a group of Irish camped next to us. I heard them wake up Friday morning and say

 

"Oh My god the English have voted out, they are a bunch of Thick bastards"

 

my reply

 

"Only 51% of us"

Always find it mildly amusing how people confuse British with English. Usually its the Americans that have this problem but obviously the disease is closer to home as well.

Walking from the back of William's Green through to the Pyramid (just off Big Ground I think?)

The walkway went into hysterics when a little stote / weasel ran through holding it's baby in it's mouth and some guy in the crowd shouted "GET YER FRESH FERRET SANDWICHES"...hilarious at the time

We had a House of Stark flag next to our tents. At around 4am one morning a group of young lads walking past screamed 'THE NORTH REMEMBERS!!!!!" and proceeded to chant the game of thrones theme tune, dancing around our tents with the utmost joy. It was so brilliant I didn't mind being woken up so dramatically. 

We had a Stark flag next to ours and someone was screaming "Kill the white walkers" in the middle of th night aswell!

You weren't up in Dairy ground were you?

Bushy Ground, appropriately by 'the wall' 

It proved to be a very popular flag the whole weekend, and my friend who bought it doesn't even watch GoT!

Not so much overheard as saw but in Los Artistes Bohemios there was a picture someone had drew of the female nude life model and it was basically 30 odd different types of boobs (like the ones you'd see in a school jotter) Tickled us no end!

thursday night walking past the boris johnson mural
"you ruined my fucking life"

also sunday in block 9
"what kind of house music is this?

[fat_man_joe]

Following on from the GoT references. I enjoyed the traffic stewards trying (and sadly failing) to stop everyone from crossing the road, to which a crowd of people started chanting "HOLD THE DOOR!"

Emotional times.

[The Cat]

2 songs into Billy Braggs set fella turned to me and said take it he didn't want out then

[Osama Jim Laden]

Walking through Bushy Ground by the crossing near Pedestrian Gate D on the Wednesday, I heard a chap on the phone saying in an rp accent..

'dragging this trolley though the mud is just savage! Savage!'

 

Almost laughed in the poor buggers face!!

[DanBar]

Walking back to the tent after muse. My mate was walking next to me. He suddenly stops walking and says 'shit I can't see'!! To which I replied, must be some good Mandy then!

[muddychick]

Two well to do women, dressed in their finest Barbour with clean wellies coming in gate c on Friday evening asked a steward, "Which is the less muddy path to take?"

We were doubled over crying  

[alibear]

More seen, than overheard, but I saw a guy walking around with a walking stick which had a child's wellington boot taped to the bottom of it. Amusing as well as practical.

[Futurism]

I just saw this which I found rather funny..

[HalfAnIdiot]

Not overheard but seen:

A guy sat on a chair outside his tent (opposite Beat Hotel) meticlously cleaning (actually polishing) his Hunter wellies with wet-wipes during the Skepta set. The wet wipes piling up around him.

Sigh, what has Glastonbury come to?

was walking down pennard hill at about 10am on the Wednesday when I passed a young guy and 2 girls dragging their stuff up the hill trying to find a spot to pitch their tent. I can only assume they had been stuck in their car for quite a while overnight as their demeanour was not great. Just as I passed them i heard the guy say to one of the girls 'the silly bitch should not have have forgotten her f**king ticket'

I know what my reaction would have been if one of my group had realised they had forgotten their ticket as we rocked upto the gate

On the Sunday evening my better half was queuing at the loos when she overheard some young guy telling his mate he had just seen 'earth, heart and soul'

[JPixie]

Waiting to cross into Silver Hayes when some vehicle was passing and one of the crowd decided to start directing the traffic himself. The female steward said something like "Oi, I'm the one with the fucking whistle", and someone else said "It's Adele!"

Young, posh boy to his mate: "oh yah are we going to take some more MDMAmazing?"

Was walking through Pylon Ground Saturday morning when I heard a very flamboyant man saying to his female friend "I am NEVER fucking coming back here AGAIN! It's too FUCKING MUDDY!" - somehow doubt he held onto that opinion for long

In fairness the Scots and Northern Irish voted to remain...

I saw him too. Marvellous!

[JPixie]

rawrsomesauce's post reminded me of another one from our walk back to the car for the 2nd trip on Wednesday.

Enthusiastic guy to his mate dragging a trolley through the mud: Don't worry, we'll get you a motorised one for next year!

Grumpy mate: I'm not coming next year.

Made us laugh. Hopefully he changed his mind before the day was out.

Saturday at about 2pm, I was waiting in the greenpeace field for my number to come up on the shower thing - had a little lean on the fence in the sunshine, and just to my right there was a fella and his missus having a bit of a barney. Not really my business of course, but I leant over an ear to see what I could hear, and then she screamed WELL YOU'VE CLEARLY GOT SOME FÜCKING HYGIENE ISSUES THEN and stormed off, while the poor fella stood there dumbstruck for a second before following her up through the tunnel to permaculture.

Made me lol

Overheard this gem after Art Garfunkel played a particularly lovely version of Bright Eyes:

Bloke 1: "What's this from? It's from a film, right?"

Bloke 2: "Yeah, the weird animal one."

Bloke 1: "Oh, I know - it's from Bambi!"

 

Nearly pissed myself laughing.

[Purple aki squat]

Friday early morning. Girl In tent near bye, "fuck me Cameron has resigned" reply from her friend "Who's Cameron".

Bloke near bye shouted "He played for Stoke, good riddance"
