thats my badboy returning for its second year! but this time with a mighty 6m pole to identify my tent, along with a nice little red flashing light for the top, so i can find it at night too! i never knew not to tie it right to the top of the pole either, i guess this explains why my flag always looked crap!

every area and every generation has one of those guys when they're growing up.

and he may be a real guy but he didn't do the things his urban myth alter ego supposedly did he was just a bit of a weirdo not child killer.

Just for reference, how tall is that flag pole and how big is the flag?

Thanks

Well finally got round to doing our flag! :D

This was the image we decided on.

And this is the final result.

Well chuffed with it especially considering we nearly had a complete disaster on our hands. Leaned over to get something and I knocked a load of pink paint onto the flag! :D We scratched our heads wondering what to do, should we bleach it? Then we came up with the masterstroke of doing the girl cartons legs pink instead of white (the spillage was where her left leg is). Was kicking myself! ;)

So if you see it in Kidney Mead along with a Saltire and a Haribo flag then pop over and say hello. :)

All I'll say is that if you google "flag fatality" you get 306,000 pages.

306,000 pages, people! Don't sound so safe now, do they?!

Yippee all my flag stuff arrived today! Trouble is I now have to wait until next Friday before decorating it! We're having a pre-Glasto party for our group of 10 where everyone gets to daub a bit of paint on or do a letter or something each. Really looking forward to it - we have Brothers in the fridge, sticking the Glasto DVD on in the background, made a few playlists of artists playing, have BBQ at the ready. Admittedly, we could have sorted out the arrangements for travel, food, cooking equipment and stuff over phone or email but somehow that just didn't seem as much fun :lol:

I LOVE flags! We bought one of the smiley faces flags last year and we took it everywhere, it is a great way to find people quickly. This year we are gonna make a few changes to it and buy a proper strong pole as it took quite a battering from the crowd :) I allways take into consideration others around me and try not to annoy anybody. :)

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play. 
    • Here's a bit of a wild stab, few placings may be off, and for all I know half of these won't actually be touring next year, but screw it, it's a bit of fun   Pyramid: Sabrina Carpenter, Phoebe Bridgers, TBA (Florence + The Machine), Garbage, The Last Dinner Party, Interpol, Alex James Britpop Classical Other: Chase & Status, Teddy Swims, Clairo, The Kooks, Zara Larsson, Kingfishr, Sports Team, Orbital West Holts: Robyn, Baby Keem, De La Soul, Deltron 3030, JID, Dua Saleh, kwn, Daniela Latila Woodsies: Bonobo, Darkside, TBA (Tame Impala), Laufey, Warmduscher, Wednesday, The Lottery Winners, The Royston Club, Florence Road Park: Patti Smith, Super Furry Animals, Slayyyter, The Cardigans, Skye Newman, Kelly Lee Owens, Teen Jesus & The Jean Teasers   Pyramid: Harry Styles, The xx, Richard Ashcroft, The Pogues, Jessie J, Sigrid, Travis Other: Rosalia, Sombr, Mitski, Alex Warren, Holly Humberstone, Cat Burns, Pale Waves, Yard Act West Holts: Basement Jaxx, Elyanna, Clipse, L’Imperatrice, Nation of Language, Jim Legxacy, Yazmin Lacey, RIP Magic Woodsies: Suede, Chvrches, Bleachers, MUNA, The Cribs, Keo, Bleech 9:3, The Lilacs Park: MARINA, Magdalena Bay, Jacob Alon, TBA (Lily Allen performs West End Girl), Getdown Services, Isaac Wood, Snail Mail, Madra Salach Pyramid: Sam Fender, Hozier, David Byrne, Cher, Obongjayar, David Gray, Billy Ocean Other: Doja Cat, Deftones, Addison Rae, Ren, Viagra Boys, Maisie Peters, The Reytons, Hard Life West Holts: Kano, Thievery Corporation, Angine De Poitrine, Thee Sacred Souls, Brooke Combe, Sasha Keable, Master Peace Woodsies: The Wombats, Metronomy, Geese*, Dry Cleaning, EsDeeKid, Sienna Spiro, Cowboy Hunters, Radio Free Alice Park: Big Thief, Laura Marling, MJ Lenderman, Richard Dawson, Oklou, Maruja, Dead Dads Club, Ratboys   *There's always one band booked for Woodsies that ends up being massively under-billed and gets shut down really early. They'd be better off playing somewhere like Other sub, but I could see the G getting them to play a smaller stage while it's still possible
    • Another Kraftwerk one for me today, as just back from seeing them.    
    • Completed my 2026 survey. Put down Super Furry Animals as my most wanted for next year but suspect the moment has gone for that. Popped a big shopping list in the box for who else you would like to see. 🙂
