Nando's

Can I add the A Song of Ice and Fire series to the overrated list? I do actually enjoy the TV show, but reading the books was a poor experience. I endured up to the 3rd book as my mates persuaded me too, but I just felt I was wasting my time with it. I do read, but I don't read bollocks like that.

I can't stand buzzfeed. It recently ran an article entitled, '47 things you've done if you've lived in Wrexham.' Half of which I haven't done and the cheesy memes pissed me off. It's click bate for the idiotic.

The only one that counts for Wrexham is leaving!

For fucks sake, you've been one of the best posters round here recently then you go and say stupid things like that.

Led Zeppelin. Not that they're bad, just nothing like as good as people say.

Oh and Pink Floyd. 1 1/2 decent albums and loads of boring noodling + elevator music? No thanks.

Sgt. Pepper is massively over rated. People say it's the best album of all time. It isn't even in the top 3 beatles albums.

It's good, but it isn't all that.

Hehehe, Never mind the political threads, this is where it's all going to kick off. I predict schism and internecine strife by the end of today.

Can we rename the thread? I begrudge the advertising.

Aww "cheeky Nando's" is a national thing? I thought it was the verbal tick of the 18 year-old envelope licker at my work, never heard anybody else say it. I'm going to stop having polite office banter centered around it when he comes to do the post in future, I feel betrayed, it appears there's not a single original facet of his personality or life.

It is very much a manchester thing. I am forever hearing people say it

I live on the fringes of polite society, all of my friends are no-account weirdos, cultural phenomena often pass me by.

The majority of people on my facebook newsfeed will probably disagree with you/me!

Really? I mean people share shit from it, but nobody says it's actually good do they? I suppose if anyone likes it at all then you could say it's overrated, but to be overrated normally refers to something that is generally held up as being great. Buzzfeed is generally held up as being a bit shit.

To be fair I'm only really judging by the amount of times that people have posted a Buzzfeed link and said something along the lines of "Oh my god this is so true, I can totally relate to this". I suppose if they can relate to it then they probably don't think it's shit...

Is there any major chains that sell at glasto?

The closest I can remember is that Byron had a stall a few years ago (2010 or 2011 I think).

To be fair Nando's IS better than at least 1/3 of the food at Glastonbury.

And worse than at least half. And more expensive than most of those as well - which given Glastonbury prices are generally considered to be inflated is ridiculous.

I don't mind Nandos, aside from it being horrifically overpriced for what it is, but let's be realistic, there's dozens if not hundreds of better options at Glastonbury. Most of the prices grilling Jerk Chicken for a start.

Ive never had jerk chicken.

Me neither and in my local town centre there's a stall that cooks it in an oil drum, it's main customers seem to be Caribbean and it smells so good so it must be the good stuff. One day.

    • 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.
