What have you done today to get ready for Glastonbury 2022?

Shame Gatorade isnt widely available. The watermelon and strawberry is miracle juice

[faymondo]

I tested some 5% cider from Home Bargains last night as the Aldi cider has had a drop in percentage. 

4 cans for £2.99 not bad at all.

Which ones are you repping? Need to get some for myself soon.

Absolutely, but I do enjoy the placebo effect of a cold fruity drink.

Old phone now has a brand new battery and is as good as new again. I can leave my new phone at home without having to worry about losing it or getting it swallowed by a mud puddle.

SiS Go Hydro. Six quid a tube in ASDA

Also got a wee bottle of this stuff from the G20 that never happened which I'll take. Added it to my pints at G19 and it seemed to keep the stag from pronging me too hard with its velvety antlers.

Was looking at that. Does it make your beer taste funny?

Oooh this looks interesting, the Amazon reviews suggest it's pretty flavourless, so you could just mix it with anything you happened to be drinking?

Couple of squirts in every pint from the cider bus 👍 

[Wanderlei]

Today I packed all the fresh milk I want to take. I've stashed it all in a duffle bag under my sofa (the one next to the radiator) and laid my sleeping bag on top of it to make sure I don't forget it on the day. Nailed it!

I've retired! Last day at work today.  Which gives me loads of time to prepare for Bearded Theory and Glastonbury and to waste hours of every day on here. So no change there then.

You lucky lucky lucky man. Hope it brings all the health and happiness you’ve earned!

Thanks I’ll try and get hold of some! That guardian article had a lot of good suggestions as well

Lovely. Perhaps you could douche as well using some of your milk stash? Then you'll be all ready for the festival.

[stuartbert two hats]

Unpacked and packed away my self-inflating mat. I had to watch YouTube videos to work out how to get enough air out of it.

It's all so inane, isn't it? There's only so much shit you can talk about. I just want to go, but it's aaaaages away.

We’ve got the 15, and are glad of it as my back is a wreck and I’m waiting for an hernia operation. Winfields special. 

[stuartbert two hats]

The 7.5 is plenty thick enough. So wide too - I don't have to pile up clothes to support my arms.

Sainsbury's sell them in store (I haven't looked online).
