Nando's

Saw a quote recently attributed to Elmore Leonard "When you write, try to leave out all the parts readers skip" Wish George R.R. Martin had heeded this advice. For my tastes he spent too long describing everything, especially the all the different family standards.

Edit: Should say I did enjoy the books

What's your opinion on Tolkien then? :lol:

Do any of you put mayo on your chicken? If so, let me know so I can stick you on the ignore list for the rest of your life.

Mayo is horrific. Every supermarket meal deal for me is either a case of defaulting to a 'safe' option (Hoi Sin Duck wrap being the #1) or wasting time reading ingredients, usually resulting in things being slammed back down on the shelf.

I genuinely hope not and can't see it happening. Glastonbury is one of the last bastions of hope against the commercialisation of festivals. Having a Nando's would be akin to seeing a McDonalds Express popping up at The Park. Fuck. That.

I swear they used to have a Gourmet Burger Kitchen (chain restaurant) stand by the other stage. Not been there for a while tho.

The only thing I liked about v fest was the ability to get a large Domino's on the way back out of the arena At under a tenner it was a bargain.... dinner and breakfast in one!

I know exactly the van you mean, it caught me out as well at first glance as well. From what I remember it was there about 5 years ago, maybe a shade more. It definitely wasn't GBK, just a bog standard burger van trading off a variant of their name - think it had all the same words, just in a different order.

There's a pub up here in Gosforth called the Brandling Arms which does a tremendous selection of burgers. One particular monster is the 'dirty thoughts of Cheryl Cole'. It includes a Greggs Sausage Roll and Heinz Beans within it.... Byrons it's not, which is no bad thing!!

Sounds good. I've got all the time in the world for supporting original businesses, none whatsoever for pretending that the cookie cutter experience of chain restaurants represents anything other than eating cheap processed food.

    • 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.
    • Yup and they aren't cheap   Glastonbury is different though, it's a place that will pack out for rarities they don't usually see. Download strictly speaking shouldn't be the strangest place for Avril to pop up of she had been a touring artist of longer times over the years.   Avril and GC would get the same billing for me and GC are selling arenas out quicker than Avril sold Ally Pally. Bearing in mind she'd pnly done soem Brixton dates before.
    • Avril gets above GC on rarity (see Cypress Hill this year). She drew in something like 70,000 at Glastonbury, so much so that they had to close the field off. I’d wager that she would get the biggest crowd of the entire weekend if she was to play DL.
