Funniest/Oddest things you've witnessed at Glastonbury

OK. I'll start. Totally forgot about this until earlier today. At about 1/2am Sunday morning, after watching Jay-Z, I was having a bit of a wander and came across the cinema field. Saw that Iron Man was, good film, so sat down to watch the last 15 minutes and have a bit of a breather. After 5 mins or so I noticed what looked like a 2 headed person rhythmically rocking in front of me, in the middle of the field. After letting my eyes adjust to the dark I realised that it was in fact a young lady riding her boyfriend/husband/random stranger like a Grand National winner. Made me laugh my ass off. Great entertainment anyone would think I was in Manumission!

'07, think it was Thursday morning. We wandered past the John Peel tent, and saw 2 punks have a slow motion fight. We stopped to observe. One of them managed to connect with a punch to the other, knocking him stone cold out. He then got down and cuddled his friend, and tried to bring him round. When his mate came to, he headbutted the guy who was helping him and knocked him out! This continued for a while until the eventually walked off with their arms round each other.

2007 saturday night: just seen Gruff Rhys on the Avalon stage, not sure where to go next, but my mate (female) was desperate for a wee. The queues were massive, she was suitably refreshed, and found a secluded area in the hedge. A minute or two later, she came out clutching herself.....that's right she'd sat on the nettles.

Remember kids, there's more than one reason not to piss in the hedges. :D

Three fro me

1 whilst laying down in 95 a group of full on Hari Chrishnas did two laps of the green patch were I was each time each of them stepped over me. I was in stitches.

2 97 sat around the camp fire. a guy with huge spiked hair stumbled across tripped over a guy rope and fell in the fire. We pulled him out of it and he shared his propper ganj with us. When ever we spoke to him his response was I'm f**ked. A couple of hours went past of us calling him f**ked when he got up said his name was Dilbert not f**ked and walked off. A True Glasto legend!

3 The next night another guy joined us at the fire place. We were a little bit (VERY) off our faces and he felt it was a good place to stop and have a chat. He had cool shades on and a beanie hat. He called himself Sonic??????? We enjoyed the fire and in the morning he got up and asked if we knew where his tent was. He apparently had got to site on Wednesday and had not seen his tent since!

These are the 3 that spring to mind at the moment

Think it was 92 was wondering around at about 3am, a very nice person threw up the most disgusting pile of vomit I had ever seen right in my path

Then looked up and gave me a very evil smile and just walked off

The year Paul Oakenfold headlined the other/nme stage (99 ?) was walking ask to my tent at about 5am , a good 5 hours after he finished

A very drunk person wandered up and asked me what time he was playing. After I told him he was a bit late then fell backwards into a rubbish bin and passed out

2 people performing oral sex behind the speaker stack late at night in the gay disco last year !

Although its quite funny, I find it quite sad that these days anything odd has to become someones next photo opportunity. I prefer it when everyone can be the weird individuals they are without feeling like a circus attraction.

Not disrespecting though as it is rather funny :D

2007, my only time at Glasto until this year, but more than my fair share of bizarre sights, will bullet point:

>Tent next to us having a threesome at 6 am Sunday Morning

>An ice-cream truck having difficulty driving through the mud then getting stuck trying to get over a path and eventually getting towed

>After seeing The Killers and busting for the loo, went to the urinals, turned around as my ate came in and said hi and saw two women, squatting and had the unfortunate luck for my eyes to, for lack of a better word, look in to the eye of the tiger!

>A couple getting into an argument and the the gf/wife/lover, rugby tackled him in to the mud and began to write around in it while people gathered round and laughed.

>Seeing the Pyramid Stage empty after The Who and it looking like the aftermath of a war-zone

>The Magic Numbers doing a impromptu acoustic show, right in front of my tent

>My mates mate, turning up on site on Friday with no wellies or jacket and within 2 minutes of getting through the gates, slipped over and fell into someone's tent

>Me and said mate jumping up and down to The Automatic, then realised we had splashed the entire back of the person in front of us with mud

>Bill Bailey

I'm sure there's more but I'm very tired.

Upon thinking about it and all those great memories, why the f*ck didn't we go last year???

Just seen that Frank Sinazi clip, reminds me of a great guy called Richard Cheese who does lounge act covers of popular songs.

Best covers are Rape Me by Nirvana, Enter Sandman by Metallica nad there was another one I can't think of.

Last year, Sunday night in Avalon, there was a bloke sprayed silver, wearing just a pair of silver hotpants and a pair of silver DMs who tied himself to a metal wheel which turned while being set on fire, and all the while Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire was playing. And all I could thhink of was 'bloody hell, I hope that paint isn't flammable...'
