The s*n thought they got their reportage right for Hillsborough too!

If I were Michael E, I'd give 'em a Pyramid Stage slot.....

Litter picking every morning at 6-00

I'd better not say how I'd like Mike Batt & Katie (S)Melua employed..but it involves (very) long drops

Was just about to say 'I can't wait to see the look on Stevie's face when he sees The Wombles are his support act'...oops.

The worst thing one can do at Glastonbury is to take the lazy unadventurous approach and get stuck at the Pyramid for too long during the day, since you miss out on all of the other aspects of the festival. However, sometimes a longish Pyramid can't be avoided as you do get a string of back-to-back great acts on the pyramid that just can't be missed.

Fortunately though, joke bookings like this - The Wombles - guarantee that I, for one, will have some extra time to be at other stages/venues without a worry about having missed anything worthwhile. Sometimes it's good to see them waste slots like this. But sometimes it angers me as I do worry that The Wombles booking takes the place of some other 'oldie' act like The Pretenders, The Waterboys, Jools Holland, even Dylan, or something else that would be nice to see on the pyramid in the afternoon on the 40th Anniversary instead of a bunch of muppets.

I want to see a Womble f****d at the Stone Circle around 6.00 am !

Can you imagine it , tripping up all over the place trying to pull a nice female !

[Joe0991]

Im 19 and probably what you'd consider 'young' and i know most of the wombles song as my dad keeps it on Vinyl and i love it! I'd definately go see them jam

[Sipperana]

I can't believe this thread has generated seriously dismissive comments.

If there's any chance of hearing the brilliant Hall Of The Mountain Womble played live I'll be pushing people out of the way to get there!

How can anyone not want to partake in a Pyramid stylee version of this:

The wombles of Wimbledon common are we (a line from one of their songs) as a child I didn;t know there was a Wimbledon common, so put a comma in there and always thought the line was
