I had a bit of a wobble a couple of weeks ago. Am currently going through a colitis flare and have been suffering for over 2 months now. It has been a pretty severe one and the idea of Glastonbury petrified me. I have cancelled a weekend in Glasgow due for later this month and decided to sell my Stone Roses at Wembley ticket.

Yet I have decided to go Glasto, even if it means staying sober and eating chicken butties all weekend. 

Sorry to hear that mate, Ive got it too, only got diagnosed about a year and a half ago. Has caused havoc on a few occasions, bailed on gigs, nights out, even a holiday

Managed to get a ticket for this year after missing out last year so I'll defo come find you this time and share your chicken butties!

Take it easy bud hope your flare up sorts itself out soon.

Ah, I'll be fine, just wait and see   I've gone to Glastonbury on crutches following surgery before, unable to walk more than 100 metres without having to stop to let the pain recede and still managed to last Wed-Mon on a diet of codeine and skittles vodka so this will be a walk in the park. 

And there's me thinking that I was a trooper going a month after major surgery when I'd been told not to move around too much during that period. I now realize (and have probably sub consciously known for a long time) that you are the Master, Spindles. 

As for myself this year, it's all a bit too fluid for my liking. Haven't got tickets, and my wife would rather do another festival or two. I know that divorce is an option, but I love her. Still trying to figure out how to get out of this conundrum.

Wait, boots don't go with your clothes but wellies do?

Colour me intrigued!

I may have deluded myself into thinking a pair of bog standard green wellies go with pretty much everything.

In theory.

Buy my feet don't seem to mind wearing even cheap pumps/Converse the whole time and I don't notice when I'm drunk anyway. And in a slightly more vain note, I don't generally like the look of boots and they wouldn't go with any of my clothes so that's a bit off putting too.

Me too, even though I know it's the sensible thing to wear I just can't.

I'm amazed the annual photos of quite attractive females in short skirts and wellies haven't started appearing in answer to the boots not going with clothes!

Oh no, that's sad news, you were building up quite an army of f5er's too, really hope your wife changes her mind

I thought the pervy pictures featured girls in wellies? I'll be honest, I don't pay that much attention to them.

Id take that over some of the welly losing mud in 04 and 05, or the splashy shit in 07. Couldn't walk anywhere without the person in front of you flicking mud up into your gob. Sort of like an involuntary two girls, one cup.

It didn't rain during gig times last year really which was a positive. 

2005's problems were gone by the Sunday and it was lovely and sunny most of the time.  Friday aside, 2005 was pretty good mud-wise.

My Mrs ticket will definitely be going to resale, bambino due in mid July......Mine will depend on the her health and mentality come April as to whether i get the green light or a solid "NO"!

To be fair, "wellies" is short for "wellington boots"

Hello Charm,

I haven't given up all hope of being able to ask all the 'army' of potential F5'ers (Thank you all. You know who you are) who offered to help us. In fact I've come up with a cunning plan. It's apparent to me that my wife isn't that keen on going to Glastonbury. This would only be her third time, whereas it would be somewhere over 20 times attendance for me. I might have to play my trump card and say 'OK, let's make this the last Glastonbury we go to. Then we can go to other festivals in the future. You get to see your favourite band (Radiohead) there and I get to have one fandango in the place which has given me so much pleasure'. 

Yes, I think I've hit the nail on the head there with that proposed approach. I'll back it up with the fact that she'll get to see one of her  brothers there (he already has a ticket) who she doesn't see as much as she'd like to because he lives elsewhere in the country and has three, yes three, jobs, which more than keeps him busy. 

Wish me luck because I'm going to put it to her later today. I'll let you know how I get on.

You weren't around at the Other Stage at all then!

I don't think I was apart from Friday, which was pretty... damp.

Still not as bad as 98

Sounds like a good plan, fingers crossed.

Approaching the time where I decide whether i'm gonna volunteer again

i must admit, I don't have as much of a drive to do it as I have in the past.

but my thinking is, it's gone after this for two years, now or not for a long time!

I was rather hoping Gonzo had hit the nail on the head.

But at Glasto anything goes with anything.

Last year was bad, so bad that I couldn't be bothered going to the Cider Bus (from the Glade) midnight-ish Sunday, and I do like my hot cider. Roll on this year and here's to a cracking sunburn
