Mike99 would be proud that a thread bearing his name has gone to 7 pages so far and now has almost no relevance to the festival itself......I vote it continues in such a manner until the great man himself makes an appearance.

While we're all confessing. My real name is Phillip, another shocker of a name IMO. My parents just didnt seem to have any imagination as if id have been born a girl they were genuinly going to call me Phillipa. I also have a brother who was given the brilliant name of Tony, not Anthony which is shortened to Tony, just Tony.....no middle names either, w*nkers !

My avatar is me at Glastonbury 2009 on the Sunday before Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It was my stag weekend and the picture is a constant reminder when Im on here of how happy the place makes me when im there.

I'm an Arsenal fan so that got me the 'Gooner' bit and the first world cup I watched was Italia 90 so hence the '1990' part. (not the year I was born as commonly thought - that was actually 1981!)

The avatar is Paul Merson who was my boyhood hero (along with Ian Wright) celebrating beating Spurs in the 1993 FA Cup semi final.

My actual name is Stuart

:)

As mentioned earlier in this thread my real name is Rich, which oddly comes out as Shag on my predictive text...

My forum name references my dog...a Parson Jack Russell terrier. My avatar is a very early shot of Roger Waters...possibly from a promo film for Arnold Layne or See Emily Play.

Oh...and my middle name is Miles. How very 60's.

I get certain 'commodities' from a young lady from the Black Country. The stories she tells of the goings on there are depraved. It would appear that the good burghers of the Black Country would put Caligula to shame. I'm not sure with all that activity that they have time to drink a kipper tie of a morning. They do, however, get the best quality gear that I'm after, and a shed load cheaper than you can get it in other parts of the country eg. I met an afficiondo of a certain commodity at a festival this year who lived in Oxford. He was paying three times what I was paying for the same item of the same quality. I didn't have the heart to tell him.

    • 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.
