personally i prefer a tent to a 42 " plasma but each to their own...

I'm going. I always go. I don't think I ever really leave.

Not even HD can capture the magic of a night spent blundering through the back-ends of fields that 'definitely weren't here last year' with your eyes in backwards and your arm around someone you haven't met yet, tomorrow's sun melting facepaint you don't know you're wearing and two hours of boil-in-the-bag anti-sleep ahead of you - with a vodka and Berocca cocktail coming for breakfast.

God I dont think my brain can handle such activities nowadays...
I really dont miss turning up at my tent at 10 in the morning having watched the sun rise in the green fields and having an hours power sleep in the tent covered in sweat and stinking of fags n jd.... ok maybe I miss it a tad.
I have certainly discovered a need for more sleep and a desperate desire to sleep in a horzontal position and not sliding down your tent because its on an angle in my 30s...

As wussy as it sounds, I would love to do Glasto (without the whole hassle of the ordering system) but get a nice b&b somewhere off site so when you've had enough you can retreat to a clean bed and a shower (not in that order obviously).
I do miss the real hedonistic parts of Glasto; The Glade, Lost Vagueness etc. But I my passion for the sheer size of it and what Glaso stand for has diminished over the years.
Its more about Bestival & Big Chill for me nowadays.

as anyone who saw you after Orbital at Big Chill can attest.....

PS. If I won the lottery the first thing I'd buy (after I sobered up) would be a nice house in Pilton.

Err yeah, although that was a fantastic night by what I can remember.
