BOLLOCKS

Last time I heard it was probably about 08 at Reading? Shame it's died off, it used to make me smile to hear it echo over the whole site.

On my travels I met an old Traveller called Arthur ,he was part of a group of people known as The Medieval Brigans .

As far as I'm aware no group called themselves that. 'A band of Medieval Brigands' was how Douglas Hurd, the then Home Secretary described The Convoy when justifying the police trashing them.

(sorry for the pedantry )

It was always bollocks.

Then some minority groups tried to be subversive and put their own spin on the classic.

Alan, I believe began at the Stone Circle where lost early morning revelers would try and find their missing friends....

I thought it always started if someone felt rain, then followed the rain cloud as it drifted over, so you would hear the chant coming before the rain, quite useful as it allowed time to take cover.

I first heard it in Reading 96 and didn't realise it had stopped happening til you just said.....

Happy to be proven wrong but.....at Glastonbury 2005 we lost our buddy Alan ('Scottish Alan') and being pissed about 20 of us shouted out for ages in Big Ground late one night, and it spread across to neighbouring Row Mead and beyond, so maybe just maybe that's where that one started.

If anyone really wants to know, Alan's still missing at Glastonbury as he lives & works in Saudi now.

First time I heard Bollocks! would have been in the mid eighties at some small tent where a very softly spoken American female folk singer was on stage. A dishevelled drunk just behind me started shouting Bollocks during her songs with what has to be said, great comic timing. The whole tent including the folk fans and the singer herself were all laughing in the end. It was muddy as hell and raining badly so lots of the crowd were just in there for shelter. Anyway the next day was the first time I heard it shouted and repeated across the site and it continues to this day.

At Leeds one year this one guy was pronouncing his bollocks as bollogs. This tickled us greatly and it has bee bollogs ever since!
