@crazyfool1 posted a few minutes ago ways on how to ditch this thread. The surreal image of a giant plywood  daisy being molested might just be the thing that does this! 😁. 

Happy to be of service. 😂

I am 99.876% sure I’ll be dry humping one of the flowers on the approach to the park in 13 months time.

 

Does this help with your flight bookings?

Dry humping or rosebudding?

I just had to Google the latter 😮

My advice to anyone else in the dark is....don't.

Please leave my Glastonbury 2021 dreams alone!

I'll be 29 next year, I can't bear the thought that I may have already had my last Glasto in my 20's!!!

I’m exactly the same... except ten years older.

Wonder who the oldest member is  ?

I’m still contemplating the search. It sounds a pretty inoffensive name .  Conjures up images of a quaint sweet smelling English country garden.

This is certainly quaint, you wouldn’t want to smell it though.

That's exactly what it looks like...

I was one of those on the early-ish side of doommongering for this year's festival being cancelled, but I'm pretty bullish for next year.

Look, there are loads vaccines in the works, lots of them look promising and several of them are expected to be ready this year. And once one of them is proven to be good, there will be so much weight thrown behind getting it manufactured at real, real scale. We don't even all need to be vaccinated for the festival to go ahead, just around 80% immunity, either by the virus or by vaccine.

I know the governments of the world can't base their plans around a Deus ex Machina turning up and fixing everything, because it might not happen. But it really looks like it will. It does.

The human genome project was initially a very long multi-year affair, until Celera Genomics came along and did it for a tenth of the cost faster than the rest of the world, sequencing the human genome in just three years. Nobody could believe it could be done so fast and so cheaply, for $300m  and now we can sequence a genome for $3,000 to $5000 in just one to two days.

The political will and financing to develop vaccines fast hasn't been there for years, but the technology has moved on so much since there was last an urgent need in the wealthy countries. The human race is capable of extraordinary things when its back is against the wall.

What I'm saying is, I've been drinking and I'm going to Glastonbury next year, and so are all you lovely people on here.

I'm becoming more optimistic than I was, if only because of our unspoken national agreement that we've all had enough of lockdown, so we'll just get on with things.

Are they planning on celebrating the 50th next year? Or will it just be a “normal” glasto.

My initial thought is that it will be an extra special 51st type thing and everything they prepared will be carried over and changed slightly as a delayed birthday party? I probably sound barking mad.

Apologies......what is this 'normal Glasto' of which you speak? 

I'd guess there will be some reference but not what was planned had it been this year.  It's an opportunity to spin it as a great new coming together though, a re-birth even, a celebration but with due respect....and if there's ever been a year to highlight and celebrate the work of our NHS then 2021 is it.

I'm hoping this! And then hoping NHS workers will get access to the booking page 5 mins to 9!! 

Please!! I need tickets!

The history makes it it easy enough to fudge it anyway.

This year would have been the 50th anniversary of the first event held at Worthy Farm.

Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the first even actually called "Glastonbury".

I’ve been drinking all afternoon as well, lying in the sun in the company of Taylor swift, Sam fender, Frank Turner and Skinny Lister. Dreaming of next summer

great post, I think I love you.
