Glastonbury thoughts...

[juliet]

catsgomiaow mentioned ID & CitizenCard & whatnot for getting into Glastonbury. Note that you *don't* have to get a CitizenCard if you don't want one[0] to get onsite. A photo driving licence is also acceptable, as is your passport. Passports haven't been mentioned on the website because they don't want to promote them since the police think they're too valuable for people to be carting around the festival with them. If you do take yours, you should put it in the lockup immediately on arrival.

ID info here and also here.

In other news, it occurs to me that I used to have a little tin for putting fagends in (they don't biodegrade, & the cows don't like them, so every single one dropped on the floor has to be picked up again before the cows can come back), but have lost it. But! these people sell little pocket ashtrays for £2.99 apiece. I shall be acquiring one - anyone else want one & I can get a job lot? (specify design if bothered)

I also need a folding chair (knees increasingly buggered...) & a space blanket to put under the sleeping bags. Must go camping-shop shopping!

[0] I explicitly don't because I don't trust the Home Office not to claim that CCard takeup rates represent support for compulsory ID card

Sigh. Suddenly everyone seems to be talking about Glastonbury and making tent and van and wellie plans... wish I was going!

I thought I wasn't arsed with outdoor festivals any more, but I think that was just V.

Ah, bother, I was going to give you the link for the Glade, but it seems it's sold out :-( I'll keep an eye out for anyone with a spare ticket. Come next year, anyway!

If you're really in need of Glasto goodness and can get your paws on an Orange phone, this is worth a try - Sean got Kat's ticket that way last year.

Oh! Gosh. I might just try that. I have an Orange phone...

If I get a ticket I will *so* owe you a pint.

IT's worth a go, at any rate. Also keeping an eye on the message boards might be a plan, because ticket re-issues appeared there first last year. They're less likely this year because ticket-selling was not so much doom, though.

Also Truck hasn't sold out yet. Come to Truck!
