This will be my 13th I think, unlucky for some.

It will be the 20th anniversary of my first one '90

I shall be celebrating by decorating the zimmer with tinsel and fairylights. I may spike my thermos of tea with a slug of scotch, push the boat out........

I shall also repeatedly declare to anyone that may want to listen, that "i remember when this was all just fields"

Unless anyone has got any better ideas?

this will be my 4th (2007,2008,2009,2010) along with 2 mates...

2007 & 2008 - took large tent with 3 bedrooms (but quite heavy to carry & took ages to erect)

2009 - took pop-up tents (light to carry but not much room)

2010 - mate has bought a camper van & it will (hopefully) be renovated in time - if not, i have a trailer tent as a back up...

my brother wants to go this year as he hasn't been since 1986 (when acts included: The Cure, Madness, Simply Red, The Housemartins, The Waterboys, Pogues and Level 42 - poor bloke, how he suffered !)

Attendance: 60,000 (it must've been empty !)

Tickets:£17. Programme: £1. (cheap as chips !)

anyway, he said that they were stuck in a traffic jam for hours to get in, so eventually they all got out & just walked in...he said the place was teeming with drug-pushers and he was quite scared (he was in his 30's then), but consequently 1990 was the year of the massive security problems with over-crowding, so it must've been getting worse each year...

he got married in 1992 & hasn't been allowed to go til now...he registered last month, so i'm going to try to get him & his mate tickets in the re-sale...

fingers crossed x

This year will be my 14th. My God, has it really been that many. Much has changed, but not so much that it doesn't still feel more like home than any other place on Earth for me.
