ive been thinking about buying a canister, what is the likelyness that i'd get caught with it and what would they do?

I think they'd think you were being ironic

[fatyeti24]

it's not illegal is it.  tell them you just like whipped cream in your hot chocolate at bedtime.

there was loads of it about the last few years.  Wednesday at the stone circle was soundtracked by the sound of balloons inflating.  we had no problems bringing ours in.

Does anyone else think that laughing gas has ruined the stone circle? The constant whooshing noise has spoilt the atmosphere up there IMO.

The cannisters being left on the ground is the real problem. Considering the issue they took with tent pegs, you can't imagine the same effect they could have on the cows is far off

Do it ya want, they can't really do much anyway - however I will kindly request you take your whippets with you and dispose of them offsite.

Last year I worked, their policy was to confiscate it at the gates if they found it. One guy tried to argue it wasn't illegal etc but they just said "We know what its for, we're not stupid, and it's not allowed in".
However I highly doubt they'd even take it off you once you're in, certainly didn't see any signs of it.
You won't get in any trouble for it anyway, as it isn't illegal.

Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Confiscate it...

Me and Dave Letory were walking back to Pennards last year when a security guard was walking along with a cream dispenser and two very upset teenagers pleading with him to give it back.....

Don't do it myself, but I don't really mind what other people are up to... but it's the cannisters on the ground that I found annoying. They're all over the place - and these aren't biodegradable beer cups, they're strong, metal containers!

do you mean a cannister of medical nos or a creamer?? if they find either at the gates they'll confiscate them. remember whippets and creamers might be legal but selling balloons to people to inhale is not and i did hear that a guy was arrested last year up at the stone circle for selling it (i also saw a security guard do a balloon on the monday morning up at the stone circle whilst standing up... seconds later he collapsed on his arse and looked like he didnt know what had hit him while the guys who gave it to him stood and laughed at him for ages! wish i'd got it on video!) if you do want to bring it in dont take all your stash in at once just incase and get one of these... http://cgi.ebay.co.u...=item2c53e0ef2c
much easier to hide than a creamer although stopping your boxes of whippets from giving off that familiar jingling sound can be a bit more tricky!

Yeah we've had a mini dispenser for years. Has an adapter for two sizes of cartridge. Very handy pocket size. No need for those great big things.

(To others) Hey nobody's saying that NOS is the most amazing thing ever... it's just a bit of a laugh and pretty harmless, that's all. (cue someone posting a dramatic story of a younf girl who died after taking NOS).

There was this Girl once and.... well no actually I am fine with it except

and here's my concern and why I dont like it....

The waste... some camp sites last year where littered with the metal bottle and bits of plastic everywhere...

Thats what pisses me off, the mess...... If that could be sored so no mess then fine...

[Boris]

Yeah fair point. I think I always take mine away, pretty sure.

[musiclove123]

If you want laughing gas they have it at the herbal high stalls. Not cheap though if I remember rightly

I dont know about ruining the atmos but its very annoying!

[thegasman]

You can get the dispenser for about £20 online, its worth the risk taking them in coz you only need to sell 10 and you have made your money back! I got mine from www.discountcream.co.uk im pretty sure it was the cheapest online n the guy gave me 10% off my 2nd order

[Macca3031]

There was a spot at the stone circle last year where it looked like a nos seller had been murdered, there were literally hundreds of canisters on the floor, couldn't see how a group of humans could have got through so much.

Say no to hippy crack

you're doing it all wrong! get with the times mate, if you want free advertising on this site tell everyone to change their avatars to pictures of whippets, creamers or balloons wth your sites name on them in exchange for the chance to win a Nos goodie bag and repeat this every week or so until glasto, you'll soon build up a loyal customer base    remember to exclude the irish though, you dont want the excessive postage costs eating into your profits!

True! However it's probably the first useful spam post i've seen.
