[Is it right]

I wish I'd first gone when I was 38, now 51 father of 3 and going for 5th year running I feckin love the place and bore the family to tears about it. My wife is going for the first year so I may have to behave, but I seriously doubt that I will. ONLY 54 DAYS UNTIL MY XMAS!!

[What got you to go to Glastonbury in the first place?]

Walked into the site in 2007 and fell in love with the place, Can't imagine not going would rather cancel Xmas, I am like a kid in a sweet shop when I am there and I'm only 51!

[The official 'Woohoo, I've got my ticket' thread.....]

in at 8.55 tickets 9.05 confirmation 9.10 worked well for me but from what I've seen elsewhere was very lucky

[Hospitality camping area]

If you look at ariel photos of last year you can see it most definately wasnt packed in hospitality, there was a lot of unused ground, unlike the disabled area which was right next to it and where the entrance was obstructed for vehicles needing to go in to it by that stupid bloody green fence and everyone in disabled camping crammed together as close as possible.

[1 day left at work before glastonbury !]

5 Full Days not going down until Thursday early doors

[Middle aged man meet...]

[Post a picture of your tent!]

Tescos finest pop-up, cheap and doesn't leak, bugger to put away though. It's condition not helped by me throwing up in it on Friday morning last year!!!

The Libertines have to be the most over-rated band of the century

[Which act makes you smile :-)]

[top tips for festivals]

Take a wide necked fabric conditioner bottle to avoid those late night trips to the toilets!!

[Nasty Secret Acts]

Scouting For Girls or Keane

[Fun stuff to take with you]

Is it just me or does anyone else think that darts and catapaults don't really have a place at Glastonbury.

Or am I just being a miserable old F***er

Coming out of the shadows

[Backstage- any good?]

I've stayed backstage a few times now and it's mostly people who are working from what I've seen, be that clean up crews, press and then assorted people on a jolly. Shortcut is great, bar is good, feel safer leaving things in the tent, cleaner lavs, and this year understand there will be showers. Camping backstage in new area will still give access to old backstage which will still be there but with larger beeb compound I think.

[Headliners, will you see them?]

Neil Young - definately

Bruce Springsteen-possibly

Blur -definately

Over 40 but young at heart !!!!!!!

[Special Guest/Secret Slots]

2007 was the year that I kept stumbling over secret gigs. Over the course of the weekend we saw

Bill Bailey (Cabaret - Sunday afternoon and Fire and Ice Stage ? - Sunday evening)

Joss Stone (Leftfield - one afternoon with only a couple of hundred people max)

Madness (Lost Vagueness - not very secret) and Hard-Fi played the same time in Leftfield.

Usually they are in the Q magazine in the morning
