Sodding hell: Heavy rain predicted for Glasto

they ALWAYS predict bad weather for glasto, its because they hate the idea that it wont conform to their preconceptions. Its in a microclimate anyway.

or the guy in the picture...?

.. he had in the weeks and months after that photo was taken

i'm sure.

I've just had the joyful experience of watching the sink and washing machine in my flat spew out water up from the drains, which clearly couldn't cope with the torrential deluge of biblical proportions that swept across town this morning. My kitchen and lounge are now awash with mud, water and possibly worse.

That said, at least I'm not at Glasto...

I for one would prefer a dry festival

1) Weather forecasters aren't exactly great at predicting what the weather will be later today, so how can you possibly expect them to predict the weather a fortnight in advance? My forecast: snow on the Friday, scorching heat on the Saturday, Vitalic on the Sunday night.

2) Everyone went on about the weather being so godawful at Glasto '05. Fact is that from Wednesday morning till Monday lunchtime, there were only 8 hours of rain, from about 3am till 11am on the Friday morning. It just so happened that the 8 hour torrential downpour, coupled with the bone-dry ground combined to cause flash floods. This year, the ground should be a bit better prepared for rain, what with it having rained all through May.

GOOD!

ha, hope so!

what?

ill get me coat

The water's far more likely to get into a tipi.
I on the other hand will be in a camper...

With a dry cool wit like this I could be an action hero.

i live near it! I know!

and waking up in the morning to that was terrible.

i was just sharing my general excitement for my tipi.
but now that you mention it, how much more likely is it for water to enter my tipi than a tent. cmon, hit me with some figures, id be really interested......
