jparx Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 It's my birthday tomorrow so I'm hoping this is my gift, but will order it tomorrow if not. Very excited to read it - looks fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinn Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 It just got delivered. It looks incredible, I'm really impressed! So happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 It's a lovely book, postie arrived 10 seconds after I got home this morning, makes me feel the love and the belonging for the place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supernintendo Chalmers Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Not seen the book yet so I don't know the exact content. I assume that there are numerous crowd images, anyone spotted themselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareToDibble Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Mine says it will be delivered today but I’m a bit confused as the post is normally here in the morning. C’MON POSTIE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinhead Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Just ordered though Guardian Bookshop. £26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Royal Mail tried to deliver mine today but due to everyone being at work or nursery I'll have to wait until Saturday when I can get down to the sorting office. This wouldn't have happened if you were allowed to leave 2 year olds at home all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayfitz Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I picked mine up from Waterstones yesterday lunch, and when reading it last night I thought to myself 'I better tell my family I've got this - because I bet one of them is thinking of getting me this', so I message my family WhatsApp with a photo. This morning, my sister text back saying it was in her basket, ready to be ordered. They know me too well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a6l6e6x Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Just had a flick through, some great photos in there and I love some of the quotes from contributors. Looking forward to reading it properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DareToDibble Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Mine has arrived! I've gotta do some work but can't wait to have a read. I had quick read of the first few pages, already hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avalon_Fields Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) I'm a really, really (really) sad individual, I've scoured the book to see if I'm in any of the photos, now I'd discovered one of my best friends on page 301, I'm deadly jealous! Sick as a parrot! I'd kind of like it if the two guys on page 227 at the Stone Circle were efestivers. So much fun being had.

Crazyfool01 Posted October 30, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 What is it with royal mail these days? .... do they not realise the importance of tickets and the book to us ?! all these deliveries whilst people are out is just not acceptable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaryclaireyfairy Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 I just got mine home after collecting at Waterstones. By jings, it's a big hefty monster! And utterly gorgeous from my brief flick through. I feel like I should be wearing white cotton gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scenes at various Stages, ShangriLa, Block9, Campsites, Gate queue's etc.....it's a winner I tell you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 As predicted, was in bed when the postie came (13:30 apparently). Damn. Wasn't really planning on going out tomorrow daytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
