    Just got a weird look from someone because I laughed out loud to that post!

    Mines addressed to my mum, I can't pay for it because I wasn't allowed a debit card a year ago, and I haven't been bothered to go back and check if I can again

    our post man knows my dad so they didn't care as long as they got a signature.

    Get to camp for longer, drink at night and have a crazy time with other campers who also left on the wednesday...

    costs more but half the festival is the night life! so why not start two days early!

    Also, get closer tents to the fest.

    leaving friday isn't a huge biggie.. will just be in a further back campsite.

    ok asking this here but also going to start thread as this one has select few readers by looks of it.
    Basically they released all the times now and i want to create a graph like time line that shows when each band starts and finishes for each stage so for each day i can have 4 rows (1 for each stage) and have the bands displayed as diff colours so i can see the overlaps and times.
    all got the mental image?
    right what program can I use/ how can I do it? or has anyone made one already?

    Excel!

    You can create that kind of thing through directly editing and formatting the cells to look like a table or you could even create a Gantt Chart.

    I have attached an Openoffice spreadsheet for Reading that you can edit for Download.

    Or you could use Microsoft Project, if you have a license?

    Or if you want it to look pretty more than it is practical use Visio? But that would be a brave idea, it's not really suited for that.

    Anyone seen the weather forecast?
    Looks like wellies rather than flip flops

    I was thinking sandles rather than wellies as wellies rub and sandles are easy to clean

    after i finished changing this reading spreadsheet ill post it on here

    I recommend Forever Never on the Red Bull stage on Saturday.

    Saw them at a gig in a pub function room near me, then a couple of months later supporting Stone Sour.
    Infact, on one of their Myspace blogs you could actually see me in one of their pictures.

    They have a really good metal sound, specially if you like Killswitch Engage or Stone Sour

    They are an epic band and could really get some where. Check them out before hand if you get the chance
