My last Glasto was a sober one. Bit weird but still fun. Didn't find it too hard, but I hadn't had a drink for over a year at that point

I have done a few festivals sober, but never Glasonbury. When I chose to go on the wagon last time it was a fallow year and the year after I didn't go. Luckily I have work to keep me occupied as well :P

I met Rabid on these forums 8 1/2 years ago. On Saturday, I popped the question. He said YES! This makes me very, very happy!

Younger daughter Lizzie marked boyfriend Nathan's birthday yesterday by giving him a ticket (plus one for her) for the Green Man Festival. He responded by asking her to marry him.  I'm delighted

My new group of friends. I say new, but I've actually been hanging out with these guys for about 2 years now, but compared to the old group comprised of people I have known since school and college it us a new group.

It's such a different environment, the insecurities that polluted the old group aren't anywhere to be seen, so time isn't mostly spent on the defensive running others into the ground. The blokes are allowed to go out and stay out as late as they want because there's actually trust in their relationships, conversation is better, the level of maturity is higher despite most of them being 3 years younger.

Overall there's the fact that we're friends because we enjoy eachothers company whereas with the other group it always felt a bit forced - almost like we were friends due to convenience more than anything else.

Don't get me wrong - I'm not severing ties completely, in fact I still see the others quite regularly, but knowing that that bunch of fickle and unreliable characters aren't my only option for social interaction makes me very happy :P

aw that's good. your other pals did sound like idiots. :P

Apple Donuts!

:P

Lol, I don't know what your brother looks like, so I may or may not have said hi to him! :P

Small, short hair, glasses, Black Country twang to his accent, probably f**king around with his iPhone or talking to the landlord about the ales (he's involved in Sussex CAMRA).

Anyway - I'm happy today because I'm going to a wedding and seeing loads of old mates for the first time in ages - not seen most of them since my son was born.

The wife is staying home with the lad so I can let my hair down a little bit - it doesn't happen very often!!

I love this thread! Tis nice to acknowledge the things in life we are grateful for/happy about!

Today i'm happy because the sun is shining, the washing is drying on the line and I can stand up straight for the first time in a week after knackering my back doing the garden last weekend.

I'm really grateful for my friends - some of whom I might not see from one year to the next, but who I know will be in my life forever just because of their fantasticness!

I got onto the Documentary Photography course at the University of Newport and I cannot wait! It is something that I am so passionate about and it is regarded as the best course in the country for that area.

On top of that I have an amazing girlfriend, have taken up running and am thoroughly enjoying it and am going to Glasto '10....isn't life great when you take a step back from the daily stresses.

What a great thread.

Just got back from an absolutely cracking time jamming with my mates in a completely empty Horsham Park, had the whole house to myself today and tommorow I don't have to be in college till 1:30.

Seriously, could life get any better than this? :P :P

a) do you go to Collyers? And b.) what secondary school did you go to? Humour me :P

      My understanding is that the queues returning back to the UK will be much worse (up to two hours) but the queue entering Lisbon isn’t so bad. That’s just from reading a few forum posts about it though so take it with a pinch of salt!

      I'm British so it very much would apply for me.   I mean, it's a moot point as I don't have tickets so will not be in town for this, but I've heard reports of lengthy queues and given I remember Lisbon Airport having a long queue at arrivals even pre-EES when I went in 2023, I seem to guess it might be quite the wait, depending on flight paths.   Certainly, the worst I've had pre-EES was a 45 minute wait for a stamp at Valencia Airport in Spain, where 4 flights to non-EU destinations in quick succession were placed one after the other. So I can't say I'm enthusiastic about what's in store. Or you know. Maybe I'm just overthinking it.
