"I'm never, ever doing that again!"

[gigpusher]

Leaving after Sunday headliner. When the car in front of us nearly crashed into the central reservation and we realised that we hadn't really fully noticed that happening a trip to the next services and a large coffee was decided upon. Up until that point my husband had never drank coffee, We now have our own beans grinder, coffee machine, cafetierre etc so it changed his life!!

Boring one this but I am never going to placate my mate/s again in regards to watching someone I don't want to see. Few years ago there were only 2 of us that went. In the run up I made him aware that the only band I was arsed about seeing was New Order as they are one of my fave 2 bands (not a lot of people know that). Because of that I went with my mate to see DJ Luck and MC Neat in the Blues rather than watching Underworld on the Glade (shoot me now) as that is who he wanted to see. Roll on to the Saturday and 20 minutes before New Order were due on, my mate dropped it on me that he was going to see Carl Cox on the Glade rather than New Order, so I ended up seeing NO on my own anyway.

Snap. Me too. I like to admire my own offerings sat there in the gloom. Back in 2005 I produced king kong’s finger on he Sunday morning, I was inordinately proud of myself. Still am actually

I'll never bring LOADS of drink with me again only for it to get warm and but feel like you can't let it go to waste. There is nothing worse than drinking warm tins on a Saturday. At least on Sunday when you can't physically get them down you have a genuine excuse to just go to the bar.

1999, first year Mrs b came. We were in a party of, I think, 4 lots of tents. I got talked into cordoning off an area just big enough for our tents, and also for a bloody table and chairs (plastic camping ones). So whilst everyone else was packed in like sardines, we sat at our table, like Lord and Lady Muck, supping wine out of proper wine glasses. Didn’t happen again.

Better horrified fascination than the creep who had a phone on a selfie stick down there a few years back. My poor friend has avoided longdrops since! ?

That’s quite mean of him. Are you still friends?

Such behaviour would warrant a short sharp decorum chat with said deviant. Possibly involving their phone going into the drops.

2. Unless the only other option is soiling myself, I will never again go for a shit in a longdrop in the rain. Not for any hygiene or practical reason, just because when I did it was the single saddest shit I ever had in my life.

Nothing better than shitting in the rain.  Glorious, reminds you you're alive.

I bet they took that photo that's been shown on here (and is probably online somewhere).

1. Get carried away in the queue on the Tuesday night and completely write off the Weds. Not clever

2. Buy a 2 man pop up tent for me & my missus. Waking up in a sauna in 2014, face stuck to my roll mat and having to get changed lying down for 5 days.

3. Get my d1ck out in the queue for NYC Downlow when asked for queue jump. They lied to me..

I can only imagine (But really don't want to!) You'd honestly think people had better things to do at glasto... i hope someone peed on it! Imagine answering a call on the phone after it had been in there..Christ on a cracker?

I will try my best not to get sunstroke on the Wednesday after drinking a shitload of cider, meaning I have to go to bed early with a banging headache.

Seems to happen every year.

This culminated in 2017 with me having to chunder into a log drop (not a pleasant experience), as i'm too polite to just puke into a bush, and go and sleep for a few hours on the floor of the Avalon Stage tent (using my wallet as a pillow) and I was too poorly to walk back to CV East.

I’ll never have a super spicy curry when I’m trashed again at glasto. I’m not the best with spice in the real world but it was intensely unpleasant, painful and day ruining!

 

Amen!  I had a particularly spicy burger in 2017 - I think it had chili in it or something - that wreaked havoc on my insides.  Later while I was off my nut I horribly misjudged a fart.  Not exactly what you want in Shangri La at 4 in the morning.

the lenor bottle has come in handy in traffic queues on the way there several times ... don't want to upset the local residents

I always bury it afterwards, I'm not sure they realise.

Every year I vow to never again physically tire myself to the extent where the whole festival becomes a major effort. And then I do. Still dunno if I just walk way more than others, or I'm just more unfit than others. I reckon a bit of both.

by the time sunday comes im absolutely shattered physically ... and I would say im not unfit ... its just the whole minimal sleep and fairly constant movement that kills you ... dont think you can really prepare for it ...you are not alone im sure

Thats good to know. To be fair I think I do walk a lot when I'm there, but also my job involves being sat on my arse all day so I'm very unfit.

My very first Glastonbury I had just come back from 3 months of backpacking, and I was able to walk forever at the festival. After that, I always hit a brick wall. Last year I was really looking forward to Warpaint on Saturday night, but I couldn't possibly face the walk down to the Park and back to my tent. Instead I watched Foo Fighters in pain, stumbled to my tent, and slept like a log.
