Badlands Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 (edited) Aye, as gutted as I will be, it’s probably someone else’s turn to have a go. Cannot be too disheartened- been a great run. Not wasting the winter in limbo so it’ll be an adventure abroad if not. Just seen that it’s rainy season in Japan at June. And Mexico. That’s a bummer!!

Take your wellies and headphones. Dance your ass off in field. Get strange looks from the locals. Sound familiar? You'll be fine on Sunday as will I. ?

MetaKate Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Im feeling really sour today. My one friend that I usually travel from Canada with told me two hours before the sale that she cant go. Then I had a staff meeting that ran 20 minutes over, leaving me with only 10 minutes to prep for sale time. My other friends from London that I usually go with have added me to the bottom of a Google doc, where they're in a team of 6, and I'm in a team of 5 with 4 people I dont know. Seconds before the sale starts two of those people say they dont want tickets actually. None of us got tickets, but I feel that on Sunday I'm going to end up getting dicked over because I'm the odd one out. This also means if I do get tickets I'll be travelling to site alone on the Wednesday, and camping alone as none of them will be travelling until Thursday, and I'm not willing to sacrifice a good camping spot, but theres also no way for me to take in everyone's tents alone. Today is definitely not my day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayrshire Chris Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Sunday morning looks as if will be more fraught than ever.

zero000 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I'm running Cardiff 1/2 Marathon at 10am on Sunday. The prospect of running 13 miles in the rain with the rage and anger if I haven't got a ticket, doesn't bear thinking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to the gym after my failure tonight which did actually make me feel a bit better about it all (still pretty gutted though obviously). Good luck Sunday for the sale and the run!

Hutchmaster Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Various degrees of anger. The explicits got louder and more, well, explicit, as the sale went on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jensescapade Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Roller coaster at the moment. Acceptance and all hopes pinned on round 2 on Sunday.

Sasperella Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 C'mon guys!!! Who ever secured tickets in the coach sale? (Not me, in five attempts). Its just a trial run at best! @clarkete - you're stages don't work because I have been legitimately bargaining with the ticket gods for about six weeks already in spin classes and in other general areas of life. This can only be a good thing! @MetaKate - you'll get a ticket. And you'll have an ace time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
