or perhaps dub could keep on argueing with himself
I though dub was arguing with me
Or at least abusing me with cuntish one-liners.
I'm happy to indulge in a straight 'Dub War' Dubversion.
You will lose, like all the other's at my school some 20 years ago.
Still not got a response to my 'spunkbubblebitchmattress'
Must be cos he/she can't muster more than one syllable of abuse.
Dubversion my arse.
Fucker can't even dub proper.
Dub.

Why's that then? Is it on or not?
Cyberfairy said it's not on at all really and that the thread is a wind up for generating more posts in our war with the Welsh.
If it is on, I'll accept someone slipping me a free ticket.
I won't tell anyone.
But if I bump into Bono, me and him are having words!

There's been nothing on the news or anything.

They have sharpened leeks being used as spears and they're playing Sterophonics latest album very loudly

I've never seen boobs like that either.
And I wouldn't say that eavis is a cunt, but I don't like glastonbury since it got too big.

No, I'm the cunt, I was told. Eavis isn't a cunt, but the way in which people fail to question the excessive corporatisation of this, and other festivals, makes people look a little more than sheeplike suckers in my book.
Corporate brainwash.
But I'm sure the festival is still loads of fun.
But anyone who calls anyone a cunt for questioning the all pervasiveness of corporatism into every cranny of our lives, may as well just go the whole hog and volunteer themselves as unpaid, brainless corporate gimps.
(More flame war please!)

That's not fair.
I was hoping to be called a cunt again so as to have any excuse for more vitrolic anti-corporate spew.

munkeeunit, you great, flapping cunt.
Well, now you've called me a cunt (just like I asked but we'll forget about that) my dissillusionment with corporate festivals took place when I attended the VFestival in 2000 (which makes the link between Branson and Eavis too, although Branson long since flogged the Virgin records brand.)
On the gates everyone was being fully searched (not just padded) but bags and everything. Anything vaguely alcoholic was promptly snatched and smashed into big skips.
Everyone was then forced to buy watered down Carling at £3 per pint for the entire festival (I've now pledged never to buy carling ever again).
Every gate and every compound and every field had security on it, and you had to be subjected to padding down and searches almost everytime you moved from one area to another, literally.
On the first night there was no entertainment, and out of sheer boredom people took to making little fires out of their overpriced cardboard carling cups.
It was then that the sheer nannying state of this festival came into full view. A tiny little 2 seater miniatrure fire engine hurriedly appeared, and proceeded to put out all the little cardboard carling fires with foam.
It was embarrassing for all concerned.
The entire festival was a prison with corporate music and overpriced corporate beer which was only purchased as everyone's private supplies had been smashed in big skips.
The sheerr corporate control and fear of anything even vaguely outside of their control, was a mockery of not just free festivals, but festivals period.
Glastonbury is on a similar path.

I hope you're right, but once a standard of control has been set, such as with the Virgin Festivals, heath and safety laws will be used against us to achieve the rest.
Glastonbury may well be a bigger, more entrenched, complex beast, but it can't remain immune to corportate control, and any complacency about that will be the foot used to kick open the door and finally rip out the heart of free festivals (both in terms of how much it costs and how much freedom you have on site.)

According to several people I was chatting to backstage at glastonbury last year in various media jobs, Mean Fiddler now have a controlling interest in Glastonbury and it will soon be all billboards and the like with Micheal effectively selling up. Vince himself was strutting around like he owned the place already 
Could all be bollocks but if it is, a lot of people seem to believe it..i for one, hope it is. Glastonbury is certainly more commercial but has still retained impressive ethical and alternative creditials for such a huge event. i would rather chew my limbs off than go to Reading or the like ever again after the last overpriced soulsapping leeching of indiekids money and spirit that i had the misfortune to attend

i believe the reverse is true, and the 3 year relationship between Glastonbury and MF (imposed on Glastonbury because of licencing problems in 2000) is actually over.

I certainly hope soDubversion said:
Does that mean we will all have free milk again? 
cyberfairy said:I certainly hope so
god knows
william might know more, but basically after the fiasco of 2000, the cops / council etc basically said they'd refuse Eavis a licence unless he worked with more 'professional' concerns (ie The MEan Fiddler). this was primarily to cover fencing, ticketing, that sort of shit.. i THINK it was a 3 year deal and that has run it's course. Eavis has definitely gone on record saying he hated the whole experience, can't stand the Mean Fiddler etc. But Glastonbury simply wouldn't have been able to continue without that - hopefully short-term - affiliation..

Watch out, Orange may be interested, and they'll literally turn the whole place fucking Orange. A few years back they 'donated' towards Bristol's xmas street lights, and what were they? Huge fucking Orange adverts with nothing much to do with Xmas.
Ashton Court has turned Orange.
Bristol is turning Orange.
Like with Carling, I will now not buy anything Orange.
Corporate backlash is the future.
