Overheard Funnies 2022

We had a heavy one on Wednesday night. One of my habits on my first day / night is to spend 90% of my time in a panic thinking I've lost something, only to later discover it somewhere obvious. Standard first night behaviour for me. This included not being able to find my pint cup, and running (yes, running) from Greenpeace back to a cocktail bar somewhere around West Holts to find it. It was in my rucksack, obviously.

Camping in Lime Kiln, woke up on Thursday morning to hear the mother in the group of our new neighbours saying over breakfast "I heard someone really late last night saying he'd left his rucksack over in the Park and was going to go and get it. Surely no-one would be silly enough to leave a rucksack behind that far away?"

At which point I unzipped my tent and stuck my hungover horses arse looking face out of the tent and replied "That'll be me".

The expression on her face suggested that in the space of a few seconds, she really understood who would be silly enough to do a thing like that.

Also, the bag was in my tent. Luckily I'd realised before I ran across site.

Watching Sama' Abdulhadi:

"That was amazing, he just MC'd that perfectly, completely live"

Who did?

"The guy in the DJ booth with the microphone"

That's a can of Stella.

"No, it's a mic"

At which point the guy took a swig from his "microphone"...

He was also convinced there was a face in the Greenpeace tree

Tbf isn't there a sound desk in the trunk of the tree? Have seen people looking out from there.  Or maybe he thought the tree was an Ent.

Seen rather than overheard:  at The Longest Johns' storming set at Avalon, a dad in front of me was really enjoying himself.  His little girl in the carrier on his back was much more interested in a slice of pizza, but each time she tried to take a bite she missed as Dad would start bouncing again.  She seemed quite happy though, up for the challenge of getting on the outside of the pizza

Nope, not a little normal human face. A big creepy nightmare fuel tree face 😄

”We have found a goat which in now at red gate of the festival site we would like to return it to its owners asap”

Think he got his dates wrong.

A mate popped out of his tent one morning and went for the full Timotei effect with his 2 litre water bottle. Straight over the head, with an accompanying shake. Was his vodka. Stung his sunburnt noggin and open eyes like hell (but hilarious for us). Worst, he did exactly the same thing the next bloody day! 

2019 I managed to fill a kettle with gin to make some tea in the morning, sat there for ages wondering why it was taking so long to boil and why I could smell booze.

Lady 1 - I've just been asked to take a cup of sawdust to the toilet

Lady 2 - oh no , oh no, now thats just a step too far ! Really a step too far..............

Thursday night on the Greenpeace stage watching Jon Carter watching a group of five 18-21 years (at a guess) trying to work out how to use a disposable camera.  5 minutes starting at it, looking through it and shaking it young lad finally noticed the wind on.  Made me feel really old (39) but hilarious to watch.

Bizarrely noticed a lot of people using disposable cameras across the weekend. 

Is this some sort of new trend?

Yeah I think a lot of gen Z-ers are into it, my gf is a photographer and apparently getting hold of film is a nightmare atm!

I saw someone waving taking photos on an instant camera and waving the photos about untill they developed … there is something about having hard copies of photos … but not quite sure about this method …

I overheard two boys in their 20s talking about using the compost toilets.

Boy 1 said "mate, I've reached a new low. But don't tell anyone else ok."

Boy 2 agreed not to say anything.

Boy 1 "I was absolutely bursting so had to go. Only once I had finished my poo did I realise I didn't have anything to wipe with. So... I'm not proud of this but I had to use some floor paper."

Boy 2 " YOU USED SOME MISCELLANEOUS BOG ROLL OFF THE TOILET FLOOR!" "That is a step too far. Not sure I can ever look you in the eye again".
