How old are we all here on Efests nowadays?

[Neville Street]

I’d like to claim I could fully recall it but I think I was meeting strong cider properly for the first time that weekend.

It was definitely fun :):)

Also on the Reading 1983 line up. Absolute favourites of mine at that stage, they’d been there the year before but further down the bill.

I'm 43 next week but there have been days on here recently where I've regressed to feeling like a 9 year old listening to his parents arguing downstairs.

By all accounts judging by whats been happening elsewhere on this forum lately i reckon the average age has taken a bit of a dip..... to about 10yo.

[Hutchmaster]

26 but feel about 52.

Out of upvotes, me too 🙂 Reading 1983

Me three. Was at Reading 1983. Were you in the line of fire when the stage fireworks went wrong for Big Country? I think the first few rows of that stage audience got their eyebrows removed!

Hardly been in here since covid. What on earth has gone on? Everyone lost their heads in the pandemic?

No, I was further back and see previous comment on cider, I can’t really remember!

This will be my last Glastonbury in my 40s, but certainly planning on many more.  My kids are all in their 20s, now, and have all been, but only the younger two want to return (only the middle one can come this year).  Still remember when I was in my 20s and thought 50 was old.... 🤣

I don't know, think it might have aged me a bit 🤣

And me! Steel Pulse got bottled off before the end of their first song. Awful behaviour

I’m afraid I do remember that, and remember being appalled even back then as an unenlightened teenager 😞

A year earlier I had received a Party 7 can full of piss on the head during Y&T set. People were just bored and there used to be several bottle battles between different parts of the crowd back then, probably still happens at Reading nowadays ?!

as I remember it, they came onstage during the usual left vs right bottle chucking between acts and then stomped off.  When coming back they told the crowd not to chuck stuff, which in hindsight was probably the wrong thing to say at Reading.

[steviewevie]

52 tomorrow ffs.

That’s a fair amount of well matured urine to be chucked about.

Ouch you poor blighter 😯

I remember at the old Monsters of Rock the plastic bottles of pee, but did see someone who had been hit with a miniature glass bottle, sounds like they were less severe than yours tbh

And whats their 'reasoning' for asking you if you're giving up the things you love.  I hate aging and people telling me 'how to behave' - Petra pan they say I am, I just say its living how I want to live, and all the time I am fit and healthy enough to do it, I will . Who labels behaviours into age categories ?

I think you should change your friends (joking) and tell them to come along and try it out ? Or pipe down lol

I agree. ‘Pipe down’ is perfect!

[Havors]

Too old!! In my head I feel 23 in my body im 43 pushing 53 with injuries haha
