Festival quotes..

[jenw]

Fraid my hubby has some brilliant quotes especially from last year.

Friday morning I was out and about with friends learning circus skills and having a great time, phoned hubby

me 'what are you up to?'

hubby 'tidying the tent, its a mess and its making me feel better'!

His mood made more sense when I found out he had sent a text to a mate back home saying 'they said it wasnt going to rain, it is raining, its not fair!'

Whiney bugger! In fairness our first year was 2007 and r**n fills us with fear! He then came out of tent and had a great time after his sulk!

Conversation overheard while waiting for the coach home 2 years ago.

1st person "I am never doing this again"

2nd person "wot? like you said after every festi we've been to in the last 4 years"

3rd person "he's into sado-masochisim, i've seen the gimp suit"

1st person barly audible over the general giggling "thats armour for larping"

I reckon I was the only person within earshot that knows what larping is, and yes, live role playing armour tends to wind up looking like a glorified gimp suit! (See Dara O'Briains' Tough Gig for what I am on about!)

last year i was in the long drop when i heard a guy next to me having a bit of a struggle with yesterdays dinner, to put it nicely.

after a minute or so of grunting he let rip the most digusting noise i have ever heard. everyone around moaned in disgust and as soon as it went quiet he just shouted "bang! and the dirt is gone", i actually p**sed myself laughing. luckily it didn't matter.

In 2005 when the great flood had subsided, the mud was super slippy.

Our catchy phrase was "Predict the slide, in 2005" especially after grabbing onto something hard in the mens loos on my umpteenth fall to the floor

My mate circa '99 circulating the stone circle amongst the usual hawkers of hash and pills with the phrase

"cock - £5"

By Sunday it was 25p.

Last year I was walking up to the Stone Circle with a New Zealander who had broken her toe just before the festival. She had a crutch to help her walk, and spotted someone coming towards her also using a crutch. She said "Hey, fellow crutchee, what you done?" and the guy pulled up his trouser to reveal a false leg, before asking her what she'd done. She sheepishly replied "Broken my toe".

That was the last time she commented on someone else's crutch.

just read all of this thread and christ is it hilarious

festivals are great for just totally random moments

one i remember from Leeds 2007

i was sitting in my tent when suddenly some guy walked past saying

"I can get any girl i want"

his friend replied

"Yeah but rape is illegal"

looking back it isn't actually that funny, but at the time i was in stitches

Not a quote as such but during Franz Ferdinand last year me and my two mates just on the edge of the pit when a guy in a mobility scooter sped past us, it was at that point we had to go for a little walk to calm ourselves down.

From 1995:

I was awoken by a bloke outside our tent (with the strongest brummie accent i have ever heard) who shouted:

"P&O Ferries..... I SAID P AND O FERRIES!"

God knows what that was all about :-)

At Reading 07 laying in my tent there was 2 guys having a debate about something or other that wasn't that important. a third guy they must have known butted in the debate with something to which one of the original 2 guys said "your opinion doesn't count, because you shit yourself"

Not quite at a festival, but last week I was at Sheffield USUS for Young Knives. When I left the toilets I heard a student pipe up "I f*cking love sheffield, it's just like miami innit"...

[doogleduck]

Not a quote, but saw a guy at Glasto one year chasing behind a plastic carier bag which was blowing along in the wind with a Racing car remote control thingy... clasic

[sisterofmercy]

Incredible. Nowhere else on the planet would you find this.
