Was meant to be there but a last minute family problem cropped up so had to cancel My m8 is there for the 2nd year in a row & he's 52 or so. Was wanting to see Pendulum especially.

 

Never been either been to others , i dont think iv wellies big enough

 

Didn't know John Cooper Clarke was still on the go

It's a pretty good line up this year. The last couple of years have been dire.

I really want to go again.

 

Unless your pals call you donkey........wrong wellies
It's all about the college girls looking for fun in the mud

 

lets get a scoobynet crew there for next one who wants too organise it and will anybody be interested

 

Mumford & sons are good playing now

 

U2 on now BBC2

 

Jimmy Cliff BBC4, thats the stuff.

 

Hasnt everybody and their son had enough of u2 , twenty years ago

Paulo Nuttinii is decent value imo

 

I spy many bands miming !

 

Bono is crap tonight

 

I was there in the late 70s/early 80s, used to get there on the monday, before the summer soltlace, "come in free if you help" the bar was next to the pyrymid stage, there was market, which was like babylon, you could get anything! Loads of old school hippies, every body was having fun, no coppers, just madness, peace and love!! and damn good music!! best growing up years, so far!!,

 

U2 also miming and not playing their instruments live.

Ha, what a con, all these ****** paying all that money and travelling so far to hear a record being played

 

 

Looks like I picked a good year to go weather wise last year, it was scorchio for all 5 days.

Always a great variation of music, I remember last year Ray Davies of the Kinks was on straight after Slash on the Sunday, it was much better than watching England get knocked out of the world cup.

 

Bono talks some ****e!

 

Sings it too

 

He was the first gig i ever went to in 1980. Funnily enough i saw him at Kings Cross a few years ago, looks just the same.

I thought U2 weren't great, although i'm not a fan.

 

Bono and his band must pinch themselves every morning..

Talentless one trick ponies..

 

BONO wants Biddy

 

I would not enjoy squelching about in thick mud, the expense would mean it was not worth the hassle.

I would prefer doing a bike scramble on a wet day-much more fun.

One has to get into the state of mind where one doesn't give monkeys to the rain and mud, its all an adventure. One just enjoys the atmosphere, dance like frikking maniac on top tunes, meet dead laid back people, and have great fun! Some get into that sort of state of mind with the help of alcohol, drugs, topped up with music. For some, music itself may act like a drug along with the atmosphere. Passive toking can't be avoided in scenes like that, mind.

I am pleased that I didn't go. Right now, I am finding myself very lucky with a hot cup of tea in my warm house.

 

That will be 2013 then

 

I'm there now, having just slept off the previous night.

it is biblically muddy. everything is a major effort to get to and I am roasting to death in my tent now the sun is up. I haven't washed for 4 days, have the splats and am a mass of rubbing sores.

Having said that, its worth mentioning that I'm having a great time here. So far I've seen Carl ***, the chemical brothers, mark Thomas (a very funny man) Craig Charles Di a dj set and an absolutely amazing stage show which i never did find out the name of. Cross Tron with mad max and you'll be close. It was visually stunning though and set to the prodigy

I missed U2 which I regret. Not so much for the music or Bonio's endless pontfication, but for the pitched battle between security and the first 5 rows to prevent them inflating a huge protest sign saying 'pay your taxes you chunts!'

So yeah, all in, having a really good time

Went to the first one ever in June 1971, a short hop from Birmingham where I was at Aston Uni. Don't remember much about it, except Hawkwind played......
