You know that I said that me and my wife weren't going to go to Glastonbury next year - well that's no longer the case. Once my wife heard that Radiohead are playing she now wants to go to see them at all costs. She first heard the band when she was locked up in a psychiatric unit after having made a serious attempt at taking her own life. While in there here brother visited and gave her a cd of the band. She listened to it over and over and over again, and it got her out of the dark place where she was in.

I'd love for her to see the band live at Glastonbury, so any offers of help come the resales would be beyond fantastic. I, for one, would be eternally grateful as I'd love to make this experience come true for her.

Forgive me if you see this posted elsewhere, but I've just got to make this happen.

As long as you both come to the meet!

Try stopping us from going to the meet (tickets permitting). Greatly appreciated stuartbert. In fact, I'm not really going to be able to portray my gratitude for help on this sufficiently enough - I just can't think of the right words.

Lined up to help on t day 

[Funkyfairy!]

Hello all

i am back in the land of the forums, sitting At Gatwick airport catching up. The forums are blocked in Bali and boy did I miss this place on ticket weekend :-(

Just had the perfect 7 hour flight with Emirates , spent 5 hours watching the below 5 episodes on the entertainment system, I'd had little time post 2016 festival to watch anything and my goodness it was great and indulgent to catch up in one go.... Bloody hell it looked blinding on TV. Couldn't watch it on the way out as didn't want to jinx the ticket gods, and can't deny I shed a tear or two on the way home watching it ....

Nice one mr gumby. Your offer of help on this, like the other offers that I've had, is very humbling.

Oh hell yes Yog! All over it my man

Welcome back FF, glad you had a good holiday.

Had a couple of pairs of uni friends and their kids (both under 1 so manageable!) round for a grown up roast and vino this afternoon, just finishing clearing up to the sounds of Gentleman's Dub Club before settling down with a glass of something pleasant. Hope everyone else has had a good weekend

Fab. Just fab. Thanks for this offer of help Quark.

I'm starting to get a bit emotional about all the offers that I'm receiving. Thanks guys and girls for offering to help make a dream come true for me, but more importantly, for my wife.

Happy Monday morning everyone!  

It's thoroughly Shitterton down our way, and gumby jr is off to the seaside with his aunts and cousins today. Fully expecting a drowned rat to be delivered back to us this evening! 

[lucyginger]

Morning!! Shitterton here and all Gumby, hope Gumby jr survives the seaside! I don't mind a blustery walk by the sea in this weather, it can be quite refreshing, but I am not a small child!! 

Yog- I am very pleased to see that you and your wife will be trying for tickets, I am helping a couple of friends on resale day but can put you on my list of people to help too We will get you there!
