No they dont.

Unless you count one small ferris wheel and the monorail.

Glastonbury is very different to Leeds...in a good way. Much much less commercial which includes getting ripped off by fairground folk charging £5 for a go on the waltzers.

Not proper ones like those at beer festivals. I remember going to Oxegen (in Ireland - sister festival of T in the Park) in 96 and the rides were, appropriately, next to the chavvy music area. People were coming out of there with eyes like satellite dishes, walking like zombies towards the flashing lights, whereupon they'd mount said attraction and feel like they were in space.

There was definitely what we used to know at as as kids as the 'rib tickler' there last year. Its like a hexagonal box that you get into and they spin it round and round. You are sitting down on benches inside and as the box spins you think you are spinning with it when you are not. Its like an optical illusion. Great fun!

thats the mystic swing..

highly recommended to anyone who hasnt been on it before :P

that ferris wheel is one of the most petrifying things i have ever been on.. big woodn handle to stop it going round and when they do pull it the thing comes to a creaky juttery stop which makes your wee seat swing backwards and forwards :sick:

      When it comes to legacy alternative acts I hope they bring the Afghan Whigs. Those newly released songs are incredible and classic Whigs sound

      We’ve a friend  who has hens and sells eggs for two quid for six. So much tastier than supermarket ones. She has an honesty box outside her house and has now expanded into selling them to hotels and the local butchers shop. Quite a decent wee business

      Curiously a rumour has turned up that Barcelona are now interested in Rodri. So could make Real Madrid and Man City are suddenly both in need of a central midfielder.    ... Assuming this move to Arsenal for Bruno Guimaraes ends up being processed before those two may need to enter the conversation.

      I think Thunderbolts probably had one of the more interesting villains for an MCU movie. I was actually a bit creeped out by Void. I'm a massive horror movie fan, and I can't think of another time in the last couple of years where a character legit scared me like he did.    Brand New Day was a good time. A great villain choice as it played into Parker's insecurities. Castle was a strange inclusion but the dynamic between him and Parker was great. Castle must have been delighted to have someone who never seen themselves as superior to him like Murdoch pretty much always did.

      Certainly the fact Bruce had disasters at West Brom and Blackpool has hurt his chances. Maybe he'll go mentor his son now he's a manager at Rotherham.    Maybe the passive aggressive comment about Howe being "that fella who got Bournemouth relegated" also counts as it's own comment that aged very poorly.
