We love hippies

[ukslim]

I really do love the hippies at Glastonbury, but there's usually something that makes me smirk.

For example, one of the eco-warrior signs that had been put up along the railway track said:

BAN ILLEGAL WHALING

Makes you want to tousle the little scamps' hair.

Anyone else see something that made you smile?

If you ban something that is already Illegal does that mean you want legal whaling......

aaah, now I see....

shuffles off into the corner, slippers rolled down at the back, holes in cardigan, chewing knuckles, "snort"

Hippies are awful I cant stand them.

Especially middle class university-know-it-all-hippies with dreadlocks.

Discraceful.

[spikytom]

but surely they're not 'real' hippies... they're just tw*ts!

My friend thinks he is/ tries to be a hippy.

Everytime we have a conversation he insists on ending it with "Peace and love".

It really f**ks me off, not that he is "Hippy", fair play, but the peace and love bit. Yes we get it! Your a hippy! Now f**k off!

Although I can't wait to spend time with him at Glasto. He's going to love it!

[strudders]

Right when did this start to be a hippie bashing thread.....

Lots of my mates are hippies and I am not far off apart from the carnivorous nature and my hate of lentils and other pulses and my complete inability to grow long hair......

Hippies have a part to play in life just as much as everybody else....

Learn to love the Hippies, after all, who is going to accept you into there strange tent when your off your box, offer you a drink of tea and look after you until you can feel your legs again and have stopped chewing your face off when you are at Glasto! Not the bloody Charge and Chill tent that's for sure!

Mate I'm not bashing hippies, if that's the way you want to live your life then that's fine. I love the fact that your happy living in that way.

I was only commenting on how my friend tries to act hippie and fails at it miserably because everytime he makes contradictory statements that make him look like a hypocritical twat. That is what f**ks me off, not because he is one he just attempts to be one in a lame way.

I love hippies and I love the way they live, but I know I wouldn't be able to live in that way because I will contradict myself every day even if I don't know i've done it and it's about time my friends realises this and before you say, I can't tell him he is, He is very big and has anger problems and would pummel me to death if I did so. So I'm letting him learn by himself.

There was just a tad of humour in my post, and did not once think you were really bashing hippes..

Cos if you did!

Take him to the green fields and the healing fields after dark and he will then be able to explore his true feelings.

I would suggest the tent with the human powered PA as a start, There he can have tea served by Miss Transgender 1978 who is just one of the best people at Glastonbury bar none. She serves the best tea and cake anywhere.

Then like some North American Cult they will absorb him and three days later you will be able to pick him up a better person and resolved of his anger issues....

However if I see the blue lights and an almighty ruck then I guess he got the wrong idea of "Lets hang out together" either that or it was very cold....

[strudders]

Yes, I never wanted that.

Glastonbury would be a poorer place without them.

No more funny Glasto hippy sights? Near "BAN ILLEGAL WHALING" was "EXECUTE JET SKIERS". Peace and love!

[BlackHole2006]

Ussualy I ignore you, but serious blackhole? why don't you take a leaf out of your own book and "f**k off?" Whats wrong with peace and love? Jesus chirst you have issues..

*Breaths.*

[ukslim]

just concentrate on "Being".

Mate it would help if you read the rest of the thread before you make presumtions and argue with me

There is deffo space in our land for hippies - not quite sure what the definition of the term in todays society is anyway, but mine is quite stereotypical - the peace loving, vegetarian, tipi living, slightly unwashed, long hair scruffy variety - who embrace a simple life! I guess Neil off the Young Ones springs to mind, and I applaud anyone who can embrace that life style. I'd like to think I could do it - but love my soaps and steak too much.

I do needlessly get pissed off by the plastic, weekend, fake dreadlock wearing, Waitrose shopping, trustafarian 'hippies' that pop up at Glasters and other such events. Dunno why, but they do my head in.

[BlackHole2006]

I had quoted it, put add reply got carried away with looking for somthing on itunes then replyed, my mistake. Aplogies.. Peace and love?

[strudders]

Remember, if you're not a human doing you're just a human being. Man.

NEIL: [picks up a large bag of seed packets] OK, I've plowed this bit, right. And now I'm going to sow it. [throws packets of seed down] This self-sufficiency thing really is amazing. We sow the seed, right. Nature grows the seed, and then, we eat the seed. And then, after that, we sow the seed, nature grows the seed, and then, we eat the seed. And then, after that again, we sow the seed, nature grows the seed....

RICK: Oh, shut up, Neil! Shut up! Shut up. It's pathetic. I mean, what about radical magazines? What about Kicker boots?! Can we grow them? No, we can't, can we?! They beauty of your plan, Neil, seems to rest on everyone being really into seeds.

NEIL: No no no, Rick. You don't understand the timeless wonder of the whole thing. We. Sow the seed! Nature grows the seed. We eat the seed. And then....

[Rick clobbers Neil with a shovel. Neil collapses, unmoving.]

RICK: All right. Now, shut up. [pause] Come on, get up Neil, there's a lot of work to be done. Neil? Neil?! [bends over, feels the body] Oh, God! Oh, God, I've killed a hippie! I've killed a hippie, and now I'll have to pay. Oh, God. Vyvyan's bound to tell on me, and I'll get sent to prison and raped in the shower by Mr. Big who's in with the warders. Oh! Burn the corpse! Burn the corpse.
