Hyperactive drugged up eels

[Ayrshire Chris]

According to the guardian the eels in white lake are stoned after the festival.  So please Don’t pee on the land

Sounds like a Frank Zappa or Captain Beefheart track

Comedy headline aside, given that it was the onsite urination problem that came pretty close to fucking the festival over this could be a problem 😞

Probably just makes the eels shrink and shrivel up, gives them stage fright and makes them tricky to find (so my friends tell me 😆)

And that one eel that won't shut the fuck up.

Oh bravo

I understand the jokes but this is just the type of thing that could make life very difficult for the festival.

I really thought you were talking about the band at first and felt very confused.

True. And That’s exactly why I added the don’t pee message to my first post.

It's a serious issue, and one that could threaten the future of the Festival, but it has to be asked why the Guardian have run with this more than 2 years since the event?

True.

Maybe they've been dropped as a partner and have a chip on their shoulder?

Because the scientists who did the research have only just published the paper?

I’m guessing that the research has been recently published, although the article doesn’t state that or name the journal

This is the journal and the article is posted above.

It’s on the BBC as well.

I don’t know what more the festival can do, really. Urination on the land is sadly inevitable but they’re strong on the message. I saw a few people loudly shame someone they saw doing it but it didn’t stop them.

Fair enough.  I get a sense GFL will need to act on this in some way.  Really not what they wanted to hear just as they are sensing it's all systems go for 2022.
