oneeye Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I honestly couldn't give a fuck because I'm happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russycarps Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Isn't this what I just said, or are you being deliberately obtuse? I'm physically quite capable of camping in the main fields; I'm happy enough to dig my own hole to shit in if I'm wild-camping; the change is a change of attitude. I don't want to spend time camped next to a bunch of thick-as-shit teenagers who are experiencing all this freedom for the first time - they are DULL! I've done it and my t-shirt fell apart years ago. I don't want to stop the babes discovering sex/drugs/rock&roll like they are the great social pioneers, but I don't want to be trying to sleep in the tent next to them as they do it. So, yes, and thanks for pointing the shining light of your wit at what I thought I had already made abundantly clear - I am now a middle-aged, middle-class snob, a traitor to my roots, and I honestly couldn't give a fuck because I'm happy. I'm fortysomething and, as we fortysomethings say, sorted. I also have a ticket for G13 and a booking at Tangerine Fields and I will have a thoroughly good time.

mrtourette Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 The festival needs his money to cover the costs of the unprofitable areas of the festival that are apparently the heart and soul of Glastonbury. Without it you dirty hippies wouldn't have anywhere to spread your peace and love so show some respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Bolivar Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 gosh it sounds like you contribute a lot to the festival! We need more people like you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russycarps Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 Indeed you do - I was the one who performed the first aid on the collapsed teeny-bopper after his caring friends left him on the path and all the other young contributors stepped over him to get to the next gig.

r0cky Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 The worst part of Glastonbury is the endless queueing to get in. If you can avoid that why not? Doesn't mean you are posh or that you're not a true Glastonbury veteran - it s just avoiding a shit part of the experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cky Posted January 25, 2013 Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) ^ Noted, and appreciate the input. So basically, for prime Pennards, or dare I say even, the elusive Dragon Fields, one needs to be in line on Tuesday night?

oneeye Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 James Bolivar; appologies for the cheap shots yesterday, sarcasm being the lowest form of wit etc....., but your post did open you up a tad for some unsympathetic banter, and having a quiet morning at work I couldn't resist. My New Year's resolution was to be more tolerant; must try harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rainbow girl Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Oh dear, oh dear. Just re-reading some of these posts in this thread, and wondering how Glastonbury ends up having such a lovely and tolerant diverse mix of people that it achieves. Re the Kids Field - been there and enjoyed it for a few years, but last year was horrified at the number of people who hijacked Cockmill Meadow with the only link to kids that they had once been one. My children are older now and I can expect them to walk a bit more on site. thank you to the lovely guy who insisted on my son Charles going on his shoulders in 2007 to watch Arcade Fire - he will only be 15 this time round but is now 6" and is a successful rugby player. But if it wasn't for you, mystery student and alround good guy who put up with someone's kid for over an hour, it might have been different. Meet y'all ina field soon x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yoghurt on a Stick Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 You read it and think 'it's only 3 months old'. If they were that great then why would you be getting rid of it so quickly. Plastic dreadlock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffie Posted March 17, 2014 Report Share Posted March 17, 2014 The guy who's trying to sell his tee-pee and has posted the same link on about 5 different threads I think. I see that post has been removed, so now understand your confusion. Neil or Scottie must have agreed with Jeffie's request. We appear to have, in actual fact I have a lot of respect for Neil, I'm not sure why we sometimes have appeared to fallout. I would hate to run this site. (Surely Neil and Jeffie didn't see eye to eye). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
