Thames Water will just dump it in the river further down stream anyway.
The fish are as high as kites anyway.

…and stopping us peeing on the grass! What’s that all about? What do you think the cows do all day? We should be free to pee wherever we want, just like on a Saturday night when we’re out on the town.

And make the music quieter so I don't have to shout when talking with my mates all the way through sets. Or give everyone megaphones so they can be heard without bothersome music getting in the way.
Or have silent gigs and give everyone headphones who wants to listen and the silent majority can have their conversations in peace.

Too much graffiti for me. Last year practically every bin I walked past had been desecrated with some abomination.
Are you Liz Jones?
Also if you search Google images for Daily Mail Glastonbury the results are about 95% girls in bikinis.

Everyone knows how much I adore the festival, but losing Williams Green still really hurts. There was and is no other venue that had/has that identity and curated line-up. It was like a small version of the 'New Bands Tent' that JPT was once and for many of us was a key part of our daily line-up schedule. Yes, the big bookings, especially on Thursday with so much less on around the site, became untenable. Fine. Stop booking those bands. But, that combination of upcoming bands and also daytime sets by more established artists who were playing elsewhere during the weekend (Everything Everything, Courtney Barnett etc) was unique to Glastonbury, and its passing is one small step towards the Farm feeling more like 'all the other festivals'. And that's a huge shame. With the loss of The Rabbit Hole, the only vaguely comparable daytime venue (though I do understand the reasons for its end), that type of experience at Glastonbury has taken another huge hit for those of us less interested in chart popular stuff and nostalgia acts. I truly hope they knock it out of The Park with a replacement for the ol' Hole.

Rabbit Hole is gone? How have I missed this news!

good attitude: - backstage is the most boring place on site the action is out front.
Having worked the bar between Pyramid and Other one year I concur. Dull and full of boasting industry w*nkers.

Pink Eye who fronts Holy f**k sang a full song with his c*ck and balls out in the John Peel in 2010. No drama at all about that.
No drama about this either, just saying it happened.
I would have thought I'd have been there to see Holy f**k in 2010, but the memory is hazy.

My Keane story is that the guitarist Dominic went to college with my wife (well, think he was doing engineering or something, but he was in Trinity Singers with her). Eventually he got fed up going back and forth between Ireland and England to rehearse. Felt the band weren’t going anywhere, so he quit. They wrote Everybody’s Changing about the whole episode and well, sure the rest is history!
Guitarist?

Fat White Family genuinely are wrong 'uns though, right?
Singer got his c*ck out on the Park Stage a few years back and was just shaking it around.
I do quite like their music though.

The foundations will still be there. Highly unlikely they’ll have gone to the effort of removing them.
You can see them dug into the ground in this photo so I imagine they're covered over. Probably a bored concrete or driven steel pile, then a steel column inside the car connects to the bolts you can see sticking up.

I'm a terrible bore at parties - as if you hadn't guessed.
Sorry to have entered that unnecessary data into your mind.
It's there for good, I'd say now though!
As to my own feeble mind, I'm stuck witjh pressing on with the shite that enters my head at any one moment in time.
It's not for the faint hearted, I'll have you know! 😊
When I woke up after going to the pub last week my wife told me I'd told her the same story 4 times when I got home.
Lucky lady!

As an aside, my uncle once (back in the 1960's) stopped a bloke in his car which had 'JFK' on the number plate. Now being a first generation mad Irishman, he knew that the 'JFK' had a huge 'meaning' within that community. So, he stopped this bloke and offered him silly money for the car registration. And the bloke accepted. My uncle had this plate put on his Jaguar - a car which he once had airlifted to Dublin from the UK. Now, that bloke knew how to earn money, and he knew how to spend it too.
I'm getting de ja vu!

Did anyone read the updated privacy Ts & C's? What have we just committed ourselves to?

My mortgage renewal offer has come through for January, going to be losing £400 a month to the interest increases, my disposable income has basically been wiped out.
I can’t see tickets being below £350 so for 2 of us with parking, travel and spending money it quickly becomes a lot more of a sacrifice. Combined with how busy it feels now, constant queues and crowds, maybe not.
Will still probably get caught up in the ticket hype though
Mine was about to go up by £600 a month which we don't have.
Instead we went part interest only to keep the monthly payments the same.
In debt for longer and paying more in the long run though. But cash today is more important. Thanks Liz Truss.

A very poor reading of the geopolitical situation by the band!

With the exception of 1985, when I didn't have a tent, and 2005, it seems I've developed an ability to filter out the muddy ones from my memory.
07 was worse than 05.
In 05 you had the biblical rain and thunderstorms and then it got better.
07 was a constant light rain / drizzle for the entire festival.

At my wedding it rained the day before, sunny for the wedding day then pissed it down the day after. That was end of August
An unironic wedding.
How lovely!

I’m a teacher in a school, and I think it depends on the school as to what approach to take, some it’ll be best to just say they’re sick, some would appreciate being told. Almost none will care a massive amount I’m sure.
I always feel sorry for teachers that Glasto is during term time.

Glasto is sh*t and I'm not paying my balance. Definitely not trying in October.
