Mud-monsters

[Ian_Mackay]

Only saw one mud monster this year.. a very starey-eyed chap in the dance area on Saturday night. Bizarrely carrying a suitcase.

In 2005/07/09 they were a very common sight; I remember every time I walked past one thinking "don't hug me don't hug me don't hug me"... And although towards the end of this year it did dry up (as in 2009) there was still plenty of mud around for anyone fancying a nice dive into it. Not many takers though.

Wonder why that was - anyone have any conflicting observations?

I saw 2 lads having a mud fight on the Thursday afternoon...quite a crowd gathered as there wasn't much else on

[Spindles]

This was something I noticed also.

"Thank feck for that", thought I, "no idiotic 'look at me' types trying to get their photo taken in the least original manner known to man".

To be fair, everyone looked so sullen on Friday that any thoughts of playing in the mud were clearly over-ridden by thoughts of how long it is going to take to get to john peel, etc...

Almost without exception I saw mud up to the occasional knee and no further, which was nice, mud stopped being funny officially in 1998, at every point then it has just been a pain in the arse.

On the hill above the park during radiohead, whilst people weren't rolling around, there were a good few people diving down the very muddy slope.

thanks for posting. yeah I was there for that too. I was feeling like crap that afternoon and it really turned my spirits round. My glastonbury moment of 2011.

Whilst I would never do that, it looks like amazing fun! Probably more so than Radiohead

[FluffyFairy]

Wish I had sat on the hill now instead of being squashed in The Park

It's on my "list of stuff to do before I die" to do some mud diving etc - maybe naked mud wrestling with some hippy girls . Wimped out this year because I had other things on my mind .

I really wanted the bloke who kept doing it in the video to break his leg.

Stop milking it son and get a girlfriend...

Was hoping the bird that jumped in was gonna lose her dress and get naked. Then maybe touch herself in front of the cheering crowd.

I saw some idiot up at the stone circle showing off in the mud. Wasn't in the least bit funny until he did a spectacular swallow dive on to what he thought was nice soft mud but only succeeded in using his face to come to an abrupt halt!

However hard he tried to hide the pain you could see somewhat satisfyingly just how much it hurt!! :-)

I can't help it but my internal Schadenfreudometer has just blown up having read that.
