I was in the toilets in Lower Mead and overheard a conversation Monday between two girls.

You alright Amy?

- Ummmm... no I'm ok.

Do you have any toilet roll?

- Yeah.

Do you need a poo?

- Ummmm... no I'm ok.

Ok, well I'll wait outside.

Ok I'm just waiting outside.

I remember camping next to a group of kids from Welwyn Garden City - not a funny story at all by the way - and overheard a conversation early Thursday morning about how they'd heard somebody died wednesday evening, didn't know who it was, and couldn't find their mate. Then it turned out that their mate was carted off by a steward in the early hours after he overdosed on pills because whilst onsite, on the wednesday, his dog had died and he couldn't cope.

Hope he was alright.

Some guy talking to his mate walking away from the pyramid after AF : "I called Sophie but it didn't connect her."

Randomer, turns round and shouts: "Turns out it was just a reflektor! OHHHH!"

That's brilliant!

Two girls on the way to SE corner: 'I've got herpes, gonorrhea and syphilis but don't touch my bum because I've got aids' they then went onto random men over 40 grabbing their bums saying ' ohhh daddy' then approached my mate saying 'daddy's gonna fuck you now' then grabbed his throat really aggressively and said 'AND IT WON'T HURT A BIT' lovely.

Dark. In 2010 my dog died on the Tuesday night before the start of Glasto. If it had been the following day I would have been at Glasto and probably done similar.

Aye it was shitty one that. My missus said, "christ, it's only thursday and you've already nearly died on pills?".

Not the sympathetic type, my missus.

Only just this moment come back to me!

We were walking back from Silver Hayes through Oxylers on the track right through the camping and there were a couple of cops in front of us

Just ahead of them two girls were comforting a third who was bent entirely double, completely straight legged

"Excuse me madam? Is your friend alright?"

"Oh her?" Said the oldest quick off the bat "Yeah she's fine - she's just doing her midnight yoga"

We squawked loudly and didn't dare look back!

clever quip gong goes to the gent near acoustic who accidentally stabbed me in the nuts with his umbrella and said "OOPS sorry fella, don't worry, i'm not bulgarian"

must've been sober

Overheard neighbours while lying in my tent in the morning:

Him: I want to see Robert Plant

Her: Who's he?

Me: (bit of a chortle)

Him: I'll give you a clue. Think of the biggest rock band of the 70's

Her: Is it something to do with Dire Straits?

Me: Oh for fucks sake!

On a more serious note, I can't actually recall the taste of sherry, but do know that I concluded that it was not for me from an early age. I'd just about eat a major chunk of camembert with most alcohols though. In fact I'd eat the stuff with a lot of soft drinks too. I'd stop at a can of Tango though as not doing so would be worryingly deviant.

I overheard a rather posh lad chatting to his mate on the Monday morning at breakfast time at one of the cafe's.

"So Dolly was talking about Bon Jovi, yeah, and then this guy came out. I thought it might be Jon Bon Jovi, but it wasn't, it was just some random guy?"

The "random guy" was Richie Sambora. :girlumbrage:

    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better. 
    • You'd think that something like bad weather was in the basics of festival planning. After the shitshow of Madrid, you'd think they'd learnt their lesson, apparently not...
