It was so amazing, I was convinced I must be imagining it.
-As you do...
I'm green with envy that you heard it 6 years earlier than me !

anyone know if the urbanite encampment was badly affected ?

Don't worry, I'm sure I wasn't the very first person to ever hear it or anything.
A tune's a tune isn't it, and the first time you hear it is always special to you.
-Where or whenever that might be!

(mind you some of the venues in Bristol have ill-defined toilet / dance floor boundaries .. but at least you get to go home afterwards )

That's beyond grim, it almost looks like a piss take of a washed out Glastonbury
and I heard half of that is the stream that runs gold with piss.typerighter said:That's beyond grim, it almost looks like a piss take of a washed out Glastonbury
Some festival goers appear to have completely lost the instinctive understanding of why camping at the bottom of a slope might not be a particularly good idea.
In all seriousness though... -I imagine the health implications of having shit-infested flood waters like we've seen this year will mean certain areas like that will have to be made off limits to campers in future years.
Got the rucksacks Baz!

Thank you!
Everyone's been giggling away and I feel like the annoying worrying mother cos Ive been thinking about this all day! (So much so that I secretly wish I was there to aid people
)*runs away embarrassed*

One hopes the organisers will help the victims out ...

No.

All of the people who camped by the stream must have been new to the Glastonbury experience cos you know people spend the whole weekend weeing in it. I don't think I would have considered the bottom of the slope implications. Although it has been hellishly muddy before, we haven't seen this kind of flooding. i reckon next year they should have some snow - liven things up abit (more).

I'm sure we'll regret this when our fellow urbanites return and read all this

The weather good or bad is part of the being outside experience of Glastonbury. And if it is your tent that gets burnt down/ washed away/ blown up, then you might make the local papers and it would be a story to tell the grandkids.
I sure urbanites at Glastonbury will all look back at this and laugh.........
corporate whore
oh, thought you were dead
Fucking hell those pics look much, much worse than anything I experienced in the 10 I've been to.
Mind you, if people will camp at the bottom of the hill..

My wife takes ages studying the local topography before she will pitch a tent anywhere.
(We have yet to be flooded out yet)

That's almost as long ago as me! The last time I went was 1985.
