Flag Love

The 1 <3 sausages flag from shangri la was at blur on sunday.

I also really liked the one that looked like the peace flag with the rainbow, but just said PACE

But I hate flags at stages with a passion.

I think the festival should not ban them (that would be silly) but just discourage people from taking them to stages.

I don't mind the odd one or two but there were too many this year. anyway that is digressing the ones i liked were

I heart sausages, which was quite near me at madness (i think)

The Phillip Schofield one

and the Peckham/Kilburn One - I tried to find them after I saw them ahead of me (again I think at Madness) but they must have collapsed it as I couldn't find them and wanted to meet others from Kilburn

The inflatable donkey, having a little dance to Rolf Harris and later seen at Quo and Madness. That donkey had taste.

The surfer dude also seemed to have similar taste.

The pigeon on a stick that managed to get between the camera an N.E.R.D, wrong, but amusing.

Although I take peoples point about the flags. At 5 ft 2 I never have and never will see the stage, so it's quite nice to have something to look at other than the sweaty back of the bloke in front. No offence to blokes with sweaty backs it's not your fault I'm a short-arse :D

Saw the same two hot blondes several times throughout the weekend carrying a small wooden sign with 'YEASTY CLUNGE' on it. Completey outdone by the 20 ft flag at the front of the Prodigy crowd with CLUNGE on it. Even picked it out on the tv highlights. Awesome.

A bloke next to me before Madness was waving his flag manically. It was then I came up the idea of a flag next year. I actually stopped him to tell him, and he seemed offended.

The plan is a massive pole with a net on the end, and a flag of Michael Jackson saying the phrase "Fishing for kids", and you dip it into the crowd now and again.

It was funny in my head, and a crowd mover :)

I liked the small appreciation for Madness saying "Madness for a f**king Brit". To the point and acknowledged by Suggs on stage. It was also a nice size banner and didn't ruin anyones view. I still think flags should be kept away from the stages. Selfish TOSSERS looking to see themselves on TV for nano-second :lol:

Did any Flight of the Conchords Fans spot the Jemaine flag? It was Orange, and said "Glastonbury 2009 *picture of Jemaine* It's Business Time"

Amazing!

Also, I spotted a flag with Purple Aki on it (A Merseyside Urban Myth?)...which was weird but funny.

And the Godfather flag with Michael Eavis was amazing!

The people camped next to us had a big flag with a stork carrying a baby which said "It's a girl!". Bit random.

However, on Friday morning when we got a text from our mate who couldn't come this year, telling us that his wife had just given birth to a baby girl, we were able to text him back a photo of us all giving him a big thumbs up under a totally relevant flag. Not sure how long we'll let him believe we planned it (and carried an "It's a boy!" version to cover the other possibility).

    • Not necessarily but it should be, Download have a habit of messing it uo when others get the bookings on point. Good Charlotte I doubt are playing 3rd down and that too 3 that day while dreamy is too strong. I think you'd have one another day to help sell weekend tickets. I also doubt Papa Roach play.
