Everyone loves the Pistols!  My live introduction was 2015 at the tail end of the Friday r*in - made it up to the Glade and the place bouncing like it was wall to wall sunshine

Best just hope the kids don't ask too many questions about Mucky Weekend

hmmm yes maybe haven't thought that through... That 2015 set at the glade was the first time I saw them as well - it was so much fun

Sorry I don't think it's a big secret - Grumpy's friends have dropped out -  @grumpyhack that's correct isn't it?

[MilkyJoe]

Ahh sorry Dizzy I had no idea, I haven't heard from Grumpy since we set this up and had seen nothing on here so was completely unaware anything had changed. I better let everybody know that has my payment details and hope they don't go on sale today!

[noplacelikehome]

didn't know this! Good job resale not happened yet or someone could have ended up buying 4 tickets

We definitely need to make sure everyone's got the same information, or you could end up paying for unwanted tickets (amazed that there can be such a thing)!  Tickets are extremely unlikely to go on sale over the weekend, and certainly not before the refund deadline.  Monday is when I'll be properly on watch.

Yeah Monday onwards is my thinking too although if previous years (#thereisnopattern) are anything to go by it's likely to be later in the week or even the week after. I'll make sure I notify everyone on my list tonight when get up for work and make sure we're all on the same page. Thanks again for the heads up.

Shaun.

Right so just Shaun and Grumpy then?

Good morning!! 

It's my sister's hen do this weekend, we are glamping I shall be off after work to go and get shitfaced in a field for two days! Brilliant! The pile of stuff I have to take with me is huge, somehow more than I'd take to Glastonbury!! 

It's sunny at the mo but I have packed waterproofs and suncream to keep the weather gods happy  

 

ooo what a great hen do - glamping/camping would be my perfect hen do, as it was I had mine at Fairylove, making wings, singing, playing on trampolines, and having photoshoots (the same fairylove who are at Glastonbury every year)

I hope so too! I'm assuming you know we're just after the 2 tickets now?  I reactivated my checkpage subscription today and it's already bleated at me about the change when cv tickets sold out.  Trouble is that I have to be out of the house a lot more than I was this time last year, so am more likely to be away from my pc at the crucial moment. I have zero confidence that I could use my phone, but will have a practice over the weekend.  In between quiz, hen-do, face painting, seeing a client, shopping and friend's 60th birthday party.  Normally my weekends are peaceful refuges of inactivity!

Whaaaattttt only 2 ? I have all 4 reg numbers stuck to my desk at work/ saved in my phone etc  .... who;s out - is it GH's two friends... would hate to get someone tickets who didn;t actually want them - can you imagine ?

Grumpy's friends have dropped out, so it's just him and Milky Joe needing tickets.  We do need to make sure we're all trying for the same 2 people or it could be a major fuck up!

Fairylove sounds like a great place for a hen do.  I didn't have one as we ran away to Gretna to get married.  Cheaper and much less stressful!

[Quark]

OK thanks Dizzy!

So I'm pretty sure it's this way round, if anyone can confirm I'm right that'd be cool

Blimey I missed the post where the two friends dropped out. Does @H.M.V know ?  Thanks for the clarification

[sheffieldlady]

Glad I checked, updated my list for just the two tickets  

[Funkyfairy!]

I'm hoping the resale is after Tuesday, its bank holiday here on tuesday and my best friend is over, I really cannot spend all day on a PC, like I can at work ;-), having said that I will have my phone and the reg numbers with me !

I think Grumpy's not got round to telling people so the first inkling for most was my casual mention of it to Quark about an hour ago.

Yep that's what I've got, with Grumpy as lead booker as MJ will be out of the country when tickets are sent out.

Sorry to dash in and dash out again whilst you're sorting ticket details but I've got a very short break in my hateful day

Working for s mitchelin star chef and it's horrible

I asked for a cigarette break and he made a whole song and dance about only being allowed 1...I only bloody wanted 1...and to choose my time wisely blah blah blah

No one talks at all in the kitchen, and I'm a talker, the Sous chef is an utter bitch and I've got to go back tonight and put food on plates with Tweezers....

Hope everyone else is having a better day

That sounds like kitchen hell Georgie.  Ironic that people are (rightly) concerned about the welfare of the animals reared for their food but rarely consider the treatment of the staff who prepare it.  Good luck in getting through tonight.

[dizzymoo]

Hi lovely peeps, have just confirmed with Grumpy that his friends no longer want tickets so please make sure you (and anyone else helping) have just his and Milky Joe's details ready for buying GA tickets in the secret sale, in which we will of course be successful

Grumpyhack   71693522 CF83 8RQ  (lead booker)

Milky Joe    66977002 LA9 6FD

 

Off to quiz soon.  Any (good) ideas for team names?

 

[carlosj]

Glad I've seen the update. I've changed the details on the page and will try next week.

Thanks for the confirmation Dizzy, that could have been an expensive one if there had been a flash sale! I think most people on here have seen this now but I'll send a quick message to everybody that offered to help tonight to make sure. 

Hope everybody has had a good day and enjoying their Friday nights. Gin? Rum? Crazy Vimto?

Sat on the sofa with a cat on my lap, munching pizza and finally watching the 2 hr REM documentary I recorded ages ago. I shall soon be cracking open the rum. I am a happy man
