  1. Don't get me started. I used to live like that, now I don't.

    I am 42 and I have a comfortable life. BUT I rent my home, work at music festicals during the summer. During the winter I work for the royal amil. On top of that I do Proof reading for Phd's, and do stats for them,

    Not a solid way to live, but I am happy :P

  2. I first went to Glastonbury in 1998 when I was preparing to go to university to study accountancy. It had always been my target to become an accountant and just be a cold-hearted money and numbers type. But a few days dancing in a morally-conscious environment started to get me thinking. The next year I didn't even take the free way in that I'd been offered (the year before I'd used it) because I wanted to make my contribution to the festival and its nominated charities. Once again this lead to more thinking about myself and the world around me. Not the best possible thing when you're on the most greedy, money-obsessed course possible. Needless to say from this point, I've been in constant limbo fighting against the need to think about money in employment to my complete dissatisfaction and apathy to it. This does not have a good end though as this has left me totally clueless as to where to move with my life - so easy options and unhappiness (leading to things like depression and total stress at work). I know if I hadn't been driven through the gates of Worthy Farm back in 1998, I'd know have a strong job and a career. I'll deal with my problems though for dancing in the sun each year.

  3. Hi,

    A good friend of mine, Eggzi painted me this over christmas, its approx 6ft wide and 21/2 tall, oil on canvas.

    I'ts loosely based on one of my best ever Glasto nights which was Faithless 2002, twilight slot, which they've got again this year, AWESOME!!!

    Anyway I love it, Eggzi (the artist) still wants to do a few minor touch ups etc, but i thought it deserved posting up, the photo's not the best, a little out of focus but still.........

    HELP I DONT KNOW HOW TO INSERT THE PHOTO!!! It just asks for a URL, how do i upload????

  4. Think of the opportunities though for bigotry. England score against Germany and every speaker on site automatically plays either Dambusters or The Great Escape (I'd pick the former as we were a bit more successful in that one). They could also have a theme night on the Cinema Tent of the aforementioned films followed by Saving Private Ryan, Downfall and Where Eagles Dare.

    Every football fan is racist and putting them all in one big grouping means there's a chance of a lynching; similarly every festival goer is a drug-addled-layabout-student-beatnik-hippy-with-a-dog-on-a-string and putting them in one big grouping means there's a chance of a giant orgy.

    Just Sky+ it, have a blanket ban on news and mobile phone signals in the area and then play it on the Pyramid at 0600 Sunday. Simples!

  5. Ive got to say that im very dissapointed with this years lineup. I was expecting big things considering its the 4oth aniversary. Sorry people, but it just doesnt cut the mustard with me. I think i will spend alot of the time up in shagra-la and arcadia getting out of it.
  6. Have the festival from Wed to Sun for 8 consecutive weeks, with each band playing in the same slot each week. This gives you 8 separate opportunities to see either Stevie/Orbital/Scroob/Ash/Levellers/Empire of the Sun/Rodrigo or Jackson Browne!!!

    Extra costs incurred to performers/festival will be raised via a small tax increase for non glastonbury goers.

    Mandatory annual leave (with pay) shall be given to all ticket holders again via a small tax levy.

    It will be sunny for all 8 festivals.

  7. this is from 5 days ago with the band he is touring :P:P:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::)
