This was the fucking wanker who started attacking young lads down by Aracadia. The fella was wild. Out of control. He then hit a woman and got chased around the site - and got a bit back for his troubles. His mate legged it earlier but got caught after.
The security were so painfully slow to physically restrain him (are they not allowed to manhandle people?) that a load of us hung about refusing to go away until he'd been taken off site. One of the stall holders - a Welsh boxer - informed me that if this bloke didn't get taken off site, he'd "spark him out" to make sure he'd have to leave.
The police took an age to arrive (we saw them drive past nearby and not return for a good 10-15 minutes) and no one seemed in much of a hurry to get him out of the place.

Well we were on a relatively flat patch, but some tents further down were at a hell of an angle. One tent looked ready to tip over.

Yeah we joked about having to velcro our sleeping bags to the bottom of the tent; managed not to end up in too much of a heap each morning but there was definitely some sliding down the hill done.
Derv's paint ambush on spacey made me laugh more than anything since the tomato fight at Glasto

anyone see or jump on our church? we were driving it round site after dark and during the art car parade on Saturday afternoon... had a nice little pile of Turbosound inside but we definitely need a bit more on the roof next year... it's was a great munter magnet, spent the weekend meeting weird and wonderful people and trying not to run them over.
probably the most fun you can have in a scaffolding truck

It was left in my car , I've found it when I'went to leave and have asked Stuff it for her address so I can send it back to here, it hasnt even been opened , I've apologised , and it was after I carried her stuff from my car in the crew car park up to the top of the hill, there was no malice going on and I'm sorry Stuff it was thinks there was , I can't say more than that.
Glad everyone had fun tho

Around 6.50pm Friday night. Apart from that dickhead, everyone else seemed lovely.

Ok so my ups and downs;
The ups:
I don't mind the noise of the bikes, I can cope with the fact that once an hour you use a mic to drum up business even, but I REALLY don't need to hear what you are saying to the people inside your ride for 20mins every hour!! It's intrusive and frankly when I've put my tent next to the Wandering Word that is what I'd like to listen to (it's 20' away) not your fekkin bikes on the other side of the arena.
Interestingly I'm not going but I see Shambles has just banned all disposable plastic bottles on site this year and will provide FRANK water on tap.
The ups:
- Saving all my energy for two days to dance to Slamboree on Sat night at the Town Centre and I danced hard
- Mexican chicken burritos
- CAKE!!!! from the posh cake stall
- Good laughs with good friends and some randoms.
- Warm cider.
- £15 for a locker for the w/e keeping all my stuff safe and charging everyones phones.
- Eco bond clearly worked.
- I liked the fact that the bars were hidden and there were 'themed' food stalls in the areas.
- Watching the people beetle about from our camp on the hill.
- The weather
- The rather stupid and very amusing kids in the camp next to us (((Niall)))
- Seeing a shooting star!!
- Having my very first taste of steak courtesy of the lovely Sunray
- All the hills went up!
- Toilets/Water issues - having a long walk for water was stupid.
- not entirely sure about the new layout, it didn't feel as believable as last year as you kept having to 'pop out' of one area and walk through dead space to get to the next.
- Nos cannisters all over the place
- Chaiwallahs being too far away.
- The ridiculous queue to get in!! (which we completely jumped accidentally).
- The even more stupid queue to get out!! It took 2hrs to leave the car park, inc us getting within sight of the top gate and them closing it causing 100 cars to barrel it back down the field in a haphazard way.
- Making a large hole in my shin on the way into the casino
- DUST

perhaps you could have a chuckle to yourself about it instead?
