[Pieface]

Stop being smug Dub!!

You'll tempt fate and we'll break down 20 miles from the site

i can't be arsed to take food, to other festies I will but not glasto

can't be arsed, the food is ok, theres too much to be doing to be sat around the tent too much

 

[Firky]

I was right next to camp urban a couple of times but I wasn't going to visit you freaks. I think it was William, Stig, Moose, Aqua and that bees chap who persuaded me otherwise.

Bringing dense snacks - dried fruit, nuts etc. and some boxes of wine (take the bag out of the box to save space), but not meals. sod that, talk about hassle!

 

[DrRingDing]

My breakfast at glasto consists of cider, rollies and a bit of toothpaste if I'm feeling posh.

I'd feel sorry for you obviously, but there would be a part of me laughing my arse off if that happened

 

[Kanda]

but the breakfasts are shit and over-priced.

Are you reading my posts Dub???

Am I the only person who actually likes cooking when they camp?

I get a real kick out of it, brings out the scout in me. I'm having fantasies about catching and cooking my own mackerel soon when I get the time to learn to fish

 

[Firky]

I'll be taking my Soreen

Anywhere else I'd agree with you. I'm just looking forward to my first ever glasto where money isn't an issue and I can afford to eat out and about...

but the breakfasts are shit and over-priced.



rather than queuing in the mud and spending 5 quid for a shit veggie banger made of crushed sweetcorn which i'll then have to eat standing up.

i can honestly say that i've always been able to find a damn good breakfast that i can eat sitting down. when i've not been too wired on squidy base to even consider eating. the only criticism is the price.

and you call me a lightweight dammit, mr "i've got a nice truck to sit in"

Absolutely, fish you caught on an open fire you built - can't be beat. But you're asking me to do all that, and marinate my brain in various juice and try and see 4000 live acts? No thanks, I'll take the easy option

 

[bluestreak]

No thanks, I'll take the easy option

half a gram of speed taken three times a day.

I love it

just not at glasto

 

[Pieface]

Yeah, well mackerel are thin on the ground at Glastonbury so I have to make do with eggs and myco protein

I'm poor man's Mears aren't I?

tbh, if ray rustled up something edible from the glastonbury site on Sunday lunchtime, I wouldn't eat it.

 

[Dubversion]

yep, but i won't be sitting in it until the sun is high in the sky.

whereas you'll be crawling into a sweaty little canvas pit just after Arctic Monkeys finish

*resolves to bring U2 records to PRoD*

 

[Firky]

Who's going to see Bjork then?


ME ME ME ME!!!

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

Who's going to see Bjork then?

Oh yes

 

[bluestreak]

me too. i've never seen her play before and i'm enjoying the new album.

 

[Firky]

DECLARE INDEPENDENCE
DECLARE INDEPENDENCE
MAKE YOUR OWN FLAG
DONT LET THEM DO THAT TO YOU



I hope she plays that

 

[DrRingDing]

I'll be there for Bjork

 

[DrRingDing]

I'll be there for Bjork

I hope she'll playing when it's dark or getting dark.

 

[nosos]

yeah I wanted to track down some mushrooms specifically for bjork

(on which note: how easily available do you think they'll be? i'm sure there's a fuck load of grow kits in circulation, loads of enterprising hippys who picked a shit load but still there's probably a risk demand will badly outstrip supply)

is there a subtle hint to camp urban loaded into this post?

 

[bluestreak]

mate, jsut head along to the stone circle as the sun goes down. you'll be jsut fine.

i'm more concerned about the availability of decent pills.

and drRD, bjork headlines on the other stage so it should be as the sun goes down.

11pm on the Other Stage, when all the kids are watching Kasabian and AM's

(would quite like to see Kasabian )
