Things to avoid at glasto

[ethereal]

Chavs & chavesses (See Also: Gangs). Pretty much impossible these days then

The Sun (Not the paper the big glowy thing in the sky )

Standing directly in the line where people are coming in and out of the golden circle at the Pyramid Stage.

Avoid hogging the sinks by brushing your teeth and washing your hair at them. Fill a bottle and do it at your tent.

Flags... I hate those basterding things

Gettin the shits.

tbh i try to avoid stone circle late at night these days...there's a nice vibe there during the day and into the evening for sure...but later on it seems to just be a hang out for amateur pill heads and kids flogging aspirins....much nicer next door in flag field....

4....Avoid getting run over by Crew Land Rovers,or Poo Tractors.

Any kind of standard fast food!!!! Usually way overpriced compared to the more specialist stalls and nowhere near as nice. God knows why there are always queues for bogstandard burger vans. Are they blind?!

[Pinhead]

Yeah, they're what I call 'fairground caterers'. Got to make a living I suppose, but only so many unimaginative and underwealming Hog Roasts you can have in one place.

Agreed. There's so much good food to be had at Glasto. It can be a wonderful eating experience and a chance to try food from all over the world. There's no need to go near greasy burger vans. It's a bit like people going abroad for a holiday and then hunting down a McDonalds.

Avoid eating 5 hot dogs in one day if at all possible!

Had to make an emergency dash to the african latrines at the bottom of the stone circle. Not a great prospect in the dark ....

Turdises - unless really, really desperate. Walking behind poo trains. Camping on low lying ground. Arriving 5 minutes before the start of a gig everyone wants to see at the John Peel stage e.g. Mumford & Sons - you won't get in. The dance village. All food outlets directly around the Pyramid stage (go to West Holts or the Green Fields where the food is grrrrreat!).

I also agree with someone else's comment - make the move to Arcadia & Shangri-La BEFORE the main acts on the Pyramid & Other stages have finished (you won't miss much, trust me), the crush at midnight is not pleasant.

Most importantly, avoid being unpleasant to other people. Glasto is like a parallel universe where 99.9% of the time, everyone is nice to each other. Just like the real world.....

Drinking so much passing medics find your discomfort hilarious

A pizza stand at the back of the Other Stage, can't remember the name but its name is written in yellow on a red background. I still feel sick now thinking about it, which considering it was cheese, bread and tomato puree (probably anyway) is impressive

[phillyfaddle]

Luckily I don't trust you. If I did I'd have missed the likes of Neil Young doing Rockin' in the Free World and A Day in the Life, or Blur doing the Universal, or Flaming Lips with Do You Realize??

Shangri-La's ace but missing a once in a lifetime experience to avoid a queue is just silly, over-organisation.

[phillyfaddle]

I disagree with this. A lot of the food around the pyramid are pretty crappy, but there are some good ones. The hulloumi place is awesome. Isn't the rugby club place next to the cider bus?

[Bradders]

'Queue' fair enough. 'Dangerous crush' was my experience one night last year. If you're my height and trapped between the backs and fronts of giants you might feel a little differently! Over organisation it might be for you, but not for me, sorry. One solution, perhaps I can sit on your shoulders this year? Teehee.
