I'm behalf of all my friends who are relying on the resale, best bet is to play it safe and not go this year.

I'm paying that balance no matter what, no luck my friend. There is nothing that would get in my way of going if this year actually takes place.

If it was cancelled God forbid, this is my last one so it's this year or no more..  I'm feeling more optimistic due to how far it is away but if it isn' to be then never mind, more people will gain next year , well my ticket will be one back in the pot

Was the festival on during the Foot and Mouth crisis? Or was it a fallow year?

Dunno why you're stressing about it. You have no control over the decision if the worst happens. So just wait and see. As I said bigger issues if that happens.

That's like saying to anyone about anything, what's the point in worrying. Easier said than done when it's an issue at the moment.

It's going ahead unless the gov't bans big gatherings past the end of June. I'd imagine that any insurance would only kick in after that announcement so the show must go on.

I'm just stressing because if I don't go to Glastonbury this year, I will never be able to. It's so unlikely to get tickets especially as someone not from the UK.

This isn't true. You have just as much of a chance as anyone of getting tickets.

Now...the planning/money spent on making the trip is another story.

I think it’s actually MERS unless you were referring to Olly as a nasty disease......?

Isn’t MURS when your heart skips skips skips skips a beat?

Look positive and enjoy the fact you have tickets

There might a vaccine by then, but you might grow an extra toe as it might not be fully tested, could come in handy walking pissed back to the tent

It was intended in a light hearted manner.

expandable latex trousers, ideal for those who are worried about catching anything from a Long drop or wanting to spend all day at the front of the pyramid without losing your place. Empty once a day .

Yikes, I’d never heard of it until this thread. Has it always been under mentioned or have I just missed all references to it?

Currently reading "The Great Influenza" which is a fantastic book on the whole thing.

Parts are like an actual horror movie, cities just running out of coffins because of the numbers of dead, mass graves, blood coming out of eyes etc.

Cheery stuff! (But an incredibly fascinating book)

Tell me I’m a twat all you want. I couldn’t care less. But what I don’t like is my JOKE being removed and myself being silenced because some people are “offended” by it. It was risqué, and bad taste. But it was not hateful. 

At no point did I call you a twat.

why do you think your right to free speech trumps other people’s  right not to be offended? Why is your ‘right’ more worthy than theirs?

if you actually read what I said I’m defending your right to tell your joke, which I didn’t see by the way, but what you can’t do it’s tell people how they can react to it. You tell a risqué joke, as you describe it, now you have to accept the consequences.

First cases of human to human transmission within the UK reported this evening, in Surrey, brings UK total cases up to 20 (active 12).

As we now have human to human transmission from an unknown source, there is definitely a possibility of an outbreak within the UK within the next few days. I am praying not as the whole situation has put me under a lot of stress already god knows what it would be like going into lockdown within our own towns and cities.

[Cooter]

Heh Chicken Bob, stop reacting and don't worry, you are not the devil in human form. Yes it was a bad taste joke but in your defence you were only adding to the very unfunny disease ridden Glasto poster that someone else posted.

Chill!
