    Every year i look at the candle powered little boats and say i'm going to buy one, despite not really having a vessel that would show it off to its best - and it wasnt even there last year so the (ahem) ship may have already sailed, so to speak 

     

    As far as I can recall, the only 'items' that I have bought from a Glastonbury non food and drink stall were those small tin candle powered boats.* I have bought many of those boats and have lost them all. They were never in my possession for very long before they went the way of the previous boats. Where they all sailed off to I know not.

     

    * - With the exception of buying some mushrooms (legally) from a stall holder one year.

    Mine has the original Lenor label long ripped off, replaced with an NYC Downlow sticker.  Bleach cleaned every morning. 

     

    So, you have a trusty Lenor bottle. I have used and then recycled in the past. Those bottles are made for the job. Filling them with detergent first is the only way that 'they' could get those bottles to us, without raising the attention of 'them'.

    I have ran out of upvotes.

     

    How did I forget the mighty Lenor bottle? The Lenor bottle beats the milk bottle any day of the week. It has to be a big Lenor bottle though. Being a big drinker there are times at a festival when one could urinate for ones country.

    I'm not opening it... 

     

    Excellent result. Don't open it. Then again, maybe you'll have to, to stop the 'not knowing' kind of a thing. I hope that you aren't fretting over it like I am.

    Add a hosepipe with a sprinkler attachment and you’re close.

    I posted in the firm belief that the meme could be tolerated by all. I apologized in case that was not the position. That said, there was a fleeting moment where I did question posting the meme. I've had a smoke and my brain's flying around the place so I kind of shot from the hip.

    I'd bet a very large sum of money that's because the person decided it wasn't worth the sh*t they were (probably) getting, rather than eBay removing it.

     

    I would bet a lot of money that you are correct in that statement.  I was 99% the way there to send a message myself. There will be people who went that extra 1%.

    I got the raging shits in 2009 late on the Saturday afternoon. On reflection, probably too much, erm sweeties, cider and spicy food. When I got to Glasto Sainsburys on the way home on Monday, my stall was like that. I had no idea one digestive tract could hold so much. I had to do a mid-sh*t flush then carry on. I have Vietnam style flashbacks about those 2-3 days. Awful. Just awful.

     

    A bit like this then;

     something like this as an eBay listing really doesn't have any worthy comeback if people rightfully tell them they're idiotic for doing this.

     

    I must confess that I have been very tempted to write to them via the ebay messaging system. In fact, I did do a draft message to them on the ebay site, but then thought 'better not'. I dislike avarice.

    Nothing new here but whoever uploads something like this as an eBay listing really doesn't have any worthy comeback if people rightfully tell them they're idiotic for doing this.

     

    I'd use a much stronger term than idiotic.

     

    So, the bar on sale on ebay is £2.01 more than you can buy it from an Oxfam shop, and then they want you to pay another £3.50 P & P on top! And all that to get a bar that they have already opened and checked. I'd call them c**ts myself.

    Make sure you save the mint for afterwards.

     

    Reminds me of the time that I got a mouthful of horrible water from the defrosting tray of a defrosted freezer, using the siphoning method. 

     

    I'm actually toying with the idea of buying one of these myself

    There's some overgrown waste ground at the rear of my garden where I might set up an irrigation system to grow a certain type of plant. I grew 7 plants there a couple of years ago and got a fine haul from them. Now somebody has given me 20 seeds to grow. If I set up the system then it would mean less trips into the almost jungle that is the unused land.

    Been going in a van since 2017 - hire it, I have zero experience otherwise. Last year I was struggling with Mrs BP to fill the water from my whopping big aqua roller into the chest high input in the van using the provided funnel. A neighbour let me use a siphon pump that he had made himself which was an absolute game changer for my back. I’ve been looking to see if there are commercial ones available and obviously there are loads! Anyone have any experience/tips before I rely too heavily on Amazon reviews?

     

    As an alternative suggestion, you could possibly think about buying an electric drill drive pump eg. like below;

    You would need to bring the pump, a cordless drill and 2 lengths of hosepipe. I only mention it because I suspect it would be a quicker operation that siphoning.

    This is a weird post but I would like to make it clear. I have not peed in my pants since I was 3 years old. It was a traumatic event at the time. 

     

    I have pissed myself twice as a fully grown adult. Both 'happenings' occurred when I was almost press ganged into driving around an OAP lady speed dealer. On both occasions I was, for a variety of reasons, unable to leave the car..

    i find the best way to fight someone like that is by sneaking up on them while theyre asleep

     

    Unfortunately i couldn't enact that plan as I had no idea that it was going to happen. I can't do violence anyway. it makes me want to throw up when I'm in its presence.

    The danger is he gets faecal impaction, and I don’t mean the Michael Douglas film. Basically overdosing Imodium can cause serious health issues, if the longdrops give you the fear then a little drop of Vicks on the nose  helps overcome the smell.

     

    I thought that it might be an unwise thing to do. Then again he's an absolute monster for drugs, so looking after himself isn't exactly a priority.

     

    I have another mate who can do Glastonbury without having a sh*t, or taking Imodium. He has his last dump in a motorway service station (he can time such things) on the way down to the festival (from Birmingham) and then releases the 'Mother Load' in another service station on the way back to Birmingham.

    To be fair, £4 is the "standard" price for a bar of Tony's, even at supermarkets. You can sometimes get them on offer at £2.50 or £3, but Oxfam probably aren't going to do that (especially not competition bars).

     

    Thanks for the added information. I don't mind as it's for charity anyway. That said, I only bought the bar to get two people off efests a Glasto ticket, so may have to leave my chocolate purchases there for the moment.

    It's those life experiences that turned me into the man I am today.  Well I say man, more a broken down husk. 

     

    My next door neighbour's ex boyfriend (a true psychopathic) once came into my house as my wife was next door seeing his girlfriend for a chat.Anyway, this deranged man came into my house and started talking about 'how us men should stick together'. I responded with the line 'I'm not a man'. You should have seen his face when I said that. Obviously I am indeed a male of the species, but I don't consider myself a 'man'. Well, not a man like him. About a month later, he ended up lifting his girlfriend (our neighbour who owns the house next door) up off the floor by her throat. Her kids came screaming and crying into us at our house. And then I was given no option other than to rush out of the front door and confront this angry martial art black belt bloke. I did manage to do that. I diverted his anger and he let her go. Then he started on me. To cut a long story short I came out of it quite well, considering. Only a few bruises and he knocked one of my teeth out. Now, if he's considered a man, I want no part of being a man.

    I spent several years being proud I could largely get through the fest without  dropping the kids off at the pool, so to speak. 

     

    My method was simply low fibre diet, ie. Burgers, chips, pizza slice, pasties etc and don't drink water. 

     

    Yes, with hindsight it wasn't good and it did explain why I was always so drunk or baked. 

     

    I once went from the Wednesday to the Sunday evening without eating. I never even drank water. it was purely alcohol and drugs. By the time Sunday evening came along I was in a terrible psychological state. It is not an action that I would advise people to take. In fact, far from it. I now realise the importance of eating at a festival, as well as taking liquids other than alcohol on board.
