Don't forget to pre-register for Glastonbury. If you're going, that is. If you're not, you should.

Hm. Just need to find/take suitable photos now.

No hurry to pre-register, though - a (theoretically) infinite number of people can pre-register, closing date for it is 28th Feb.

I wanted to register online, but I don't have a digital version of my passport photo (and my scanner is buried under a pile of stuff and I don't have an OS X driver for it and etc etc). However, it occurred to me that admin.ox already *do* have a digital version of my passport photo, because they've put it on my Bod card. Who would I contact to ask for a copy of the JPG? Do you think it's even remotely likely that they'd say yes? (Can you think of any legitimate reason they could give for saying no? Who owns the copyright on a passport photo?)

I think if it was taken with a machine then no-one other than you can possibly hold the copyright. If it was done by a person at a shop that might not hold.

Any photo that meets all the criteria (face unobscured, eyes open, mouth closed, expression fairly neutral, head+shoulders, plain background) will do, and they scale it down to the right size. Mine's here:

But I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. They're very efficient at sending out new cards/etc but when it comes to something not in their day-to-day business, it can sometimes take an age!
