I haven't been to Glastonbury for over 10 years but I do go to 'V' in Staff's and the Isle of Wight festival. After camping throughout my ‘yoof’ I find staying in a nearby hotel and getting a bus in is the best option these days, there’s nothing better than arriving on Sunday freshly showered with a full English inside and beer tokens in hand, we did try camping again a couple of years back but hated being kept awake all night only to be confronted with a 2 hour queue for a shower in the morning, some friends of ours had £400 and all their 'gear' stolen in the night, it just wasn't fun anymore.

Isn't that called the greenfields or something similar?

Sounds a bit like The Big Chill.

[Moscow Mule]

Sounds great, apart from the blaring music. Can't they have a festival where everyone sort of mills around in a muddy field, puffing spliffs and swigging boose and hugging each other, without all the expense and disruption of the bands?

Am sure you can find a quiet area when there to partake in above mentioned activities.

2 pairs of jeans (1 for wearing throughout the festival, 1 left in the car to get changed in for coming home)
Warm jumper
Wellies
Cigs
Cash
Wet wipes
lots of Beer/several Boxes of Wine
underwear with extra pairs of socks (wet feet is so depressing)
firelighters
torch
tent, sleeping bag, air bed (so you get a floaty good nights sleep if its rains hard)

that's all you'll need (i think), you'll either love it or hate it

Chef - you're not selling it to me sweetie

He probably doesn't want you to go because you;ll be nicking all the best viewpoints for the bands and drinking all the beer.

I can cope with that I'm not that bad

It's the shower thing I will struggle with but she tells me baby wipes were invented just for that

The only act that I'd go and see is Neil Diamond

I am, I said
To no one there
And no one heard at all
Not even the chair
I am, I cried
I am, said I
And I am lost, and I can't even say why
Leavin' me lonely still
