Things to do for couples!

[markeee]

It was. Now spell hobbit correctly or you will be disgracing the name of Tolkien.

At least I'm not complaining about being ticketless anymore, these days! That must have pissed some people off, I'm sure

[tylerdurden]

I'm sure you'll find that whatever special moments you do share will be spontaneous and considered special in retrospect, as opposed to the two of you setting out to find something special and 'couple-y'. For example... Last year, me and my (now ex) girlfriend ended up leaving all of our group after they foolishly decided to watch Gorillaz and wandered up the Park together to see the XX. Pretty special it was. The Park area is beautiful of a night anyway, but cuddling together already feeling slightly spacey with all the wax candles and low stage lighting watching a perfectly suited performance onstage, just made it a really special evening. Now every time I hear an XX song, it of course reminds me of that. Now to spoil this daft romanticism by saying... Just f**king ruin each other every night when you get back to the tent as well. Have fun!

i think we're more pissed off about a a Finnish Hobbit invading glasto!

[Taija]

I genuinely thought you were joking and then looked them up on the basis of "Hmm. I wonder?" Stilettos are always a winner, just make sure you get yourself insured for accidental damage first.

Has no-one suggested the love hotel?

Planking.

[strudders]

This is going to be my last Glasto after 25 years on and off. Also my wives first Glasto.

It is going to be a very different event this year as I will not be getting trashed and doing silly mad things.

What I am intending to do is just go with the flow and take it slowly so as not to wind up my other half. I will be taking food to cook each day and trying to avoid most of the crowds ( she would not appreciate me doing sheep sounds whilst stuck in a mega crush) and just trying to show her what the festival is about and why it has been so important in both our lives (it has shaped me as a person I guess)

She is not a massive music fan but I am thinking cabaret and circus tents, green fields and mucho cider bus action. Then early nights and plenty of sleep.

I had a brilliant time, if hot, last year so my final one will be a sedate and memorable one but at least I can say she has been. I will then pass the mantle over to my 17 year old daughter (who is just sooo excited about going again first time since she was 14) to uphold the Strudders tradition of tearing up Glasto and of course..... No sleep to Monday.

Oh, I've seen that. Here my mind was trying to make it seem more dirtier. Feel a little sheepish now

[Taija]

i think you were right double planking

[camperman]

Now, that's more like it!!

[Taija]

Triple

[camperman]

Too much. I prefer the double. Best things come in pairs (see what I did there..?)

Being so inocenti wouldnt get that

[ukslim]

Serious point - be prepared so spend some time apart. If the girl wants to look at dresses and jewellery in the markets, split up for an hour. If the bloke wants to watch Battles, and the girl's going to find that boring, separate and meet up afterwards.

Apologies for the egregious gender stereotyping -- but you get what I mean.

Or then you're too busy thinking of triple planking. Either way is plausible!
