Technodanceaphobic Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Its weird isnt it you get back from the Festival and if you are like me, i like to continue to wear the wristband cos its a reminder of the weekend and the madness that took place, its odd when i go out i want people to take recognition of the wristband even though no one cares or takes notice. Mine will be probably be removed in about a week or so, but what about everyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin_sideparting Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I like to keep the wristbands but to be honest the V one was a bit naff looking with CAMPING in big letters on it and hardly anything to show its V festival. When you take it off do you get the phantom wristband thing going on where you feel like its still there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glc1983 Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Wanted to leave mine on, but it was put on pretty tight and the little metal thing was as irritating as f**k so I had to cut the wristband off. Was a shame when I did it, it was like a symbolic thing that signalled the end of the festival Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyM Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I took mine off PDQ, can't have the students at work thinking I'm cool, nor can I let work know that I wasn't actually ill on Friday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocscoffer Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I took mine off in the car on the way home. I still have my Glastonbury one on though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickster*arsenal Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 had to take mine off when I got home even though I didn;t want to, but it was muddy and I tried washing it but annoyed me as it was all wet. Took it off and have a nice white line now as I got a bit sunburnt on the Friday!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimmy Posted August 20, 2008 Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 I work at KFC so mine will have to come off as soon as I go to my next shift, otherwise raw chicken will touch it, then contaminate cooked chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarbearcow Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Got sliced off the min ute I got home before I jumped in the shower. There is no way I want some stinky bit of rag round my wrist any longer than necassary. I work in University Accommodation and on arrivals day we play spot the wrist band on all the new students. Its amazing how quickly they come off during the first week when they realise that having a line of bands on their arm doesn't make them as "unique" as it did in their old towns. My advice to anyone going to uni this year is take them off now and save yourself a job in freshers week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsgaz Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I had to take mine off yesterday as I had a client meeting and my boss thought it looked unprofessional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluter Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I was quite happy to go off to uni for the first time with my Reading wristband still on. It was a good conversation starter and a change from the usual 'so where've you come from/what you studying/what A levels etc. But then I wasn't wearing mine to be unique.

Chris_W Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) Somebody had taken there's off on the shuttle bus and left it on the seat, so I nabbed it as I got off. (I was a day-ticketer) Result edit: Twas fully intact btw, hadn't been cut Edited August 21, 2008 by Chris_W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hothedgehog Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 mine's still on... i haven't quite come to grips with the fact that v was the lst cool thing that i had lined up for my summer... keeping it on is prolonging my summer enjoyment! anyway... haven't quite decided whether to keep it on for uni... part of me says yes because it will be a slightly more original ice breaker bt then the other part says no because it was my first festival wristband and i don't really want to lose it. Anyway, i reckon that i can just about slide it off without cutting it! huzzah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
