Quark Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 And finally, woohoo! Beautiful Days tix booked Taking my brother, he's never done a camping fest before and the only one he's done at all is Download with a hotel room. It's my first BD but obviously got more of an idea of what it's going to be like from Glasto. He's really gotten into the outdoors and looking after mental wellbeing over the last couple of years, so properly looking forward to setting him loose 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John the Moth Posted May 15, 2018 Report Share Posted May 15, 2018 Wish I could go to Besutiful Days! No festivals for me this year, had a one-dayer in March which was good but way too commercialised. They simply don’t do good festivals here in NZ. The live music scene is probably the thing I miss most about UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatyeti24 Posted May 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 i don't much concern myself with the royal family, but it feels nice to turn on the tv and see people enjoying themselves instead of the usual awfulness of the news. i get the cynical argument that it's just a distraction, but what's wrong with that? the other news stories today would be: another school shooting in the states a plane crash in cuba probably something kicking off in the middle east donald trump has most likely said something brexit, as usual most of that stuff (brexit aside but that's been in the news daily for over two fucking years now), as tragic as it may be to those involved, concerns my life just as little, maybe less, than the royal wedding. i therefore suggest that the news be made up more of people having a nice time. i think that'd be good. (and please, United, win the FA Cup too. thanks) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 Not a way I'd looked at it previously Yeti. While I'm firmly in the camp of hoping they're happy but have no interest whatsoever (basically any wedding of people I don't know) I suppose it is nice for there to be something other than dreadfulness on the news. I like your thinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 My wife's sister married a hugely successful impresario. They are both down the bottom of my garden, with my wife, around a camp fire. They are more than a little tiddly. However, they don't know (or would approve) that me and the misses have had a military grade e and a shed load of speed. It will be an interesting night, I'm sure. Laters!

I'm sat doing excessive marking late into the night, and contemplating many things! It certainly was living the dream, if only briefly. The guests brought us gifts of Lanson champagne, and two bottles of red from his cellar, which I naughtily looked up on line and cost £60 each! We drank the champagne but still, somehow, have the bottles of red. It was the end of a long run of visitors which started about 10 days ago and only finished when the latest visitors left yesterday afternoon. As a result we were pretty wiped out yesterday evening / night. I hope that you and your family are well too vintage, and that you also have a great week ahead.

Is it similar to Glasto with stuff going on into the night on a reduced scale, or is lights out and back to the tents after 11pm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
