  • Pilton...I mean Glasto' Festival

Can imagine that you also get a steady stream of ‘alternatives’ in the area throughout the year, to go with the once a year piss and turds.

(The festival is mega - wish I was going this year).

RichM Eavis has had to do a lot of grovelling to his neighbours over the years for sure. That’s why he created the Pilton party after festival to say “sorry” and “thanks” to the local community. Needless to say they eventually cashed in on that as well and it became Glasto 2.0

      I tested positive for the rona last night and it’s very similar to the delta version I had last November except I can smell and taste stuff. Got fever and raging sore throat. Glastonbury could be curtains.

        Along_the_Wire an shit that’s a bummer. Hope you manage to get there

        The missus tested positive last Monday, was feeling rough for a couple of days and has been fine since Thursday last week, but still testing positive

          Gutted not to be there this year. Not been since 2017, and got massive FOMO..:

          Along_the_Wire Oh mate, that’s fucking shite. Hope ya feel better soon.

            ScottBailey Yeah, I’m gonna go out on a limb and say the middle class Waitrose festival that Glasto has become is more beneficial for it’s neighbours than festivals like Leeds / Reading, where the active annual sport is setting your mates tent on fire.

              Smallman1 I shan’t be missing Herbie Hancock, Diana Ross (hello sailor) Leon Bridges, Bonobo, Overmono, The Chems and Bicep though

              Or the long drops!

                Along_the_Wire Sheeeeet - that is pants.
                I had the Vid last week. Felt ropey on the Sunday night (but that down to boozy weekend). Had exactly the same symptoms develop the next day - the raging sore throat being the worst as was a nightmare to sleep. Felt shite for about ⅔ days but was back in the game by the Friday and produced a neg test at the end of that day. Lot quicker recovery than when I had it November which took about 2 weeks.

                Hope its the same and you’re able to get down there
                Like Vin have been developing a bit of FOMO through the week

                    I ain’t going to Glastonbury for no working class politics lectures.

                    I’m there to kitchen sink it!

                    Glasto is an event ive always shuddered at, given the sheer investment of emotion/commitment right from the booking process, to the travel and then to the sheer size of the event. I also cant bare to drink warm beer in a piss den for 3 days.

                    It all seems like such a palava.

                      seanc80 If you buy into it all too much you can defo over think it. Easy enough to do it in your own way, find your own thing though.

                          seanc80 Most people are going for the vibe though, bar Ed, it’s basically cunt free.

                            Bollocks - sorry to hear that Granto! What a shitter
