Oh nooooo! Wash your mouth out with muddy water! :D

2007 nowhere near as bad as 1997....

(i) There was less sitting water

(ii) I never lost a boot in 2007

(iii) The interminable cold of 1997? Do you not remember? I spent most of that year shivering...

Also, you have to add into the equation;

(iv) My tent leaked. I woke up with cold wet feet, and a spare toilet roll the size of a beach ball.. :D

So, in summary.. 1997, much worse than 2007. :)

97 was much more like 2005 in that it was dreadful overnight on Thursday/Friday leaving the site awash - but then didn't rain again all weekend. 98 was much more like 2007, the rain was pretty much relentless all weekend. The drainage is different now tho - In 98 there was loads of standing water all weekend - but in 2007 it took on the gloopy consistency we jhave come to love and lose footwear in.

Anyway - working on the basis that recent years have taken on a similar pattern to the 97 onwards ones - sun please! (99 &2000 were just fine!)

Wooop Woooop! Joshuwarr, do I need to call in the Facepalm police, I need to report someone linking to the dodgy Metcheck page, although the mitigating circumstances are that he hasn't linked directly to the page, he's linked to a page referring to the Metcheck page? Minor caution and let him be on his way or full force of the Facepalm Law?

Please don't shoot the messenger.. but here's how Metcheck's "any event of the year" thing is looking at the moment...

We need to start focussing our psychic powers on turning this one around people!

Bring on the sun sun sun! :(

    • I'm surprised they risked it, especially after nearly missing their Glasto 22 slot under similar circumstances  I did see someome say Ellie didnt sound as strong as recently but I'm guessing playing 3 shows in 2 different continents doesnt help that    On the topic though I can definitely see them doing a Fontaines and having a break over winter before a few final Clearing shows next summer 
    • That's fair on WA - I did recall people thinking Fontaines would take this year off before this was announced.    On the subject of Wolf Alice, they did Lollapalooza in Chicago on Saturday then Kendal Calling last night. Bit of an odd choice, no? Half imagine at Kendal that they would've been just exhausted.
    • Just logged onto the app to start planning my days and there really are a LOT of stages missing. Apart from the Seaside Stage there is no Casemates this year etc. Apart from the Seaside Stage, there are no Casemates this year, etc. Can't see anything about the kids field really. And there's local acts that are normally there like Kojak's Revenge that aren't appearing either.  Normally we get down fairly early but I can't see anything before 3pm I'm keen to see. Only one real clash as well, which is good, but it's thin and it's not thin in the sense of "I've seen a lot of these acts before"
