Omg, no cider bus?

Cancel the festival

Hopefully the Belgians can lend us some cidré

[JoBalls]

Oh bloody hell, does this mean we'll have to start on the hard liquor first thing in the morning? My usual patchy memory of the festival is going to be non existent this year...

No cider at Glastonbury. See, that's what you get for not appeasing the Weather Gods. They need praise all the time. So, if you all wouldn't mind jumping over to the NFR NFC thread and repent then we may have a Glastonbury without cider, but at least it'll be a nice sunny Glastonbury. I suggest Pimms as your alternative to the cider. OK, so you've gone up a bit of a percentage alcohol by volume. Well, a lot really. I shouldn't let it worry you, you'll soon get into the swing of things. I guarantee that by 1am you'll feel like you are having a ball. By 2am you may well be seen by other patrons of the festival as having a physical disability. By 4am you will resemble a rabid dog, By 5am you actually have lift off and actually are performing Modern Dance, whether you like it or not.

I'm not sure how well my slices of strawberry, cucumber and apple will keep in a tent for 5 days (especially as it's going to be so hot)!!

Pimms? This is Glastonbury, not Wimbledon! In fact it's not even Glarstonbury.

[SloopJohnB]

It doesn't say anything about pears....to Brothers Bar!!!!

This year's cider will have been made with last year's apples so there shouldn't be a shortage in 2014.

[Greenelk]

If it means that Bulmers can't make "cider" anymore this can only be a good thing!

Please can I spend my Glastonbury with you? The Yoghurt on a Stick approach sounds like my kind of festival.

[Zoo Music Girl]

You can of course. They'll be a few of us in the same condition. Well, tens of thousands really.

Awesome. I want to do the kind of interpretative modern dance where you start on the floor rolled up in a ball and then slowly unfurl yourself like a flower in the sun.

I do tend to take anything I read in the Metro with a huge pinch of salt. I can point you all in the direction of a cracking little cider farm just off the M5 at J21 whose orchard hasn't been bit by floods.

I know I have posted this before but this is a very special modern dance performance worthy of our praise, and a lottery grant - in my opinion.

Businesses aren't going to allow themselves to go out of business. So they'll find alternative sources. Or maybe the Cider Bus will have to just sell vintage cider from previous years.

Wish I had some more likes for this!

[Zoo Music Girl]

It's a spectacular performance. What you see is two die hard professionals at the peak of their career. We'll not see the likes of that for another few years I'd say.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Oh, and I thought I'd seen it all. Look at this very late entry for the modern dance prize. This one puts the last two lads to shame;

I think I'll leave it at that as it speaks for itself.
