Glastonbury 2017

I had three independent connections set up.

I set my tablet up so that it could communicate via phone. Work PC was VPN’ed into North Carolina. We had Virgin Media but we’ve never even been able to get to the start page via that mechanism.

Glastonbury kind of is our holiday. We don’t go anywhere else.

And yet again #1 daughter will be there working so we are not welcome :smile:

That generally got sorted out our first year. Juvenile Unit #1 wanted to zoom off and stay with her mates. We let her, but she ended up arguing with them and coming back to family camp. Last year same thing happened without the arguments.

It’s a big enough place so you don’t see peeps unless you want to.

Missed out again :lou_sad:

Starting to feel a little deflated about all those that have missed out.

The success rate among my mates was so poor that I might actually meet Dubai_Phil at the cider bus :lou_sunglasses:

Haven’t heard from KRG yet.

Missed out too - so did teenage mutant #1 and her friends.

Apparently Glasto is only for olds so they’re planning something else, which will be much cooler…no idea what, but no doubt it’ll involve Dad taxi’s and cash (mine)

:lou_sad:

Ah for fuck’s sake.

I wanted at least a little bit of joy on this thread. Now I feel survivor’s guilt.

Not even joking. Gutted so many people missed out.

We have been 5 years running so it’s been a good run so far and we may be lucky in April. But this year we both talked about maybe not going and using the leave for something else. I am just about to lose 3 days leave moving jobs so I want to keep as much as possible to relax (and frankly Glastonbury isn’t relaxing). This year’s line up and mud combo dampened my love for the place a bit too much. So not as gutted as I would have been other years (well until my ideal lineup is announced next year).

I remember having the “can we all be arsed again” question at Glastonbury as we were leaving. Ended up going for it because Juvenile Unit #1 should be graduating this year, the fallow year takes place in 2018 so this was the last opportunity for a while for us all to go. Seems like good timing.

I am hoping that third time is going to be the charm when it comes to weather. I’ve fucking earned it (although not to the extent that intiniki and fella have).

So you’re picking the bands next year I n T ini K i ? Excellent news … seeing Radiohead live is top of my bucket list if it can be arranged.

… oh and I’ll be needing a ticket of course :lou_wink_2:

EDIT … just got it … next years a fallow year … silly me, don’t bother about RH then.

You enjoy it for us Pap - regular updates while you’re there please

I’ll just sit at home watching it on the Beeb in the comfort of my own home / arm chair,/ decent toilets / takeaway delivery - it’ll be tough but I’m sure I’ll pull through…

My Pilton based mate is in town, been sorting out the really important plans - how many cases of 6 X what breed of Pig do we wnat the hand cut Bacon to come from, ordering the 3.99 disposable camper chairs from Tesco on line so we don’t have to carry them home to his gaff at night.

BUT away from all that did my first look at the latest line up plans

I admit I may have underestimated just how many people world wide now want to see Ed Sheeran and I admit he IS the hottest conert ticket around at the moment and so yeah OK.

BUT tucked away on the Sunday afternoon, for those of us of a certain Age will be the best gig of the lot - Chic with Nile Rodgers.

He blew Glasto away 3 or so years ago now and we were lucky enough to see them one NYE - absolutely smashed it out the park - so many songs for so many artists in so many genres, tbh I am more pumped to see them again than anyone else. Just hope to God they don’t clash with Rag & Bone Man

Some other names on there…

Keifer Sutherland?

Seriously?

Just slot in an unplugged Richard Ashcroft Set and I’ll take anything else the elements can throw at us

But also an awful lot of lots still to fill, thing it could be a good one.

Only 33 days until I fly back for it as well!

Hmm maybe the rumours site is a crock of shit then

Oh no wait it was the Sun

Think that’s the one that was leaked ages ago and rubbished.

For example, DIIV’s frontman is currently in long-term rehab and probably not likely to be there. Diana Ross is also playing a gig in Miami that day.
