what's the most useless thing you've bought for Glasto ?

[jenn666]

I LOVED LL Uberlist on what to pack.

Been buying several types of wet wipes and trying them all out at home ... some nutter even struck up a conversation with me in the supermarket about babies ... errr ... tried pointing out to him : they're festival-wipes , not baby-wipes , LOL

Got a new sexy tent , an old reliable sleeping bag , a torch , travel johns , zzzzzzzzz boring !!

I've been way too sensible in my packing so far , I need tips on silly useless items and I got some cash that needs spending

[HurrahBrother]

Not entierly useless, but a little frivolous.

Air freshner, one of those dangly ones for cars, but for the tent.

I'm using a pine fresh smelling 2 inch high teddybear this year!

back in the 90s loads of people used to decorate their tents with things like tinsel and lights... this seems to have gone away a bit these days... but if you have space for some silly things then tent decorations look lovely

Not all useless but - glow sticks + glitter + a wind up lantern. Little packs of tissues to carry round for bog roll. Windup radio to listen to the radio before you get up. Foot spray for those sore festie feet so you can go on dancing. Blow up parrot or crocodile.

An inflatable monkey and an inflatable jukebox (that doesn't play music) but looks cool.

[talullah]

definately glitter....and some false eyelashes

A skull on a stick. It was thrown out less than a week after getting home on the grounds that it didn't fit in with the decor and there was no room for it in our one bed flat!

I'm LOVING that blowup parrot , gonna google for one straight away !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[laid back in the sun]

a bedside table, persian rug and proper ash tray for the tent

I think the garden gnomes, white picket fencing and rose covered arbour at my campsite (consisting of half the population my local pub that I dragged along) in 2004 was the biggest extravagance!

inflatable palm tree!

Cable ties. Not at Glasto, as I haven't been yet. Cable ties, useless for anything camping related. Useful for tying up your mate who's passed out while wearing Speedos to a big wooden pole in the horrible mud though.

[Innana]

Battery powered fairly lights for decorating the tent.

Artificial plant in a pot and a crocheted doily, to put on the camping dining table, for that little touch of class.

[meesh]

I started my shopping in morrisons...................snack sized toffee crisps and a giant pack of jammy dodgers lol well they were on offer.......

[chuckley]

disposable bbq... the thing was dog crap all the way!!!!

[tazzyb]

THESE and glow sticks and glow necklaces and glow in the dark face paint. I got carried away!

[mr cambo]

Flip flops

I'm probably bringing my huge boom box and a couple of changes of batteries.

i got a self inflating mat, i thought it was amazing til i unpacked it n realised its broke so at the moment thats the most unnecessary thing ive bought, i had to stop myself buying wellibobs...ive never seen anything as ugly and i really wanted them but as ive already got two pairs of normal wellies i thought it wise to put down the mouse and stop with my hunt for stuff i'll only need for 4 days a year.
