Great way to start the festival proper. Made the Ben Howard booking look a bit off

Think Ollie from years and years is the most likely and kike dee. Ollie seems to be the next "friend of the festival"

I don't see anyone else smiling in here

"Don't do drugs, they could be mixed with all sorts of dangerous stuff!" Can we test our drugs first then? "LOL no"

I always spend spend around a 100 a day on the Wednesday and Thursday as that'd when I wonder and bar crawl. Once we hit Friday, I take out whisky with me and either buy mixer or drink it neat, and then it's only brekkie and lunch. Reckon 300 all in this year for me. The brothers bar going cash only was a dream for me last year, got served so quick

The covid effect. Tell everyone they can't go out, go to festivals, go to gigs, and even if they never went, suddenly they'll want to. It's like when drinking went up during prohibition, it'll come back down to pre covid numbers in a couple of years

There is no pattern

He's said similar before hasn't he? I'd like to think they'd accept legends slot. Can see why they'd turn down not being on the pyramid, their back catalogue is stacked

Didn't realise you covered reading as well. I've been the beneficiary of your services twice then!

Have ended up on the same hospital a couple of festivals ago! I can only echo the amazing work done by FMS.

Thicko question, but do you get a separate coach ticket with your GA ticket, if on seeticket coach? I used them last year but got a lift back so didn't pay much attention

Does anyone know if there's any reason for this? One of his last fairly big hits before his recent renaissance

2017 - got a lift with a mate, we went down the night before and stayed with his cousin about an hour out. He'd ordered in domino's for our arrival, was really appreciative of his hospitality. Left early hours but took a wrong turn. Ended up in gate A queue for a couple of hours, got through, sweaty mess, asked a steward where darble was, fearing the worst, only to be told I was standing in it. 2019 - got a lift with one of the people in our group I was vaguely aware of. Train upto London to meet, in the queue at gate A by 11ish. Was near the back of the queue, when I was told another gate was clear (think gate D but not sure). Was set up with a beer within the hour, others with us, further in front of our group took 4 hours to get through the queue. 2022 - first time coaching it. Wife gave me a lift to London, only for the train strikes to cause chaos. Despite leaving 2 hours early, got to the 02 with a few minutes spare, and then struggled to find the pick up site. After 5 panic stricken minutes, found it, and sat there for 45 minutes as the coach was delayed. Onsite by midday after a fairly quick queue. Getting a much earlier coach this year so resigning myself to a horrendous queue when on site

Showdown at Glastonbury is my favourite. Seeing how knife edge things were, and I thought the documentary was fair to both sides

2017 - mate drove, planned to leave around 6/7am. Wake up to find his tent is gone, quick panicked call, to find out he's at the car and leaving in 30 mins, with or without me. Turns out, he looked in my tent and thought I'd gone out Sunday night, when I was actually asleep in the rear compartment. Git took my sack barrow as well, one sweaty heaving walk/jog later I found him and we sailed off site and then hit non stop traffic. 2019 - became ill on the Saturday morning. By Sunday ambulanced off site, in hospital for just over a week. Avoided traffic at least. 2022 - coach on the way in but bagged a lift with 2017 mate to go home. Sunday packed up all my gear and slung it in his tent, watched pet shop boys and then back to his tent for a couple hours kip then left around 3/4am. Sailed through, home by 9, in the pub by midday. Side note, I get plenty of holiday days, so always book an extra week off work, to readjust to the real world and ride the festival vibe for as long as possible
