Staying Fat For Glasto

Agree body builders are gross. Lived in is fine - Johnny Quid from Rock N Rolla (seen here in one of my fave scenes) is better!

That brekkie actually isn't too bad is it? Mainly protein, some carbs and sugar in the beans but there's no fried bread or chips or hash browns. I say eat away.

i like the best of both worlds. about a year ago i got into running big time. would spend more than an hour on the treadmill (running's ace - makes you feel high as a kite B) ) and have three puddings at dinner cos i could. yum!

I was like you ie eat whatever and still be thin until I was about 28 then my metabolism changed and I suddenly found the beer and other high calorie foods like cake slowly began to make a mark on my waistline...

You may be lucky but I reckon your time will come eventually (if you don't exercise regularly and live a sendentary lifestyle). Enjoy your good fortune while it lasts B)

Gotta say, it's worth being fit for Glasto. I'm 36, and if I didn't do a bit of running to keep the old cardiovascular system in practice, Glasto would do for me.

The last thing you want is to be knackered and wanting a nap at 11pm.

Or drain all your energy by Sunday morning and succumb to some germ or other.

If I didn't keep reasonably fit, that would be me.

Having said that, I never say no to food. Exercise so you can eat. And I've haven't done any proper exercise since before Christmas. Not starting running again til this snow's out of the way. Gyms can bugger right off.

Mmmmm, pie bob.gif

There's no shortage of pie-based menu suggestions in the Glasto Food With Piccies thread so it's defo possible to plan your days for maximum pie munching time with just the bare minimum of inter pie stall wobbling and all that :P

Forgot to mention earlier that I'm just about to bung an entire large packet of something not dissimilar to these in the old oven:

Not strictly speaking a pie of course but kinda close and I defo don't expect there to be any left going all cold, soggy and stale in around 15 mins or thereabouts :P Shedloads of caffeine and around half a pack of ciggies plus these li'l beauts coming up soon. Way to start the day and all that !! yum.yum.yum. lick.gif

    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
    • Dug into Milkweed some more and this was a brilliant suggestion. Thank you 🙂   This will come as no surprise, but I have been told that there are some band substitutions to come.
    • Yeah, I think it's important to differentiate between a stage that's just a platform for the artist to walk on (which can be assembled fairly quickly and without too much difficulty), and the custom staging that you get in big productions where there's a whole world underneath.   Using the Eras tour as an example the stage extending out into the stadium field has all sorts - lifts that go up or down - down most importantly as this allows performers to enter or to leave the stage as needed. There's passageways to get from one part of the stage to another. There's what are effectively dressing rooms set aside for costume changes. There's spare instruments (and techs to look after them) so if something goes wrong above they can be swapped out in the space of seconds. There's even a track and dolly system running the full length of the stage so that Taylor can be moved from one end to the other faster than she'd be able to walk.   I don't know the specifics of the Madonna tour to the same degree but my understanding is that a lot of the same techniques are used.
