareth Southgate was. Even she said he seemed like a lovely man.

Was playing football last night and had to go home early after straining my thigh (front of my leg, further away from the groin). It’s a pretty dull ache that occasionally shoots through some pain.
I had an Epsom salt bath and put some ice on it last night. Will probably have a fortnight off from football and my two or three weekly runs. Any other suggestions for treating this kind of thing?
Eeeep sounds painful. Resting sounds like a good option but can be hard to do sometimes....especially as the pain eases off a bit and you wanna get back into it. Hope the salt bath helped a wee bit!

Right then. Less than a year to go!
The last week has been mega sunny in Glasgow and consequently, I've been too much sitting in the sun (drinking beers) to do any exercise. Just one Insanity in the garden on Tues morning, although MY GOD did I feel that.
So, back on it from tomorrow. Sadly the zoom workouts with my friends that I did four nights a week all through lockdown have ended. It's much harder to motivate myself to work out in the evenings, so might need a new form of accountability.

It depends what you normally do on the Sunday, but for me I tend to not go quite as heavy as I really struggle to travel if I’m super hungover. Not to give too much info but I have a very sensitive stomach, so I try and avoid feeling too rough when I’m travelling. For me, getting that bus in the early hours and staying in Bristol is a total life saver. Skip the queues to get out the festival, sleep in a real bed and wake up to a cooked breakfast before getting the train. Last time we did that, we were home in Leicestershire at about 2pm.
The alternative for me is really taking my time on Monday, trying to sleep in as much as possible and shooting off after the bulk of the crowds, but if you’re travelling far to get home that’s a bit of a pain.
Haha this sounds very much like me!!!!

I'd most likely be on the bus to Temple Meads by now, as I always get up early on the Monday to beat the rush. Looking forward to having a breakfast at the spoons there and a proper wash of the hands with hot water.
Do you then get the train or coach?
Maybe @jparx had the right idea. Getting up early and taking the tent down is awful.
One year we didn't get the coach back to Sheffield until 10.30ish. That was actually ok. Got some breakfast, packed up in the sun and then slept back to Sheffield. Glasgow is an entirely different ballgame though.
So next year, I was thinking about staying overnight at a hotel in Bristol, and travelling back on Tuesday. That doesn't make actually getting off site any easier though...

Due to work, if I get a ticket, I’d only be able to arrive about 7pm Friday. Where would you camp considering I’d also have to leave during the Sunday night headliners? Friends would likely be in worthy view and there’s no point booking. That for just 2 nights.
Obviously it’s better than not going at all, but has anyone ever done such a short one before?
My friend is a teacher and he always arrived around 6pm on the Friday. And he definitely thinks it's worth it!

I wouldn't mind the final blow out being wet. Bit of a nightmare packing up in the pissing down rain when your already trying not to vomit...but it definitely would have been worth it.
Still dry in Glasgow, and a beautiful week ahead 🙂

Having been addiment I wasn't going to do it all again, I've kind of wavered at the 11th hour and pulled out the signs, signposts, bins and assorted stuff from last years effort. I left the signs up for months before taking them down and they are in pretty poor condition, so I've dabbed paint on to tidy them up, with varying degrees of success. The Glastonbury sign is pretty crinkly as well. I don't think we will do the campervan sleep out again but we have got some cider in and will put up the projector and watch some of the old sets in the garden.
I've half done a couple of extra glasto style bins (one designed by DVB junior) and faced will a pile of bits when clearing out a mates workshop I decided there was enough stuff to build an odd half robot/ half signpost hybrid (DVB junior is into robots atm). Not sure it feels particularly Glashomebury, but it was fun to make.
I'm out of upvotes, but this little dude looks class. Enjoy!

