If I take a large amount of inflatable flamingos in a box through security will they prevent me thinking I'm an illegal trader or will they understand I just want to hand them out to spread the flamingo love?
Just contact the Glastonbury Festival admin team and explain your inspired intentions. They will let you arrange delivery of said flamingos to Worthy Farm and then you can pick up the package on site. Your idea is inspired and the festival would be enriched by such a venture. I salute you.

I've been a long time lurker and occasional poster for around last 12 years. Love catching the Glasto buzz on here and fuelling the obsession!

Glastonbury is a super stressful place where you have to constantly worry about things such as crowds, getting from A to B and remembering what your name is. As well as crowds you may well also have to put up with loud music and mud! Luckily, you can just worry about crap in the build up to the festival on these boards, nit-pick about irrelevant detail and cleanse your soul of this nonsense before you get through the gates. Once you get there you are officially required to Relax and Enjoy.
Or, alternatively, in the words of the Disney Frozen theme tune:
It's funny how some distance,
makes everything seem small.
And the fears that once controlled me, can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do,
to test the limits and break through.
No right, no wrong, no rules for me.
I'm free!Let it go, let it go.
I am one with the wind and sky.
Let it go, let it go.
You'll never see me cry.
Here I'll stand, and here I'll stay.
Let the storm rage on.... -
I want to take my missus up the Shard here in London, but haven't gotten around to it yet. Maybe I'll take her up the Ribbon Tower at Glasto instead....prob best when not many people around to keep the moment special ; )

To answer the original question, Valium.

Random nastiness. On the way in our bus driver got lost, and everyone started shouting directions at him (which he deservered), but then out of the blue someone viciously shouted "you stupid, fat, f**ing c**t!" at him, which was completely over the top and not a good start to the festival.
Was this the coach from Bath on Wednesday morning!

Oasis for next year please.

Which coach were you on? I was on the Wednesday 09:45 from Bath which got lost and I remember there being a nutter shouting abuse although I didn't quite follow what he said!

Literally buzzing now - from October to now, off the scale excitement level
me too...the perils of getting the Glasto stash in early...
-
Embrace the long-drop (not literally) as an intrinsic part of the Glasotnbury experience. For the shy and paranoid amongst us, try going between 6-8 am when there is no one around.

OK so its 6th Glasto or thereabouts and for the first time I am going to go with only a (decanted) bottle of rum. I normally take a 3l box of wine but I had an unfortunate accident with that today. i normally take a crate of beer too, but with experience I just think its too much hassle...plus I dont like warm beer. So essentially my strategy is simply to buy booze onsite, it might be more expensive, but it will be cold and convenient. Plus Glastonbury is the highlight of my year, so to hell with the $$$

Premier Inn - Bath, on Tues night. Despite living in London...coach tickets

Savagely pull an intercostal muscle.... Ouch.
At least I'm not as much of a spanner as this guy though.
You so funny...don't forget I've got your Glastonbury ticket...bitch. Pulled a muscle? Hardly surprising for you since you spend most days pulling yourself off!!!

Open your 3 litre wine box with the intent of secreting a little package in there and theb gluing it back together...but accidentally making a tiny tear in the wine pouch and not realising and red wine slowly seeping all over the window sill and down the wall ruining the paint....yes happened today. Note to self: plonker

you shouldn't have to put sunglasses on to believe that nobody is watching you. why are people watching you!?
Mainly paranoia...but strange things happen. Last year I was leaking the lizard in the urinals when I noticed a large gap between the blue tarpaulin screens. As I looked through there was a woman just stood there staring at me mid flow. Luckily I had my sunglasses on...
-
I got one, tried it out today, it started overheating and was making a high pitched piercing noise!!!! Doesn't sound normal...
-
I've enjoyed reading this thread...which worries me slightly. Luckily I've got powerful thighs and can squat in position over the long drop for as long as it takes! Once you've got the first one out of the way you're fine. For anyone shy, just put sunglasses on and pretend no one can see you.

Quality!

The last two times it has been the final moments of Sunday night / Monday morning just before retiring to my tent for the last time. As night ends and a new day starts I have overlooked the festival with completely blurry vision and eye wobbles (!) and seen the myriad of lights dancing before me like a constellation of stars. I stood there for a good half hour reflecting on all the magic of the last 5 days and reconciling myself to the end of another great festival!
...that and the buzz you get once you get inside on arrival
-
0945 Bath on Weds for me
Anyone know what time this coach arrives at the festival?
-
A man and a woman lying against the side of one of the big tents at around 4am, so completely pilled up that they were miaowing at each other like cats and pawing at each others faces with their eyes rolling and jaws gurning all over the place. Was just really weird at the time. 2002 I think!

OK so we all know that your choice of footwear is important...BUT,,,if you are used to walking long distances for an extended period of time you will doubtless be OK, but if you don't move much generally and suddenly try walking around all day for several days...you are going to be fecked whatever you've got on your feet!
Is it worth arriving on Tuesday night?

Did it in 2014. Spent the night in the queue drinking half a crate of Stella and getting stuck into my stash. Didn't sleep a wink and felt like death in the morning. Walk of death to camspite and could barely put my tent up! Never again!
