Strange conversations?

[pineapple-tea]

I saw a similar thread in the T in the Park board a couple of days ago and thought it was a good idea, SO...

So, what strange conversations have you had at Glastonbury?

The weirdest has got to be,

"if i were to have to teeth could i still eat corn on the cob"

"yes, but you would have to buy it in tins"

wtf?!

[disasterplan44]

"On the back of the Pyramid Stage they've got one of them rock climbing walls and they make all the bands go on it. When everyone's asleep I'll show you."

"It would be good if the whole world was Lego and I could move all the bricks around."

Drugs.

After a rather spaced out moment round the campfire, I tried to say the following the sentence.

"Is the corn used for popcorn the same as other types of corn or are they different?"

Only it came out as...

"Is the porn they use for cop porn the same as other types of porn or are they different?"

I will never live it down!

I told this tale just at the weekend but I think it's a good one....

You know when you're just sat around your campfire in a circle with friends and someone very wasted wanders through your camp and you get a bit of banter going? Well, one day, this bloke came bumbling through, scratching his head, looking confused. We asked him if he was ok......'errr, yeah, fine thanks, but I can't find my badger, did you see a badger come through this way?'

We decide to wind him up up a bit, play with him slightly, so we tell him, 'yeah, it wandered through not so long ago and headed off in that direction'. He thanks us and continues on his way in the direction we have pointed. We laugh, and continue with our drinking game.

So, a few hours pass, quite a few in fact, and we're still sat in our circle, playing daft drinking games....when this group of people come wandering along. One of them approaches us and asks 'excuse me, you didn't see a bloke just come by here did you? Looking for a badger?'

So, did they play us as much as we'd tried to play their friend (was it set up from the start that he would search for his badger and then they would search for him)? Was it a strange coincidence? Was it real??

In the end we all kind of looked at each other very confused and pointed the group in the direction we had sent the bloke looking for his badger

So, what strange conversations have you had at Glastonbury?

[/quote My wife and I were making our way back to our tent about 2 in the morning when we stopped for a coffee and something to eat at a large snack bar with tables and chairs inside a small marqee.

It was really quiet and we were the only ones sitting at a table when a guy sat down beside us. He had a glove puppet of one of the Wombles on one of his hands and proceeded to ask us through the puppet where he could find a wine bar.

I don't know if it was tiredness or what but we both started chatting to him and found ourselves directing our chat to Uncle Bulgaria and spent 10 mins chatting about how things had been and where we'd been before the guy stood up and wandered off.

It was one of those non music things that make visits to Glastonbury memorable.

Here's to many more weird conversations lol

I didn't hear this but read it in Festival Eye; Bloke goes into the long drop and settles himself down for a lengthy call of nature. Female voice comes from next stall:

F: Hi how are you doing?

M (a bit confused): Er, OK thanks

F: So, what are you doing later?

M: Well you know, the usual, see a few bands and that.

F: So, do you want to meet up later?

M (a bit freaked): Well, maybe, you know, I'm meeting my mates.

F: Look, I've got to go, some weirdo in the next toilet keeps answering my questions, I'll call you back.

My friend and her sister had a fantastic conversation to the effect of

"If you saw a dog in a long drop would you go in and save it?"

"No"

"If you saw a baby in a long drop would you go in?"

"Yeah its a baby!"

"If I fell in the long drop would you save me?"

"No"

"Whaaaaat!!!?"

I don't know if this would count but... Last year I had a strange conversation with Beth Ditto about how much I enjoyed their set. However I don't actually know if the conversation actually happened or if it was a dream brought on by alcohol and tiredness.

Oooh, I've woken up many a time wondering if that strange conversation I had with the guy in the banana suit, or the girl with no hair was actually real.

It can be pretty disorientating.

[pineapple-tea]

That Friday was a really messy day though. I didn't even remember the Japanese girls I seemed to stalk. I still don't. I just had about seven photos taken of them / me with them watching Fratellis.

The girl with no hair could have been Britney, Natalie Portman in V For Vendetta or Sinead O'Connor. All wonderful crushes.

[TheBoyInTheBubble]

I'm a girl!

You can crush on them all you like, I'm still hoping for Brad Pitt.

Ouch, your friday sounded like fun? Why do you blokes always go for the Japanese?

I'm not really keen on getting that drunk PURELY because I can't remember anything and get paranoid about what I did.

[Josie's Cat]

Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta was the worst piece of acting I've ever seen in my life. My dog would have wiped the screen with her. And he's dead.

But in Leon the Professional - a million times better.

Speaking of Beth Ditto - have you seen the naked pic of her on the front of one of the music mags this week? You would REMEMBER if you'd spoken to her. Undoubtedly.

[pineapple-tea]

My Friday was loads of fun to be honest. And I didn't go for them because they were Japanese. It was definitely the Mischief Sprite on my shoulder because one of them was a good laugh and the other was rather serious. That just meant I wanted to make misery arse smile a bit more. And the most obvious way to do that was to act a bit daft...

And don't worry about not being able to remember. I really suffer with that and the paranoia related to it, but I now stick to the principle that the only things I don't remember are stupid embarrassing things. If you did anything seriously wrong, you'd remember.
