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

      I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan.

      First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .

      The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
