Hi All,

This year will be the second glasto for me, first was in 2019. I stayed in a local hotel the night before and rocked up to the car park reasonably early, walked right in at Gate D - good camping spot in Paines (others who stayed in car park overnight queued for 5 hours at Gate A!!!). I’ve plumped for a campervan this year, can not wait to be back. 🙌🏼

It's gonna be a great year, I can feel it.  Welcome, GlastoMom.  See you in the fields

Hello. I'm Redbear. Been a member of this forum for 15 years but am VERY shy. Got tickets in the resale to complete a run visits to the farm since 1999. Love to you all x

I've had to create another account - I forgot my last username!!

I didn't get tickets in the resale *cough* didn't release there was one!!

but I/we had planned to get a stall and we just found out our application was sucessful - yay, first time with a patch. although I had volunteered with Oxfam before (I highly highly recommend volunteering) this feels better

been to glasto loads of times, but I always feel excited - like when I was kid really looking forward to christmas

Sounds exciting. What kind of stall? 

There's a thread somewhere about food if it needs adding to that 😊

It's in the green craft area, (I still have to submit loads of documents yet, fingers crossed nothing daft will happen)

Greencrafts field has always been my favourite part of the festival, I generally spend about 20% to 30% of my conscious time there - so to "potentially" get a place on there is one of my glasto dreams come true

I had thought about getting a basic food stall - similar to tea and toast one, but after really thinking about it, I'd rather do something I enjoy than make money

Sounds great, hope it goes well. 

There will be plenty of the regular efesters in that vicinity I'm sure 😊

Hi everyone! Not new at all, but I got banned on Sunday for 3 months because "idiot topic, no post content, title only". Which makes absolutely no sense because I haven't made any topics recently; I've been far too busy with gigs, work, seeing friends etc

@Neil @eFestivalsThink you've made a mistake tbh

the comment i made was correct and you did start that topic, can you please call off your irrational idiot.

What topic do you even mean?

the one you startewd that was a meaningless topic title and nothing else

I promise you that I have absolutely no idea what you mean. Maybe my finger slipped or something and I accidentally made a topic, but I can't remember knowingly making any topics recently.  I don't gain anything from making meaningless topics, therefore the logical conclusion is that whatever I posted was probably an accident.

Also who on earth is this "irrational idiot" you are talking about? 

[Gilgamesh96]

When was this topic made?

someone who claims to be acting for you.

it was no slip, if you cant remember what you do are you safe to be doing anything.

I have absolutely no idea who or what you are talking about. If there is someone acting for me then they are doing it of their own accord.

Why would I make a meaningless topic?

Tell me when this topic was made.

if you don't know then how do you explain many of your topics.

some people like the sound of their own voice.

just before your account was warned.

Sure I may have made light-hearted topics in the past - probably because this is the internet and people are allowed to have fun, not everyone takes things so seriously. But I certainly wouldn't make meaningless topics. 

Okay so my warning was received at 5:32pm on Sunday. I was working that day, from 10:30am til 6pm. A very busy day at work in fact, being that I work at a pub and it was a bank holiday weekend. At that point I was deep cleaning an area of the kitchen. All I can think is that maybe my phone got wet while I was cleaning and it accidentally posted a topic. Stuff like that has happened before - just a few weeks ago my phone got wet while I was working and it accidentally sent a load of gibberish messages to people on WhatsApp.

 

Accidents happen, but I can assure you I have no problems with my memory.

and that accident included correctly spelt coherent words, what a miracle.

That's completely possible, it doesn't require a miracle. Phones have predictive text and autocorrect these days.

 

I don't know what else I can say. I've already explained myself clearly and anyone else would have understood and unbanned me by now, but you seem to be convinced that I've done something wrong when I can promise you I am guilty of no wrongdoing. If I did make some meaninglessness topic then I can assure you it must have been an accident - I was far too busy on Sunday to be posting on here.

yeah, and they don't build a full coherent sentence by accident.

Except they do... that's literally how predictive text works.

Why are you so convinced that I am guilty, instead of just understanding that whatever happened was obviously a mistake?

it was fairly typical of your posting, nothing of it lo9ooked like an accident unless you think everyoine should think all of your posts to be accidents.
