I went in '97 and it was a total mud-fest. It's worth it just to watch people try to walk. After a couple of days and a few thousand feet, the mud turns to glue. Watching people get one welly stuck, free it, get the other one stuck, then only their foot comes out, before falling on their @rse is slapstick and very "You've been Framed" but still hilarious. They get even more bent out of shape because they've drawn a crowd by this time.
As long as you pitch the tent out of the main drag and at the top of a hill, you're usually ok.
The toilets are still terrifying though.

The local pear cider drunk continuously acts as a great protection from diseases such as those... and only eating bacon sandwiches helps avoid food poisoning from some of the stranger food stalls that are there..Originally posted by zeitghostComment

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Anyone know if the tickets have been cloned or what ever for this event?
Seems a good idea to have your face on them...certainly get rid of those rip off hawkers so you only have to deal with one set of rip off artists!

I went to Glastonbury about 7 years ago. I stayed in a 5 star hotel and got a cab to the gate. No tents for me thank you....my quagmire of greed....my cesspit of laziness and unfairness....all I am doing is sticking two fingers up at nurses, doctors and other hard working employed professionals...

The same people who used to make Babysham, which is also a Pear Cider, or more properly a Perry. Now owned by the Constellation Group. Despite the brand image they were always a commercial brewing operation well before they acquired the Glasto associations.Originally posted by ratewhoreThis is the local pear cider you can now buy in Tescos?

Another branded version is Lambrini. Not, as the name suggests, a renamed Lambrusco but actually another mass produced Perry.
The commercial stuff usually has a much lower alchohol content and contains large amounts of adjuncts like corn syrup or inverted sugar than a 'proper' Perry."Being nice costs nothing and sometimes gets you extra bacon" - Pondlife.Comment

Did you wear a suit?Originally posted by LockhouseThe court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment
