Amusing Glastonbury Quotes

I remember there being a thread like this last year.

Unfortunately, I've forgotten most of mine. <_<

However...

Give us all a giggle.

Add to this thread things that you've overheard in a festival environment that might tickle our special regions.

Starter for 5;

"10 quid for a pair of wellies?? That's daylight rubbery!" - heard near Other Stage, 2007.

"Saw a funny thing in the wellie queue. A couple in front of me waiting patiently for 5 mins or so and steadily moving closer to the dish-out point, then....

Lad: "Are you needing to get wellies"?

Lady: "No"

Lad: "Oh"

Lady: "Are you needing wellies"?

Lad: "No"....

Lad: "Then why are we stood in the wellie queue"?

Lady: "I don't Know"

They left. Made me laugh for some time after."

sitting in our tent, me at one side skinning up, a mate at the other side racking out lines, in the middle, another mate *totally* sparko.

till he rises upright, like Dracula from his coffin, to shout:

'Bashi! Get that f**king tricycle out of the tent!'

to this day he doesn't remember what made him say it. oh yeah, drugs...

Can't remember what year it was, but we we wallking towards the Stone Circle about 3 in the morning, and there was a guy selling flares (the big candles, not the trousers), giving it the old "Flares, get your flares here."

My girlfriend shouted, "Lionel Blairs, get you Lionel Blairs here," as we walked past. There was silence for about 30 seconds until we heard the flares guy shout, muted by the distance, "Lionel Blairs, get your Lionel Blairs....yeh bastards."

There was a man up near the common ground café.

He had a remote control like with a telescopic aerial, like used for a remote control car.

He was following an empty Sainsburys bag, blowing in the breeze, twiddling the controls.

When the breeze would die down and the bag would stop, he'd look at the control, smack the side of it, wobble it a bit.

Then the breeze would come back, he'd nod his head, smile and head off again.

Also, he was wearing a diamond woolen tank top with nothing underneath and a pair of NHS glasses with no lenses.

"funniest thing i saw was in '98. it was the second year of mud and everywhere was covered in sh*t.

while walking from the pyramid to the other stage, we spotted a large circle of people all stood around apparently watching nothing. Of course being glastonbury, we decided to join in and see what could be so interesting. Just as we joined the group, a random passer-by strolled through the center of the group and disappeared up to their waist in a massive hole full of mud that was completely invisible to the eye. Everyone cheered, the person was pulled out, given a pringle crisp and sent on their way. and then the next person came along...

too funny."

I fell in that bloody hole, didn't get any pringles though <_<

Some bloke wandering amongst the sellers ("Hash!", "trips!","larrrrrrfing gas!" does that still go on?) at silly o'clockin the morning shouting

"Baaaaad trips! Scarrrrrrrrrrry nightmares! Three for a pound! Scare your friends, scare your neighbours, baaaaaaaaad trips..."

And someone from inside a tent shouting out "There's sh*t all over it!" in a rather alarmed voice... I dread to think.

funny after a few to much...

walking around the green fields (nearer glade) two guys walk past, obviously lost (scratching their heads, looking around holding a map - even though it was almost pitch black)

bloke1 "f**k, were are we"

bloke2 "that easy, we're deffo there" (pointing at the map)

bloke1 "where?"

bloke2 "the tipi field"

bloke1 "we past here ages ago"

bloke2 "yea, but look at all the tipi's" (absolutely no tents shaped like a tipi in sight!!)

bloke1 "wow, yea ok, we need to go that way" (pointing to the direction of LV/ tipi area)

One of mine from last year - with a big "awwwww" factor..

Something I heard/saw, on the treacherous muddy slope path near the Pyramid...

A small girl of about 8, struggling to push a pushchair full of camping equipment up the path, through foot-deep mud.

"Don't worry Mummy... I'm almost there! I've been waiting 2 years for this!"

    • Have you tried Anna von Hausswolff yet? Great singer, and she's from Gothenburg so guess she'll be extra excited to show her skills, especially after she unfortunately had to cancel her early summer dates.    Different style, but Oklou for me was the highlight of Primavera (apart from Geese), really enjoyable relaxed music.
    • A few bigger acts that did other similar festivals this year but not Truck, wouldn't be surprised to see one or two of these (if they're touring):   Reytons The Streets Blossoms Sophie-Ellis Bextor Rick Astley Scissor Sisters Dizzee Rascal   Truck on the undercard seems to rotate a lot of it every 2/3 years, expect to see some of these (if they're touring): Yard Act Sports Team Sea Girls Pale Waves Fat Dog Peace Swim Deep Courting   Hope Westside Cowboy and Radio Free Alice are booked again and get some bigger slots next year        
    • I read a reliable source saying there's not enough time to stress test and have worked through any major financial decisions between now and then.   So guarantees this budget will just be tinkering at the edges only.
    • Thanks @sisco. Looking forward to it!
    • Looking like will be bringing a 2-3 month old to Glastonbury next year
