I'd say you actually are winning but then I hate the heat and definitely hate working from home in this heat.
Good point, it has been quite pleasant working from home today.

I think the "urban heat island" effect is cancelled out by the "being an actual island" effect. Always stays milder here than on the mainland.

Don't think I'm going to win this one, got up to about 27° today in Portsmouth.

If people who didn't know more than a song or two didn't go to acts next year, the pyramid would probably be at half of 2022's levels until sub/headliner time.
True, but I think there's a difference between "I heard 1 of their songs on the playlist and loved it, I'll check them out" and "I'm going to talk all the way through until they play the 1 song I know".

I wonder how many of that 99% were taken home by the people who brought them, and how many were discarded but taken by someone else.

Fair enough, so it's not a complete no-no (but it might feel a bit less special if it's someone like Chic who's played quite recently).
I think Duran Duran have exactly the sort of hits you want for the spot, but they're still headlining other festivals. Probably don't see themselves as fodder for the Sunday afternoon chair people.
-
Has the legend ever played the festival before taking the lege spot?
(I know Kylie guested with Scissor Sisters, anyone played a full set?)

I was born 10 years after Sgt Pepper was released. But I love seeing teenagers singing all the words to Beatles song.
I know what you mean. I was 20 last time Macca played Glasto, and it made me so happy to see the "young people" this year loving it as much as me 🥰

Yup. Jerk places will also get you fed and watered straight off the bat. Pint of milk from Glasto Milk and you're ready for whatever the day can throw at you.
Edit: Tibetan momos also a quality brekkie option.
Shush, I loved walking past the bacon sarnie queues and getting my breakfast momos! Don't let people know they can eat other things in the morning, if they can't work it out themselves they deserve to queue 😂

and a hoodie. Thought about it first thing Sat morning when we went to see Joy Crooks. Should have bit the bullet then.

On Sunday they had 1 XL hoodie left that was half price because it had been stapled up on display. I was tempted, but wasn't sure I'd be able to fit it in my bag (and I'm not XL, so it would have been more like a muumuu on me).

@zahidf the thread is about positive tests … the fake sage bit has been Well and truely covered now
Yeah @zahidf, enough is enough.
I tested positive on Tuesday, but probably won't bother wasting a test to see when I'm negative. Still feeling ill so won't be doing much this weekend, and should be clear by next weekend. Will be WFH, so don't need to worry about coming into contact with people in the meantime.

To be fair, that depends on when you're making the prediction. It's very easy to say "just move them", but not always so easy to do.
Although in this case, I agree they really should have tried harder.
With Doja Cat out and Sam Fender bumped up, there must have been some space that could've been used for them.
-
I was quite far back so couldn't see everything. Watching back on the iPlayer now, some of the visuals on the screen for Got To Get You Into My Life were straight off of Beatles rock band!

Just seen the update

Detection of refreshing at anything that isn't bot levels is a myth.
Go on the ticket page now and hit refresh more than 60 times in a minute, it'll ping you to the holding page.

My husband went to see mitski while I went to Macca. Sent him the what 3 words and a photo of the nearest flags and he found me with no problems (although I deliberately picked a less busy area so he'd be able to turn up late).
Did have to send all messages to him on WhatsApp and text, because it was hit & miss what would get through (he's on Vodafone, I had no problems on EE).

Also, when did Zelinsky (spelling?) turn up? I completely missed that
He was on the screens before libertines (and I assume was shown on the pyramid too).
My initial reaction was "doesn't he have anything better to do at the mo?", but I wasn't really paying attention and didn't realise he was asking for money for weapons. That doesn't seem very Glasto.

Wetting toilet paper a tad before putting it on the seat so it doesn't blow away. Just a blot.
Another top tip: if you put a ring of bog roll on the seat before using the loo, TAKE IT OFF AFTERWARDS! Don't leave it there for the next person to find.

This was good. 9/10 for quality. 3/10 for portion size.
It wasnt a bun, it was in a potato cake type of thing wasn't it? Really nice. Just needed to be bigger. Could have eaten 3.
Was that the arepa place? The bun thing is made with corn flour.
Don't think I waited more than 10 mins for food anywhere this year, although the coffee and bacon sandwich queues every morning looked like they'd probably be at least a half hour wait.

Fuck You missing from O-Rod too
They also blanked out any swearing in her set, so I assume it's because they want it to be "family friendly".

What? Ok, I'm cancelling my TV licence.

Yep, got my first positive test this morning.

Aren’t more than 50% of the JP sides open? Marquees with 50% of the sides open do not count as indoors and are not covered under the ban.
Inconsiderate though, if your smoke is causing a nuisance to somebody else.
If the fire marshals spot you they'll have a word, so it's defs not allowed.
Although a cigarette isn't as bad as the genius who set off a flare in there during Charli XCX.

Really funny moment when going to the mens toilet right at the back. He started playing Love me do. Everyone in the queue and whilst doing their business singing along 😁
Ah, I was so disappointed that I was the only one in the block of long drops singing along to blackbird. Thought we'd get some good harmonies going 😂

This guy met with his friend right next to me in the middle of the Kendrick set and proceeded to talk loudly non stop until the end. They just chatted for the second half of the set. When a big hook came on the song, he danced and headbanged, and when that was over, continued his loud talk. Fucking hate talkers during shows.
Also, sorry but I don't understand smokers being fine blowing smoke on other people's faces like it's ok.
I've found there are 2 types of talkers at gigs. Type 1 don't seem to care that there's music on, treat it like a noisy pub and carry on their convo (eg the people next to us for wet leg who got in early to see a really hyped set but were talking about their last holiday). Type 2 do seem to care about the music, but are narrating the whole thing "oh, I hope they play x, yes I love this one, this is so good" etc (eg the people next to us for libertines who seemed to be enjoying it but just didn't STFU).
Re. Smoking, apologies if I told anyone here off for smoking in John Peel, but the smoking ban came in 15 years ago, you must know by now you can't smoke inside!

So... making decisions based on gender/skin colour. Fair enough. For me that's sexist/racist, but each to their own.
I can't be arsed with this, I've got work in the morning.

I've got an uncle who's too religious to believe in man-made climate change (there's only 1 guy omnipotent enough to change the climate, and if He wants us to burn there's nothing we can do about it). FFS 🙄
