A bit.
I used to go every year but I opt for smaller festivals now. Latitude for the last couple of years and End of The Road this year.
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:46, archived)

I'd like to go to latitude next year
it seems to be getting better each year.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:48, archived)

Latitude is really lovely.
Nice surroundings, good camping areas, high quality food, small enough that if you lose someone it isn't the end of the world!

End of The Road is even smaller only 5000 people but has an amazing lineup if you like folky/acoustic music.
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:50, archived)

i might be doing both of those this year
latitude is a definite, end of the road will depend on monies

I'm saving my money for Amsterdam and shoes, glorious shoes.

I'd go for Scroob
I've not heard of most of the line-up.

I'm sure there's many.
I'm still not intune with your sick mind. You could have meant something completely innocent for all I know.

How does this morning find you?

Impatient, I have post due to arrive today.
LUSH post.

You?
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:53, archived)

Exciting, what is in this post?

( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:55, archived)

perfume, bath bombs, skin stuff, shampoo, conditioner....

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:55, archived)

I once made a bath bomb
It went smashingly
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Wed 27 May 2009, 10:47, archived)

Someone stole my parking space again *snarls*
Other than that pretty good but the 'rents finally sold the house so I'm currently looking for somewhere to live.

Is that parcel you were supposed to get yesterday?
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:56, archived)

Yep.
I hope you find somewhere, dude.
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:57, archived)

I'm going to look at a smashing little cottage in the middle of nowhere on Friday
It suits my reclusiveness perfectly media.rightmove.co.uk/33k/32471/32471_9387_IMG_00_0000.jpg

Ooooooooh lovely

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:59, archived)

I've also got a few other things to look at
But that one looks ideal, if I can get broadband through the phone line and the farm next door isn't too noisy or smelly.
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Wed 27 May 2009, 10:01, archived)

Nicely, sir.

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 27 May 2009, 10:02, archived)

Trying to arrange viewings is the hard part
Question 1) Do you work? - "Yes"
Question 2) Can you make it to the house in the day? - "No I'll be at work, can I see it on an evening or weekend?"
Sorry, we don't do evening or weekend viewings
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Wed 27 May 2009, 10:03, archived)

'So how do gainfully employed people view properties through yourselves?'

( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Wed 27 May 2009, 10:05, archived)

I did ask something similar to one of the agents,
they couldn't give two shits was the general impression I got.

Maybe I should have tried less sounding like a posh southerner and more like an irate inbred local. "Ay'up me duck, I don't want to poll thompson but I'd like to take a gander at the house by the jitty. My eadscrag is tup-ead so I have to go in the evening..."
( Maximinimus you stick around I'll make it worth your while, Wed 27 May 2009, 10:08, archived)

That is very true.
Although I do work in estate agency (please, no abuse) we will accompany viewings until 7pm weekdays and all day both Saturday and Sunday.

At the moment if someone wants to view something, most estate agents can't afford not to show them around.
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 10:26, archived)

That's what I'd have thought
Most of the decent lettings around here are through independant landlords or small estate agents though.

That is why I go to smaller less mental festivals these days.
Decent toilets and less crusties.
( Anthropos Was making beer on, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:52, archived)

you've been terribly unlucky to experience all these things firsthand
without even going
( manolith hooray for me, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:53, archived)

This is my idea of torture.
People don't realise how shit Glastonbury is becuase we are constantly told how fucking brilliant it is.

The only people that can afford to go are grungy champagne socialists that only wear clothes made of hemp grown in Palestine.

The whole thing makes me want to start a far-right youth movement.

you're so wrong,
you couldn't get more upper middle class than the majority of people who go there.

You're going to stand at the back with some cunt-faced media types talking about how Festivals have gone down hill
whilst reading your signed copy of Rob-da-bank's festival guide 2009 as featured in Time Out.

Nope I'm going to get hammered in a field with my friends
and listen to live music,

it'll be awful.

This is the bit where lots of people that think they are alternative and cooler than me tell me off for being wrong on the internet.

( WormuIus, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:55, archived)

you should form a band with the unrelistic hope of fame, but not really be very good but still talk about your band all the time
then you'll understand glastonbury

I went once.
I really didn't enjoy it very much at all, it must be said. This could be to do with the people I went with though.

for me glastonbury isn't so much about the lineup, but that does look pretty ace

if i can scrape the sponds i want to do some sort of festival, it's a shame glastonbury was off the cards this year
( spacefish bong!, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:51, archived)

don't waste your time
the Glastonbury ethos was ruined years ago when they built the second fence and actually started enforcing security. It's just another mass-market festival now, there is none of the old atmosphere.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Wed 27 May 2009, 10:26, archived)

as mass-market festivals go it still works well, in my opinion
i'm not asking anyone else to enjoy it, but it's fun for me
( spacefish bong!, Wed 27 May 2009, 12:04, archived)

there's some good stuff in the lineup but i'm not terribly interested in going to glasto
too many people and too high a chance of rain-soaked misery
( manolith hooray for me, Wed 27 May 2009, 9:52, archived)

East 17?
Really?

I'd quite like to see Jarvis and White Lies. And Spinal Tap. That's about it though.

I saw them in Camden Palace in the early nineties. Very fit lead singer. Some drunks were singing "get your tits out" at her. Cue the giant, fat, bearded, hairy bassist shouting "I'm not getting my fucking tits out for any cunt"
