you have a friend that wants to come along to t...but you know there to paranoid about getting hair messed up/pissed thrown over them/crushed/loud noises/long journeys/lack of sleep...

Perhaps don't bring them? Or stand at the back for everything?

Give their ticket to someone else who will go and have a good time.

I took a friend 2 years ago that was pretty much the same and she loved it got as mucked up as the rest of us!

You're not even safe of these things even stood at the back ..... trust me! So you're as well down the front in the thick of it having fun.

yeah sell it to some one that wants to go and you will benefit from them going as you will hav a better weekend

get that wrecked and just walk of an leave them and make your excuses when you finally met up with them later or maybe monday morning before you go home

disown them.

Serious answer, persuade them not to come. You wont enjoy it if they're moaning the whole time, and they wont enjoy it either. It'll ruin it for both of you.

I think a lot of people's attitudes change in a festie environment when they realise everybody's as mucky etc as each other.

Tell them to forget it?

sounds like a shite friend to me, get her steaming drunk and take her to the caliegh tent im sure she will brighten up in there!

Lose them inside when you get in...

This is very true. When people watch on telly and have never been they might have ideas about how horrible it is, but when they are there in the thick of it, it's a different story, every year our camp grows with people who think they are too clean for festivals/camping till they do it once then they are hooked...even in the mucky years of 97/98

if your friends worried about any of the above DONT TAKE THEM!!!!!

and get a new fun friend!!!!!!

Seriously reconsider your friendship!

Dont risk it - nothing worse than someone else spoiling your weekend!!!


Its an exspensive weekend to have ruined!!!

Sit them down and tell them that chances are they will look and smell like shit the whole weekend, get covered in whatever is thrown and that its not luxury camping accomidation, so doing hair and make up and moaning about sleep deprivation will be pointless.

You know, just tell them what to expect and if they argue/ moan about that then dont get them a ticket.

Stand back.....and laugh!

politely inform said friend that altho cleanliness is next to godliness, at T it doesnt matter!!!
no one cares!!!
i took my man last year and he moaned, by saturday night i'd conveniently forgotten who he was!!!!!
if u reckon it'll ruin ur weekend dont take ur mate, u'll end up hating them.....

p.s we were at the back at the kaisers last year and the piss still hit us!!! ur never safe!!!

[dirty old man mode engaged]

Are they female? I'll let them sleep in my camper van and help them fix their hair

[disengaged]

Seriously though take them along, add cider, and they'll soon stop caring

tell them to give their head a shake!

Or when you get there cover them in cider/beer/piss/mud, just for the crack

take someone who will appreciate being dog tired, convered in sweat/beer/mud and love you for it

*hint hint*
