Better than being a contrived drealocked 50 summit business man :)

I'd like to have 50 summits. With snow on the top. Oh, and a rack and pinion steam train.
 
Bumped from page four :eek:

Ticket registration period for Glasto 2008 has been extended, to last from Friday 1st February to Friday 14th March, it's been recently announced ...

Check the official website etc. ....

Kinda sums up the general apathy all round then I guess! :p

Anyone else heard the rumour that GFL have finally got fed up with Roy Gurvitz's petulance & given Lost Vagueness the heave-ho?

me neither.
i can think of lots of ways i'd rather spend a few hundred quid and none of them involve traipsing around a big cage in pilton with 200,000 randoms.

Well no-one's MAKING you go.

Some want to go, some don't, thats the way of it. People like bouncer, however, insist (oh so maturely) on comig in to threads like this to snipe and sneer ...

I'm working this time, so the ticket cost isn't so relevant this year. But being marginally positive :rolleyes: about Glastonbury and about life, I fully intend to have a great time! :cool:

Which it's perfectly possible to do ...

i thought this had already been pretty much confirmed during last year's festival? it's not news, surely?
 
I look forward to it like I do every year , seeing old friends , going on a 4 day binge and probably at times moaning that it aint like it used to be but without fail I always have a great time and some more memories in the bank, roll on June.

I knew there was (yet another) big falling out over Trash City & the fact that they had pinched the Diner, the aeroplane fuselage & a lot of LV's staff but I've only heard the rumour that LV was possibly disappearing altogether this week. They've been flogging a dead horse for years anyway imho. I think 2003 was the last time I spent any amount of time there as it was still "lost" & not full of gawpers.

I got mightily fucked off last year with the hoards of idiots shuffling along the railway track every night muttering “Lost Vagueness – Stone Circle - Lost Vagueness – Stone Circle” like some sort of pathetic mantra.

LV hasn’t changed for years. It’s boring as fuck. The only difference is now you just get thousands of people standing around in the mud in the vain hope that an occasional fire eating hippy might make an appearance. At least Trash City had something new to see & a bit of vibrancy about it but I’m sure that will go exactly the same way once the lemmings get to find out about it. :mad:

I agree and I'm glad.

There's a documentary (planned for C4??) somewhere in the pipeline apparantly, which it would seem includes some fairly erm 'candid camera' footage of Roy and LV in the time leading up to the 2007 festival and during it. Showing chaotic scenes of standup rows with Michael and others. I've been told there's footage of Roy calling Michael a cunt (to his face?) at one point ... whether any of this ever gets broadcast is another matter ...

Goff, Tofu Love Frogs drummer, posted 'elsewhere' way back in September as follows :

Actually it was worse than that cos I was getting it from people who work for roy, joe rush and my own little bit. RG told us the tofu love frogs that we could not play L.V. as he had heard that we were playing trash city. We were told later that workers at l,v were going to down tools if it didn't happen. We got told we were in breach of contract which was weird cos we never got a contract, it was all a bit pathetique.
I like roy and have never had a row with him in the ten years or so I have known him. Yet when I saw him at the site he said I was one of the 'dark lords'. Which would be funny if it wasn't so sad he looks like a man on the edge if you ask me. As for that witch in charge of the trailer park, she is lucky to not have a substantial dentists bill. Coke + too many film crews makes people very deluded about their own importance. I heard M.E. could not give a fuck whether R.G. pulled L.V. the festival has gone on for a long time without it and will continue , by the way the gig we did at trash city was a million times better,and 'edgier' whatever that means than that dump, by the way we would like payment for that Roy. I believe that would be in the contract , if we had one. Love from the dark lord.you twat.

:D :eek:

And there are others far more pissed off with Roy and the L.V. setup as it became by 2007 anyway, than him ...

Have also heard more recently over on elsewhere from one of the Trash City people that the old L.V. area will be taken over by elements of Trash City, probably the whole thing really, along with Chris Tofu (he of Continental Drifts) very actively involved. And according to the same guy ('blimbus') one unverified rumour is that Glastonbury Festivals Ltd. either are, or are thinking of, serving an injunction on Roy Gurvitz to stop him getting on site -- do you know anything of that Tort? Or anyone?

It's a bit of a sad end to it all really. Although I do agree that L.V. had declined into a sad, unoriginal, repetitive and boring shadow of what it had once been right at its start. But Goff's right about Roy overeaching himself. There's been so many rumours of his overbearingness for ages ...
 
Well I've been getting excited again about 2008, so I started to read this thread from the beginning, having not really followed it.

On Page 4 I got spun off with a link from WoW to a great "history" site... then a link from there spun off again to efestivals... and there's WoW again... I really enjoy reading about "the old days". Never saw it myself, but find it fascinating.

A small excerpt from William's memoirs...

I was nearly a traveller :cool:
