    I'm going. Should be there from the Wednesday to the Monday. Not sure where I'll be pitching my tent though. Would be nice to meet up with some of you for drinks and general merriment.

    Ok, so its two weeks to go and time for a rollcall. Who's gonna be there and what days? I will be there from wednesday 10am when the gates open til monday late.

    Last one to sign in gets to buy the first round of cider!

    I'll be there!

    Only managed to secure tickets for Sunday. (Although I've entered several competitions for a weekend pass)....(still waiting to hear ...but you never know!..........sad/desparate bastard)!

    Can't say I'll be around the pyramid stage whenn the Ride of the Valkyries...or whatever is being performed...but I'll surely be present when Muse are headlining and Morrisey is tempting!

    Hoping to meet Reboot and Satans little helper...and anyone else that can fit in a little time in the huge schedule of events that will surely need tending to!

    Keep in touch via the board and perhaps we can exchange mobile no's and meet up for a while?????

    I'm definitely going to be there from some time on Wednesday and may - may - even have a spare ticket up for grabs. I still don't know how strict they're going to be on ID, but it's in a girl's name anyway. If any female living reasonably close to Glastonbury wants to risk it, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

    OK, if anyone wants to meet up at Glasto for a drink or a smoke or a chat, PM me and I'll give you my mobile no.

    From the following page http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/feature/+newticketcheckin/

    ? Original Bank Statement
    ? Bank Debit Card
    ? Original Photo Driving Licence

    One of the above will be required by security.

    I have to post so I guess the ciders are on me lol .........

    anyway. If any female living reasonably close to Glastonbury wants to risk it, let me know and I'll see what I can do.

    Funkyderek; a friend of mine's talking a friends' bank statement as proof and doing it that way...that's pretty tempting...my daughter managed to get a weekend ticket ...I only got the Sunday tickets.but at least that means i'll not have to sit through Paul McCartney lol

    .i'll be there 10 am til around midnight have to get the Sunday glastonbury bus there and back...; am meeting friends in the family field at some stage but thats all i have planned.....i'll pm you all my phone no. and if you want to do the same that'd be fun....we could meet up at the meeting tree.? or cider bus..or satans tent ?

    im easy..look forward to it.Especially as Supergrass are now coming too.

    Will we see the Bay City Rollers?
    just seen that Eman; you never know there's usually a token joke that goes down quite well...

    Well, ive just about recovered now...me and my clothes are hosed down and clean(ish) I had a great time..met up with Bay64me (did you get to see Black rebel mc club?)after some descriptive text messaging......it was good to meet you all and have a pint.

    and I DID 'go' in the 'she pees' eventually ....

    SLH was around and we had a go at getting together but similar excellent reasons were keeping us apart.......

    Main bands I hung around the main stage for were Joss Stone, James Brown. Gomez, Morrissey,The English National Opera,Supergrass and Bonnie Rait,Muse found my friend eventually and we didnt stop jumping about from Supergrass to Muse.Watched cabarets,when it rained...the best was a guy standing on a bike, on top of a pole. held up with guy ropes tensioned by people from the audience, while he juggledwith fire, an apple and 2 fired up chainsaws...

    there was a casino tent that had a strict dress code, you had to hire suits and dresses to go in, the dance tent was great; went to the field of flags awesome sight,to dance with a few thousand others.. (can you see a pattern here? lol) tipi field, healing field,ballroom.cinema,green field,cabaret, circus,workshops ,shopping, a singles holiday camp of love...over 300 bands..acoustic stage jazz stage, theatre tent,fire stage, scared spaces, healing fields, poetry. kids areas,so many people to see and stuff to look at,i was dashing around like crazy trying to pack it all in..

    The mud was deep but just made for more entertainment resulting in some lovely 'mud angels' and a few mud fights...im not to keen on Muse, but they were incredible..the pyramid stage was lit up in electric blue and the graphics behind them were amazing as were they i had to grudgingly admit...then fireworks..

    My friend met a guy and is now in love ..ah...and I didnt have that much luck but had a couple of Glastonbury moments..there was the complete stranger who asked me to look after his bag while he went for a pint as '' there are a lot of strangers about'' ??? and the huge, perfect, double rainbow that appeared while me and my friend were dancing in the rain with 150,000 others...ah.....roll on next year...
