I heard them wake up Friday morning and say "Oh My god the English have voted out, they are a bunch of Thick bastards" my reply "Only 51% of us" Always find it mildly amusing how people confuse British with English. Usually its the Americans that have this problem but obviously the disease is closer to home as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pentura Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Walking from the back of William's Green through to the Pyramid (just off Big Ground I think?)

At around 4am one morning a group of young lads walking past screamed 'THE NORTH REMEMBERS!!!!!" and proceeded to chant the game of thrones theme tune, dancing around our tents with the utmost joy. It was so brilliant I didn't mind being woken up so dramatically. We had a Stark flag next to ours and someone was screaming "Kill the white walkers" in the middle of th night aswell! You weren't up in Dairy ground were you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You weren't up in Dairy ground were you? Bushy Ground, appropriately by 'the wall' It proved to be a very popular flag the whole weekend, and my friend who bought it doesn't even watch GoT!

rottencrotch Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Not so much overheard as saw but in Los Artistes Bohemios there was a picture someone had drew of the female nude life model and it was basically 30 odd different types of boobs (like the ones you'd see in a school jotter) Tickled us no end!

fat_man_joe Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Following on from the GoT references. I enjoyed the traffic stewards trying (and sadly failing) to stop everyone from crossing the road, to which a crowd of people started chanting "HOLD THE DOOR!" Emotional times.

Osama Jim Laden Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 Walking through Bushy Ground by the crossing near Pedestrian Gate D on the Wednesday, I heard a chap on the phone saying in an rp accent.. 'dragging this trolley though the mud is just savage! Savage!' Almost laughed in the poor buggers face!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanBar Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Walking back to the tent after muse. My mate was walking next to me. He suddenly stops walking and says 'shit I can't see'!! To which I replied, must be some good Mandy then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddychick Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Two well to do women, dressed in their finest Barbour with clean wellies coming in gate c on Friday evening asked a steward, "Which is the less muddy path to take?" We were doubled over crying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alibear Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 More seen, than overheard, but I saw a guy walking around with a walking stick which had a child's wellington boot taped to the bottom of it. Amusing as well as practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futurism Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 I just saw this which I found rather funny.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Glastonbury-Festival-2016-Mud-in-a-Jar-Coldplay-Adele-Muse-/172255358962?hash=item281b382ff2:g:CskAAOSwukdXcR8r Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfAnIdiot Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Not overheard but seen: A guy sat on a chair outside his tent (opposite Beat Hotel) meticlously cleaning (actually polishing) his Hunter wellies with wet-wipes during the Skepta set. The wet wipes piling up around him. Sigh, what has Glastonbury come to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nidon Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 was walking down pennard hill at about 10am on the Wednesday when I passed a young guy and 2 girls dragging their stuff up the hill trying to find a spot to pitch their tent. I can only assume they had been stuck in their car for quite a while overnight as their demeanour was not great. Just as I passed them i heard the guy say to one of the girls 'the silly bitch should not have have forgotten her f**king ticket' I know what my reaction would have been if one of my group had realised they had forgotten their ticket as we rocked upto the gate On the Sunday evening my better half was queuing at the loos when she overheard some young guy telling his mate he had just seen 'earth, heart and soul' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPixie Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 (edited) Waiting to cross into Silver Hayes when some vehicle was passing and one of the crowd decided to start directing the traffic himself. The female steward said something like "Oi, I'm the one with the fucking whistle", and someone else said "It's Adele!"

rawrsomesauce Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Was walking through Pylon Ground Saturday morning when I heard a very flamboyant man saying to his female friend "I am NEVER fucking coming back here AGAIN! It's too FUCKING MUDDY!" - somehow doubt he held onto that opinion for long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPixie Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 rawrsomesauce's post reminded me of another one from our walk back to the car for the 2nd trip on Wednesday. Enthusiastic guy to his mate dragging a trolley through the mud: Don't worry, we'll get you a motorised one for next year! Grumpy mate: I'm not coming next year. Made us laugh. Hopefully he changed his mind before the day was out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balti-pie Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Saturday at about 2pm, I was waiting in the greenpeace field for my number to come up on the shower thing - had a little lean on the fence in the sunshine, and just to my right there was a fella and his missus having a bit of a barney. Not really my business of course, but I leant over an ear to see what I could hear, and then she screamed WELL YOU'VE CLEARLY GOT SOME FÜCKING HYGIENE ISSUES THEN and stormed off, while the poor fella stood there dumbstruck for a second before following her up through the tunnel to permaculture. Made me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen Ali Posted June 29, 2016 Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 Overheard this gem after Art Garfunkel played a particularly lovely version of Bright Eyes: Bloke 1: "What's this from? It's from a film, right?" Bloke 2: "Yeah, the weird animal one." Bloke 1: "Oh, I know - it's from Bambi!" Nearly pissed myself laughing.
