I'e been going since 2007 and never heard reference to it before! What Beerqueen said. Basically lower tier acts from the Caberet Tent putting in an extra shift to a smaller audience. Small stage and a caravan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerqueen Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 I'm old but don't intend to hang my wellies ups yet. I have never been able to stay up all night at Glasto - 1 or 2 am is about as late as it gets. And that suits me as I'm not a fan of the SE corner or dance music so I can enjoy myself all day and still get a reasonable night's sleep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm always up nice and early for a leisurely walk around site and breakfast before the acts come on. Us taking it easier will just mean trying to pick a stage where we like 2 or 3 acts in a row so that he can sit down and rest between acts rather than racing around site too much.

Beerqueen Posted May 5, 2022 Report Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) (meant to quote @gigpusher) Oh I don't get up early! And I sympathise with the bad knee - I had one that was torture for 3-4 months, got referred to the orthopaedic hospital but by the time that came through, it had more or less got better on its own. But the surgeon told me to contact him direct if it flared up again which I did about 9 months later, but again it righted itself. Fingers crossed it doesn't come back. And hope that it's a dry year so we can sit down easily when need be (though that is a whole other story of trying to sit comfortably on the ground! Might have to take a chair this time if I can manage it on the coach. Edited May 5, 2022 by Beerqueen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It locks up and really hurts. Of course he should go back to the doctor and get referred again but he doesn't!! He's very much hoping for dry weather as being able to just sit down anywhere he wants for stints will be a massive help to him. Secretly hoping that it hurts him just enough that he will finally go to the doctors when he gets back to get it sorted instead of just moaning about it!!

Yep looking to take it easy and maybe out on a couple of nights, I fancy a goid dance. Mind you even on the Monday (I work) we go out for a quiet drink and end up back at the tent at 2am, it is Glastonbury time after all. However, gone are the days of a double drop and a tab at 2pm. From back in the late 80's early 90's I would always swear by an early night on a Thursday, but too much going on nowadays. We are lucky that we can get back to camp and often have a fire to relax and then everyone starts rolling back for a chat which is great before bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proper Job/Gurt Lush/Arite me Babber can get in the bin thou. There are books and websites with far more than that. I can't remember if the book incudes the trait of adding an L on the end of some words, such as bra and asda. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dictionary-Bristle-Harry-Stoke/dp/190647785X (I think the book was the most accurate source, but sadly they killed off their companion site).
