I think we've gone 3-2 up, but there's still 30 minutes left to play... we're wining, possibly too early

 

Couple of the defenders are on yellow cards though.

I think people need to make a distinction between weather and mud.

 

For example:

 

2005 - weather good, mud bad

2007 - weather bad, mud bad

2008 - weather good, mud good

...

2014 - weather good, mud bad

2015 - ???

 

 "Take this object, but beware it carries a terrible curse!

 

Ooh, that's bad

 

But it comes with a free frogurt!

 

That's good

 

The frogurt is also cursed

 

That's bad."

But you get a choice of toppings!

So to summarise (been paint balling this morning) things are looking better yeah? How Phil Jones are we?

[Magma]

Yeah 3am ish I think. Was up in the Stone Circle for the first flash of lightning - big defiant cheer. 2nd (closer) crack a minute later and people scarpered. 

 

We were fucked.

 

We had a friend sharing a tent with us that year (had expected him to bring his own, but he arrived direct from Copenhagen with nothing but the clothes he was wearing and so had to sleep in our porch) - he'd put himself to bed at around 1am thinking it was a big muggy out, so left the tent door open for some air and promptly fell into what must have been nigh-on a coma - luckily mine and my girlfriend's bit was safely zipped up.

 

Drowned rat doesn't even come close. He spent the entire weekend drying his stuff out! 

 

But gosh... the feeling of taking the wellies off and dancing to Brian Wilson on dry ground.... I don't think I'll ever top that.

You need to put Pilton, Somerset in rather than Glastonbury.

 

Sets it back to white cloud everyday.

[A Guy Called Matt]

I thought the Ref was called Bill

Put Malaga looks even better

I'll still take that

Going back to the old GlastoWeatherWatch scale, I've always been a big fan of "Pleasantly cloudy" with a bit of "Good time sunshine", but I'd take "Sunburn Hell" over "Deeply Unpleasant" and "Totally minging" weather any day.

[Mark it Zero!]

I'd take anything that doesn't turn the site into a mudbath. I think that's the debate on last year, in context the weather wasn't too bad, shy of two (or three) disgraceful downpours.

The issue last year the mud was pretty bad, suddenly the option between a twenty minute slog up hill to the Park Stage to see a band you're half-fussed about, or hiding in the TIny Tea Tent for another hour leans towards the latter.

 

For me that always leads to an inferior Glastonbury, although it never makes it bad enough to make me not want to come back (2007 came close to breaking me).

And the other two are titus Bramble and Djimi Traore. Literally anything could happen.

 

The opposition are thinking of bringing on their American super-sub "Bill"

 

Lets hope he's as potent as Jozy Altidore

Hope Bill is the next Freddie Adu. Started off strong but faded to nothing

I've always been a NFR,NFC sort of chap (though not the actual thread..) but looking back I do have to admit that most of my best Glastonbury stories are from muddy years. 

 

It's an entirely different experience, for sure... and it can be properly HARD (2007 really was deeply, deeply unpleasant at times... I even got in trouble trying to perk myself up with something naughty and found myself being semi-glad of a few hours under the roofs of the Bath & West Showground)... but it's also the best time to see a random Glastonbury act of kindness and it seems to nuke everyone's inhibitions even quicker than the old 2 litre bottles of Brothers on a hot Wednesday in Jazzworld!
