The Festival thread

[WaltonRed]

I have decided to take your lead, i've got a bucket and a packet of tena ladies to line and absorb what goes in each each carrier bag,

 

 

I've also decided to take a neutradol freshener, just in case.

 

Use bingbags and make sure you have no holes in the bottom.

 

Also make sure you place the pot on evenish ground in the tent as balancing can be a problem.

 

Last of all, there are gentlemans rules which need to be applied:

 

1. Notify people discreetly whats going on

2. No ones allowed to shout you

3. Shake the tent

4. Take photo's.

I just dont like the heat, Glasto was bad enough this year being boiling.

 

That must have been a nightmare for the shitty smell in your tent!

It goes after about 30 seconds Michael!

 

I was sweating like a bastard whilst shitting though

[Faustus]

Shitting in a bucket? Get a grip, Mick lad!

 

Man up and get squatting over the long drops!

You shit in the bag, the bucket is a mini loo.

 

Its like being royalty.

 

I love it and make no excuses about it.

 

Why should I wait for the loo's to be cleaned or such shit.

 

Taking control of my own shitting destiny is the ultimate in 'manning up'

 

Moaning about smell and indeed poohing in said bucket is a bit limp wristed!

Sunday caught The Maccabies, Los Compesinos and Jeff Tweedy, The Maccabies bored me after about two songs, they sounded great, very good riffs from bass and guitar, but the lead singer just did not make me want to watch them, no excitement.

 

Los Camposinos, didn't like them at all, the singer came across as a tit, and I added him to my own personal shit list.

 

Jeff.

 

Pretty much how I felt about both bands after seeing them at liverpool academy, the lead singer of los compesinos came across as a complete wanker and the the lead singer of the maccabees was nice but boring.

 

Anyone going to bestival in the isle of wight?

[Faustus]

Thinking of taking the plunge tomorrow and getting a Leeds ticket off Ebay when I get paid.

 

Looking at doing it on the cheap though. Never been so what's the ale situation like? Is it like Glasto where you can take ale in with you or is it £3+ for a shitty cup of flat lager?

You can take ale with you for by the tent, of buy it from the on site shops for about 20-25 a crate.

 

You cant take any of that in the arena bit though, you get searched so its shitty ale from the bars in there!

Just looking at the line up as well on their website. Not too impressed apart from the Friday night.

Funnily enough, you used to be able to take ale in when it was sponsored by carling. Now you can't. As for tickets, not sure how much they're going for on eBay but viagogo had a couple for £200 a couple of weeks ago and Scarlet mist had a load face value.

All my hard earned effort wasn't needed after all. The toilets were fantastic for most of the weekend. Only occasionally not having loo roll.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Already ordered my tickets for Camp Bestival for next year on the early bird option. For those with kids i couldn't recommend it highly enough.

No you couldnt.

 

You've never been able to take your own booze in to the arena.

 

I'm gutted i'm not going this year, been the last 5

We were allowed in 05. Maybe just a lapse of security...

[WaltonRed]

You can sneak cans through like but not many.

 

I was there in 05' listened to the super cup final on the radio by the tent! boss night.

I'll be volunteering behind the bar there and can tell you now it's be the best part of £4 a pint and will probably be Tuborg lager and you may have to pay £2 deposit for a cup. My advice - and what I'll be doing is to take loads of spirits with you in a plastic bottle, also easier to smuggle into the arena.

[23_Carra_Gold]

Buy big wellies, you can fit a few cans down the front of them. And like Remmie says just bring spirits in. Easier to sneak.
