off early morning,badly prepared into the middle of nowhere
so whats the toilets like ? 
oh don't tell me that...! i'm heartbroken at missing it this year. went last year - it was AMAZING. wouldn't go anywhere else now.
the loos are as good as you'll get. with lovely daises painted on them too.
fuck shit arse wank bollocks.
i'd been keeping a vague eye on ebay too. there's still a couple of bargains to be had. ooooooooooooooooooooooh. hmmmmmm.
i wonder how quickly i can dig my tent out?

it's at beccles. which i like to think is in my honour.
Everyone I know who has been says the same thing: it's how festivals should be/used to be.
Which means that this year, with everyone telling their mates the same thing, it'll probably be as shit as all the others. Good line-up, mind.
Well it certainly Sounds good.Apart from this bloody rain.
awwww Rebecca i remember now,it was where you watched tindersticks 
Nice part of the country - just outside Southwold in Suffolk which I've just come back from holiday.
Enjoy!
We considered it this year Bansh as it is such a good lineup. Would rather do the lesser known or boutique festivals than the big ones. If only because the toilets are better!
Rock Ness and Belladrum were brilliant. Even looking at Kendal Calling and the Bingley one now.
A couple of my mates went to that Kendal Jerting last year and really enjoyed it. That Bingley one looks good, dead cheap too.
Have a good 'un Bansh.

I was in Barcelona this weekend. It wasn't windy at all and the flight back was full of Bencassim casualties who all said that there was a large fire, which destroyed most of the tents, but then heavy rain put it out. None of the bands played, they just spat at the audience and then a pack of wild dogs ran onto the site and bit everyone's legs. No mention of wind though, apart from that caused by all the food poisoning.
Hope this helps.
Yes very helpful thanks. But really I'm bitter as I was secretly hoping it was going to be rubbish.
Rec'd a text from a friend there over the weekend saying how GAY the Pet Shop Boys were! the dirty buggers
