Nice Idea for a thread! Wonder if GlastoWatch can maybe incorporate something like this in the profile/bio settings????

1. Where are you from? Lake District originally, Midlands for a too long, very short spell in Stroud, couple of years in Brizzle, now in Bournemouth for the last few years
2. What job do you do? As little as possible! Website stuff, various web based tech support type stuff - Have done a number of other things, but that would be a long list on it's own!
3. How many times have you been to glasto? As a ticket holder, 3 times I think. As a 'fence jumper' (back in the days when it was possible) 3 or 4 times I think, as a volunteer (free entry, cushy camping, but need to do a little work too) think about 7 times this I think will be my 8th. As a trader once (great way to do the fest, but was a big tax write-off tho!)
4. Favorite type of music? Mixed bag, from Johnny Cash to Kylie Minogue. Will list a couple of my fave fest bands - Alabama 3, Levellers (early 2000's), Iggy Pop, James Brown, Funkadelic are just some that have floated my boat. Though if was asked fave form of entertainment available at Glasto, as there is so much more than just the music, I'd have to say 'People Watching'.
5. Favorite band/artist? Changes far too much, but currently Johnny Cash & Iggy Pop
6. Favorite film? Life of Brian - and many bank heist movies (44 minutes, Stander, Inside Man, etc, etc)
7. Favorite book? Hitchhikers Trilogy - Culture Novels by Iain Banks (though am a voracious reader, and will read almost anything except chick-lit)
8. Favorite drink? Cider (made from apples, and without gas!), Single Malt Whisky
9. Other hobbies? VW's (in particular my VW T4 Camper), Photography (still learning to take good pics with my DSLR), Surfing the web
10. Twitter or Facebook? Both, tho can be quite selective over who I connect with, or just plain ignorant! If I don't follow/friend back, drop me a line

Apologies for abusing the 2 answers only rule And if anyone can prod GlastoWatch to add these or similair questions to the profile settings....
