Nyika Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 A lot of my friends dropped out of university to apply to a different one and had little choice but to go on JSA, £50 a week isn't much when you're parents ask for rent which is at least half of that! Lucy, however, hasn't even claimed jobseekers in over 6 months, so I don't know how she could have saved £130 of thin air... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Why don't you just be big about it and admit your original post was rude, patronising and full of supposition and then go back to fingering your copy of the Conservative manifesto?

Rachie Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Give up on the third rate trolling Mr 'I Understand the Value of Money' changing the subject is a bit primary school debating standard isn't it? I thought we were talking about someone in the UK on JSA. You seem to be implying JSA could be a lot lower as the cost of living elsewhere in the world is much less? Sounding more Tory with every post. None of your business I'm sure, but what makes you assume that other people's parents can afford to keep their adult offspring without any contribution to bills? Why don't you just be big about it and admit your original post was rude, patronising and full of supposition and then go back to fingering your copy of the Conservative manifesto?

beamends Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Lucy - have you considered working for CTM at the festival? If I were you I'd take up the offers of help, but I can understand your dilemma, so that could be an alternative? Having said that, I've just had their terms and conditions through for Glastonbury (luckily we just manage to scrape enough together to pay off the balance so we won;t have to go down that route) - they are pretty shit! Hope it all works out ok for you. CTM - www.cashandtrafficmanagement.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamseyboy Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hope you get it sorted. The jamseyboy household has just had a big discussion about it and we all agree that life is too short and you need to make the most of it. Consider your options and if need be think about working during the festival.....I know its not ideal but its an option. Hope you get it sorted.

norainplease Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 How about we all chip it a quid, there's bound to be 150 peeps on here that would chip in a quid for a fellow Glasto lover? As for the getting any job thing - to be honest at this stage it is probably a bit late? Even if you could get a job say tomorrow, by the time they get round to paying you it would be too late! I say we all chip in £1 and get Lucy to Glasto!! Lucy - I'll get you your first pint at the Riflesmans too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Lucy , go pull a football player over the weekend then ring Max Clifford first thing monday morning. Chose the team carefully tho Pilton FC would not be a good start ! On a more serious note hop things work out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norainplease Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Admirable sentiment, but how many Glasto regulars didn't get a ticket because they knew they wouldn't be able to afford it? I can see this getting expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipmatt Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yeah I suppose, but still it makes me sad to know that so many people are going to miss it that love it! I would be gutted to miss it I am just feeling particularly charitable today, to be honest I am not even sure how it would work if there were 150 folk who wanted to chip in a quid!

LittlemissC Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Ok lets get this back into the real world here - Lucy, i'm sorry for your hardship and I hope you sort something, but come on folks - how many others do you think are in this situation? We're very lucky that we can pay a deposit for a ticket with MONTHS to save and pay the balance. I have a few good friends who couldn't get tickets and believe me they are gutted, ie, it's one of life's disappointments that are hard but recoverable from. And what of those that have some unforseen nightmare and can't go? I'm sorry but I don't agree with this "everyone give a £1" crap - I LOVE Glasto but sometimes we can't always get what we want. Try your best to pay your deposit, or simply start saving for next year and make sure that you avoid being in this position again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
