    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?

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I agree to a certain extent. Personally I think more ground will get swallowed up inside the site and more people will camp outside over the next few years. Theres almost a ring of glamping around the festival now, can only see that getting bigger

    Maybe it could eventually go full circle with outside the fence becoming standard camping and inside the festival becoming differing zones of paid for pre erected and boutique camping.

    Cant remember where I read it, but I read that they were basically heading that way but got permission to fly over. 

    Was at Jacob Collier and seemed like they were almost directly above the West Holts field, but maybe that was just a perspective thing. 

    Permission from who?

    Thanks! I spent way too long on it while neglecting my real job earlier this year 👍

    It really is great work!  Are the photos captured in the highest resolution available from the webcam?
