MilkyJoe Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 (edited) Evening good folks of the desperation thread! Just started my latest night shift and caught up on the 10 pages that I've missed this afternoon. Lots of negativity on here today and lots of people throwing in the towel. Sad to see and I guess you all know your cut off point but I'm carrying on. I have nothing better to do.

I think people just have a temporary loss of faith when another working day (for 9-5ers anyway) comes to an end. Back at it again tomorrow.

Yeah I suppose understandably people get a bit fed up towards the end of the day. I'm sleeping off a night shift at that time of day so I usually miss it. Realistically I guess one would expect it to happen this week or not at all although there is nothing stopping me from trying for a couple of weeks yet.

MilkyJoe Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Just out of interest, has anybody applied for Dc site services volunteering? I posted the link yesterday. Closes 6pm tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markian Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 I'm sticking it out after a minor wobble losing my bank card last week. Holidays are booked at work anyway. Even if it's a few days before, it'd be quite easy for them to just tell you to turn up at gate a with an email and I.D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morethanaphelan Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Held crisis talks with the missus tonight. An enterprising associate of a Liverpool-based pal has offered us a route in, which is not without its risks. Our original plan was to go to the festival and then go home (Ireland) in July, on the same weekend as Latitude. I'm yet to make a firm decision on the back of the refrigerated van but my enthusiasm has significantly waned since hearing it while pissed. In all likelihood we're going to go to the line and come June 20 we'll be bound for Holyhead if not Pilton. If that happens, I have a week of my mum feeding me and I will likely be sunning myself and eating Waitrose olives with the hoi polloi at Latitude in July. It's not ideal, but it's hardly a disaster.

Yeah, always a risk involved going in by more unconventional methods mate and especially so if you have a long way to travel. It's nice to know there are other avenues though for the highly determined! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The missus would almost definitely just go back to work though. I think it would be too big a tail between our legs and any prospect of a festival will have disappeared because we'd have to use the July weekend to go back to Ireland. As you say though, talk to the right people and you may have shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a little surprised that the campervans and caravans didn't have a sold out on it before yesterday to be honest. At least it shows things are still happening at See...

andyb66 Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Morning all. Might have to ease back on my visits to this thread as my lack of work the last couple of weeks has been noted by the boss ( and I don't mean the wife!!) I'll just have to rely on check page alerts should any golden tickets come up for grabs. But saying that my typing skills are atrocious so I think in all honesty the chances of me bagging a ticket are about as slim as the chances of my Mrs going past a shoe shop and saying ' nah, I don't need any footwear... let's go home and watch the rugby' You can tell I'm an optimistic sort of bloke! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
