Hmmm can't help but feel like a bit of a mug really for getting caught up in this today.

Just because Neil hinted today that he knew the time it doesn't mean the time was going to be today...!

Why did I not take my own advice?

Don't worry - we all feel like mugs. Just like every year when this shit happens. Every. Single. Year.

08:00 it is. Goodnight all.

I really do hope it's a morning announcement. That would suit me fine. Anything evening wise will mean another sleep deprived night for me.

ha  ha very funny.  i  think I might be  a little younger as the first single I bought was The Specials, gangsters.  but my first memorable song was when I was about three. I think it was a west ham FA cup song called 'nice one Cyril, nice one son, nice one Cyril lets have another one' . My mum tried to cheer me up with this when it came n the radio when I was crying, funny the music you remember at such an ealry age. I am now 48.

I'm 42. Yay!

The sadist in me is hoping for an 8pm announcement tomorrow, just so we can experience the madness for another day. But another 12 hours or so and I think @Wellyboot may well explode. Kudos to you, your continuous excitement and optimism was very much needed on a day like today, and this thread has meant I've barely noticed what's been going on in the news!

Top work guys. See you in the morning for an early shift. Line up won't be out until @eFestivals has completed a hard day's work apparently, so we'll be waiting a while

Had an awful feeling it would drop during my important meetings today or during football tonight. It's taken me over an hour to read through these pages. Good work people. Entertaining stuff. Now we know it's not today then I'm still sticking to my original guess of 10am tomorrow. I'll just be happy to get it tomorrow and finally do my playlist!

Go to bed Kali man, must be about 4am where you are!

I swore to myself that I wouldn't get caught up in this nonsense this year, that I wouldn't waste hours at work on efests, that I would just get on with my life in March and April and just wait until it was annouced.

Yet here I am.

I feel ashamed.

[Amy Lawn]

Alas, all day is far too short a time to post among such excellent and admirable hobbits. I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. I have things to do in the morning. I regret to announce, this is bedtime. I'm going now, I bid you all a very fond good night.

This. Also tweeted it.

Delayed reaction but thank you! Makes sense now...

[marcoolio]

I'm worried it really *is* going to be 7/8 PM tomorrow. Unless I'm mistaken, Neil has said he pre-written a "Stand by your bed" tweet, that will be released while he'll already have been a work for hours. Unless Neil's work day starts at 5 AM, that will likely be somewhere in the afternoon.

But mostly I'm worried because I'll be at a business dinner then and won't have the opportunity to check my phone.

[tullux]

it is wat is it. when it comes it comes. we are glad to have the tickets.

we have no influence.

relax!

Today in a nutshell.... it started with an avalanche, we all went mental through the medium of the simpsons:

Stupid sexy flanders.

 

[K2SO]

So today has been bullshit.

[evannn]

I wonder if Neil just meant there was many hours of work between setting the tweet and it posting, i.e. It could still be a morning one. 

I don't know, I can't remember what exactly he said and it's not unlike him to use language like that

People really need to stop misquoting Neil. He hasn't given any indication of a time or even a day as of yet - obviously tomorrow now becomes the most likely day as it's obviously on the way soon, but he hasn't said anything specific. Equally these quotes regarding times and a scheduled tweet are getting twisted up amongst each other. 

The only quote I am taking from him now is:

I remember last years poster drop fondly as my sleeping pattern was fucked so I ended up staying up all night for the poster to drop in the morning, if i recall correctly someone had given us a tip off, and literally went to sleep almost straight after. Luckily my sleeping pattern is of a sounder state this time around so I can have some shut eye before (hopefully). 

[Yellow Chicken]

Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!

[Half Man Half Mattress]

Called it - possibly.

8am. 6pm Aus time. Neil's scheduled tweet to go out an hour or two before then - when he's busy working on other things (not in bed).

Unless the guy who runs The Avalanches Twitter account has got, gulp, the week wrong?

[MrZigster]

So. We're expecting it soon then?

[Gnomicide]

The Common's tweet has got me thinking. Will something happen that we've never seen before?

Recent years have just been the list of act names, no stages. 2013 had a few stages on but apart from the now defunct Spirit of 71, nothing like The Common.

The Common has been included as one of the recent "announce an area every few days" places.

It must be too early for the full line-up. Must be.

So what are we going to get? 

You decide [/TVvoice]
