Something special...

[SophieBee]

Amazing! Adding my thanks to @Sawdusty Surfer - I'm one of the @Tootts CV crew and this is going to be brilliant. And I thought I couldn't get any more excited about Glastonbury this year...

The WI have had a stall in the green fields for the last few years. If they are there again this year you could contact them and ask if they could bake you a bespoke cake as a surprise?

They also conduct hand fasting ceremonies in the green fields should you be into that sort of thing/wish to do something similar to renewing your vows.

WI aren't going to be there this year

It's a great table to sit at. I've embarrassed myself there at least once on the first couple of days after overindulging on the first couple of days of the festival.

Rest assured, you've embarrassed yourself a fraction of the embarrassment that I have achieved while sitting there.:)

Oh no! Why is that? Internal politics or something else?

Great to see that Sawdusty has made a very kind (and awesome) offer for the use of the CN table. Great table, great location.

I love the idea that such a fine table has seen such debauchery and over indulgence - I will gladly add to the rich history of it!

It's mine and my wife's 10 year on the Thursday this year too !

Am I the only one that's been drinking extraordinarily strong cocktails all night and developed Tourettes syndrome? Oh fuck me, I know this suggestion isn't going to go down well but really can't help myself - have you considered letting him go up the tradesman's as a 10th anniversary present? Oh, bollocks, bollocks, bollocks. Really c**ting sorry about my out of order suggestion. 

On a separate note - nice one Sawdusty. At least there's one decent bloke left standing out there.

Are you on the naughty step yet @Yoghurt on a Stick?

I've just come in from having walked outside after my post. Not quite the naughty step, but as near as dam it. I say that because while outside I thought further about my 10th anniversary suggestion and think that maybe, just maybe, it's not as funny as I thought it was. For that reason Toots, I apologize. I'll try to think of a more appropriate suggestion, to add to that of Sawdusty's very fine offer.

clarkete - thanks for enabling me to apologize. Appreciated. 

[clarkete]

Ha ha, anytime

In a rather desperate bid to redeem myself I have come across two things which may be of interest to you Toots. The first is that the 10th wedding anniversary is 'normally' celebrated with a gift of tin. The second is that, apparently, there was a place called Tin Village at Glastonbury in 2013. I have no idea what they did, or whether it's been at the festival since. However, here's a photo of it;

It may be that you can do something tin based there - if it is actually still there this year. Whatever you do though, think tin. Tin, tin, tin, tin tin. And not what I said previously.

I remember sitting at that table the 1st time we went in 2010 and being shouted at by one of the blokes cause I put my bag/drink on the table  I didn't know these things....

great offer though but I am assuming these days you are allowed to put things on the table?

Drinks are fine but a dozen rucksacks/day bags all over the table can spoil the ambience a bit

There are a few other rules as well....

@Sawdusty Surfer Me and my friends spent a good few hours hanging round the table last year, not sure if you were there or not....I know copious amounts of wine was drunk and I was offering round my Jura whisky as well. I also recall the weather at that point being fantastic which made it all the better - going to have to dig out some photos to share, was hoping to pop back up there this year again
**EDIT** - Looked at photos from last year - this might not have been the same table??, chairs look the same, but the table we were at was circular and not varnished/treated the same? Are there multiple tables there? 

Anyway, hope you have a blast @Tootts

Yes there were hammocks nearby

When I think about what makes Glastonbury so good, it always comes back to the people.

When I think about what makes Glastonbury people so good, I think of people like @Sawdusty Surfer

Looking forward to getting my first Swedish log candle this summer, and perhaps even my second.

I know, I know!  I'm a depraved animal at times. I can't really help it though - I'm from Birmingham and just about everybody I know personally here also falls in to this category. We were weaned on the diabolical and the disgraceful.
