Ours haven't arrived yet. Traced them on seetickets and they haven't been despatched yet.

[SeanMacGabhann]

Just a little joke to see if I could pique Keef's interest in Glastonbury.

[SeanMacGabhann]

One doesn't pique Keef these days.. one pokes him ;-)

Is anyone else beginning to worry about the weather for Glastonbury?

[*Bob*]

Consult the oracle!

but *Bob*

this quote from the site:

"So I'm truly sorry to let down everyone who's emailed in over the last eighteen months, but no Glasto Weatherwatch this year."

[*Bob*]

Indeed.. but seeing as it's stuck on 'good time sunshine' I'm happy to go with it anyway.

Of course! But it's too early! But I'm still obsessing!

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!)

[TillieTrotter]

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:))

[damzel]

oh *bob* I feel a little silly now.. I was quite excited by the idea of my local being at glasto...

but as for the weather, try this:

and you can watch it go up here http://www.bbc.co.uk/glastonbury/webcam/webcam1.shtml

[Keef]

Damzel are you a CPT drinker then?????

[damzel]

urm, well yes but probably not as frequently as your good self ;-) Me and my bloke haven't been in the area long so you wouldn't recognise us as regulars (yet)

[Fear 'n boozin]

I fully expect to see you all on this:

[Keef]

Well Damzel, myself, Fear, BarryRoad and Bagpuss are all pretty frequent CPTites, so look out for us and say hi if you and Mr Damzel ( :-S ) are in there! :)-D

Oh, and come to next Wednesday's quiz!!!!!

[damzel]

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?

[Brendan]

Hey Miss Lou is cool. Her ramblings are quite entertaining and sometimes informative.

[SeanMacGabhann]

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

[Keef]

Miss Lou is indeed an absolute legend! Lovely lovely lady, you just have to tune in to the accent and you're off! There are photos of various forumites scattered around if you look for them ;-)

[damzel]

Well this picture of Mr Damzel at Glasto 2005 might help you recognise us if we come down to the quiz...

[Keef]

So it was you who left those footprints all over the place!

[Ladygooner]

The documentary film "Glastonbury" is being shown outdoors at "The Scoop" next door to Kens Place near Tower Bridge at 9.30pm on Friday 15th June - weather permitting. Free showing but get there early to get a seat.

Here is the website for The Scoop

[SeanMacGabhann]

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
