Was Johnny Depps appearance for the opening in 2017 a one off celeb appearance. Obviously he is a little busy at the moment so I know he won’t be there. Liam Gallagher introduced his docco. I imagine there was others too (I know there is Q&A's with directors, if that counts as "celeb"). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I ever heard that was during the 10 hour coach journey in 2016 and some lad was asking the driver how long was left every 15 minutes. "Excuse me, drive...."

Aw you'll have to treasure every moment of it! TBH one thing the pandemic has taught me is that we should all treasure the good times as we never know when they'll be the last.

I think after the enforced break from festivals I will defiantly be taking it easier this year. I can't hack the pace like I used to, and end up with horrendous hangovers that render me useless for most of the following day if I stay out till 4-5am. I'll probably go heavy for one or two nights at a push but I'd prefer an early finish one night so I can function the following day, rather than going hard and then dying in my tent till the following afternoon!

Yes sometimes you don't need to stop doing something just change the way you do it. Mr Gigpusher has a long standing knee problem that he had been referred to a specialist for but COVID hit and they never contacted him and then he got a letter telling him they'd tried to contact him (they hadn't) but that he had now been removed and if he needed to be seen again he'd have to go back to his GP and be referred again. Obviously that isn't going to happen pre-Glastonbury so we think we'll have to take it easier than normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
