These conflicting weather reports are going to give me a panic attack.

If they're conflicting, you've found a bad weather source, because all the decent ones are pretty much agreeing on some rain overnight Saturday-Sunday, and Sunday being showery.

Hello Matthew you magnificent b**tard.

Any idea where the Ticketmaster box office is located? Got Sunday tickets off Ticketmaster this morning when they went back on sale but said they were box office collection only.

Not necessarily, but would be nice to get through it dry
After that, I'll make it up as I go

Can't wait to go now! Have everything set and ready to go. As prepared as we can be for the weather. If it rains, be grand, everyone is in the same boat. Not gonna worry about it too much, just gonna go with the flow and enjoy!!

I have only seen them the once .. in the EA(?) tent a couple of years back .. My mind was utterly blown... her voice is absolutely amazing live. Everyone was pretty much stunned by the beautiful sounds in that tent. Was up there with one of the best gigs I have ever been to.

I was there too, but got in late and was near the back. It was incredible, and probably the reason they went to the top of my must see list this year.

There was a tickemaster wagon in the green car park last year. An earlier poster said all day ticket holders would be parking in green so should be Easy to find

Step 2
Print double sided making sure its the right way back to back and then laminate

Step 3
Cut in four. Small children should get an adult to help them with scissors
You can also cut the edges along the small crosses in the corner which are the bleed for a sharper more professional finish.

Step 4
Laugh at others when their phone dies.

You Sir, are a hero!

Has the Play the Picnic schedule been released?

Hopefully the west breaks up that rain heading in for Saturday/Sunday somewhat.

All hope is not lost yet!

You have to fight Master Blaster and win to stay for the next set.

MyPeopleDrankTheSoup

your map is unreal MJohnston. the official maps are so ****, they let the graphic designers loose not caring if it's actually that accurate.

that Sunday night clash is the worst i've ever seen. soulwax, Duran Duran, pond, j hus, kiasmos and Ash. i'm leaning towards Soulwax at the moment, maybe Duran Duran

It reminds me of the rave dome they had way back in 2005, which was superb.

Yeah, we're in the campervans so we're heading down tomorrow afternoon as well. Bringing our toddler along for the second year in a row, so not the same kind of fun as days of old.

rubick

That's a legendary move, fella!

I think all volunteers have to sign in on Thursday morning for induction or something. If you've a long distance it's as easy to go Wednesday than very early Thursday.

I have to admit, I've been a lurker on this thread for about 6 months, but this has just made me laugh way too loud at work, I just had to applaud!! Could have something to do with just finishing a 10 hour shift, on holidays now, and I'm super giddy.
