The bloke who fell down the long drop

I was either on or near Hitchen hill and overheard a neighbour come back saying the toilet collapsed while he was sat on it and that it was lucky he wasn't (and no one else was) in the one next door as that completely collapsed.

We saw a pipe on a shit sucker tractor burst on Sunday near John peel stage. We were stood in front of it about 100m away so didn't see if it got anyone but it was spraying shit up into the air around it ad we could hear screams of terror coming from people running away from it, was possibly more entertaining than Tom Odell

I was in Hitchin Hill as well and can confirm the broken seats there.... I'll put it down to people squatting on the seats. If you sit on it weight is evenly distributed, standing concentrates it in one or two areas.

I went into one block and there was a visible crack about halfway running parallel to the door. Next day we see some broken seats by the rubbish.

They certainly didn't feel as solid as previous versions... it's that bit when you're all settled down on your seat and someone comes in to the next cubicle and the seat suddenly dips with the weight, more than once I had to grab the bottom of the door or the cubicle wall either side.... that said, it did make the process I was there for a little easier after such a shock!.

A few of my mates said they saw a bloke being rescued from the long drops up at the acoustic stage. Supposedly he was hanging on to the seat by his fingertips, and when they pulled him out he was only wearing a thong!

Did anyone else see this?

I thought those cast seats looked a bit dodgy. I'm not sure the festival as such is aware of how much hovering/standing goes on. they might be better with the simple french hole-in-the-floor for such people, it's their hovering that ruins all the toilets

I heard about this when we went for a real ale in the Acoustic field, some fella came and sat next to us and told us the story, apparently the end one collapsed dragging hm into the shitter.

Im 26 stone. I used the long drops without it breaking lol.

Though it did creak.

However if I was to stand on it and squat I am 100% sure I will be creating a thread called

"I feel intot he long drop"

    • live music / main stage will generally end around 11pm but theres dj’s and late goings on right till 4am if you are so inclined.   Drinks are about £7.50 a pint probably and yes theres lots of mixed drinks / spirits / cocktails available to buy   wonderful festival, back for my third year in a row and 4th overall
    • If anyone sees Lakefest this weekend on any sites please post here, I’ve got alerts set. Been on TFG in recent years and not sold out yet.

    • So we've signed a Horny Czech, and Bruno's turned up the training camp instead of doing Isak's nonsense.   Still not sure I believe Bruno's staying mind, but glad he's not doing the sh*t Arsenal are asking him to do to lower the price. If they want him they can stump up.   My suspicion is that whichever of Madrid/Man City don't start next season with Rodri will go for Bruno, and one of them will come in while Arsenal have f**ked about trying to get him cheap, which while I absolutely want to keep him, would still be good enough bants and a nice middle finger that I wouldn't mind it so much. I just wish we'd report Arsenal for tapping up.   If rumours are to be believed, we're after 2 more defensive signings, and an attacking player, on top of a replacement if Bruno leaves, having already signed a LW, 2 CMs, a GK, and some youth players. Huge churn, but apart from a couple of Bazou Toure's games for Ivory Coast at the world cup, I've not seen any of them play. Over 2 summers we've basically changed our entire team aside from the CBs.
