This is good. Real gooooooood. I'm in a very similar boat gently floating in the lake at the bottom of Pennards in that I've a little 'un due on Saturday (simply the worst planning of all time). Had managed to keep the blues in check quite well up to this week when the urge to head out West was immense. I just wanted to be sick on Wednesday but feeling strangely okay now. Definitely helped by seeing all that rain on the Sky News live feed right now. European Monsoon Wave here we come. Feeling much better now....

I left The Who's set halfway through on Sunday night, after which is HAMMERED it down. I thought 'never again' until I got home, rested and showered and - at 4am - watched the highlights on Sky + and missed being there. Even though it was still throwing it down outside.

Oh man, I remember how absolutely livid I was in 2005 - so I feel for them.

Just let 2010 be dry please.

I know this runs against the tide (honk!) of this thread, but I think the site will be okay - quite heavy rain till 11 then hot sun, the mud will be dry come Sat.

Although I did have a chuckle to myself when I saw the reporter under the gazebo on the BBC this morning.

I'm not so sure - they had one downpour last night, so that'll have been churned up a wee bit. If it's been steady rain for a few hours now, I reckon that could be that until at least Saturday evening, probably more like Sunday. Depends on the length/intensity of it.

I would guess that it'll be worse than 2008 but better than say 2004.

We've not had any rain whatsoever here in the midlands - none last night, none this morning and although it's murky (Well, I'm in Birmingham - it's always murky here :blink: ), there's no rain.

I think they've been incredibly unlucky in Pilton this year. :blink:

Poor sods. It's unbelievable - it is now every year since '95 that has had rain. Admittedly some years it has been light and infrequent, but it has never been dry. Surely, surely, next year...

Yeah, quite unbelievable really. I remember my overwhelming feeling in 07, particularly on the Friday, being one of impotent rage at how hideously unlucky we were AGAIN. If there was a god, I would have renounced him.

Sun coming out now, apparently, and they should be fine now for the rest of the weekend. It'll probably end up being remembered as quite as good year.

They were my exact feelings in '05 on the Friday morning. Rage and depression, particularly as I knew the missus was on her way down and heading into a disaster-zone. I was lucky enough to miss '07 - I think it could have been the final straw.

No, there isn't really - ignore the Metcheck forecast, there's no interpretation for the model.

Met Office have been on the money last few days. The site might catch a quick shower later today, but then it's clear until Sunday, when there will only be be very light showers (although that could change).

I call 2008 conditions.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
