Glastonbury's happening?

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

That means it's going to piss down for days :-(

[Snin]

back in days when you could pay a scouse to let you use his ladder / hole in fence to get in...jeezus must have been ..90s?! anyway her fault she was passed out in a ditch and it was dark

Mid 90s I think was the end of the wall hopping, mainly because of the riots in 92 but also because the festival reached the stage were they had no f**king idea how many people were actually there (and the obvious safety issues which would result from this).

[Jake]

Still very much happens snin.

I'm legit :smug:

[Berni]

You know the brother-in-law's family on his mother's side are the Eavises, right? Well my sis has usually got tickets from her erstwhile mother-in-law in the past, but now, with the new fella being the brother in law's best man, she wanted to take him, but the ma-in-law is kicking up a stink.

All fun and games.

[Snin]

You are vile scum. No offence.









*This is quite different to streaming films for free. Quite different.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

They spent 4 days battering hippies, stealing their drugs and then selling them back :cloud9:

They offered to do the following year for free, it was so much fun.

[Jake]

(Reality is lying under a car with a ladder for two hours trying not to get too pissed in the process/going on to break your ankle).

But yes it's nice it still happens.

Thank f**k I got a ticket.

[Berni]

such matters. But then she has the advantage of never having been a hippy.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I simply paid the man on the gate and offered him a fair and agreeable sum of money.

In 1989 we gave him 15 pounds sterling to cover 3 of us as we had "came over from Ireland and it was all we had". We had in fact come from London Victoria coach station and of course had more, for about an hour.

[Snin]

out in henley many moons ago...she grated my grits im afraid..thoguh she was very drunk but still..so ill stay out of this one :-)

[Berni]

relationship are being felt. Inevitable, really.

[IUFG]

[Snin]

and just felt lucky they had not been bombed or shot tbh

a good time to be an oirisher in england then imo..as long as you put up with the police harrasment no one else would say boo to you imo

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Hippy encouragers are going to be a bit odd though, aren't they?

[Snin]

safe and happy and that being with his chosen best friend would close the circle so to speak..hopefully they may see this one day... though as i said ive no real truck with those Eavis chaps..far too right on, yogurt weaving and lefty yet of course not really, green, big for boots and just a bit...odd

[Berni]

The m-in-l thinks she should have relinquished her share when he carked it.

My sister feels differently.

[Jake]

150 on the door, you get led in, then released no wristband sw.

I expect paddys are just flat out rejected nowadays, or the security taking the money.

[Berni]

On the other hand, I do think that the chap in question needs to take a long, hard look at himself. You can't go around knobbing your dead mate's wife, ffs!

[Jake]

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

of vulgarians.

Have no part in the matter, that's my advice. You might catch their common.

[Berni]

Little better than gypsies, really.

[Berni]

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Good lord.

We didn't even have a tent with us. I recall paying our money and gratefully pegging it in and not stopping running until we got halfway down the hill towards the Pyramid Stage. The Wonderstuff were playing so we stopped and spent most of our money on the very first person we saw selling cider and drugs. Whole thing a blur from that moment on.

Never went back after 94.

[Snin]

f**ked off after about 24 hours or so as music was pretty ****e and found it too hippy n tedious compared to the raves around at time

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Still. Rum lot, clearly.

I'm sure it's all very sanitised or whatever now compared to back then but still good fun.

I'm looking forward to mushrooms x Stephen Hawking on the kidz stage.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Life goes on and all that and love can sometimes seed and blossom in extreme adversity.

Two lost souls, each devastated by the loss of their closest friend, perhaps finding comfort in the company of each other, humping wildly before year end.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

I know there is a body of opinion that automatically equates sanitised = not as good but I would not 100% concur.

Yes it was great and wonderful being there at a certain time when certain types of music were exploding but on occasions when darkness fell it was not 100% pleasant.

The place being often over-run and the drug market controlled largely by thieving scousers or wrong ‘uns from Bristol did not always lend itself to the hippie utopia it was often seen as.

[Berni]

Apart from anything else, it's the look of the thing. It rather suggests he was waiting for the chance to pounce all these years and then opportunistically used the chap's demise to make his move.

It's also just rather icky.

[Jake]

Most menacing thing I've ever seen is Thom Yorke dancing next to me in a top hat.

That f**king eye kept looking at me.

[redgunamo]

Anyway, just because we don't ordinarily blame them doesn't mean they are blameless.

[Classic Jorge]

[Berni]

armour, r. I make no claims in that direction. She is not a lady to be trifled with. :hehe:

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

I've no history in knobbing inappropriate knobees, not me, no way, no sir.

:moonwalks:

[Berni]

[redgunamo]

It does explain alot though.

[Berni]

[Classic Jorge]

OK, I wouldnt trust that bloke as far as I could hoy the *******. Your sister should probably have given it a swerve but grief does funny things, especially to those with vaginas.

Happy now?
