Mr November Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I like the ones that stay fixed to the tents next to mine that guide me home on a night. Really not a fan of any that are taken to stages, although the Mexican guys really amused us last year - they got everywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
not worthy Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I feel like I know JEM ! Never met him but always interesting to see what's written underneath - he must take loads anyway - the best I've ever seen was held by a lone, bald (nowt wrong with that), overweight (that either), topless chap whilst watching Lily Allen - it read 'I'll make you scream Lily'......rather menacing!

wilem Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I like all the flags at stages, differentiates Glastonbury from most other festivals when you can see a sea of flags in front of the stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom22 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) Big fan of flags. Made my own last year. Left by the tent for 4 days then carried it round on the Sunday. Funniest one I saw last year simply said "GOVE IS A TAWT" on it... ...turns out i took a pic of it too Edited May 26, 2015 by tom22 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woffy Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I like all the flags at stages, differentiates Glastonbury from most other festivals when you can see a sea of flags in front of the stage so that you can't actually see the stage or the act on it.

Lynsey Cox Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Yep no tents by the stages, just like my picture, they need to stay at your campsites... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mungo57 Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I always wanted to play on the rainbow peace flags and do one with 3 green circles that said 'Peas'. Then I decided I was being a dickhead and canned the whole idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure its guided a few along the way!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bubblecup Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Favourite flag last year was "Jolene is a Slag" most flags are pretty dull and the fuckwits that have 3 flags on one pole at the stages should be ashamed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That flag has been my lighthouse on several occasions. Thankyou. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Futurism Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 I like the flags, even if some of them are a bit Scary: http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/gallery/image/4983-flags/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilem Posted May 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 But I'm there to watch bands / artists play not stare at an "I love sausages" flag Last I knew the general consensus was it's not all about the music - it's part of the glastonbury vibe to have the flags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyonks Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 +1 for flags, although personally I could not be fussed with carrying one round all day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Placid Casual Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Flags are rubbish, but there was a funny moment last year where two flags got into a fight, then someone came into the area with a USA flag and everybody started chanting, 'USA! USA! USA!' I thought that was fairly accurate with current affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted May 26, 2015 Report Share Posted May 26, 2015 Any particular favourite flags over the years? I rather enjoy the yellow flag that has 'flag' written on it. Why has this (at time of typing) been minused five? I cracked up at the yellow flag with "god hates flags" on it whatever year it was.. Please keep flags to camp sites.

ChrisTGA Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I enjoy the Purple Aki signs, specially the 'sex pest from the north west one'. There's also a weird amount of Coventry flags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeanoL Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Last I knew the general consensus was it's not all about the music - it's part of the glastonbury vibe to have the flags Have any evidence for that? I thought the last poll taken put it at about 50/50? Going to need a really tall selfie stick to get photos over those flags too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 I enjoyed watching Dolly's set, indulging in her wholesome, family friendly music, when the camera panned to the crowd and a sea of people having a great time, with flags representing all nationalities in amongst flags asking Dolly to sing at their wedding, pronouncements about love and general good natured feeling towards everyone. Then came into shot one solitary black flag with a big white picture of somebody sticking their middle finger up. It amused me no end.
