  1. 20 people trying, no luck. Only needed one for my OH after their post code was screwed up in the main sale. Looks like I'm camping alone this time 😔. Devastated in the Beaver89 home today.
  2. I've only worked out two to do drag and drop individual URLs for this, can you help me? Where do these lines of code get entered? into he module itself or into command/DOS? I've only ever managed to get 720P and would like to get higher quality so guessing this code would work for that. What is the recursive line to grab everything? Also is there a way to wipe the history so it doesn't block re-downloading stuff for this fresh run I want to do? (I've already bashed through a fair bit overnight)
  3. "Are you going to try not to sh*t down your leg tonight?" There was another that made me absolutely howl right there and then (as opposed to the usual quiet chuckle) but can't remember it for the life of me.
  4. Sounds to me like another average-for-glasto year - i.e. neither extreme. Lets goooooo!

    Beer Prices

    Any ideas of the 0.5% thing top left? Going sober this year so on the look out for low/no alcohol drinks (aside from softs)
  6. I had my last day in my job! New one starts after Glasto! First pack done yesterday including decanting cans of non-all beer into six-bottle bags. I now have all day tomorrow to repack and repack and repack again.
  7. Yes it does. I remember getting back from 2010 thinking I had a really good suntan. It all washed off. Best keep your throat well lubricated. 😉
  8. I'm in a similar boat but have worked out a fair bit (enough) to keep up - just. NFRNFC stands for No Rain, No Compromise. A long standing in joke. Most other acronyms are the different weather modelling agencies from the UK and beyond. Unsure of the which is which but they each have different ranges and biases so essentially when they start to agree with one another then you can be more certain of it. The GFS gets a lot of coverage as it seems to be the longest range of the ones included here. 06Z, 12Z etc is simply the different runs of the GFS. It runs 4 times a day - can't remember what times. I think the latest is 23:30. I don't know how they differ beyond distinguishing which run in the day they are. That's my non-weather-person attempt and what I've deduced from reading this delightful chaos. I'm probably wrong. Edit: Oh and I think the finger relates to the high pressure coming up from Europe / Africa. As I understand it high pressure = hot / dry.
  9. Well this run looks like a pretty standard year overall really, doesn't it? Thanks for all of your updates! Enjoy Arctics!
  10. Lulu's Cafe is gone and therefore breakfast is cancelled. Forever.
  11. I've not got on the weather hype train yet so this was pretty much the first thing I read and was suddenly concerned as to what I've missed or don't know. Then the suspicion came in and I knew I'd seen this tone before. Sure enough checking the user handle confirmed I was correct. Love it. NFRNFC
  12. Au contraire re drinking less: I find the beer / cider becomes medicinal for sore feet more and more sas the weekend goes on! Beyond that others have covered it: good footwear and sit down as often and you can - especially early on in the weekend when you don't think you need it. Think of it as drinking plenty of water and eating well before a big night out - it pays dividends!
  13. On that Temple slot, do we know it's that one and not the one before Haai B2B I Jordan? Is there word on the 12-1.30am slot on Saturday?
  14. Can we all spare a thought for Halvin at this busy time for them? We're all cheering you on!
  15. What's our minimum page quota for it to drop? I feel like we are seriously lagging. But then I'm probably still scarred by the year they released it within a week of the gates opening. Thankfully it was a long time ago. 2011 fest? It gave birth to the idea of the Thingy for the 2013 run up though.
  16. To be fair, if the media circus is revving up, it is a good sign
  17. As we are all gathered here, allow me to introduce you to our lord and saviour... 😜
  18. Monorail extension to Worthy View? Outrageous!
  19. No it isn't, it's fantastic! (I really hope it isn't Chris Brown or some other bastard now)
  20. Good idea: Tenacious D Debate worthy: Legend slot has moved from 4pm (idk really but I imagine this would generate heat for some reason or other)
  21. And so my bedside vigil begins!

    Eurovision 2023

    Not a big fan but don't mind it. I'm usually busy on Eurovision night and get home in time for the last acts and scores but tonight I have naff all to do and the Mrs is away. I think it'll be that on the TV, Breath of the Wild (which I realised this week I need to finish) on the Switch and some decent food - that's an otherwise aimless evening sorted! But what to eat...? (not Scouse!) I shall of course be taking up my usual position of cheering for nil-point.
  23. It's so tough isn't it! There is no right way and everyone is different. I had a continuous run from 2008 to 2016 then failed to get tickets for 2017 when two acts I'd been patiently waiting for years to play finally did (Foos and Radiohead) and 2019. I'm firmly in the camp of immersing yourself in the coverage. The idea of it going on and not being involved at all is far worse to me than not going. It is just a different way to enjoy the biggest musical cultural event and best garden party on earth. Is it the same, no. of course not. But it is its own type of fun. It even has benefits: no walking between stages, no clashes and guaranteeing a good view. I think it was Killers > Chic in 2017 this was most appreciated - watching everyone leg it while I pressed two buttons. Then there is not getting wet if the weather is bad and getting to sleep in a proper bed of course. Treat it like 2020 - get your drink of choice in, some decent food - takeaway optional, reduce the clash finder to just the stages on stream and fill it out as you would to plan your weekend, crank top the volume (being careful of the little one) and enjoy it for the different way of experiencing it that it is. You could even get a couple of wristbands from eBay for a couple of quid! (we did this in 2020 - we had wristbands, a box of cider bus cider with paper cups - it was fab!). Ultimately, remember you are missing it for your little one. One day you will be taking them with you and sharing the magic. This is just the first chapter of that story.

    Avalon 2023

    Hey,@Neil. I was doing a thing with the lineup and used your page as a start to save typing it out from scratch, noticed a few were missing. Might be due to your method or other reasoning but thought I'd raise just in case they were missed. It must be such a tedious job each year? Cable Street Collective, The Damned and Freya Ridings seem to be missing and Far From Saints need updating to Confirmed and against Avalon.
