Oh noooooo!! Sorry to hear that!

It'd be ace if there were no poster at all, and the first you heard of the lineup was on the Thursday of Glastonbury when could collect your little guide.

why?

you are onsite on the Wednesday, there might be some info on who's on the smaller stages for the next couple of days. But the main stage lineup is only available from Thursday morning.  What excitement!

At least twice I've been travelling through the Mersey Tunnel as it's come out. I also missed most of the Radiohead painting excitement when I was in a workshop.

Thanks all but, no worries. It's been a long time coming. I've still not had my official letter and they have to give me 3 month's notice. I'm hoping it'll come on the 31st and I get at least 1 month's gardening leave.

Would be an interesting experiment, but I imagine keeping it from leaking would prove nigh on impossible.

Besides, half the fun is spending April-June checking out names from the poster you’re not familiar with.

Exactly.... my standard routine is checking here constantly for any rumour, willing March to come round for the poster, enjoying the weekly lineups of other smaller areas, researching the hundreds of acts that I have no clue about and then...... moaning that everyone I like clashes!  

Id hate to miss out on all of that

Ah shit, I'm sorry to hear it mate

[mufcok]

This is the quietest I can remember it at this point for some years. Think it's due to not getting a February headliner like the last few years

I know it's in no way practical.  I just think it would be an interesting twist.  I'm also a serial new-band-investigator.

Similarly undoable, I'd like one year for everything to be moved around. All the stages in different places, campsites, shops, all the traders.

There are far too many people (me included) who know too much of the site off by heart.  It'd be great having to unlearn and explore everything again.

Sorry to hear it chief. Happened to me last year. Can be a stressful time. Hopefully they'll give you some nice bunts for Glasto beers.

Cheers Mardy but honestly, I'm fine with it. I've somehow been in constant employment for 32 years which is a bloody miracle considering the job market these days. I'll be alright, decent pay off coming my way, got a few contacts I can try and nudge. As long as I get Glastonbury off, all is ok.

Here was me thinking that was a sexual innuendo about your thingy not getting much use in real life.

Keep your chin up matey, the same is currently happening to me, got served my three months notice a couple of weeks ago. Decided to move plans forward and move in with my partner, who lives 150 miles away just outside Manchester (I live in Essex). Currently looking for work.

My biggest worry... that I get the last week of June off ?
