mr gumby Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Evening all Apologies for my absence over the last couple of days. My roaming data limit was reached while we were away (I blame the obsessive checking for resales!), and I'm buggered if I'm going to give EE any more money, so I had to wait until I got home to wifi before I could post. Thanks to @Milky Joe for continuing the countdown this morning. Here's my thought for the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bennyhana22 Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Hi all @ourkid1984 - traffic will be a breeze and you'll not queue and, as people say, there'll be plenty of room. How exciting! I have to say that, for whatever reason, my 'proper' Glastonbury obsession has kicked in just this evening. I mean, I was already thinking about it and excited of course...but tonight my real GF fever has started. That will now mean that I will think about almost nothing else for the next 5 weeks, and need to be mindful not to mention it all the time at home, for fear of making everyone (even more!) fed up with me. I know it's started because I am feeling that genuine frustration at not having the full line-up, so I can begin the military operation that is planning my festival. When I think about 'other' festivals, they are a breeze to plan in comparison. You usually know the running order at least several weeks beforehand and, using the pretty consistent stage times from previous years, you can therefore populate a 99% accurate clashfinder....containing only 4-5 stages! Glastonbury? I can't even look at the clashfinder as it's too huge to manage. So I create a sheet for each day with hour sections and go through every aspect of the Beast, populating it as closely as I can. That takes forever!! In summary, I need the frickin' full line-up toot sweet please, Emily! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Like you Ben my obsession has gone in overdrive today brought on by boredom of being home and unwell and also knowing I now have no big plans until Glastonbury so just wanna completely concentrate on my plans for the festival and yes it's exciting!

Ben I cant commit to anyone until i see the full line up and running order Theres been little bits on most of the stages announced so far that i like so im bound to have loads of clashes Do i sacrifce what i know will be a great set from someone ive seen before for someone i like but have never experienced live? When the first poster arrived i was a definate for Ezra Furman, Elo, Zz top, the last shadow puppets, band of horses but i cant say for certain that any of those will make the final 3 each day. Its really solid undercard for me I made the mistake of looking at clashfinder once and that put man and the echo, Ezra Furman and Zz Top all on at the same time so i refused to believe it and decided to wait these last couple of weeks before making my mind up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curlygirl Posted May 16, 2016 Report Share Posted May 16, 2016 Evening all. This morning I got to see Baby and sister. They are both fab but sister is very tired. I went to work and everyone I passed said "not long now Kerrie!!" That really means that everyone in my establishment knows I love the farm... And I work with over a 1000 people! 5 fricking weeks on Wednesday. I'd take going on Thursday than not at all! But I do love the Wednesday to wander around and meet people.

This I'm dreading, but I think I'd go for the latter. Or just run between each one repeatedly...The other factor is the 'may never see again' pushing it up the clashfinder list.

I'm thinking the traffic will be a lot better at that time anyway and questions to get in will be less stressful. So I'm not too upset about it after being convinced that there will be plenty of room. The whiskey has been drunk but I only have a shower so that had to do! It's my dads go to remedy for any illness so he forced me to do it I'm hoping to still make the meet even if we are a little late. Ooh are we neighbouroonies? Do we know each other in real life? I'll PM you! Morning all! Got my car back from the garage last night. It had it's MOT and failed on a wiper blade and a bulb. My car is almost 19 years old!! So that's one big thing out of the way and now my excitement levels can ramp up! I'm just waiting for a date for a little operation (won't be before glast now) and once I know when that is, I can concentrate fully on the festival!! I keep forgetting I've got another festival on bank holiday weekend!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlosj Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Afternoon all, I've forgotten to listen in to BSR's spotify list again. I've missed 4 days of being able to check new bands to go see. I shouldn't even be on here as I'm sorting out work whilst multitasking on practicing for a job interview tomorrow afternoon. OK, Spotify from tomorrow afternoon, taking the van out this weekend, and that's my Glastonbury prep done for this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatyeti24 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Hullo all, I regale thee from the departure area of Manchester airport. In the last day and a bit I've done England to Wales to Ireland to Wales to England and soon back to Ireland. Planes, trains, automobiles and ferries. All in the name of moving house. That's after a weekend of drinking that left a certain efester needing a trip to a&e. Last leg now. Hope your all not as fuckered as I am.
