At what age are the Tea Ladies on Tour not funny? Are comedy Scottish characatures with elephantitis of the knee acceptable? How many times can you be asked to shuffle up to a stage to create an atmosphere without shooting the compere through the heart with a crossbow?

All these questions could be answered in Glasto's performance art (Arrrrggghhh) fields.

There were men who balanced on each other’s necks. They were rubbish, but better than Radiohead.
There was the Carnival Collective playing a samba version of Bank Robber. Nat West remained firmly secure.
There were some f**k off big Gorillas in a fenced off area. They we're entertaining, but would have been better if real and being mistreated.

So, no questions were answered. Nobody knew if this was the land of the big hat or the art terrorist. Was it acceptable to miss Mogwai in favour of watching a man blowing bubbles?

Actually, that one is a piece if piss to answer.
