2005. Was great and then turned into a disaster.

This year is going to be a disaster too. I know, it, you know it and Eavis knows it. Big thunderstorm, site gets flooded, we all churn up the site and we're fucked.

Get out.

I think a light morning rain wouldn't be too bad, stop by mid day ish on one of the days. It won't flood.

You remember how in about 2007 they spent 750 grand on improving drainage and you're talking utter shite?

Thats a myth. It was still a mudbath for parts of 2009 and 2011. There just wasn't the same amount of rain. You're kidding yourself. Time to live in the real world. The fact that the weather has been nice is a bad thing. It simply can't last.

Its going to be awful. Hailstones the size of snooker balls, swirling gusts of unforgiving wind, relentless rain, winged serpents descending from the skies and snatching folk away like subbuteo men, the ground opening up like The Great Pit of Carkoon with loved ones dropping into the bleak darkness forever, widespread fires, swarms of locusts hollowing through peoples eye sockets, Bryan Ferry playing on the West Holts. Really, really bad.

Didn't accidentally put acid in your corn flakes this morning did you?

I think we're talking a different scale of mudbath tbh. Maybe a couple of acres got that bad (crossing into Dance from camping, path through Park...) but the rest was hunky dory

If noone's using a canoe it's not really wet

      It'd be new album stuff if it were to happen I think.  First 2027 headliner in the bag also?

      Hilarious to describe this as suprising, for the guy who can't afford to go on holiday, the guy who goes on holiday is rich, for the guy who goes on holiday, the guy who gets 3 holidays a year is rich, for the guy who gets 3 holidays, the guy who stays in 5* hotels is rich, for the guy who stays in 5* hotels, the guy that flies business class is rich, for the guy who flies business class the guy with a private jet is rich etc..   I think one of the greens video's that they put out that went viral, Zacks description of "the rich" covered 12 people in the UK.
