The BBC monthly outlook is LATE. C**ts. :angry:

That's a minimal - yet obviously unacceptable - amount.

She got off lightly. I'd have divorced her, personally.

She changed her mind when we watched the film last night during the section of clips of some of the muddy years.

My wife said to me the other day (it's her first time there) that in a funny way she hoped it did rain a bit so she could experience Glastonbury properly. I gave her the most evil, cold stare you can imagine.

One of my mates first glastonbury was 2008 when it rained all day every day solidly (except for a bit of dry on the saturday night) and she loved every single second. Thats a one off though and I think she's a bit freaky

I'd rather have 2005 again than 2007. 2007 was relentless crap, whereas 2005 was heavy but by Monday morning you could sit on the grass again.

But lets be very clear, I want no rain at all! B)

And why are the BBC late with the monthly update? :angry:

I'm not listening to anything until 2 weeks before the festival (so tomorrow night for me then!!)

177% rainfall? That's absolutely ridiculous! I'm not having that, no way!

I'll spend the 19th (sacrifice day) in the park in my pants on my own looking mental for a sunny Glasto.

Happy birthday Hastingsboy!!

That's getting better - average r***fall is better than 177% but still not acceptable!

Hopefully the forecasts will still keep getting better then. TWIST.

By the way, we were predicted clear skies and sun for Saturday (very cloudy and muggy in the end) and rain and thundery showers yesterday (scorchio with sunburn to prove it)

I DON'T KNOW WHO TO TRUST ANYMORE!!!

Monday 21 June 2010 to Sunday 4 July 2010

What can we expect for Wimbledon?

The arrival of the longest day and the start of Wimbledon suggest that we should be reaching the height of summer.

Indications show a mixture of drier and brighter interludes but still with a signal of more unsettled weather at times. Rainfall and sunshine amounts are therefore expected to be around average throughout the period.

Temperatures should be near or slightly below normal, but perhaps slightly above in parts of southern and eastern England. So not exactly a heatwave, but hopefully some good tennis weather.

About average overall then, but we might get lucky. That could be a lot, lot worse. Still all to play for, fellow sun-lovers.

Now for a rant. Wimbledon. Mentioned on the outlook above. I love tennis - GREAT game, and I'd love to go to Wimbledon one day (my mate said he was really looking forward to seeing the men's semis last year, and that really made me laugh, though my urge to go isn't just because of the easy nob gags I could tell).

But - CENTRE COURT HAS A F**KING ROOF THESE DAYS!!!! They have NOTHING to get anxious about. They don't have to LIVE in the unsheltered countryside for nigh on a week.

So I say that all Wimbledon rain haters don't know they're f**king born, and should try a real test of endurance, not one that means they get a bit miffed with diluted strawberries and a saggy straw hat.

The BBC thing is better than that charlaton Jackone's forecast.... But we can still do better than this. On the 19th of June I promise to do some washing and hang it outside for the rain gods.

That's one court out of 19 that are used in the tournament. Rain can certainly still screw up the early stages of the competition.

Leaving on the Monday, with it still raining, was possibly my most depressing Glastonbury moment. I really don't want that again.

    • They are going to have Blink 182 for sure, early June upto around Werchter weekend I'd say for them. Two of Sweden Rock,  Greenfield and RFP are going to miss out.
    • I've come across a few this weekend saying Deftones aren't big enough for Download.   I would recommend b&b hotel hbf the night before....cheap, comfortable and very decent. Within 10 minutes from the station and a tram stop outside to jump on...all travel is free during the festival time as well with a kombi. Lidl is very good and cheap I can't lie....€6 for a chair with carey handle, €20 with a bag too...you can work that out yourself.   If you camp, get up at 5am and go to the queue....literally don't question it as now I know.     The travel wise part is easy when you get the hang of it and I've never had an easier exit from a festival today tbh. We were camped in the turn left section but past the registration and to get water you have to come right out.   Opening up an exit through he camp at least by Friday morning when everyobe is there would be much better but you csnt walk through general if you're green and sonon.   I think the issue for me probably too is I have never taken like a mutliple litre water too, I've always done a 6 pack water from like poundland lol but you definitely need it. I had one shower that was cold lol   Talking of getting into the front, Volbeat was the only easy one, for Maiden and especially Linkin Park if you weren't in the queue for it by at least the last quarter ot Architects you had no hope....it was shocking. I do like orbit to sit down. I had to decide to sack off Within Temptation too or no chance.   Second stage biggest gripe is the faff of walking all the way round when VIP or whatever it is literally get access to each bit. I did read tbh before going people though RIP/Ring was turning too much the wrong way.   Also as a side note, caught some of Limp Bizkit last night too and they are not headliner but any distance at all. Yes they pull a crowd...they would do with LP finished but on the grand scale its a super weak booking. Stop, start for video recordings all the way through a headline set?, 1hr 15 minutes and you can't play for that time. I'm so glad they were not chosen to headline main.   On another thing, if RIP played it right they'll get GC and Avril to sub/second stage headline on the Blink day.   Toilets and cleanliness is a big plus I will say that.    
    • Any of the likes of Keo, Basht. and Cardinals could all fit in here.  Although they’re the sort of bands that could fit many of the stages at Glastonbury 
    • Glasto loves a come back act - how about the Rapture?
