Did anyone else get accosted by an essentially homeless Stan Collymore in the mud in 2007?

We were watching Editors subbing the Other and he basically introduced himself by saying, 'Does anyone want a picture taken with me?' We mostly ignored him!

Keith Allen and I went past each other naked, him exiting the Lost Horizon sauna and me entering. He looked at me and said "bloody laaarvely that was, bloody laaarvely!" And he's right, it is bloody laaarvely!

I was walking along the market stall on a roasting day in 2010 with my blockheads t shirt on and an elderly guy in a white suit with his daughter stopped me. We had a chat and he explained he was the King of the Blockheads and generally had a little talk about the festival. Didn't think anything more of it then a couple of weeks later went on holiday and bought the Q GLASTO special for the plane journey. Spots a picture of the old man in celebrity section and realises it was Sir Peter Blake. Gutted about all the things I could have asked him about the Beatles etc. Lovely chap .

I bumped into John Bramwell ( lead singer of I am Kloot ) at the fork of the entrance to Kidney mead by the old Queens head in 2010. Had a drunken chat for about 20 seconds, both of us trollied, along the lines of " Hey John how you doing, great album, i think your great" he replied, Great cheers, how's your festival", i replied, " Great thanks, see you" :)

    • World Cup 2026: What is happening with ticket prices? - BBC Sport   Sounds like Infantino has been learning from his buddy if he's running around claiming its all sold out while quietly dumping tickets below face on assorted secondary websites.
    • Mac DeMarco also cancelled 
    • 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.
    • Out of interest keep seeing messages saying last 12 hours etc… to buy you full weekend tickets.  Whats that about? Do they take them off sale early?
