gooner1990

I'm just about to start on Huel....a friend of mine recommended it. My weight has crept up over the last 4-5 years and I'm about 3 stone heavier than I was in Summer 2017. Any tips? At the moment I have Kellogg's fruit burst, a coffee, banana and apple for breakfast, soup and bread for lunch and then a normal dinner. I think though where I fall down is the snacking in-between then the beer/fatty food consumption at the weekend.

Everyone in my group has a Fresh and Black 😄

I had a pie from either Square Pie or Sams Pies forget what it was called that year in 2017, was at the back of the West Holts stage.

What's happened to Barbster360? Hasn't uploaded any content in months!

Sadly I'm too far away to attempt something similar! Having to offload some of my stuff to a mate who's coming down in a campervan instead!

This is your outlet then! TBF when I drive I usually just message my mates a day or so beforehand with what time I'll be picking them up...but then again they always know its going to be v early as we've been going for years.

I've lost which thread it was on but someone mentioned that their coach times sometimes come up on their See Tickets order confirmation before they email them out to everyone. Has anyone got coach times on theirs yet? Mine still says 'w/c 16th may...'

That's the normal route into Paines/South Park/PGD etc. (we normally camp on this side of those hedges in view))

Just listened at work...thought it was great having one of 'us' on there even though he uses Twitter as well. 🙂 Look forward to any further episodes before the festival in a few weeks.

That's true as well and like Clarkete said, people just get to a point where they would rather do other things. I know I've missed out on a fair few holidays and other things with friends because I've put going to Glastonbury and other festivals first. Although luckily now I'm at a point where I can afford to go to 1-2 festivals a year, and then go on holiday with my gf as well which I perhaps couldn't do 10 or so years ago.

I said this to one of my friends the other week, we had them at BoomTown 2019 and hardly anyone else had them but when I went to Beautiful Days last year I saw loads.....worried that everyone is going to have the same tent now and I won't be able to recognise mine anymore! 😄

From memory....it was going up every year and then I think we had 30 of us go in 2011...that was when it peaked for us, then 20 or so 2013, 8 in 2014, 2 in 2015, 10 in 2016, 6 in 2017..then in 2019 we completely failed on tickets and so I worked it on my own (and met some of my own friends down there when off shift) it was amazing how quickly the dedicated go every year group just started dwindling not helped obviously by how hard it is to get tickets... There's a few of my lot who keep saying they'll come back but probably only in something like WV/Sticklinch but then they never organise themselves enough on T-Day and another year passes and they get another year older/stone heavier/have another child and the thought goes away again. Personally, I will keep going until I can't physically do it anymore. 🙂

100% agree with this part, we started out at festivals in 1999 just a small group of us, got bigger and bigger each year, did different festivals, crowd wasn't always quite the same but the same core remained.....and this year its just four of us going (will camp with other friends down there) from our hometown, three of us that are going did that first festival together 23 years ago. The main reason people stop going I find apart from the usual, got married, bought house had baby etc is the hygiene issue becomes too much for them, they get too fat/unfit to walk round the site so have to stick to smaller festivals or they stop drinking/taking drugs as much so then tend to avoid such events altogether which is a shame as I've done festivals on a lot of drugs but also just on booze and both can be just as enjoyable! As much as we all love it and are frothing at the mouth each T-day in October there are others, that whilst they enjoy the festival its not a way of life or find it a necessity to obsess over an event that happens once a year.

Just as I predicted 😂

What was the substance? 🧐

Will listen at work on Monday 👍😊

OCD alert - there was no festival in 1991!

Red Hot Chili Peppers 2007

I'm lucky my gf doesn't do festival goes anymore so I just do my own thing although she does give me recommendations based on what she's listening to...latest one was Amyl and the Sniffers. 🙂

What sort of stuff do they say?! Most of my friends are also heavy festival goers too so no piss taking really goes on, as I get my fix on here so don't really bug them either, that said if some of our more causal or younger festival going friends have a question they usually tend to get pointed towards me! 🙂

With my gf I tend to book the flights and hotel and she does the restaurants and sights etc. I'm more fussy about hotels than she is and she's more fussy about restaurants than I am so works well. 🙂 If she did Glastonbury we would likely have to just agree to do our own thing then come together when we wanted to. 🙂

How many bars/stages were/are there in that area? The Glade The Glade Lounge Spaceport Spike G Stage Bar

that's me on holidays. 🙂 - no point trying to interfere as it just causes arguments!

My Nu Lung and Mickey Finn I've both seen before at Global Gathering.
