My bargain sleeping bag turned up this morning, turns out the cheap price was due to it being for kids and I can’t read.

This might be a stupid question but are spirits sold in plastic anywhere in the UK? I've only seen glass, so I'm expecting to have to pour into a plastic bottle, but if there's a way to buy them in plastic to begin with I will do that.

I’ve never seen them in plastic and I work for a fairly big supermarket… they might be out there somewhere… but I think the plastic might taint the flavour over a longer period of time

Never seen it either, very rare with beers/ciders/alcopops too - you only really see it in nightclubs.

I'm pretty sure I've seen at least tequila in plastic bottles before but as @crazyfool1 has said, its less common as I would assume it would need to be a specific type of plastic.

We've bought a few cheap metal thermal bottles in Primark (€4.50 so maybe £3/4 in the UK). They're perfect for spirits and as they empty you can use them to carry ice if you're lucky enough to find some!

No. You’ll need to decant them into another vessel i’m afraid

Morrisons. All plastic screwtop bottles. I've got a few.

Did the shop yesterday - bugger me when did everything get so expensive!

Filled the Bus with fuel - nearly fainted, see above comment!  Seriously we used to get a full tank, from empty for £80 & could drive from Midlands all way to Amsterdam on that 1 tank, yesterday already had 1/3 tank and it cost £120 🥴

Found partners festival hat, needed rain or shine, this bugger had eluded my searching for 2 days.

Found Moth Espresso Martinis in Tesco for £3.90 @ 4 for 3 if anyone still looking for booze deals.

Decanting starts this afternoon, as does last clean & empty glass out of Bus & starting actually putting shit in the Bus😁

Last day at work tom, I intend to do a little as possible and bore the lot of them with my Glasto tales & excitement 🤪

I've just loaded the car with all the camping gear and am about to start into an ironathon for the 5 of us. Don't want to have anything left to do tomorrow night after work other than going to bed. 2 hour drive to the ferry from Dublin at 8.15am on Tuesday morning so need to leave about 5am.

It's important to maintain standards, so hats off for ensuring your Glastonbury clothes are well pressed 😉

Fixed a faulty row of LEDs on my jacket, made a decision on some final improvements I'll hopefully get finished today/tomorrow.  Did the booze run to asda.  Last night at work tonight and then bit of shopping Tuesday and I'm all ready to go.

nothing complicated, thin ply and a hole saw, but I'm hoping they will work

Nice work on these. Have you sealed the wood or just left it raw? A coat of lacquer or varnish will help protect the wood from the inevitable beer spillage around the top. 
 

Probably worth taping the holes as well. The rough wood could pierce a paper cup if they start to wear.

Can't wait to see the finished result!

I'm currently on route to Asda for our shop. Fortunately found my funnel for spirit to plastic bottle filling too.

      I'm bemused why Jaissle hasn't been confirmed yet. If he and his coaches are already there, surely the paperwork to send this through must be somewhat sorted and confirmation imminent, no?   Feel like clubs are soft on tapping up now as an industry, right? I swear most deals seem to be a case that personal terms are agreed beforehand. In an older life, this Bruno deal has a potential case imo given the use of intermediaries to plant a seed in Bruno's mind this was a good idea (much I'm prepared to accept last season's mess would likely have had Bruno doubting if he wanted to stay regardless) but the industry seems more forgiving of this stuff at present. Wind seems to be picking up that a deal is about to happen regardless. Shame as I'd have been more willing to accept a move to Real Madrid but it is what it is.   Would be nice if we could show some more balls with this stuff tbf. Feel like the owners are taking a strange lesson from Isak last year in that now, we just have to let everyone go at the first sign of trouble, even though other clubs in a similar boat to us are seemingly more willing to turn back and tell pursuers to f**k off.

      I wouldn't. U2 would almost certainly be doing stadiums and Muse have been saying they have stadium shows booked. They're the likelier of the two to be doing BST Hyde Park, but my expectations would be to expect them turning up at a stadium.

      Exactly. One rumour doing the rounds was that they were playing 2 stadium shows in Greece next summer and that I would assume it'll be part of the same tour to do a London stadium gig.

      Fontaines would be excellent, if not for the fact R+L have them this year. Spurs feels bold - though achievable, of course.

      Start your engines.    Going to hazard a guess at St. Vincent, Faith No More and LCD Soundsystem as the more boutique "coup" options.    Expect Rick Astley one among the Radio 2-friendly bankers.    Let the guesswork commence!
