For most of the conflicts in the world during much of my life I tend to think I'd like to ask for a ceasefire.
Everything else comes once folks aren't killing each other.
I appreciate I'm a simplistic old hippy, although to be honest that's always been quite consistent with going to this festival.

40 miles north of Pilton, we've had occasional showers in the last week or two but some lovely days. This field was waterlogged, even on slopes, last time I took the dog for a walk there...

Congratulations to all those who where successful and commiserations to the many more who weren't

No sign of old bill hundreds of people and some very loud sound systems
We drove through Eastville recently on the way down to St Marks Road, past the skate place under the M32. There was a massive crowd of youngsters, a banging sound system playing and a skunk smell strong enough you could smell it in the car as we drove past 😂

Got to agree with the monsters of rock comment. Absolute pish fest. And T in the park was known to many as P in the park, so much aerial urine. I could never understand how you could launch a pint cup of it without soaking yourself.
Oh I'd forgotten the pints.
Did see that when one was approaching somehow fairly upright someone stood up and majestically plucked it from the air.
Henceforth like an Arthurian tale, they became our leader.

For further context, there's a long post halfway down this thread from someone who was there at the time

As noted elsewhere Currie can be aggressive to audience members and seems to have some other sketchy behaviours, but I dont think this is something they should lose their livelihood over.
Very interesting to see another perspective from someone there.

Then again, we live in a "country" where a doctor has been professionally deemed unfit to practice medicine because they had the gall to protest against big oil.
Isn't that still under review?
From Thursday "The tribunal will deliberate on potential sanctions for Dr Benn, which could range from no action to striking her from the medical register."

It's 4/20 day (I've no idea how those numbers have come to symbolise cannabis?) tomorrow so there's a mass spark up in Bristol's castle park.(And elsewhere).cos I'm in Bristol I hope the old bill are cool and not arresting.
Yes, I believe historically in Castle Park they've not intervened.The origins...

This is what spotify playlist analyser concluded from the list that @gigpusher had shared with me of a sample of acts on the stages released up to and including 16th (so significantly not including the stages from the last 24 hours.
Make of that what you will 😉

We’ve got huge boxes full of wristbands, tickets, beer cups, hats, a stone from the path where our tent was, documents, programmes, t shirts, sweat shirts, print offs of clashfinders, photos, guardian bags, free press papers, Coldplay wristbands, the wee handy guide, bag of mud scraped off a trolley, etc etc.
Just boxes full of memories. And pride of place a photo of me and Michael😊!
I've got tons of wristbands, programmes, mini guides, bags, plus many many t shirts and fleeces across the decades, but I don't think for the first decade or two.
Also got all sorts of wee badges, furry hats or shades people gave me around the campfire.

Apparently the numbers started to shoot up around 2010 coincidentally the year instagram started.
Come on though, there are some brilliant videos of fluffy animals on there 🐶 😾🐭

Been going in a van since 2017 - hire it, I have zero experience otherwise. Last year I was struggling with Mrs BP to fill the water from my whopping big aqua roller into the chest high input in the van using the provided funnel. A neighbour let me use a siphon pump that he had made himself which was an absolute game changer for my back. I’ve been looking to see if there are commercial ones available and obviously there are loads! Anyone have any experience/tips before I rely too heavily on Amazon reviews?
I think normally with a rented caravan the barrel just sits upright on the floor with a hose hanging in it? Sounds a lot less hassle

Aye, but with increased numbers having people off their faces wandering through crowds with a fire on a stick caused injuries to others.

Noone has a hard on for carrying unnecessary wood into Glastonbury like this guy.

I think the big difference from last year was none of us even got past the holding page in the resale last year. At least this year there were technically tickets there, but gone when it got to payment. Thought once selected they were allocated til payment went through, but obviously not! Anyway, on to Sunday for the stragglers in my group.
I was trying for others, but didn't get a sniff of a page today, so similar to some recent sales for me.

2009 for us too. Not because we weren’t allowed or there was a lack of wood but because there’s so much to do during those hours that no one wants to sit at the tents anymore!
Very true, it was a, great thing to do when you were making your own entertainment, but there's so much great stuff to do now.

Never tried for coach packages before. Guess this is normal then?
Yes, sometimes locations reappear as others transactions don't go through...as in general.

Can't pretend I follow anything about him or them, but he was very much included in ones that I thought were historical (although one lawsuit was I believe end 2023 and related to one of them).
I'd have been delighted for him not to play, but either way, I don't think G should be the first major UK festival that invites Win. If they did I'd be flabbergasted if it didn't prompt one of the other acts to comment.
