  1. Hi Everybody, Still missing you all and the mud :)

    Has anybody taken a toilet tent and there own loo? and if so where did you dispose of the bags of s--t.

    The body has just got over GF11, but the mind is still there. :D

  2. but a sky lantern doesn't need to be faulty to not know where it might go.. it's actually designed to fly off for an unknown time and distance

    your examples don't make a lot of sense to be honest

  3. Geez, all these posts and arguments to basically define the word "accident"

    Is all down to chance, out of the thousands thrown very few will cause accidents... the same applies for fireworks.

    So if during Coldplay a faulty firework landed and exploded in the crowd does this warrant banning them forever?

    Can you control a firework after you lit it if its faulty? no, same logic applies.

    Yes, they can potentially kill people, animals and cause a lot of damage... but what doesnt? water does, lets ban water! electricity can cause fires too, lets ban that!

    Is an accident, s*** happens, get over it and enjoy the pretty lights.

  4. This has probably already been said, but some of the biggest idiots of the week had to be all the Beyonce fans, who were clearly unprepared for Glastonbury.

    Now, dont get me wrong, I though she was amazing but I noticed a lot of females this year who had clearly never been to a festival before and were certainly not prepared for a muddy Glasto.

    Like someone posted above, flight cases with wheels, designer shoes/clothes ect. Basically looking like they had packed for a hotel.

    The amusement did come Monday morning though, seeing them all again at the coach park aha.

  5. I'd slip a couple of pills in her tea, if she gets even more angry afterwards then split up, if she loves it then you, her and a bag of pills will be coming to 2013 :)

    There is no way I'd go out with a girl who wouldnt enjoy Glastonbury, to me is the most special 5 days of the year, I certainly would enjoy it more with a partner that loves it too.

  6. My mate who is 26 but looks like 12 could not get near a bar, haha, I had to buy for him a few times.

    But worked out really well for him because every time he wanted a drink he'd just give his g/f the cash and she had to go get them, lol, so in a way Glasto forced his g/f to get all his drinks all weekend, trust me, he wasnt too upset with this at all.

  7. OK, assign it to the wristband somehow?

    Next time I am very tempted to take a trolley purely for taking like 10 tents home with me... this year I saw this incredible tent left abandoned, easily for 9+ people... I was going to take it apart and bring it with me but the lovely people who were in it decided to use one of the rooms in there as a toilet, it was literally covered in shit and piss, ironically the portaloos were less than a minutes walk, hell, they were 30 seconds at most.

    Went online and cheapest tent like it I seen so far was £600+... what a waste.

  8. Give the option to pay a bit extra to get there earlier? e.g Tuesday/Wednesday £220, Thursday £175, Friday £150?

    Would mean site would get filled up progressively rather than having everyone arriving Wednesday morning? in a group of 4 that is a massive saving if you arrive on Friday, wont stop me arriving on Wednesday though but might put some people off specially if they are a bit skint.

    Also, the tickets have a bar code on it, I think next time they should sort of assign tents to tickets when you get in, so when you walk in with a tent, you give them your ticket and they flag you in the system that you have a tent (e.g scan your ticket as they do now for fake ones but have a Tent/No Tent database) so is not going to take that much longer at all to flag your tent/ticket.... on the Monday on the way out they should have a scanner for your ticket, if it shows you came with a tent but dont have it with you then you either pay a fine or go back get your damn tent, obviously if you have a massive tent for 8+ people then just 1 person in the group gets flagged and is therefore responsible for it.

    Would probably cause more queuing but I am happy to queue knowing people are taking their crap with them.

  9. SoCalMusicLover, may I suggest a psychiatrist?

    Yes, Glastonbury was actually set up as a way to steal from you, all of us were in it.... ruining your holiday experience is 200+k people's highlight of the year! the bands were all in on it as well, even the people selling ice cream and frozen yoghurt!

    Hell, even the people at Heathrow were spying on you since you arrived, that X-ray machine wasnt to check for bombs or guns, was to check how much money and valuables you were bringing, didnt you recognise the guy at immigration desk was the same guy selling burgers in one of the stalls?

