What fatyeti said.

:-(

Also, it's not good having no sleep and then going to work as opposed to no sleep and then going to West Holts.

Yeah, a few days ago I was pondering how unfair it was that I had to make tea and tidy up rather than wander around drinking 6 litres of farmhouse cider.

Can you not do both?

I've managed to go 2 full weeks without brushing my teeth with cider or considering the first joint of the day to be breakfast. Go me!

I could I suppose, I should have written "wander around a field full of flags and music and nicely sozzled people drinking 6 litres of cider"

I haven't taken a dump in a wheelie bin since I got home. 

I miss it a bit.

The neighbours aren't talking to me since I shouted at their spaniel to stop peeing on the land.

I'm really crashing spiritually and mentally. Much worse this time than last year, don't know why. I'm struggling even to bring myself to post in here as I'm missing it so much. So long to go, and the fear of no ticket next year. I must stop bursting into tears when Adele comes on the radio as the family are starting to get concerned. I really, really need to get a grip. Last few posts have inspired me..... if I could encourage thousands of people to walk through my garden, thereby churning it up into a liquid quagmire, I could camp out in it for a few nights.

Chin up ToS!  It suonds as though we have the ingredients to create our own mini-fest.

We soak your garden until it turns into a cross between play-doh and gravy.  Stuartbert can wander round with a 6l keg of cider and his multiple hats, I'll sit in the corner boxed off my tits, Carlos can shit in your wheelie bin, we'll get CurlyGirl to bring the cherry bakewell, and if we set up Adele's album cover at the end of your garden it'll feel like we're miles away from the Pyramid stage.

Job jobbed!

Ah ToS!!! We all feel like that to some degree but you sound like you have it bad this year! Ok, have a virtual stroking of your hair and telling you you're pretty. My mate does this to me and it always makes me smile. 

I actually had to erase and rewrite a certain part of above as I was certain Mr G would Finbarr it!! ^_^

And good morning all. I don't think I will ever miss pooping in a wheelie bin, but I do miss the fact that I have to as the only place you have to is a festival. I haven't had the full come down yet as today is my first day back at work and I'm only in for 11 shifts then have 2 weeks off. Mid August it'll hit me... Until I have tickets.

It's my first day back really as well. I was off last week, trotting round Ireland and drinking a lot. I have no further holidays planned .....  I'm loving @Quark ' s ideas there though. There's usually a load of chicken sh!t in my brown wheelie bin anyway.... and my garden also has fresh eggs available for a food stall in the corner.....

I have no excuse, a terrible mix up. @mr gumbyis indeed the serial bin defiler.

What role would you like to nominate yourself for Carlos?

Hmm, I'd go for Clashfinder-ticker-offer-with-Tshirt-purchases. Not as organised as Dr. Ben, but with a dash of OCD. Cheers.

Talking of which, did @bennyhana22 ever post a picture of his revision band plan?

He did drop a summary of his movements over the weekend (not the kind of movements Gumby was on about) on another thread.  As expected it read like an ultra runner's weekend away.  I had to have a lie down after reading it.

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
