Last time around I saw 2 girls trying to use their shewee's in the male urinals surrounded by a bunch of lads egging them on and dribbling. Unsurprisingly the poor ladies got stage fright and fled in a hurry.

I have also seen a lady drop trow and squeeze out a Cleveland steamer next to a fence in one of the tent fields very late one night too. Nasty

I remember in 1999, wherever there was anything partially enclosed with no tents or traders, there was without fail men and women shitting in the open air. Barbaric.

Don't get this thread at all, if you need a piss go to the toilets. It really is that easy. I would hate to see some of the peoples houses on here, probably cups of piss all over the floor as they can't be arsed to get off the sofa whilst watching TV.

well, even though I'm not going to Glastonbury (this year??), this thread is mostly interesting....yes yes...

At Download, I peed in the bushes almost every time, merely because of the fact that there were only real toilets (you know, for poo-poo) and not for just a little wee. Fucking annoying. Really, really annoying.

Is this the case as Glastonbury? Or is it like Reading where they have both?

I'm confused, do you have separate facilities at home for number ones and number 2s? Us commoners just do it all in the same one. At home do you just piss on the sofa or out the window because you only have a toilet for "you know, poo-poo and not just a little wee?"

In my youth I used to attend Monsters of Rock at Donington.

I recall that one time, in a drunken stupor, waiting for Iron Maiden to come on, I took comfort in the gallon container that I had emptied of snakebite during the day.

Egged on by several people around me, I was won over by the thought of launching said container and recently deposited steaming contents into the crowd.

For reasons unkown, I thought a run up would be needed. However, this resulted in me tripping over a comatose body I hadn't spotedd and I emptied quite a bit of the contents over myself as I hit the floor.

I believe the word is Karma.

I always carry a cup in my pocket, wee in it and pour it on the floor by my own feet. 2 reasons. 1; No one around gets splashback 2; No one around knows you are doing it.

It doesn't bother me if someone is weeing near me, although LOTS of people get offended. My friends and I get into a flying V position with the weeer in the centre.

Another good one is to wear a poncho, no one is any the wiser!

It has taken a lot of festivals to figure out the best ways of weeing without being caught!

Wee in a cup, just try not to draw too much attention to yourself. You may a dirty look from the person next to you but, particularly at the barrier on the pyramid, you won't be alone.

That being said, count yourself lucky, I have IBS. This cannot be done in a cup.

True story. I am a massive Springsteen fan, huge, I was camped out at the front all day for him in 2009, I even got interviewed by that guy from newsround while I was waiting. Just after Spinal Tap I got the familiar feeling that I needed the toilet and would very seriously need the toilet within the next hour. This was unfortunate as I had been very careful about what I'd had to eat in order to avoid this situation but I figured that the crowd switch between Dizzee Rascal and Crosby Stills & Nash would be big enough for me to get back to pretty much the front, if not the barrier position I had. So I decided that I would just jump over the barrier, duck out the side, do my business and be back for CSN. This is where it all went wrong. Jumping the barrier in wellies is harder than it looks. I fell, hard, and I noticed that my watch had come off in the process. When I went to put my watch back on my wrist I noticed that my wrist was not in the shape that I was used to, in fact, my wrist had become so dislocated that it was sitting on top of my forearm. I was bundled into a 4x4 and rushed to the medical tent. A couple of x-rays later and I was told that I had not only dislocated my wrist but fractured it in a half dozen places. There wasn't much they could for me there so I would need to be sent in an ambulance to Bath, which was the on call hospital that day. Realising that I probably wouldn't make it back in time for The Boss, I made a decision that I still don't regret, I refused medical treatment (this may make it sound like I was stoically weighing the options, I was not, I was crying like a little girl. I honestly couldn't tell you whether this was down to the immense pain or because of the prospect of missing Springsteen). The doctor that was treating me told me this was incredibly stupid, he then got the consultant to tell me this was incredibly stupid, but I was not for turning. They couldn't reset my wrist so they put a cast on it as it was, which was pretty much a 'z' shape. They gave me 2 painkillers but couldn't sent me back out with any more for legal reasons. So I hung around the pyramid field eating nurofen all afternoon, saw The Boss from way way back in the crowd and went back to the medical tent after he'd finished. They then told me that they wouldn't be able to take me to hospital until the morning, so I'd have to sleep with a dislocated wrist and come back at 8. I didn't sleep much but I did meet up with my friends and asked them if, should I have to stay in hospital, they could gather up my stuff and stow it at their house until I could pick it up. So I got in an ambulance and went to Bath where they reset my wrist under anaesthetic then took another couple of x-rays and told me I probably need surgery when I got home so they'd booked me a consultation in Birmingham. I still went back to the festival for Sunday afternoon, my friends were glad I wasn't dead. I had surgery when I got home, I now have 5 pins and a metal plate in my wrist, and had to have a month off work in the bargain. I still don't regret my decision.

This.

Its a nightmare getting in and out of the crowds in the evening and once you've broken the seal, you've broken the seal. Its fine as long as you're discreet, with enough space and not pissing on other people. Some people seemingly being appalled by this is a tad ridiculous.

There's a huge difference between a living room and a field.

Done with this thread now anyhow. You can be sanctimonious amongst yourselves.

I usually pee in whatever i'm drinking from and then disguard to the side. I'm always nervous peeing into a can as the metal is a bit sharp.

Also from experience, don't hold/squeeze the bottle too hard as you can suck your tip into the bottle. Done this before and nearly needed the fire brigade to cut me out.

Bit strong isn't it? I'm sure you've pissed in a field.

There is no way, half way to through the Stones , I'm walking to the toilets.

Sorry if I caused you offence, I will be extra careful not to pour any of my urine by your feet at Glastonbury.

Yes we've all done that maybe when caught short but not with 100k people around, a urinal pretty close by. Just imagine if they were all as inconsiderate and selfish as you, you'd be standing in a piss drenched field. Like a puppy, you need your fecking nose put in your own piss.

    • Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
