mrfunk Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 (edited) To clarify this 4pm carpark nonsense, I thought I would just ring the farm. So I just rang the farm and M.E. answered...my god yes M.E. ! I was totally speechless ! I asked Michael and he said carparks will be open tomorrow ..not sure what time though. Was so embarrassed and star struck.. he asked where I was coming from, have I been before, thanked me for my support (25 years) and said have a great fest! I told him he's a true legend, as I was welling up thanked him for creating the best weekends I've ever had ! He said it's a pleasure, cheerio and enjoy the festival!!!

(read in Michael's voice) That's basically what he said in the end... Was just so damn embarrassed that I was asking such a trivial question, to a very busy almost God-like legend.. he also said he could check with his parking manager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spindles Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 He is absolutely a lovely human being. Every tale I hear of interactions with him is just so heartwarming. The fact that he picks the phone up 2 days before the festival is just so...him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbilly Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 He once did a talk for my students. Came all the way to Nottingham in a cab. Paid for it all himself and was the perfect gent all day. Proper legend. Overriding memory was him turning up in his shorts in the middle of winter :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plot2pot Posted June 20, 2022 Report Share Posted June 20, 2022 And you didn't ask him who the TBA on The Park was going to be?! Good work though - I'd be proper star struck and would probably be unable to speak. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
