  1. What's the tram like back after gigs in Sheffield?
  2. Yeah seen a doctor, like 3 physios, podiatrist, muskulo-skeleto guy and a foot surgeon 😀 MRI scans don't show an *awful lot* wrong, and I'm doing ok at the moment, but I've got a tendency to relapse if I up the exercise (like fell walking in the Lakes). Had some custom orthotics made by a private physio for £380, but was told by the podiatrist they were pointless so now got some NHS ones instead.
  3. I've got a one year-old now and really need to be realistic in what I can do / fit in, or it's just not going to happen. In terms of hot-footing it around site, I was fine (albeit I doubt I would be in a m*ddy year...), but it's the standing still that does me in. So according to people on here, Pilates/building core strength is the way to go? Is Pilates something that can be done at home? Whenever I do any kind of physio my form is always wrong, and I don't want to cause myself an injury - however, attending a class just isn't going to happen. Ideally, is there a workout I can fit into 10 minutes? Which can then be extended if I find myself with more time/energy? To complicate matters I have issues with my feet - combination of bursitis, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, Haglund's deformity etc. Sounds mad eh! This will limit the amount I can do (if I don't want to risk a flare up) and certain exercises can aggravate it (in fact the physio gave me heel-raises to do for a couple of years before it was discovered for my particular condition they were likely to aggravate it rather than help).
  4. Cheers. Still don't understand d@bbing down still but after that I don't want to pursue it any further 😆
  5. We arrived on Thursday around 5pm and got shoved in pink 56, eventually got camped in Back House - that was a brutal walk as we'd decided to do it in one trip so we could enjoy the fun as soon as possible. We finished pitching at 6:45 and set off straight away as we wanted to see Steve Knightley. Down the railway track we went and got caught in - as we now know - the Example crowd. Missed over half of Steve's set. Later we saw Mik Artistic at the Rocket Lounge. Popped to the toilet after he finished and had to queue for 15 minutes for the urinal. Decided to explore Shangri-la before Guns of Navarone, but that was a no-go as there was a wall of people at Truth. It was at this point absolutely knackered I thought I might be getting too old for this. Then it was fine for the rest of the weekend until Elton 😊 In response to the Friday mystery I can confirm that Hot Chip was nicely chilled. Had to pop out to the toilet and missed half a song. We were central and further forward than halfway. Walked back to my partner with ease.
  6. This seems as good a place as any to ask, what's a stan? Might as well ask at the same time, what does d@bbing down mean?
  7. Fair enough, I'm done then 🙂
  8. How annoying is the iPlayer site btw. I searched "Glastonbury Foo Fighters" and just "Foo Fighters" which returned no results. But on the main Glastonbury section if you click on "Trending" you find them there, but not under "Guitars". Similar with Cat Stevens. Why not just an A-Z of band names? I'm missing a few but don't know if that's because they weren't recorded or whether I just can't find them. Any ideas? (Some are Acoustic which I don't think is recorded?) Adwaith The Hives Seth Lakeman The Unthanks Beth Orton
  9. They blocked it off the one night we headed there after headliners on Saturday night. Its annoying as it's somewhere we sometimes like to hang out and chill after the madness, and usually catch something fun. Going through the one way system is the antithesis of chilling out and would remove it as an option for us moving forward
  10. Yeah - missed the old village fete kind of atmosphere. Also - it's now behind the SE Corner one-way system much to my surprise. Went to see Track Dogs one night and was blocked from entry. My girlfriend can be really belligerent so she argued our way in eventually! - but poor Track Dogs were playing to an empty tent since no-one could get in!
  11. If anyone wanders over today, can you please report on how the area is now? Not getting on site until late Thursday unfortunately so unable to explore for myself. Is it somewhere cool to hang out where you can get decent drink/scran if you get there too early for a band? Is it somewhere to hangout with interesting stuff to do after the headliners while you wait for crowds to disperse? I could potentially be there for 3 bands ending with Hot Chip on Friday, and I'd like to know whether I should minimise my time there or make the most of it - as it's likely to be only time I'll be there over the weekend
  12. What're your thoughs on old Axl's voice?
