Yes the strawberries do look a bit like tiny brains after a while! I usually only do the strawberry infusion a week or so before the festival, as it doesnt need long. However, I think leaving it longer will give a more intense flavour perhaps? 

Thurlow! Hello! Hope you're well! 

I managed to pay my balance last week so that cheered me up a bit, it was touch and go as if I could afford it but I thought what the hell

Brilliant news, th!

So glad that things kind of worked out enough for you to be coming - especially with next year being fallow.

I have an unshakable conviction that GF2017 is going to be quite, quite epic!

A day dealing with twatwaffles can drive a peaceful man to thoughts of violence!

But a glorious day and one step closer to holiday and then the farm!

Glad you can make it @thurlow84

Hello all,

I've got to start getting my act together on this going for tickets thingy bob. As such, I need to add another two efesters to my group of two, so that as many efesters as possible get a chance to go. With this in mind, does anybody know of two efesters who still need tickets ie any of your mob want in? If not, then I'll go to the resale thread list thingy and see if I can help anyone out there. Just thought I'd ask the folk on here first, as I have some vague recollection that someone off here still did need a ticket or two.

If I don't get a response saying that there are people you know who would like in, then I'll go to the resale thread. Got to put a time limitation on it, otherwise I'll not be able to progress this further.

Hope everyone's having a nice day.

News Flash -  My mate (the one with access to cheap chocolate) has just brought around another, even bigger, batch of Green & Black chocolate. I am now staring at 14 big bars of the stuff PLUS a big (as in big) box of their Connoisseur Collection chocolates. This is mental. I already have a diet which most doctors would say gives cause for concern!

@Curlygirl where are you?  Not seen you post for a while, hope you are OK? (And I can't remember what name you go by on Glasto Gals but don't think you've been there recently either)

Happy Tuesday one & all

 

 

Hi Georgie!! Hi everyone else!

I've been to Benidorm and just read last weeks posts. There's far too much to comment on! But mainly... @Yoghurt on a Stick I'm sorry you had a bit of a hard time but I'm glad you're still coming to Glastonbury (ticket gods allowing) As everyone else has said, you are a beautiful person regardless of teeth or no teeth, we are not judgemental people so please put your mind at rest. I owe you alcohol so make sure you're at the NFR meet!! Hear me? 

@mr gumby and @Scruffylovemonster That finbar was so obvious and I feel the gang is slacking massively! We need to bring back cones of shame 

I'm happy with meeting at bread and roses again. Plenty of room and seats and a bar and toilets. 

Anyway, back to Benidorm. Oh my word I have seen some sights! Sticky vicky. Sticky Vicky's daughter Barbara, and sticky Vicky's other daughter that used to be a son, pulling all sorts out of their fanginas!! Like hammers, and strings of razor blades, and bunting! They even open bottles of beer up there.

Bon soir from France, last days before home. I've really appreciated Google Maps automatically giving me directions to the Pyramid stage or the Other Stage each time I check where we are in Brittany. That really is efficient directing, even if it's a bit early.

[trevethin]

*waves* I haven't been here for past few weeks - daughter hogging laptop doing GCSE revision, and builders here

Will aim to catch up with what you've all been up to next week.

Hello Curlygirl,

I hear you loud and clear. As long as I get a ticket, I'll be at the efests meet up and the NFR meet up. 

Regarding Benidorm - I've been there a number of times and have always enjoyed it. The first time I went I was in a bar and they started asking parents if they could leave the place taking their children with them. Then they said something like 'people who are easily offended, please leave'. I hadn't got a clue what was going on. I asked someone and they said that Sticky Vicky is doing a show. I had no idea who she was. I soon found out. Yes, I can confirm that her show consists of extracting various objects from her vagina. An odd occupation, by anybody's standards.

I've also been to a bears bar there. That was also an experience to remember. Or should I say forget!?

Hello all,

I've had a PM about the two places left to form a group of four going for tickets, so will run with that.

Whereabouts in Brittany are you?

Inland Vitré tonight and tomorrow, then back up to Caen for a bit of historical geeky William the Conqueror walkabout and the ferry on Saturday. We've been traveling down to below Carnac and a few beaches before driving up again. I love the area and now have the flag for the Glastonbury flag pole.
