Glastoitus....proper poorly.

I always wonder around the site with a bog-roll stuck in some pocket/bag or other. Long gone are the days when I could hold it all in for blighty, now it's a case of when I gotta go... I gotta go. I'm amazed people still manage to blame the food as opposed to the 15 pints of Scruttocks Old Dirigible cider they drank beforehand. Booze is without doubt the one thing that'll knacker up your insides more than anything else. Do yourself a favour, drink a litre or so of water before you go to bed each night and you'll feel far better in the morning (we've even gone as far as to start drinking those rehydration sachet drinks before bed, cheap and really makes a difference.

Has anyone else suffered from post glasto illness?

They warned of piggy flu, bad guts and drunken nightime injuries but where in the small print did it mention kidney stones!! 3 months on and the painful little blighter is still stuck there between my kidney and bladder...even after an operation and the fitting of extra pumbing. Another operation in 5 weeks time will hopefully see it removed and I can place it next to my glasto collection.

So be warned...drink plenty of water!!!!....and be careful of too much cider( not proved but I reckon that may be what did me in).

Anyhow my ticket is booked for next year...so thats 36 weeks of recovery! :)

2 out of our party of 3 had the raging shits this year - me whilst at Glasto (the worst place in the world to have the whirly-splats) and Matt when we got back. He was so ill he was off work for a week and at one point was crapping blood.

Cider + Sunshine + Ethnic Food + Dancing. What do you think was going to happen?

A few weeks ago, I had the shits (mild, but enough to not want to stray too far from the toilet) and dreamt I was at Glasto, with the shits! In my dream, we'd just set the tent up, and there was a line of portaloos, but they were all full, so I went looking for a proper toilet. I found this proper building, with a dance floor. Like an entertainment complex at a holiday camp, and Michael Eavis dragged me into his office as he was excited about who was playing, and it hadn't been announced yet and wanted to tell me. But I had to go find a toilet, so told him I thought he was great, went upstairs and to the other side of the dance floor, and there were 2 doors, one normal, one half height, and I was able to use the full size one. Then I woke up, I think.

Pointless, but I thought I'd share :lol:

    • I mean I don't think EC and FFDP are borderline sub, they wouldn't be any lower now.   2025 is about as strong as Bloodstock gets yet this year only one headline would sub and the others would play 3rd down or lower.    Machine Head wouldn't sub at Download regardless of rarity, they don't sell enough tickets and I'm not sure Gojira would sub either. Their last UK tour was a mix of smaller arenas and academy dates. Ally Pally being the only London date, not even Wembley Arena. 
    • live music / main stage will generally end around 11pm but theres dj’s and late goings on right till 4am if you are so inclined.   Drinks are about £7.50 a pint probably and yes theres lots of mixed drinks / spirits / cocktails available to buy   wonderful festival, back for my third year in a row and 4th overall
    • If anyone sees Lakefest this weekend on any sites please post here, I’ve got alerts set. Been on TFG in recent years and not sold out yet. 
    • Half wishlist / half prediction (obviously too many big names)
