I dont think the 180,000 in front of the pyramid stage when "The Bluntster" was on would agree with you?

You need a comma after the first use of 'thread', your use of the word 'seeing' is redundant and you have an erroneous apostrophe in the word 'it's'. Do you want me to go on? If you're going to be a clever tw*t, it definitely pays to know what you're talking about. And you clearly dont.

[The Shings]

Even though the whole festival doesn't hold that many people?

Could do better

Offending?

Please elaborate.....

Liking James Blunt cannot be considered as offensive...

I believe a You is needed in front of that sentence, Rufus. ; )

[The Shings]

As you insist, I seem to remember some rather silly "straights at Glasto" type threads, and you seemed to have it in for veggies too. All water under the bridge; but you did ask me to elaborate.

You'll find that it does.....

Shouldnt we be able to talk about whatever we like, i mean i would understand if we were all talking about football or cars, but we're talking about :

> Music

> Glastonbury

> Having a good time

> General questions which people need the answer too

> The Weather

> How excited we are..

etc.

177,500 is the total capacity of the festival.

the pyramid field holds 90,000 at full capacity.

and james blunt is a soulless imitation of pop music (but that's just my opinion, the figures are facts).

If you're suggesting that it should have an apostrophe, I'd suggest that to be wrong. 'Dont' without an apostrophe is accepted common usage. Indeed, to include the apostrophe could be seen as an antiquated form.

When did everyone suddenly become qualified English teachers???

[FunkyDenz]

I missed Jame Blunt's performance, because I was watching the Courteeners in the John Peel Tent. The Tent was pretty crowded too.

I knew I'd make a mistake somewhere and that some pedant would pull me up on it, but I can't help feeling that the point has been missed. I'm not expecting people to turn into grammar/spelling nazis I'm just asking for a basic level of competence in the English language so we can all read each other's posts easily enough.

Oh, and the apostrophe in "it's" is posessive. The users belong to the forum.

Has that ever been tested?? I am not having a go at your figures btw. Just wondering how they can come to such a figure..
