Anyone still in recovery?

Yes, I finally received my notifiable disease form in the post today.

Still suffering from the presence of campylobacter. 80 - 90 % of cases clear within a week... sometimes it can go on for 2 to 3 months!

I've had all but one of the symptoms, even the rare ones.

I've got to make a third appointment with my Dr next week as symptons are still present and the next step is to try some antibiotics.

Not norovirus then? Sounded just like it. Hope you feel better soon :)

I was back on my feet by the Thursday, tbh. I'd spent alot of time preparing physically, not feeling confident in my abilities, the result of which was that I had more stamina than any previous festival and my recovery time was minimal (day and a half of sleep, half a day of cleaning up afterwards).

Friend of mine's dad came back from 2009 with Swine flu :)

so what do you reckon caused it ? Undercooked meat or water ?

Struggling a bit with the booze since I got back, drinking far more than I should. I have always struggled with booze since I was a lad, but thought I was controlling it a bit in the weeks leading up to Glasto. Even went for a few bike rides in the evenings to get a bit fitter, haven't been for a ride (bike) since Glasto

Need to snap out of it, and cut down a bit... No, a lot

Get a grip man!

I went to Berlin on the tuesday, via Copenhagen. Me and a mate watched Patti Smith, supported by the brilliant Calexico, at Zitadelle Spandau, then had a couple of days absorbing ourselves in the sun, history and beers of my favourite city in the world. So my Glastonbury recovery only started a week after the festival and if I'm being honest still isn't complete. But nearly there.

I'll be honest.....

I got piles at Glasto this year.

Just NEVER EVER eat a load of chillies at a festival. It doesn't mix well with alcohol at all. It hurts like a bitch and the toilet facilities don't help too much!

I think it's fully healed now, thank god.

Had a few gigs then went to Hyde Park the weekend after Glasto to listen to the stones outside, then saw arctics in Italy and finally back to Hyde park to listen to the stones again so my Glasto comedown only really started Monday properly, and boy has it hard.

I've now used all my holiday/money up and have nothing to look forward to until Xmas (or getting tickets in October). Why can't it be glasto every day?

Not really had chance yet. Saw The Stones in London the weekend after and this weekend as well. Partied in Brighton after the first gig and did an all nighter in London this. Travelled from Scotland each time so with Glastonbury as well I've travelled about 3,000 miles going to gigs in the last 3 weeks.

I think the comedown will kick in this Saturday night. Great few weeks though!

    • It was always going to be the cost. stuff like this:    
    • Man/Woman/Chainsaw anyone? Still 4-5 secret sets to be filled.   New album out today and Rough Trade friendly.       
    • can't edit, but just to add to the above:   i get that the last bit is meant to reinforce the message that they are all horrible people and closing ranks to cover up what has happened and carry on with their lives while poor Celeste is left alone with her trauma...   i get it thematically, i just really hated the way it was on screen and i say that my ending would have made for a better movie.   🙂   
    • Sadly, the ticket map below screams rear 5 blocks not on sale or never have been on sale. Especially when you look at the blue blocks with rows of unsold tickets.   And I say all of this as a big fan of Muse.  
    • Personally, I don't think there will be any changes to the queuing system in place for the 2025 sale.  GFL will be aware that true bots are a risk, but they may also see large collectives of organised folks running multiple devices, containers or profiles to get an advantage as bots themselves, and then struggle to know where to draw the line without penalising folks who are simply more on the ball than others.   They will also be acutely aware that engineering tech to close those gaps will cost, and therefore eat into the money they are able to pass to the Charities, without passing those costs on to punters in the ticket price, which they will be cautious of doing especially after a 2 year break and the inevitable media coverage that will get.   This may all be naive and overly trusting of me though.....