I bow to your superior knowledge. Let’s see how it pans out. So far the festival would have been 100% dry. Today was a perfect warm day without the hot sun that some people dislike.
BBC saying overnight thursday rain, clearing up by 9am friday, and then dry until Sunday morning 3am. "Showers" all through Sunday. I don't think that's too bad! I'd take it (even without the covid-desperation)
Weirdly though, Glasgow weather actually seems to be better. Fake Glasto is a go in my garden! Annoyingly it gets super hot and sunny from Sunday onwards but ill take 18 and cloudy thanks very much

Thursday 2019 @ The Glade
Lush photo!!!
In the aftermath of the super hot 2019 Saturday when I'd been forced to spend about three hours hiding in the acoustic tent from the sun, I did wonder how I forgot about The Glade. Would have been a lush place to find refuge. Although maybe it was rammed ....

They did show the Eng game in 2010, can't remember which day it was. In a slightly off-site field. Biggest mistake I ever made there was wasting an afternoon to go along with my group and join them, just ended up in a field full of angry angry people. Took the mood right down. I ducked out at half time and bimbled off to watch a gospel choir.
Doubly gutted as I missed Ade Edmonson and The Bad Shepherds, who subsequently called time on the band. Ah well.
Ah, that's funny you say about the mood. I watched that England game in the pub at home whilst working as a bar maid. Some guys from the nearby town came over and there ended up being a massive brawl that spilled out into the high street. We had to close the bar for half an hour and I believe a riot van turned up. Ridiculous.
So there were a lot of folk who had gone off to watch it then? Was the Saturday evening, as I recall?

The title of the thread is applicable in a way in which it probably wasn't originally intended, ZMG!
Damn, out of upvotes.
Hi Woffy! Glad to have you back 🙂 Although I admit to having been a very casual lurker myself over recent months.

Best pic I could find, but it was bedlam that night.
Mental to think it was 17 years ago!
Ah so they do sometimes show the football! Presumably this was because it was a Thursday though? Have they ever shown a game Fri-Sun? I've seen this talked about before on here but I can't remember the conclusion..

Oooh! I've still never been into the Rabbit Hole. Always a queue, or it seems to be the wrong entrance or whatever. Are you involved with running it?

I'll be 37. Genuinely concerned that my ability to not go to bed on Friday and power through until sunrise Sunday morning is going to be somewhat compromised by then.

looking showery in the SW for the weekend. saw the local weather bloke on BBC yesterday. He actually showed 3 different models showing different forecasts on the rain front. Then said it is hard to predict but should know by Thursday
Hmmm ok. This explains the differences! I'm going with the BBC (overcast at 19degrees on Saturday).

All about team Big Ground. Get yerself up on the hill near the big tree on Muddy Lane. It's a schlep to get to bed, but there's no better place to wake up and look over the site.
Do you need to be there mega early to camp there?
Excellent photos @JoeyT! Even if they do make 2016 look pretty bleak. Is that Strummerville in the top one?

Ive checked about six different weather outlets for Glasgow's Saturday forecast (and our FakeGlastonbury in the garden). Ranging from 12 degrees (!) and raining to 19 degrees and no rain/sunny intervals.
21 and sunny predicted for Sunday across the board
What the hell?

Can I just say, that hearing all your stories about the days leading up to the festival and seeing your photos has really helped to clear up my "I wish I was at Glastonbury" blues.
Thank you 🙂
I can't work out if it's making me feel better or worse, haha! Definitely vey distracting.
Just thought about 2015 when I failed to get a ticket. Remember being incredibly glum knowing it was going on without me. This is definitely better than that!!

I'm all about the Pylon too! Has a good mix of not being a million miles away, but also being fairly quiet for when you finally stumble back for some kip.
I'm also worried that if I moved camping areas now, I'd find myself back in Pylon anyway on drunken autopilot wondering where the hell my tent was.

Recovering and trying to recall what happened at the efest meet the night before 🙂
Haha of course. Assuming I hadn't been to over excited and drunk on Wednesday afternoon to forget to go in the first place.

Never been able to make it there on the Wednesday due to work, and my tickets for next year are Thursday coach again, but damn I really want to get that Wednesday vibe eventually! Looks incredible.
Ah yes, the Wednesday vibes are amazing 🙂
I've never seen the 4.30am queue though! Maybe one time I should, and get into some prime-locale camping. I do love Pylon though...
