Cheers G, would much rather you'd concentrated on getting twatted than replying to me!

I suspect I'm going to have a few questions that aren't covered by the FAQs on the BD website, so if you don't mind I'll DM you a couple later.  There'l be a cider in it for you when you're off shift! 

No worries at all, ask away!

Enjoyed a big ol' family bbq today, managed to get control of the tunes so introduced my family to War on Drugs, Baloji, First Aid Kit and Mono Club whilst drinking beer and munching food. 

Everyone's now in bed so I'm stretched out on the sofa with a dark and stormy listening to Jon Hopkins. All feels wrong that we won't be doing this in Somerset in a few weeks

 

Do you not like your family my big eared friend? Can't think why anyone would subject their loved ones to wrangler rock like WOD.

Congratulations Guy!!!

It was my first day in real clothes and outdoors meeting non festival people today. I hated it. I’m so tired after Bearded but oh my god what a fantastic weekend. One of my personal highlights was watching @mr gumby laughing so much he couldn’t breath to Mik Artistic!! Bloody brilliant! I don’t want to upset anyone or the ticket gods but I actually think I had as much fun at BT than at Glasto!!! Met some beautiful people that is camp Twat, who will be forever friends... just like you lovely lot ?

[guypjfreak]

Thanks old sons yea bloody busy lol.. I know I've got another girl on the way but don't know about the other.. Four grand kids in five years.. Like bloody buses lol

Saw Mik for the first time last year on that scorching Wed afternoon. Unvelievably for an act that's there every year (several times) he was one of my absolute highlights of the festival!

How was Common People @lucyginger?

I follow a blog on Instagram who went - I think they're called Lucy and ginger too (!?) - it looked good from the snippets I saw.

It was really good! The music Saturday wasn't too great, but we had a brilliant time anyway. However, I have never seen so many twatted people at one festival ever! It was ridiculous! Now I know I love to get twatted, but this was another level! Sunday was better, the music was brilliant and there were less young people on a mission to take as many pills as possible. 

One of my friends was security, he said they had to eject loads of people on Saturday just because of the state they were in!! 

It didn't get in the way of having a good time though, and we danced loads and saw some great bands. The highlights were Elvana - an Elvis fronted Nirvana covers band. They were fantastic! If you get the chance, go see them!! Other highlight was The Jacksons, they know how to put on a show. All in all, a great weekend  

Ooh I don't do Instagram, someone is clearly doing it for me! Haha!

Hello noplacelikehome,

My jeans did re-appear. Apparently they were wrapped up in some other material in the chalet at the back of the garden. Why I took them off, and how they got tangled within other material, I guess I'll never know.

Wishing you a great weekend too.

I've seen Mik and the lads a fair few times at Glasto, but the set on the woodland stage at BT was the funniest, no question. You know how some people hear a joke on Facebook or whatever, and reply with an over-exaggerated 'I'm literally dying!'? For once, that wouldn't be far off! I was doubled over with laughing, and seriously struggling to breathe. Tears streaming and everything!

 

[vintagelaureate]

Thanks @noplacelikehome, we are ploughing on! I will update properly soon.

I didn't know Elvana were in Liverpool, will have a look. I saw Rhythm of the 90s at the Croissant Neuf last year, and again in Manchester last month... they've just announced they're playing Liverpool in October too. Highly recommended!

Aye, saw them in Brighton last year. Proper fun, closed with Set You Free and blew the roof off

[lucyginger]

I haven't seen Rhythm of the 90's yet, really need to!

In other news, I have attempted some sewing this evening which proved far more tricky than anticipated so have switched to drinking gin instead. Cheers!

Hello my lovely!! I feel so sad that you're not festivalling this year! Why not? Can't you come to Bestival? And @lucyginger... Did you make a final final decision not to come? Or is there still a sliver of hope Elvana is also on at Kendal and I hadn't planned on seeing them but now I absolutely must!! Thanx ladies!!

Watching you watching him was even funnier than watching him!!! He was funnier in the woodlands. Maybe it was the setting. or the fact we could see his facial expressions so clearly! I don't know. But it was just brilliant.
