Oh God. It's not gonna recover from that is it?

Nope

It NEVER gets better. We know this.

I want more mud pics

 

[Voley]

I feel sorry for the poor sods, I really do. You spend so long looking forward to it, it costs a fucking heap of money to go and you end up with that.

Aye well that's the risk you take innit? That's why I am not taking it.

Meanwhile, meteorologist, Jane Thompson, explained: "Scientifically speaking, if you insist on booking Bono and putting him on a pedestal to be worshipped, God will try to drown everyone within a five mile radius."

Geezus.. you're fucked if you don't get there on wednesday really... taken today:

Teepee in future

 

[Biddlybee]

Is that tiny space in the middle the bit in front of the main stage?

 

[Crispy]

Christ, how much space is wasted on those fuckin tipis?!

biddly: that's the dance stages

 

[smmudge]

Wow 07 and 05 were bad years but at least there were a couple of mud-free days at the start of the fest. Looks like the mud might dry up just in time for that rain expected on Friday night.

No

That pic is only a fraction of the site

Yup:

 

[Lord Camomile]

I think that's The Park, isn't it?

That's where the posh folks 'slum' it:

Each Tipi can house up to 6 adults. In 2011 Tipis will cost £900 to hire (Festival tickets not included). This year Tipis will come complete with a groundsheet and rain catcher, but you will need your own bedding, camping equipment, etc, and any necessary creature comforts.

Yeah

 

[TopCat]

Yuk!

 

[Crispy]

I think that's The Park, isn't it?

Ah yes, you'#re right

 

[Kanda]

So £150 each?

Not actually too bad really, to get out of the mud pit

£150 plus £195 ticket. So that's £345 each, or £2,070 in total for a group of six, all in one tipi (I'd wager most will have less than six people in them, mind, so it could be more than double the price).

Yeah, still don't think that's outrageous if you get to stay out of the mud

I didn't go this year because I can't even afford a ticket before you have a pop

 

[editor]

You're still going to have crawl through muddy boglands if you want to see any bands though

You would have thought they would have wifi so you could stream the BBC coverage to your iPad! Outrageous!!

 

[smmudge]

Pff those tipis have nothing on Camp Kerala!

Give it a day and it'll be a quagmire too.

I'd expect an aerial walkway where I could throw down raw sewage over the oiks below. At the very least.

 

[Crispy]

eight thousand pounds

 

[Kanda]

eight thousand pounds

I'd want an excrement cannon aimed at the oiks for that!
