Gilb Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) Prince Philip is dead. Heard from a few 'sources'. Holding back on releasing the news due to obvious current events. Possibly no public funeral. P.S. I hope he's not of course AND one of those sources told me he died a few months ago, from which he clearly made a miraculous recovery. Only posting this time due to hearing from 3 different people. Edited March 18, 2020 by Gilb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was clearly not happening, and having this weird event happening that was supposed to be exciting being undercut by the fact that is was total fantasy made it all a bit horrible. Now we're heading towards a new normal, heads down for a few months while we weather the storm. It's going to be brutal, but it's becoming a little less uncertain, at least in the short term.

Deaf Nobby Burton Posted March 18, 2020 Report Share Posted March 18, 2020 I had it on a few WhatsApp messages. There was one about the queen a few months back too. People say they have heard it from a few sources, basically everyone has forwarded on the same WhatsApp message. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will also be the last ones to close too. I always make a point of being polite. It does strike me that people can get a bit snippy with people providing things that make them better. Imagine getting an E of your dealer and pulling that shit. You'd get a clip around the ear at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pentura Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Gutted about the fest this year and bittersweet feelings about the tickets rolling over. I'm lucky in that I have one, but I know some who are so dedicated to the fest will probably have even less of a chance than normal, depending on the number of tickets returned. The Eavii made the right decision in the end. Peas and love to everyone who didn't secure tickets for 2020, I'm sure there'll be plenty of opportunities to get some for next year! 2021 is gonna be a blinder!

Time will tell - this is going to rip though the festival scene and I reckon that many well knowing festivals will go under. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooter Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Not sure about glasto-workers views but we are n the very early stages of this thing and nobody knows where it's going to take us. Hopefully this time next year it'll be long gone but I also have my doubts. Everyday life may become easier but with no vaccine on the horizon the risk factors may still be there regarding self distancing and crowds. edit, sorry!

Ozanne Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 Hopefully we can all get on top of it in the next few months, the summer heat might help and then in time a vaccine will come out. In honour of the 100%er crew I’m gonna try to be hopeful about it all 😆 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
