I hate the fact before I opened this thread I knew it would be everyone just having a big old moan mainly about the band who they don't like and don't want 'ruin' their Glastonbury, however I was stupid enough to open the thread and even read it!

[Peache Calhoon]

I like this thread its very therapeutic and it make me laugh

[Conrax]

All the fuss about Jay-z, I'm not sure how long his set was, but if felt like about 40 minutes. A drop in the ocean of 5 entertaining days!

What, by not being there?

[Josie's Cat]

...MORRISSEY is God

[Dave F.]

Ok

Faithless are absolutely rubbish, really truly awful. And that's even before they step on stage.

Every time I hear them interviewed, I cringe.

People who take umbrellas to Glastonbury. FFS! wear a cagoule! They block my view & poke my eyes out. Leave them at home!

People who say G. is so commercial these days, but have only been 2 or 3 times. Having food stalls is not commercial. Punters have to eat!.

More to follow...

[tazzyb]

hmm let me think

well if bruce is playing I will be as far away as possible. Same goes for neil young.

I cannot understand why anyoone likes faithless or morissey for that matter.

hmm who else oh kate nash = crap

people who take umbrellas to festivals should be shot and whats with the big tall festival hats???? You would not wear them day to day why do you think its cool as a festival.

I hate the silly little girls who spend more time worrying about what they look like then having a good time. Bloody go home!

I am going to stop now I could go on forever!

[Josie's Cat]

People do loads of things at festivals they don't do at home though. That's kind of the point of a festival. Got no prob with hats.

But as this is negativity thread I have to say something negative - stupid shoes!! Seen girls in heels at festivals, or even bloody worse BARE FEET. That's just asking to be stepped on/cut/infected.

[bunchy]

Then I've never been so happy to be an atheist!

[Red_Eye_Jedi]

I hate blur.

[Dave F.]

I hate blur.

[no1_foxymama]

I like this thread!

Oasis

Arctic Monkeys

Kasabian

The Killers

The Rascals (walked down friday morning excited as about seeing BYOP and had to sit through that shit)

The Frattellis

Pigeon Detectives

The Kooks

Basically, all those types of bands who say nothing to me about my life (to quote a man I am rather fond of) yet insist that somehow their blinkered observations sang over dull chord changes and infuriatingly tedious oi-oi footy boy repetitive melodies. HATE em. Thankfully, I adore Jazz/World, Park and John Peel so mostly they're easily avoidable

[Josie's Cat]

Wellie washers! Ha!

At Waveform, in silly knee deep mud, I saw quite a few people walking around in socks/bare feet - CARRYING their boots. Why would anyone do this? I really was perplexed.

[benisright]

Group of people did one of these for reading festival. A lot of the same themes come up.

Fashion

1. Any sort of glasses that are not used for protection from the sun and instead used as some trendy fashion statement

2. Wellies when it's dry

3. Wellies covered in flowers whatsoever

4. Girls wearing denim skirts with tights underneath

5. Ugg Boots

6. Fringes

7. those stupid white shirts with in big black text "DROP BEATS NOT BOMBS" or another of their stupid hippee-themed nonsense.

8. Loads of necklaces to look like Mr. T

9. Girls with those annoying "indie" scarfs.

10. Boys with those annoying "indie" scarfs.

11. Boys wearing skinny jeans.

12. Fat girls wearing skinny jeans.

13. Those sunglasses that look like something Willy Wonka patented.

14. Glowstick kids. You know the ones I mean. The ones that wear flurescent pink net skirts, black tops, big puffy messy hair and wave glowsticks around to every single band.

15. Those scenester orange "jesus army" crucifixes.

Actions/People in the Main Arena

1. Flags

2. Zanyness on any scale. That includes dressing up like a twat for 'a laugh' to much of what LnR promote.

3. Anyone with a penis sitting on someones shoulders.

4. Anyone, including the band, making eye contact with the camera.

5. People who push and hit you without saying thanks/sorry

6. People that sit down on the floor right at the front of the crowd

7. People who throw kicks and punches and general dojo **** when they try to hardcore dance or mosh

8. Couples that are ALL OVER eachother ALL THE TIME.

9. girls in mosh pits

10. kids in mosh pits

11. Radio 1 presenters. They can talk about it and broadcast the music. But under no circumstances should a presenter be on site and act like they are "getting muddy".

12. Anyone ever complaining about the pit being too heavy, complaining about being pushed during slayer etc.

People in the campsite

1. People who have ever said the line, "well my parents do cannabis with me all the time, its normal yah?" (i actually heard someone say this last year...made me feel ill)

2. Children under the age of 15 and over the age of 9. Regardless of if they are being escorted

3. Anyone over the age of 30 who has not been before must be escorted by someone who has.

4. Free Hugs

5. High 5's

6. Anyone camping in the MyHab or Tangerine Fields

7. Anyone doing anything wacky to be cool and stand out - sorry, but you don't

8. Washing hair at the tap

9. Over zealous security

10. The idiots in the campsites who thing it's funny to throw stuff at people they dont know.

11. anyone who mentions gcse's

12. anyone who mentions gcse results as a reason why they are getting to reading late

13. Anyone who thinks a band is something they are not; e.g. Eliot Minor are 'heavy', The Enemy are 'legendary' etc.
