You made a lot of very passionate posts in a thread about the World Cup - not unreasonable posts either I might add, although I disagreed - and said that football wasn't what Glastonbury was about.

Would you agree that comments like your first post in this thread are rather anti-Glastonbury? Wishing cancer on someone? I find that sort of comment highly distasteful and so it would seem do the majority of people who have replied on this thread. If you can't understand or appreciate why others might and indeed do get offended by such a remark, I suggest you think very carefully before you hit 'add reply'.

I've not had time to read through all the comments so sorry if this has already been mentioned: I saw that Ian Wright hosted show on Channel 5 last night and two guys who blagged their way into the Brits and met Robbie (photo proof) said he left after 20 mins with his gf. He was not drinking alcohol because he is tee total. So how you met him and had this conversation with him when he was drunk is a complete mystery to me............. :P

If you can sing i have less of a problem with it.

examples of acts i dont mind include Elvis, early Rolling Stones, Sinatra etc

when your badly singing someone elses words, whats the point?

wallinger illustrated this point beautifully at SXSW - he stopped halfway through 'shes the one' and simply said 'and i know who she is'

No it isn't. You've clearly no idea what it's like to live with and loose people you love to the big c, and your flippancy shows this.

I'm quite happy to talk about cancer. I just don't tend to use it in humour. Because there isn't that much funny about it really.

I'm over this conversation. I should have gone straight to moderators without engaging, frankly.

It was clearly a throwaway comment. A way of expressing my disappointment that he might be playing.

If you cant see that then god help you.

I'm not going to start apologising for absolutely harmless jokes made on an internet forum.

I've actually watched and RW concert on the TV, which I quite enjoyed (small cigars to blame probably :P ), and I'm sure he'd be a great warm-up act for SW. RW without doubt knows how to get a crowd going. Neither are what I want to see sat in a field in Somerset though, so I'll be elsewhere, but I'm sure fans of either/both will have a lovely time.

The cancer thing? My sister has just been given the all clear, but as she was told there is never a complete fix for cancer - you might get lucky, you probably won't, the issue being rather more likely to be when rather than if.

Edit : Got my mucking fords wuddled...

Surely as soon as you write anything on a PUBLIC forum, it is the "business" of every member of the forum. If you want something to remain none of anyone else's business, keep it to yourself.

Back on topic, I'm not a Robbie fan and generally think he's a bit of a twat but he's got a lot of great songs behind him and I think he'd be a great warm up for Stevie. Whether I go (if it's true) or not depends on what else is on but I wouldn't avoid it like the plague.

Oh and I hate to burst anyone's balloon, but Robbie actually HAS contributed towards the writing of his songs. Certainly a damn sight more than Liam Gallagher.

What, Liam Gallagher doesn't write any songs? What about Meaning of Soul, Guess God thinks I'm Able, Soldier On, Songbird?

Ok, 3 out of them 5 are shit, but he still wrote them.

    • Another note, if I didn't mention the food in the arena for main stage is right at the back. Bands wise they do very well for but as a festival so far they pros are outweighed quite heavily currently for me.
    • On another note for RIP as an event, there is some good things but there are so many things people going to UK festivals would hate and how far behind they are.  Consistent network and water, beer and pretzel like food is brought around to buy in the crowds. Topping up on the wristband is good. The camping and food arrangement is not good, you really need cooking kit. Water points inside the arena are bonkers, water points in camping are a faff unless you are close enough in general camp. Merch stands are crazy. You MASSIVELY need to think about your lidl shop for camping and try and do it so you've one stop. It's definitely worth it getting to a camping shop here, picking up a rolley between your mates and stacking it for the walk back....lidl is cheap though, not hard getting in but Thursday queues getting in and into the camping is mad. You have to register first for a wristband as well leaving any bigger bags behind so pull to a side if only two and do it separately. I was joining a WhatsApp group for solo camp so went with the flow but I've learnt. Had it been me or just two my tent would have been down much quicker.  Big final note, I got a fresh and black 3 man from decathlon before coming and put in bigger suitcase with my airbed and sleeping bag...do this. Take a smaller option for your clothes. If you go to Munich first, book your train to Nuremberg as far in advance as you can....very important!....it hikes crazy. Probably bettee overall for baggage sizes to do BA both ways but you do then need to go back to Munich after too. Use the B&B hotel hbf the night before....its very nice, comfortable, cheap and within 10 minutes of the station which also serves as a transport stop 15 minutes from the registration.  Get up literally like 5am with everything back the night before, shower and go. Transport is free anyway for festival ticket holders during the duration.  Would I just choose to travel in each day and back to a hotel?, on the basis of sleep and getting accommodation cheap enough for 3 nights i might just do especially if I picked the ticket up early enough. It doesn't feel like a festival in a normal sense....unless you are in general yoi have to exit on the paths outside the camping to walk down and in which also applies for getting water so have a stock up. Toilets are in the camping.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
