CaledonianGonzo Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 I seem to recall her saying they were given them. I actually bought one yesterday from the official store cos I now think of it is a Mavis shirt. Despite it looking like you're wearing a target. What a great morning.

squirrelarmy Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 I now know why Micheal Eavis has his beard styled in his iconic fashion. I’ve been growing a lockdown beard and ‘tache and the amount of food and drink I’ve got caught in my bristles has been unbelievable. Soup and wine in particular are very messy. I’m fine drinking from a bottle or can but as soon as I try to drink from anything wide brimmed I end up with liquid dripping from around my chops. So in order for the Eavis to maintain proper decorum while entertaining the higher class of guest he needs to keep his facial hair away from his mouth.

It was a bit of a let down, rain & cold that evening, plus we went too hard the previous two days it made an excuse to head to bed early as we were knackered from mud (great decision as the sun came out Sunday). Plus I realised I only know about 5 songs of theirs. They weren’t bad though? I met Professor Schales from Fresh Meat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrZigster Posted May 26, 2020 Report Share Posted May 26, 2020 Fresh Meat was pretty good. Better than Bad Education which is currently on BBC1 iPlayer in the background. Gonna switch to Newsnight I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I studied Geology at university, pretty much all the lecturers had that style of 'no moustache - just beard' facial hair. We always referred to it as a 'geologist's beard' but maybe all those old guys were just Eavis fanboys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WARNING, STEREOTYPE BELOW I wonder how many people studied geology because they found rocks fascinating were surprised post graduation that they: Earned more money than most of their peers that studied other subjects. Had to live on an oil rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaledonianGonzo Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 I studied Geology but then sacked it off immediately after I graduated as most of the career options involved studying mud cores in Aberdeen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bisque Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) I found the Geologists very introverted, much like Howard from Fresh Meat. Never wanted to socialise or go for nights out despite always being invited. 100 of us went on a field trip to Ireland, same coach & ferry, & I only ever remember seeing them once throwing up in the Irish sea on the way there. I love limestone karst scenery. Edited June 5, 2020 by Bisque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
