Stumbled across this article if anyone's interested in how they help clear the fields of metal tent pegs etc

It's about time they found a way of picking up casually discarded drugs.

MDMA / mushroom combo if I'm not mistaken. Pint of milk of one of them would probably do the trick.

Here is Michael Eavis after drinking some of the milk.

*Scratching head*  Bloody hell tommmy,that's some strange footage to stumble across! I might make that just a half a pint - just to be on the safe side.

I'd love to know how you "stumbled" across this!

Makes complete sense. Must take them a fair while though, especially if they only have one super-magnet. I dread to think how many tent pegs get accidentally left.

By my reckoning they'll be just about done by June 2013...

Perhaps 'stumble' was using a little too much licence / being lazy. Basically, I had a vague recollection of seeing footage of said tractor with electromagnet many years ago. However, as my long and short term memory have been compromised I can no longer rely on what goes on in my head (in terms of memory) to be fact! Therefore I did a search and came up with the attachment. I then thought people who love all things Glasto might be interested, so I posted it. Do you think it's time I upped my medication?  :)

Considering I'm the guy who spent hours writing a survey to allow everyone to rate each act they saw at this year's festival, I think you're safe!

That's an impressive task. A true devotee. Maybe you should consider medication too!  :)
