WEATHER 2009 !

[stuartbert two hats]

Mudbaths I and II (1997 and 1998), and III (2007)** will stop long on the memory.

What's happened to Metcheck. Are they scared to predict. They were this time last year even if it did change all the time

[Laura_Babs]

oooo look. It's sunny outside. I'm feeling all Glastonburyish!

[Mardy]

No Rain No Mud No Compromise!!!

Mud Loving Freaks have had their joy in 2007. It's our turn now.

Remember, there's been no festival COMPLETELY free of rain, not even a shower, since 1995 (although 2002 and 2003 came close).

After 14 years we're well overdue an unbroken scorcher.

The only times my girlfriend has ever gone. Poor, poor girl. She thinks she's cursed

I just kept going until the sun came good!

[evansonuk]

Can people please stop panicking about specific forecasts for Glasto week, its way too early for that, they are completely unreliable. What we need to look at at this stage are the Met offices predictions for general trends this summer.....

I think anybody who went in '97, returned '98, and flying stupidly in the face of adversity, had yet another stab at it, deserves some kind of free lifelong subscription..

Although if she is cursed, we don't want her coming along this year Maybe sending her to Benicassim will fix it, as it never rains there, right?!

[scudetto_boy]

Just hope it's dry this year

[Glazieyes]

WoW, how's that T-shirt holding up?

perhaps MLFs (Mud Loving Freaks) should consider THIS as an alternative summer event. Glastonbury will be DRY, DRY I TELL YOU!!

Flaming June, flaming June...

For some reason, i'm sure it'll be a warm one this year.

all this talk of sunshine makes me scared the weather gods will turn on us for a laugh...

You knows it brother.

The closest I think I came to deciding that I was going to give up on Glastonbury for good came late on Sunday night in 2007, it had been raining solidly and heavily since about 5 pm (with plenty before that as well), I was holed up in a backstage guest tent, beer run out, only a few tunes, on my own, phone battery dead, nowhere to go except through MUD

I felt little better the next morning, clearing up my tent on my own in the mud and struggling through the hellhole mudbath a long long way back to my mate's car.

Why do I endure this fakkin shit? I mentally asked myself.

That feeling lasted about a week until I kicked myself and reminded myself that if I decided not to go in 2008 and it turned out to be a sunny one then, I'd feel even more depressed for missing out. I cam e back in 2008 (with a job for the fiorst time, too!) and what do you know ...... mudfree paradise!!

So you have to risk the mudbaths to make sure of not missing the sunny ones.

Ah, last year made it all great again didn’t it? Didn’t dare even hope it would turn out as it did.

We were also that close to stacking it in 07. Effectively stranded with our trolley knackered & me knackered from carting stuff up to the car so effectively marooned with our 3 year-old-twins & 7-year-old. We were rescued by a knight in a not-so-shining Landrover who when we thanked him after dropping us & possessions at our car said he worked at the Theatre Fields & was called Haggis. A quick spot of Googling when we got back revealed he was Haggis McCleod, the widower of Arabella Churchill and he definitely restored our faith in Glastonbury!

As you say, it would be gutting to be sat at home watching a sunny one - we had to give 04 a miss as the twins were born 3 weeks before it started & even knowing it wasn’t great weatherwise it was still hard to watch without really wanting to be there!

Here’s to another mudfree paradise!

I threw the in the towel in 2007, I thought it wasn't possible to be more pissed off than I was on that Sunday in 2007.

Then when i was sat at home watching Eddie Grant on the telly with the sun out last June I realised it was

I'm going 7 months pregnant - this year will be the hottest just so I suffer I'm convinced.
