Lithoniel Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Did my last shop for the festival and half packed my rucksack, just clothes to chuck in next week. Recovered my e-festivals account! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Have been visiting my daughter in London - primarily to take down some of her stuff for Glastonbury including her rucksack, new funky waterproof, sleeping bag and the wrong wellies! Never mind, I'll take her correct wellies with me instead. Discussed what bands we both want to see and which ones we'll see separately. Took delivery of new batteries for my phone, new (old) DMs from Ebay and earplugs for both of us. Caught up on here a bit. Thought about checking the weather but realised that that really doesn't matter (again)- especialy having read the other thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Low Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I'm getting very concerned at how prepared everyone seems here. I've still not bought a single food item or beer can and starting to panic. On the other hand I finally bought a pair of walking boots. Took them for a test over the weekend at a very muddy outdoor gig. Feet dry and very comfortable, which left me wondering why I'd never took the leap before. Wellies in comparison are horrific. They're currently drying under my stairs though and stink of shit even though I cleaned off all the mud when I got home. Any tips of getting the smell out of leather hiking boots?

ourkid1984 Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Bought pot noodles and cuppa soups as well as hand sanitizer with my normal weekly shop and carried it home with a heavy backpack on my back. My festival fitness is coming on nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Oh and my daughter's friend has offered to take our booze in her car in return for a loan of a tent so have placed a beer order with her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Checked into my flight! Heading off Wednesday night for a few days in London, and the pre-Glaso stay with the 'rents. It's happening!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gratefulbread Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 The hype is out of control. Took me about three hours to get to sleep after going to bed last night for mentally planning driving routes and working out what else I need to sort out before next week. Considering I start work at 5, I consider this sleep deprivation as prep in itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMorgz92 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Found waterproofing spray, extra ponchos and another portable charger which is now currently charging up. Put my ready-made cocktail mixes into the freezer ready to act as ice blocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quark Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Working from home today so I'm going to be 100% productive Used this morning to finalise my packing list. Been down in the garage and pulled my bergen off the shelf, and started piling up all the camping gear. Dug out the useful little bots and pieces like my day wallet (on a chain, proper one stays in the lockup), found my cigarette butt wallet I picked up at BDs. The last (I reckon) of the refreshers have gone into the vodka, will start on the werthers one at lunchtime. Also confirmed that the trekking waistbelt is the right size to hold the steel water flasks, so reckon I'll be using that in the evenings and carrying the flavoured vodkas on each hip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In which case this should give you carte blanche to bring that motorcycle engine refurb' indoors, and get cracking with both on the nice rug in the lounge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Clearest Blue Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 After an incredible and boozy weekend seeing Elton in Cardiff on Saturday and Fleetwood Mac at Wembley on Sunday, I'd say I'm ready to keep the party going and get on that farm and continue dancing!

DesperateDad Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Swamper tyres bought for the campervan - if the CV fields get "sticky" this year I'll feel a little bit more prepared. Third application of G-Wax added to walking boots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sogryp Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Did a bit of shopping yesterday, got myself some travel tissues (I don't do wet wipes and they take up less space than toilet roll) and hydration salts (essential pre bed hangover cure). My cider order arrived last night so had some fun unpacking that and stashing it out the way so I don't get tempted to crack in to it early. And my lovely brother who's working near the festival for the week of has Kindly offered to take the majority of my drinks and camping equipment down in his van so I can have a lighter load on the coach, so working out the logistics of that. I will now spend the rest of my work day on the forums getting nothing done. Same as last week then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OOOooo good question, from a selfish view I'd want Fleetwood Mac, I knew every song compared to around three or four from the Elton set I wasn't aware of and their one of my favourite bands. On a wider scale I would say the general public probably know more Elton songs than FM so maybe he would go down better, especially if Glasto were to get him as his final UK headliner performance or some such. I think it would be a close call, the media would more likely make a bigger deal of FM doing it than Elton, but I honestly couldn't call which would be a better crowd pleaser for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
