The Poolie Bunker

gutted not to be there, as will 1,000's of others
so why don't the beeb show live coverage via the red button thing?

they've had womens tennis on it all week

its obviously not an impossibility, so why don't they do it?
it'll sell out regardless...


ho-hum


still loooking forward to watching whatever coverage is on - once I'm back in from that lash thing we go out on

yeah but you like shagging car exhausts...

its just rained again!

but they'll roll around in the mud as soon as they start to get clean

Its on BBC 4 old chap, dont you have it?

I'm absolutely gutted i'm not there. Regardless of the weather. I've been there 6 times now and totally enjoyed every minute of it.

I have never experienced an atmosphere like the one at Glastonbury and have never been to a musical event to even come close!

Gutted

One question about Glastonbury, Why do loads of people take flags? What is the point surely you go to watch the music not wave a stupid flag about.

see someone elses quite re commercial social calender

never been

wanted to

didnt get round to it

aint gonna go now

doesnt look now what it was describd as fifteen+ years back

The first time i went was 1997 and the last time was 2004. I've been 6 times and it gets more corporate by the year. That still doesn't detract from the enjoyment of it all though.

I would urge anyone to go at least once, if they are a music fan or not.

I remember in 2002 on the Saturday night. The choice of headline acts on the main stages were The Stereophonics (shyte) and Orbital (great, but i'd seen them many times before), so me and my mate Greg just went for a wander. Took on Manu Chao on the Jazz World stage for a while and then headed up to the stone circle which was practically empty.

You can almost see the entire festival from up there and it was amazing to see it all in action from that distance.

I'm there next year, even if it means working at the festival!

Have you been to Glastonbury then ECG?

Nah. I went to the Leeds festival in 2000 or something. Bit on the rawk side for me.

Have you been to Glastonbury?

Have you been to Seaton Carew ECG?

I'm just surprised you've never been with you being into music and festivals etc.

The weather is a pain but it's great when it's dry.

I would recommend it to anyone!

yes I do
and its on beeb 3 an that too
and beeb 2

my point [not very well put,granted] was that they should do the red button thing all day long, as they do with tennis and snooker and stuff...

what you see on the telly is tip of the Glasto iceberg tho, its huge and has shed loads of stuff on


you cant fall off, unless it turns into a swamp, and even then its a right laugh

That's no age. I kid you not, I had a woman in her 70's or 80's going into the portaloo after i'd been in! Brave is not the word!

Our kid is 37 this year and i'm trying to convince him to go next year. Reckon he will an all.

There's a massive selection of music too. Iggy and the Stooges are headlining one of the stages tonight.

Is Elvis (the big fat American) ever going to Glasto?

If he does, I'll go

i'd honestly rather sleep in a tent than stay in reading, ignorance is in abundance with the people of reading.

worked there about 8 yrs ago the most miserable pack of tw@ts ive ever met, if they heard your northern accent they'd serve someone behind you in the queue 1st.

only people that would talk to us were students or other people working away from home.

How shit were the Kooks, I quite liked their debut album but they were either pissed or on somethign else, you coulldn't understand a word he was saying between songs.

Editors were on form though

nowt to add to that fensoir
kooks = sh it
editors = class [on now , bye]

EDIT kooks= sh itness personified

Agree that the Editors were good - reminded me of a scruffy Interpol (who I also like).

cock on









the killers
its funny, I were just thinking that they look a bit like Queen what the the moustache and the curly haired geetar player
then he does that call and response thing!!

eee


anyways
hitsville dem killa
couldn't get any artistic pleasure outta them, but theres hits there

Iggy was well good on a number of levels
musically
the stage invasion
and when he decked it - looked like he hurt himself an all...great entertainment that


------------------------


Maximo Park, MON THE PARK!!

did us proud I thunk

Did he do a record with Ian Rankin ??

Lily fecking Allen, how on dear Gods earth did her AND her feckwit father become famous I shall never ever ever know

It was good when The Specials got on stage with her though and sang Gangters!

ee by gum, i'm paying for my excesses today!


still, Iggy was about the best thing thus far!
I cant believe I half complimented the Killers! must've been the Gin....

more observations from the red button:

Mika is a qunt
"Paolo Nutini" sounds like Rab C Nesbitt
Get Cape Wear Cape Fly are fab
CSS are an entertaining bunch
Rodrigo y some spanish chick are utterly superb - those rythms were amazing
Paul Weller is the dullest man since fab Macca



thats all for now, dreading the Who and Kaiser Shites
could be a long night requiring alcyhol

salty defo agree with you about get cape,top band with a brain too.
also agree with those who said the killers were gash,the monkeys were excellent for me like was a bit surprised they got the headline this year but good show.
enjoyed watching the marleys,the editors,the maccabees so far.
can't have weller dissed he is the man

I thought the Manics and Paul Weller were both pretty good, but John Fogerty was excellent, apart from Rocking all over the World!

Been to Reading three times and Glasto twice - all between 1989 and 1991.
Musically Reading was the best
Experience wise, Glasto was the best
Simple as that
Off to Leeds this year for my first festival in seven years
The camping bit is great
