Indian is just fast Welsh. Knew a guy who had an Indian mother and Welsh father, it's uncanny how similar they sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and my friend had different reactions, while I was pissing myself laughing he felt compelled to turn around and ask her where the fuck she'd heard that. Whenever I try to do a welsh accent it end up Indian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to work in a call centre and during that time at least three customers said they couldn't understand my Indian accent and would like to speak to someone English.

DareToDibble Posted July 14, 2017 Report Share Posted July 14, 2017 I had been drinking far too early one day and my friend asked to go on my shoulders for a George Ezra song. Didn't trust myself not to faceplant her the minute she got on so I asked a randomer to pull me up, which he kindly did. Before then saying in my ear "You need to get to the gym, mate" to which someone else replied "Or rehab". Didn't really help that it tickled me so much my friend was worried I was going to drop her through laughter and started requesting from above "Please don't drop me!" This did not help.

At The Other Stage I bought one of those filled Yorkshire Puddings , there was a delay so the guy made chit chat . On finding out I actually was from Yorkshire he commented " Your the first person from Yorkshire we have served a Yorkshire Pudding to " It made him smile and made his day !!!

SteveTLizard Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 I'm not trusted enough with first names, our daughters second name is Avalon though. My son should have been Hendrix but I had to make do with Dylan Mani. Still there's always the old deed poll thing thing when Mr Lizard's not watching I suppose.

Chicken Bob Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Was sitting above the park on the Wednesday night some guy said. "I have to get my Christmas tree lights out the loft once a year and untangle them. It's a right pain in the arse. Imagine how Micheal Eavis feels when he has to get all these lights out the barn once a year and untangle them. It must take him ages" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy101 Posted July 18, 2017 Report Share Posted July 18, 2017 A couple of people in my camp had me howling with laughter explaining how they attempted to get their contraband in this year. They are trying to be more inventive in case security searches were more stringent. The girl who came down with one chap went into great detail about how they tried to hide things in the bottom of the pringles can, only to accidentally take too many out, not being able to get them back in and eventually trying to sellotape baggies to individual pringles whilst sat in a service station car park dripping with sweat. They then went for a plan B and tried to reseal a pot noodle type thing with superglue. The superglue didn't have a pin to open the tube so they ended up using and breaking the only pair of earrings the girl had, eventually got it open and resealed but accidentally left fingerprints of glue and pringle dust on the inside of the package making it look ridiculously suspect. This tale went on for the best part of 20 mins, getting more and more desperate whilst the two were getting more and more wound up with each other in the heat, covered in remnants of hyperbolic paraboloid potato snacks. The conversation then went on to another in the group who came down separately. After being asked of his method he only used two words that had the impact of many; 'natures pocket'. It became a euphemism for anything remotely bum related for the rest of the weekend. He later shared that he stashed stuff away before he left home on a long old drive to the site (3 hours or so). So next year he might wait until a little bit closer to the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
