See, now I like the flags - they add to the atmosphere/uniqueness imo.

If they're going to ban stuff, they should start with gazebos.

I like the flags and things-on-ends-of-sticks. As for the latter, the more pathetic the better in my opinion.

Were any of the NSCers on this thread amongst those who shouted "Yeeeeah" when Attila asked if there were any Seagulls in attendance when he did his thing in the Cabaret tent at 2:15 on Saturday?

I appeared mid way through Atilla's set on Saturday when my boys came out of the tent all excited that they saw someone in a Brighton tee shirt. Not there for the 'any seagulls bit' but cheered some of the great digs at Palace.

Who was the guy in the Phoenix Brewery top that I shouted seagulls too? Anyone on here?

Good to see an absence of Palarse shirts this year, a definite improvement on last year.

Anyone see Empores Sha (or similar name) in the circus big top? She was on before the no pain circus act. Did her act clad in only gold dust and pulled things out of her fanny and rubbed herself all over with liquid squeezed from a device clamped between her thighs. All very strange and probably not suitable for my two boys, who managed to get front row space!

The no pain circus act that followed was utterly gruesome, specially the bit where the guy pulled a condom from his arse and snorted it up his nose and through his mouth - grim!!! Probably why they only show the music I guess.

Did the "no pain" act include a strong man type bloke who hung concrete (or something similarly heavy) from nipple piercings, followed by some bloke lying on nails having a motorbike driven over him?

If so, I caught a bit of it - well the bits I've just mentioned actually - when I was staggering back from The Wonderstuff on Saturday night.

Hardly unique any more though are they. IOW was full of em, as I'm sure V and Reading will be.

Got a bit out of hand during the headline acts as their were so many of the bloody things!

This one that a group of smurphs had made me chuckle though.

Yes - that was the one. Just before the motorbike bit he had balloons stapple gunned to his back. They were then popped with darts thrown at them from his friends. Also hung heavy blocks from his eyelids. Woman hammering a nail into her nose too - its all coming back now and I don't like it at all!

Glastonbury is now so middle class it literally HURTS.

Might as well be RUDDY V...

Richard, you little TINKER!

Was just flicking though the Glasto preview in the current (unless you're in London) issue and there's a section on 'do's and don'ts', where I drew this quote *lickstipoffinger*...

"Don't moan about "how middle class Glastonbury's become" until you've checked first as to whether your dad a)mines coal, b)makes car parts or c)carries a hod. If the answer is d) is a teacher, manager, accountant, consultant, life coach, etc, then remind yourself that for all the 'earthy' qualities you feel you may possess, you are ultimately part of the alledged problem, not the alledged solution"

This is the beauty of Glastonbury....you rarely venture out and just see a band.....all manner of amusing things happen along the way.
