Reply to: Michael Eavis...

Ok, how much does Michael Eavis make out of it?

Dunno know, but it used to be 40k (rent on the land).

Remenmber their mantra? "Better red than Dead" ? Bunch of loony left commie pinkos. Thank got they didn't get their way, we'd all be speaking Russian by now.

Ahh, as I thought. You're a clueless fuqwit!

[gricerboy]

Really? Care to elaborate?

Or was that just another throw away comment designed to court controversy?

Well, given that the "charity" at the time was CND I wish more people had deprived them of funds!

Yep, I'd have kicked the tulip out of him too. He wasn't stealing from Eavis, he was stealing from the various charities that the festival supports.

Looks like you lost on this one Grindrboy!

a mate of mine had the sh!t kicked out of him by his security guards when climbing through a hole in the fence a few years back while he stood there and watched.

To be fair, Coldplay had just started playing and he was miles away from the official exit. It's surprising what you can chew through under such circumstances.

If you understood the hassle and problems caused by fence-jumpers then you would have smiled as your mate took a beating too. Eavis has just gone up in my expectations.

RE the Paul Morley interview - I don't like Paul Morley and refuse to watch it. Will be wearing my "I voted Tory" t-shirt for all 4 days then

Time for his perennial elevation to one of national treasure

Great idea. Why not contact him and get your photo taken with him??

Eavis and Butthead!!

[Churchill]

I am not suggesting he does do it for the money, but he doesn't do it for nothing either.

Not wishing to do down his cuddly, lefty, right on media image but I'd just like to point out that a mate of mine had the sh!t kicked out of him by his security guards when climbing through a hole in the fence a few years back while he stood there and watched.

Sobering thought that he doesn't do it for the money

Security fence

That sounds fair enough. He's a farmer first and a hippy second.

just watched the Paul Morley interview with Emily Eavis in wish she was going on about snobbery in the past & how these days Glastonbury is seen as part of the social circuit. Then, in the same breath, she goes on to say that she dreads the idea of Cameron and Clegg showing up because they are from the "wrong side of the tracks" & such people are not true to the heart & soul of Glastonbury.

Hmmmm... inclusive.

I'm told by a fellow CUKker who goes every year that Nick Clegg has been before.
