I faced my Glastonbury demons and paid for a ticket in 2004 and 2005. It was excellent. Although somewhat lacking in crusties, hippies and broken bones (thankfully!)

I went 2003/4/5 - first blistering hot, second a good mixture but the last was the best, absolutely pissing down with folk mud-sliding, water going into the top of my wellies, and looking like a pig in sh1t and actually being as happy as one!! I discovered that I loved mud and getting really dirty!! OH HAPPY DAYS:))

But how will we know you and how will you know us? it's all rather mysterious on here (and maybe I like it that way). for all you know I might be the old black lady who's always in there, talking randomonly at all and sundry (but mostly to herself). I saw your quiz thread and was mulling it over but being absolutely terrible at them, it's not that tempting to me. Mr Damzel (love it!) however would save the day if there were lots of music questions and sums (sounds fascinating doesn't he). But to drag us back on topic, if you guys are going to Glasto then I think perhaps we could come and say hello... is there a code word we should mention loudly as we're lurking around the place?

Ah Damzel the age old conundrum of the newbie - I remember it well meself....

As someone going to both Glastonbury (on topic!) & the quiz on Wed (probably) I would encourage you to come along and meet people. You won't be on your own on a quiz team and 99% of people go to quizes for the social aspect anyway

Nice spot there LadyG


I have seen the film and it's very unusual to not have any commentary but some great moments


For those going it's entirely possible you have already seen this but it's a good time to compare who is on and when

      Christmas Cheese!

      By David Peckham · Posted

      An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.

      Another vote for The Cheese Block on LL but for 20 adults, you'd better be willing to pay a fair chunk of money or hope that they'll be happy with very small amounts of cheese! Other than that, supermarket or search online for a large Christmas cheese hamper and take your pick. For example: https://www.finecheese.co.uk/collections/christmas-selections-hampers (only mentioning them as we had a gift hamper, much smaller than a big Christmas one, from them a while ago and it was very nice). I'm sure there are other excellent options.
