Ah, so you'll be seeing a cracked jaw as 'doing you good' when you find someone that doesn't appreciate you knocking their mates down.
I'm (not that, on reflection, actually) surprised at the number that are happy to escalate clumsiness to intentional assault.
The former is unthoughtful and rude, the latter we're into the lower realms of criminal records and 'chav scum' to my mind.

If you go to the front it's what you get
Barging past elsewhere is different. My tactic is politely ask them not to then if they are rude in response give them a shove (if muddy) or follow and 'accidentally' whack them in the back of their knee with my bag. It is amazing how quickly they crumble to the ground!
I do think that there is a problem with spoilt middle class kids who have no responsibility or maturity cos mummy and daddy take care of everything for them. A weekend away with their teeny friends and they think it's all about them cos at home it is. Challenge them, swear and shove back - a bit of grit in their lives will do them good.

Had a great festival, Monday while packing up our bags were stolen from right next to our tent. A few hundred quids load of stuff. I really don't fancy coming back has left a very bad taste in my mouth.
The people a few tents away had there stuff taken, and a bit later some one from the Iona community brought back here keys and some of her cloths in a plastic bag, he thought he was beeing nice.....wtf Scum of the earth

In 2013 they should ban 13-18 year kids and test what difference it makes to general twatishness.
Or at least ban 13-18 yo not accompanied by adults over 25
Teens have reading Leeds etc to be c**ts in

Yep, regardless of their background, any death at Glastonbury is one death too many
-
Me neither but then they are a bit stinky, so wouldn't recommend it.
'welly sucking mud' maybe explains all those guys diving face down into it. Poor guys, must be the closest they get...

Completely mis- read this as 'Tory found dead in PORTILLO
Now that wouldn't surprise me
-
Hate to admit it but I enjoyed U2
Am now sitting in a sunny garden in comfy lounger, beer in one side, girlfriend on the other, clean, welly-less and happy
-
we come down in my converted coach but we have camped before with the excellent toilets and poshwash showers its been excellent i even use the poshwash showers now they are better than the one i have in my coach.
the only down side is the stubble!

Had a terrible night - clean and in a comfy bed!!!
Missing it hugely - we are already planning 2013 :
- will save like mad to get a camper van so I can go even if a bit icky
- we are discussing what special thing we will both do - I intend to go naked for the whole thing unless it's blisteringly sunny - did it a bit the first tine I went with my girlfriend but she was a bit embarrassed so stopped - she agrees now she was wrong - so it'll be just me in the raw, other than my trusty wellies of course
- girlfriend is considering her options ...
-
Thanks. Going on Thursday for Jools -seen his band a few times - always a good time
-
Have got tickets for one evening.
Is it easy to find and park ?
Is the food okay?
Can you take your own alcohol if in plastic?
Will we need wellies?
Questions questions questions

Have been ill since last weekend so we have sold out to neighbours who look a bit like us- tickets tent and all. As it's a re-occurrence of a previous condition I knew I couldn't take a chance. GUTTED! And no glasto next year.
Girlfriend has stayed behind bless her. She's hosed down our waterproofs and wellies so we can dress up to watch it on TV! Considered no flushing the bog for the weekend to get the full glasto feel, but got over ruled.

I don't care - got welly boots, thick socks and poncho
Ain't I gonna look silly in the sunshine !

I have a friend who works for Festival Medical Services. Each year there's one dominent problem. One year after the big rain the skies cleared leaving glorious sunshine but mud. Their biggest problem that year was dealing with wellie rash - a problem caused because people were wearing shorts because it was warm but wellies because it was still muddy. Where the top of the wellies rubbed against bare skin wellie rash developed.
Stick to walking boots.
-
Best buy ever was a large roll of gaffer tape. Now in it's sixth year it has rescued dodgy trolleys, holey tents, flapping space sheets, laceless boots, broken chairs, leaky wellies and the broken back of a mobe phone.
Oh, and gave my gf some interesting ideas...
-
As long as your tent ain't flooded, you don't fall arse over tit or dive into it and your wellies fit, a bit if rain and mud shouldn't spoil anything
-
A light weight poncho is good for heavy persistant rain. Best for keeping the worst out. I have one in addition to my waterproof.
Lots of spare socks. Wet feet = misery.
As has been said - take your wellies off and air your feet when you can.
Don't dive into your tent to get out of the rain - stop and strip your top layer off first - you'll bring in more wet than those few seconds extra in the rain
Dont walk through deep puddles unless you have to - mates have twisted ankles and also had their foot sink in much further than they expected - a welly full of gloop is funny for a moment but nit much beyond
I dont think it will be that bad. If it is my gf and are considering splitting our separate tents into a day/undressing tent and a dry clothes/sleeping one
-
My girlfriend and I have been going to festivals since we met although we only do Glastonbury now. Our tips :
- we spend some time apart in the days before we go. Even though we live together Glastonbury can be full on, so a bit of space before helps.
- we take it in turns to be in charge the night before - it eases packing tensions when one of us is in control and that control continues into our pre- festy sex! Helps us sleep as well
- we plan to make sure we get some time for just the two of us - we tend to just mooch, find somewhere to sit and watch the world go by, comment on what people wear and try to guess the relationships
- each year find a spot, a person and a thing that sums up our experience that year

PS girlfriends mum suggests Aigle wellies or muckboots if you can get them and want to invest. She is not sure if hunters are still made in the far east, if they are they are over priced
-
Love my hunters too - dont care wot anyone thinks, I can wear them all day without any rubbing etc. They are a few years old now and get better and better. Avoid the ones made in china if you can though.
-
Thin layers cos I usually get cold them too hot then cold again
Loads of socks
Wellies/boots that fit
Spare towel if you can
Kitchen towel
Thriving gits on monday
