to the guys who posted about buying the Anker phone charger from amazon, did you need to purchase the mains power lead and the phone leads as well as the charger itself?

Sealed soft drinks up to 500ml allowed.

Wasn't the case last year!! They weren't allowing any liquids or bottles in what so ever!

There's probably as much chance of me using the hot tubs as spending the evening in Mindfield after a clap-along at Paulo Nutini, but out of interest: do they make you walk through showers or anything before you hop in the water? The though of immersing myself in a bath of sweaty mud water and three-day-old ball juice is kinda icky.

Ah for god's sake the water isn't bad. It was clean. I'd say it was changed a few times each day. You also have a shower before and after the hot tub.

It is so civilised. I had your man keep throwing sticks in the stove, so the water was cooking, it was gorgeous.

Copied and pasted from their website. So I'd be inclined to have it bookmarked if I felt it was going to be an issue.

It came with a couple of cables for different phones, cannot remember if it had a charger with it though, I just charge it off the ipad charger or laptop, it's charging port is usb

think someone said they are near the arena entance in the jimi hendrix campsite. If thats the case then popping out at 12 or 1 wont be SO bad. Bad yes. But not SO bad.

any decent drinks offers around the place at the moment?

not doubting ya! I vaguely remember a similar page last year, but security had different ideas.
There were loads of ppl particularly on the Sunday, including me. Said to the Security guard "it's sealed, you can open it and smell if you want" -"Don't care you can't take it in" wouldn't mind but it was a bottle I had bought at a camp site stall. Arrg.

Think it was about 45 incl shipping, not the cheapest option in fairness, but I do use the thing quite a bit.

Been listening to FKA twigs' album a lot and getting very excited about seeing her. She's an artist with a great deal of vision and control over her sound and image for someone who is just on their debut album.

Aye cos rutting when you have been sweating and dancing in a field with minimal shower facilities and your neighbours are literally inches away is at the forefront of everyones mind.

This is why you take her back to your car instead. I would have thought condoms were a given.

Mine worked out at less than 40. Maybe around 39 euro. Free shipping when order is over 25 pounds. Came with micro usb cable, you can use it to charge battery off computer or just use any mains micro usb charger to charge it, like a Samsung one. Provided cable can also be used to charge phone such as Samsung from battery, or you just use your own usb cable (for iPhone or whatever) with it. Don't bother buying the plug if you have a Samsung charger anyway.

Got one of those 12000 mah powerbanks from aldi today for €20. Get your hole down to aldi tomorrow and save yourself a score. Great yolk, can charge 3 devices at once.

I usually drink water or coffee during the day at the arena, I have a few cans from 6 pm onwards at the camp site, I would buy pints in the arena but I resent the choice on offer, 3 kinds of lager, Bacardi cocktails, I hate the fact that I'm forced to drink lager if I want to drink a beer in the arena when the bars are doing business. The last time Guinness was served was at the 2007 EP, Murphys apparently is in the same group as Heineken, but you can't get a stout at the festival, I heard recently that the VIP bar had Murphys, respect the stout drinkers I say. Thats what my carry out consists of anyway, loads of Guinness.

Were there many left when you went in? I'm probably gonna hit up a few Aldis tomorrow in the hopes of getting one. I've got a little pebble charger but it only holds just over a single charge at full capacity (I was planning to get by with that) whereas that 12,000 mah beast would charge both my phone and my girlfriends a couple of times before it ran out I'd say!

The poor portaloos. I am partial to a few pints of stout but its not pretty or kind in a festival setting.