    Our plans of stealing and ruining your holiday experience almost came to a halt when we realised the amazing security measures you took by having a pad lock on your tent though! we almost called the festival off on Wednesday night as we could not figured it out, but one of the Wu Tang members recalled his old school days and suggested cutting it open! so we immediately raise his % of the stolen money! he got a wooping 0.1% of a penny!

    Please come back again soon, this time instead of putting a lockpad outside your tent can you just get a massive neon arrow pointing at your tent? would help us out massively.

    Cheers!

  10. Waiting for Coldplay to come on at the front... 2 early 20's guys just pushed their way in and were obviously wasted, one of them started talking to my mate:

    Random: "Oh man this is amazing, you seen U2 before?"

    Mate: "Not really, hate them"

    Random: "But they are coming on mate!"

    Mate: "Coldplay is coming on U2 was yesterday"

    Both Randoms to eachother: "OH f**k IS SATURDAY? WE MISSED THEM!"

    Everyone that heard was laughing...

  11. Think we left around 1:00pm on Monday and there was a bit of traffic to get out but it took less than 30 mins.

    Think is down to luck, worse year for me was in 2000, took over 6 hrs to leave, from 9:00am to 3:00pm we didnt move more than 20 feet.

  12. Its more to do with the fact that people buy tents so cheaply, they're a pile of crap and they never go camping at other time. If you're never going to use a tent again and its not worth anything then most people won't see the point of taking it home no matter what messages are on the big screen. The only way to change some peoples attitude is an incentive. Obviously those who use their tents regularly value them so will always take them home.

  13. Everyone is different but I've gotten rid of a cold in a day several times.

    All I do is take like 4 aspirins go to bed and wrap up as warm as you can and do not take the covers off or leave the bed for ages, just sweat it all out.... as soon as you notice the aspirin is wearing off then take more.

    With a bit of luck you should be fine for tommorrow, worse case scenario just stay in your tent Wed/Thurs taking it easy and hopefully you'll be better by Fri-Sun.

    Good luck

  14. This will be my 5th Glasto, first time was back in 2000 when I was like 18/19, but cant remember how or why I went, it was my first festival ever, which means every other festival since has never been as good, at the time I wasnt aware of how massive the festival was and how many areas it had, I honestly thought was just Pyramid Stage, Other stage and dance tent, nothing else.

    Took me until the 3rd year to understand how special it really is, 2nd year I spent the whole time so wasted I wasnt aware of where I was most of the time, lol, 3rd year was funny as i went with 2 Glasto virgins and they seemed more aware of where things were than me, haha

  15. First time I saw them they were opening for Green Day and I really liked them and got into them afterwards... but...

    About 2 years ago I saw them live at their own gig and I was soooooooooooooooooooooo dissapointed... they were only playing slow balads... was extremely boring, I hope they play some of their more upbeat stuff at Glasto.

  16. I think they should make it an event....

    They should build stands overlooking the poo-pit here then use cranes or something to dip them in there when is full of shit... feet in first... upside down is a bit harsh and doesnt even cover them lol.

    Also have one of those entretainers from the circus bit to interview them and humilliate them... then dip them as they are interviewing another... hahaha... that'd be so funny, I could sit there to have a smoke and have a beer, the smell would be a bit gross but not as what the thieves would have to experience... instead of releasing them afterwards they should spend a night in an outside prison so people passing by can insult them, if they insult back or say anything a tank full of urine above them gets released and they get covered in it.

    Oh... also have a set of bins in the prison and force them to keep it clean, basically.... people can throw stuff at them all night long and they'd have to pick it up and put it in the right bin, haha, way more interesting than finding a bin.

    hehe :)

  17. Not my favourite band or song... but when Travis sung "Why does it always rain on me" in 2000 and it started raining in that exact moment after it had been sunny the whole day.

    That was so surreal

  18. Can't imagine what would have to happen for me to change my mind.

    Headlines got nothing to do with it is the whole place that is so magical, no other festival has it... could be the worse line up ever but you will have a better time than at a festival with 20+ bands you want to see.
