I can't recall ever being put out by a flag at Glastonbury.

Talking of flags, I managed to stumble across this yesterday. It kind of resonates with me;

Beer, cigs, loads of lighters, poncho, change of clothes, pocket tissues, cash, phone, 2x boxes wine, mini cheddars, lube.

I was behind a guy with a japanese flag at Hot Chip annnnnd Chemical brothers. Still didn't stop me from having a good time.

I was with you all the way until lube. I'd easily swap lube for some ointment of some nature anyday. The two and eight my arse gets in to with the trots defies my own human comprehension. Just got to rub some ointment on them red cherries after a while.

You need an emergency Imodium now and then, Yog.

Hello lucy

I don't really use the stuff. For some, presumably perverted, reason I go for the pain and ointment angle in this area. If truth be known I think it's best if I expell the remnants of what I put in to my system as fast as possible. Wouldn't want a toxic build up. Not only that but I genuinely love being in a turdis in the heat thinking I'm just about to expire.

Each to their own! I don't think there are any turdis' now (turdi?) but I'm sure you can find somewhere that will have similar effect.

I'm sure I've been in to a turdis at Glastonbury in recent years. Have I not? Maybe I'm mistaking the experience for other festivals. Haven't a clue - a little bit too stoned etc

You only ever need two types of thing:

• Food
• Non-Food

I really can't be arsed with taking any food now.  Just a couple of cereal bars for the queue.

3 hats. 

In case you lose / accidentally need to shit in one.

I always end up buying at least one hat at Glastonbury.  Somehow me and the other half have accumulated 28 hats over the last few years...

What is it with festivals and hats? I've bought and/or lost enough hats over the years to open a shop. And I don't even like wearing tha bastard things.

I find E45 quite good in a time of sore burning need.

There's loads of Turdi at the back of the other stage field. Had a near death experience in one myself a couple of years ago.

Definitely not any more - all long drops and a batch of compost loos on our old camping spot

Fair enough, didn't really spend any time there last year. I'm sure the compost bogs by oxylers are well looked after

Then you're either brave or foolish, I wouldn't dream of turning up to 5 days of funky food and cider without at least a 24 pack of Rennie's and a couple of immodium for just in case 

I suffer from acid reflux so medication for that anyway (no need for rennies), I've never had a problem with the food & cider in all the festivals and don't like Imodium tbh

In addition to all the other great suggestions above these have made my ultimate list

1. A really good pair of walking boots & insoles. The amount of walking and dancing you do you really feel the difference! 

2. A festival trolly. B&Q £30 one has done me years and is a life saver lumping your gear to camp

3. Portable shower.  Not the solar type, the pressurised one! Nothing better waking up after a heavy day/night in a greenhouse of a tent and having a refreshing shower! Long gone are the days of wet wipes thank god

4. And a really good ice box! Cold cider/lager/beer for the whole festival is awesome....plus makes sure the bacon is fresh for breakfast 

Buy quality and it lasts festival after festival!

I almost feel that if you buy a hat there, then you should leave it there... A symbol of you leaving a bit of yourself there to come back to next time..

 A big yes to the Coleman extreme, done 6 festivals with mine, ice cold beers/ water for 5 days

I don't take food anymore, apart from a bag of sweets (emergency sugar for when you're a bit twatted and realise you havent eaten for 2 days) and a couple of cereal bars. No point taking things you don't need, and food is so cheap and lovely on sit!

the girls said your shower was a life saver last year. I also heard you were having steak for breakfast., that's practically glamping my friend.
