Funny things you overheard 2013

[pie_and_a_pint]

A couple of amusing overheards this time round:

Saturday afternoon, near John Peel. Two young girls:

Girl one: So, we need to go to A Cow Stick now

Girl two: It's not A Cow Stick, it's Acoustic!

Girl one: (genuinely shocked) OH! IS IT? (Long pause) What does that mean, then?

Girl two: It, like, means, like, er, without music

2am this morning, en route to the East Car Parks, two blokes, one of whom was ginger and has presumably suffered from the sun in the way that only we gingers can:

Bloke one: I feel like I've been given an all-over Chinese burn

Bloke two: ALL over?

Bloke one: Well, not all. Me knob's not burnt. Or me arse.

'There comes a time when you just have to tell your sphincter NO! I only want a wee!'

[Ruwise]

Not overheard but at Chic somebody typed out a text message and held it up to his friend I was shocked to read it said What is this??

The very young brummie girls in Row Mead made my festival. One brought plug in hair straighteners.

Best was Thursday morning's "can you die from breathing BBQ smoke?" comment. They debated it for a good ten minutes, before collectively screaming, and hurling the thing into a hedge.

Two middle aged guys walking through Cockmill at 6am Sunday morning...

"I guess we should get some sleep"

"Sounds like a plan"

"What day is it?"

"Erm, Sunday I think"

"You sure? Already?"

Two girls in early twenties waiting for the Stones. One turned to the other and said "I don't know what all the fuss is about, the only song I know of theirs is Moves Like Jagger".

Brilliant.

Walking through the snow in the Greenpeace arctic place (from a young but still grown up person):

"I wonder what snow's made of?"

[SonOfTroyMcClure]

wasn't even funny then only mildly amusing. now just the mention of the name Alan for at least a few days after Glastonbury makes me want to hit people single most annoying thing from my weekend although some Irish people seemed to try to change it to Geoffrey seemed funnier or maybe I was drunk was before the stones

After Chic launched into their umpteenth number one hit, my mate dryly observed ''Ah they're just showing off now!''

We were walking away after Francois and the Atlas Mountains next to a elderly lady, probably in her sixties at least who turned to her younger companion and said "that was nice, there wasn't a single F word for a change. (pause of three seconds). I don't like bands who think it's clever to say fuck all the time." All deadpan but the timing and emphasis on "fuck" was superb.

While I was taking pics of Glastonbury Tor a girl next to me says to her (assume) boyfriend 'Whats that pointy thing on the hill?' at which boyfriend replies 'I think its Glastonbury tower or something'

Proof if needed that the Glastonbury spirit is lost on so many of the people who go there

[Helencholy]

On another note, the group camped next to us woke up/greeted one another with 'is Mandela dead yet?' every morning. So it was nice to get some form of outside news every morning, even if it was only confirmation that Mandela is still alive.

Sitting in the sacred stone circle field a guy dressed as Jesus suddenly came running past and did a jump with an air grab shouting '2000 years man, I feel great!' made my night.

At the guardian retailer "Do you have any daily mails?"

Girl: I feel so sick

Guy: It's okay it's okay I'm a paramedic

Girl 2: She's so high on ket hardy ha

Guy: I'm not helping you then it's your own fucking fault!

Girl: Shit

At chic "I thought this was daft punk?"

[Randy Apple]

Two girls behind us made me laugh

Girl one "It was cider"

Girl two "Why would someone pay £4 for warm cider and through it into the crowd? It was wee"

Someone on a loudspeaker in the mandela bar. "In honour of our Nelsen passing away, we will be serving free drinks for an hour" Caused a bit of a rush!!
