Yog the nfr thread has been joining forces for me and grumpy since resale day. It's not something that has just sprung up out of nowhere.

Milky Joe -  As I said in my post above, I haven't been keeping a track of things on the NFR thread. I don't always read the thread before making a post on there.

Good night.. Can I just wish my mate a good brain operation tomorrow and I hope he comes through alive, better, and in not to much pain... There's fuck all they can do for his looks but there you go. Good luck Gary old son. Me and Sharon. 

 

PS. If you see this on Facebook it's cos I have to copy paste.. I can't write on there for some reason lol. G

Good luck Gary, hope you slept ok Guy and that your mate is ok x

Blimey, I know that stakes are high around ticket sales but it's all gone a bit witchhunty on here!  Cockups happen, mistakes are rectified, onwards and upwards people.  Sure we can get everyone sorted for tix.

And good luck Gary indeed.

Good morning all 

I love a bank holiday Tuesday :-) it's liberation day today, bestest buddy is here and we will go and see the celebrations / reenactment stuff ... In other news I became an Auntie in the early hours of this morning , my first nephew ( and I have no nieces either ) - won't see him for a while though as he's in Bali :-(

Good question and normally at this late stage I'd say go for it but my problem  is that I don't travel home from work until the 21st. This means for the first time ever I won't be able to make it down until the Thursday afternoon at the earliest. My missus knows how much Glastonbury means to me but she would cut my balls off if I dumped my bags down and set off down the road the same day as I get back after being away for 8 weeks!

Due to not knowing what day a coach would be I feel as though I have no choice but to go for GA.

No worries, yoi can't do anything about it. Just wanted to double-check in case it happened and someone panicked

Great news auntie fairy!

Enjoy your bank holiday.

[guypjfreak]

Thanks one and all. Gary update tomorrow 

What's all this about shit going on... Witch hunts.. Etc..

Guy you're right, we need to do more sun worshipping!! 

If it helps, it's my sisters wedding soon and I will happily take a downpour and have to cower under a brolly for a fag outside, if it means a dry Glastonbury! 

[Skoo]

Talking of downpours we really need one to happen in the next couple of weeks. They were saying on the news this morning it's been a dry spring. England isn't gonna hold out until after Glasto before pissing it down - let's get it out the way now!

Congrats @Funkyfairy! on becoming an auntie!

Hello lucy,

That'll be 'dry' weather wise. I couldn't imagine a 'dry' Glastonbury in terms of drink. I did try it once and lasted 24 hours. I shan't be doing it again.

Oh, and thanks for sacrificing your sister's wedding day happiness for the cause. 

[sheffieldlady]

I'm off to Riga at the weekend, I'd take a downpour there to please the weather gods!

Oh yes, no one is talking about giving up booze! Crikey! haha! 

You're welcome, I just hope it works

page 2 bump - glorious sunshine in Manchester.

Not wanting to reopen the debate *witchunt* but who are we trying for re tickets? Am sure Grumpy didn't intend to create a problem as he is a well known and liked efester, don't want to feel I am not helping him but equally don't want to risk losing MJ's chance of a ticket. From my perspective if Grumpy can confirm ( I don't think he has yet) that everyone else he has got trying for him also has MJ's details and is trying for him I am happy to add him but if he can't confirm this then I will just try for MJ - hopefully that is reasonable? 

So - everyone - jam or cream first on those scones....

No, Grumpyhack posted earlier that he has numerous groups trying, some for him alone, some with others and some with MJ. No witchhunt just decisions made on information provided. I will be helping MJ.

Hey lovely folks, I hope everybody has had a good day. I'm just up and about for my night shift, a bit of a panicky moment when I woke up to find that I had 2 emails from @siblin's page checker. My phone going off hadn't woken me!☹️Volume on full for tomorrow methinks! It looks like something happened but I'm not sure what? I'm guessing it wasn't a ga sale? 

[guypjfreak]

Can't believe it.. Go and pick up some tables and chairs so my mate has some thing to do when he gets out of hospital only to find he's home sat drinking tea.. His op was cancelled at last minute so last minute he had his hospital bands on and the arrows marked on his head where they were going to cut... Something to do with old people and no beds...... Fubar..

Ahh that sucks Guy, I guess it's better to get these things out of the way as quickly as possible and last minute cancellations aren't good for the state of mind. I hope he gets another date soon.
