I may well try to get there for Beans on Toast, though. Avalon was packed out last year, and we couldn't get close enough to hear properly. 

Yeah, I was there for that one and it was rammed!

Aye, Neil's had them down as SR for a while.  Would make me properly happy if that happened, and could well mark the first time I'm not at a music stage for a late / headline act!

Indeed we are, and it helps to recognise it as such!  Saw these recently and they basically sum me up when it's all getting a bit much

I'd be very tempted by French and Saunders!! 

Crikey that is accurate, that cartoon! I'm ok with the work phone, it's just my mobile. I never answer numbers I don't recognise and would much rather people texted! Like you say though, at least we know what's what

I'm probably too late if gumby or quark are around, but I had to comment on this in case anyone thought I was slacking. 

(I always feel a little disappointed in myself when I have to tell Mrs scruff that the poke is over). 

Nah, I thought that one was too obvious.  After the beauty from metakate earlier I'm all good for Finbarrs today

(I always assume Mrs Scruff is fairly happy to hear that)

That'll be 3 now!  I have to go out to see a client at 5.40 and my phone has to be off from 6 til 7.15.  Unlikely the sale will be after 6 but sure all you lovely peeps will have it covered.

I was downstairs cos Mr Yeti's cousin has dropped in. So would have totally missed it.

Just Tipis changing back to sold out.  I don't have time (or enough hands) to try the booking page and check what the change is before I forward so it'll be a bit indiscriminate I'm afraid!

[Quark]

I make no claims for this evening.  Spin at 6 and then off to see Skinny Lister in Brighton so I'll be even less use than usual!

Can't see them springing a late one though, reckon it'll be an afternoon job

Oh that's not what i meant. Keep sending everything, will take too long to check. Its just that at that particular time i was downstairs. Just goes to show how easy it can be to miss it. Will make sure to keep phone in my pocket.

I wasn't meaning anything either (as it were).  The best place to spend the day would be in the loo as this is constant brown trouser time...

It hasn't happened yet then. Came out of work to two page changes! Frightening. I'll be sat at the lap top all afternoon tomorrow

I got great coach times, 8am leaving and 12pm going home! I'm happy with these. Just gotta keep praying for bad weather this month to allow good weather in June!! 

[MilkyJoe]

Evening lovelies. First of all I really can't thank you all enough for the effort you're all putting in for tickets. Above and beyond the call of duty it really is!

Quark, Leftfield is well worth a visit. I haven't been to any of the major debates but I try and be there for Bills roundup in the afternoons a couple of times over the weekend. He usually has some great guests on.

Those are good times Cg. A little earlier setting off but I'd be very happy with that. Not too much bad weather though eh!

I would gladly have the most horrendous weather this month if it meant nice weather for the festival and ok weather leading up to it. Last years m*d was awful. Mind... I still had my best time yet so I'm not complaining really, it would just be easier on the legs. Friday morning and the journey getting in were just bloody tiresome for me last year. Twice I had moments of 'this is hard work'.

Morning all

[Skoo]

Morning everyone!

For those trying for secret sale tix, someone posted some inside info on the resale thread suggesting it is likely to be tomorrow.

Not to say we shouldn't all be on the alert today too, but just thought I'd flag.

I got my coach times yesterday from Brighton - 7:45 out, and 4:30am return.

That 4:30am return time is going to be tough but on the plus side, it's a realistic time to simply stay up all night.

[cornish hick]

Morning Gang - tis grey and chilly willy weather down here but no wet stufff ...yet!

[dizzymoo]

Hi lovely peeps beautiful sunshine here.  Loved the pic @mr gumby where's it from?

@Skoo I saw the post on the SR thread about deadline of 5pm today for friends of staff to buy tickets,  but wouldn't assume it's correct.  I'll still be on high alert!

I'll do my best to pass on alerts today but have to be away from my pc and with my phone off for several hours.  Good luck Team MJ

[sheffieldlady]

@Skoo 4.30am isn't a bad coach time, in theory roads should be quiet at that hour! I'd just pack up the morning of the Sunday, place everything in a lock-up and collect it after an all-nighter
