Oh yes indeedy! happy days, Well the ones i can remember which isnt many. I know i had a fabulous time, i know i partied like a maniac because there are friends of mine who tell me i did and apparently they were there to see it....i have massive blocks of time i literally remember nothing of when i try to look back .
I have specific moments in time though that still burn bright and i can still recall the allmost other worldly out of body feelings of being totally mashed on those early E pills, around 89-90.
I wouldnt have missed it for the world but im sensible enough to realise i probably couldnt handle those sort of highs and the madness that ensued for the hours following and then the comedowns that came after them now im older,

I think its like every other experience at the festival, it depends on who you are talking to and where you are at the time, Im sure there are individuals in the security teams who are arseholes (altho less useful) and take the oppertunity to be thugs but id say all in all the vast majority do a really good job but its important to inform the organisers of any known abuse by their employees.....A case in point is my partner and i were out and about and a group of young security lads were walking towards us, all shaved heads and obligitory black jackets, now i couldve taken this as intimidating but instead i said "hello lads" as we walked past and they all stopped and smiled and we ended up having a chat about how the festival was going for them and for us, they were very decent blokes, Im not saying all the security are happy lads who will take time out for you but im sure a lot of atendees pre-judge them as much as the thugs amongst them pre-judge us.

Sad news indeed R.I.P

I was camped in hospitality and it was really packed in there. Every year there seems to more and more in hospitality.

Was wondering past when East 17 took to the stage last year which was 24 Carat dogshit - enough to make your toenails fall off.
But my money is on Sandi Thom to beat the worst ever Glasto performance this year with something truly suicide inducing.

Who said anything about segrigation I just wanna know where I can find some cock

Great News!

My guess is that the total is many less than 10,000.

Definately Ray Davies for us,

Sandi Thom has decided to try to be a blues singer after her last pop/folk effort sank without trace, She still sounds terrible with her whiny nasal faux americana twang, absloute second rate rubbish for any line up not just Glasto.

I was fortunate enough to see 'em at a little club in Halifax (Clarence's) back in the day. It's a very long shot, but I don't suppose anyone else here:
1. Remembers the gig
2. Remembers the club
3. Remembers 1972

This will be my 19th attendance

There are probably hundreds of thousands of U2 and Mr Wonder fans who decided to register on the off chance of nabbing a re-sale ticket salivating at the news that the deadline was increased and folks on forums such as this are saying that maybe its not gonna sell out.....any tickets left will be snapped up quicker than the blink of an eye because of the U2/Wonder announcement. The demand will be huge.

ok then smart arse, are they going to monitor the air for cigarette smoke as well, what about all the fumes from our cars? and the lorrys, are they going to ask to poor trees and hedges if they can breathe?
glastonbury does what it can and does it well, it does more than pretty much every other festival to be greener and all the other festivals are still running, as for the urinating and litter you ever been to leeds / reading? its a far worse problem there, they still have their license
-
if its dry, the grass will soak it up, if its been raining, itll be all mud n water anyway
i wonder if the cows get this much grief for weeing on the grass

ive been going to festivals for 15 years and seen it all, even someone taking a shit next to a bin,
i dont think anyone wants to be covered in piss
if they do, theyve got issues, or a fetish hahabut it happens, unfortunately
ive seen just as many girls do it as boys but sadly is the drunken yobby guys that think its hillarious to throw it
evryones opinion differs, mine is if your too deseperate to wade out of the crowd to a toilet do it in a cup and empty it into the grass where its soaked up, i dont mind it being on the bottom of my wellies, but dont want it on my body
-
And so that bottle/cup of piss whacks into a kiddie, a youngster, a pregnant woman, a person with health issues....all of who you can find in the crowd at glastonbury festival....concussion is just the start of it.....its bloody dangerous!

ive got some friends coming down who usually camp with us in a tent .
this year they are going to camp in the disabled camping area but are they allowed to take there camper on or is it tents only as like the rest of site.
thank you -
Now begins the wait to actually take the money out your account >_> Been almost a week now and they still haven't took the money, I just want to know its all sorted
-
If it was a specific year then id say 2000, the last year before the great wall went up and still for me the best line up and atmosphere ive ever felt at Glasto, it was a truely amazing year for the festival and despite the frightening amount of people who were on the farm it still gives me goosebumps just thinking back to it.

If alcohol is so bad, then why are you so eager to release other drugs to reach the same status? I agree with you, alcohol is damaging, but it's reached a point where it's engrained on the national (and international) psyche, there's no withdrawing it. To me, that means we have to be super careful about legalising/decriminalising other drugs, not that we should release all the other drugs that aren't as damaging as alcohol for the sake of not being hypocritical.I'd say the government is concerned enough with binge drinking to be scared witless from legalising any other drug. Fair enough, the drug fighting war is swept under the carpet, but then they need to deal with the people taking excessive amounts of the newly legalised drug. There's plenty of data showing the nation can't be trusted to take drugs responsibly, and the deaths from alcohol is one of them.

Standing on the old railway embankment looking towards the Other stage very early Monday morning 1998. The rain was absolutely sleeting down and the field itself was flooded, it was freezing and we had lost the tent and most of our equipment due to flooding, My pal was wallking through all this in his stocking feet as his boots had disintergrated the night before. Everything we were wearing was totally saturated and i was coming down with what turned out to be a case of the worst runs and fever i was ever going to have in my life because of the dirty water that i woke up inside the tent with when the field flooded, It really was like a war zone and i swore id never return it was horrible!
Of course i was back in 99 and the weather was fantastic and i had a great time but i will never forget that feeling of desolation and total despair at what the weekend had turned out to be.......it also really really made me appreciate my comforts and realise what a soft existance we have in this country and what a set of self obsessed whingers we can be at times.
