jammy2211 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 The cup thing will be back - Tuborg was 20p at Download one year but I think it'll stick to 10p. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Its a good idea but it did my head in last year, random cup monkeys walking past and checking your drinks to see how much you had left, people nicking other peoples drinks when they put them down, I even saw people raiding the big bins they had in the arena just for cups !!

-pogo- Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 I heard off of an official source that they will be placing secial gold cups on the ground around the festival site, which will be worth £50 if you return them! Def True! tbh I'd start looking first thing, don't bother with any bands until you've found 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benisright Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 due to carling not sponsering the event anymore; no it wont be. Somebody off here did write to calsberg but there was no word of the cold beer amnesty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stfc84 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 i cannot stand the cup monkeys why spend your time at a festival collecting peoples dirty cups for the sake of making what £20? £50? big deal, you've spent £160+ being there so enjoy yourself!

Sparticus Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 yes but that's a bit of a far cry from being a cup monkey, they seems to care more about the cups than the bands lol, felt like getting my lighter out to spite them but it would've sent the wrong messages, and i'll be damned if the cup monkeys are getting praised.

howlin_pete Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 A cup monkey being someone who goes around collecting £50 worth of cups? Sure if they take your empty cup from your hand that wouyld be annoying but picking up ones people have carelessly chucked on the floor because they couldn't be bothered to find a bin? Its them who spent the £160 let them spend that time making money if they want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biffoire Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 a filthy look and a friendly f**k off usually got rid of them though i'm all for being in the festival vibe, but if some sad prick thinks he's going to nick my half pint whilst i'm chilling and enjoying a band (all for the sake of 10p), they can quite frankly get f**ked, haven't got the patience to be polite to muppets.

swede Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) Do you think that will be part of the political message in RATM's set? Also do you think we could start a bogus rumour that you also get money for picking up disgarded plates of noodles?! There's always shit loads of them lying on the floor, usually in spaces where you want to sit down! Edited July 25, 2008 by swede Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikle_me Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Hang on, didn't we finally decide that they weren't a political band because they had never arranged a sit in or similar?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benj Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Does that make Slipknot a political band?.... Or does the bit in the middle of "Spit it out" not count as a sit in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
