First time at leeds.

[stephen07]

V isnt great tbh for stuff like that its basically if you meet new people they plan to rob you

[Tommy Tippy]

At Leeds u meet new people but instead of robbing u they burn ur stuff.

If your unlucky.

[stephen07]

Coolio. i was planning on leaving my tesco value tents there and i don't have much stuff to take with me...apart from beer and i'm sure it doesn't burn, jackpot!

[Tommy Tippy]

If it dont get burnt on the sunday night blow it up on the monday morning, my bro does each year.

Me im still using my eurohike after 5 years , ill defend it like my castle.

[stephen07]

Hahaha good man. I've got a 9man tent i've been using at fests since 2000, it's on it's last legs so i'm retireing it this year before leeds (Newquay 2009 is its last trip)

How do you blow stuff up??

[mandypants]

Pillows and gas canisters.

Easy set fire to the pillows in the tent and stick a gas canister in it, a few minutes later no tent left.

I dont condone this sort of behevior but it is funny.

[Tommy Tippy]

If that happens near us i've got my tins of beans and a frying pan at the ready.

Not so funny when a tent is ready to blow right near you and your stuff, thought I was gonna lose everything when the stewards discovered a tent like that very near us

[mandypants]

No, its not funny mate. Try going down to the welfare tent and telling those with first degree burns exactly how funny it is.

I'm all for having a laugh at festivals and theres nothing I like more than meeting people with shared interests, having a laugh and a few tinnies and watching music but I draw the line at exploding gas canisters.

[Tommy Tippy]

like i said, if it happens near me the people doing it are going to find out how painful a can of beans and a frying pan to the head can be! (obviously i'm not going to do that but some stren colourful words will be shouted)

what i've never understood is, why don't people challenge the bellends? they generally are just ridiculous prats but people either stand and let them get away with their antics while looking at each other hoping someone will step in, or clear out. given they're such a small percentage of the campsite, they should be easy to stop but somehow aren't. it's a weird one.

same here. i've spent a couple of sunday nights sleeping in the samaritans marquee to get myself the hell out of the way. but all it would take would be enough of a mass of people telling them to grow up and stop being fannies to take the wind out of their sails. that's what seems to happen and work everywhere else when someone gets a bit reckless for others' safety.

Twat

[Flasher]

I never burn anything other than wood, i told u its my brother and his mate who do the burning.

I just leave them to it, and when they blow thier tents up its on the monday morning when the field is just about empty.

[yorkshirexlass]

yeah last year it all kicked off when i got back from seeing the killers on the sunday, the warden people was everywhere and i would hate to have had to go to sleep that night. we left around 2am to stop and seirous injurys happening and to beat the morning rush, the walk back to the car at that time was amazing, everyone was awake and everyone was having a good time. there was only one explosion i saw (i was camped in blue over looking red on the hill) the explosion happend in red on the hill, you could hear a lot of people saying 'oooooooo' when it went up and i think that scared anyone else who was wanting to do it. if your wanting to put tents on fire i suggest dismanteling them. there is no need for it really, the charity option is music better. this year we have decided on yellow.

see you there!

[xxtinkerbellxx]

I was considering buying a ticket today but think ive been a bit put off now! I dont like the idea of people setting fire to my tent

[Dropkick Murphy]

People don't set fire to your tent. Some idiots decide to make big 'bonfires' and sometimes they get close to tents and need to move. These big fires normally start in clearings, so just make sure you camp within a dense area of tents, as it were.

[scottt]

Its not as bad as it sounds.

If you take nothing that you mind about getting destroyed, nothing will go wrong.

There are nobs who start fires and they can quite easly be avoided by not going near them. If you do that, youll be fine.

After all, its only really on the Sunday, so who wants to sleep on the last night anyway!

[xxtinkerbellxx]

Got a ticket now wooop
