  1. There should be one simple rule... "Do whatever you want as long as you don't, intentionally or not, impose it upon someone else against their will."

    That should cover it.

  2. Thinking about it further - even a decent quality inflatable chair is a dodgy proposal for Glastonbury. Ideally you'd need something Kevlar coated to take the knocks! Can't say it wouldn't feel nice though if it were possible to have one that stood a fighting chance of survival (and was theft proof to boot).

  3. Maybe so, but I've found a lot of money on the floor over the years yet I've never taken a dump on someone's head or done bad things to a cow!

    I'd say you're a lot more likely to find a tenner than see either of those things happening

  4. There's not so many accidental melting tent fires since those gas cookers became the norm for campsite cooking.

    Last century(!) when Trangias were the main style of camp cooker people used, seeing a tent melt before your eyes because the meths have dripped, you cant see the flames until too late and then sky filled with the billowing black smoke was a fairly regular occurrence. :(

    And there was exploding Scouser camped next to us at Big Ground in 97. Him and his mates had been robbing tents all Sunday afternoon, we reported them, the police finally arrived and although they couldnt do anything about the stolen goods (no proof of ownership), their heroin was taken from them. The silly scum then later found a small lump the police hadnt taken, lit the spoon in a tent that had had a cooking gas canister changed seconds earlier...kaboom! Fireball witnessed from the Stone Circle a mile south! Melting Scouser was not in a good way as he was covered in burning and melting tent.

    My campmate put him out using his big yellow sowester (Scouser's camp mates stood about screaming and not much else as he burnt!)...and was maybe just a little over rough with the beating down of the flames. :unsure: Wasnt a great deal of sympathy for the guy.

    I will say, I am not a fan of the smell of the burning plastic aka anything that can be found to go on the fire when its a warm G. Really f**ks up the throat. BUT it is a great memory smell :D

  5. Yes we where in the tent, first night and had had a copious amount of alcohol,usually sleep with purse in sleeping bag but had left it in bag next to my head, hubbys was in his wallet in his trouser pocket next to his head, took both lots......never heard a thing!! lots of people around us had money stolen/tents slashed that year. Was much more vigilant last year, think we had got a bit complacent over the years :angry:

  6. I have neither looked for nor accidentally found any money or other object worthy of note. I did lose something one Glasto. It was my mind. Very remiss given that I needed access to a part of it to enjoy the festival.

  7. Found £20 one year in the cut between the jazz world stage and the one with the toilets at the end leading to the Orange charge tent,kept that!! Daughter found a phone on the floor of a long drop in 09 handed it in to security, also in 09 we had all our cash stolen from our tent on the first night... the following day we found a wallet outside our tent ( dumped by theiving scroats ) no money in it but a driving license so handed that in to security aswell, if there was money in a wallet etc would hand it in cos I know how crap it feels to be robbed! but a note floating in the wind is a different matter :ph34r:

  8. It helps enormously to have a torch on you when going away from your tent for the evening. This means that on your return you can use it to see peoples tent guy lines. This will help you avoid ripping them out of the ground by walking through them, getting verbal from people within their tents, falling over etc.

  9. I initially thought the subject was something else also of a quaint nature. Now I know the proper meaning I am surprised that anyone else doesn't suffer from the same ailment as myself. Everything turns to slurry when I'm there. I'm always in the shitter.

  10. From the thread above I spotted this (not really worth starting a new thread)

    Has anyone else experienced having to park in West coming from Shepton Mallet? Seems strange but just need to check as i'll be driving and stopping with mates in a caravan in East, coming from Bath so theres a couple of ways but both pretty much go by Shepton Mallet.

    The last time I was at Glasto was in 2007 (shakes fist at rain clouds) and we were guided in to the West car park from Shepton Mallet.Bit too long ago for use this year possibly. but thought I'd mention it anyway just in case.
