Funniest/Oddest things you've witnessed at Glastonbury

[Rolf Harris]

Some old fat Granny naked strumming away at the flesh guitar infront of the band stand in the green fields in 03.

the security tried to lob a blankett on her but she just threw it off and carried on.

put me off my special magazines for months.

[pie_and_a_pint]

theres some vids / pics in another thread somewhere. Or did you post them.?

[refriedgenes]

I saw that guy too - he was on the hill around about Leonard time and I thought he was on the phone trying to locate his mates in the crowd until he turned and I saw it was a banana. Brilliant.

1984/85 (can't remember which!) - watching an extremely stoned person wrapped in an electric blanket trying to find somewhere to plug it in

1993 - coming back from the stone circle around 6am and being chased by a telephone box (unintentionally - think whoever was in there wanted to play hide and seek!) all the way back to the NME stage

1993 - being up at the stone circle listening/watching a naked man in his mid 50's dancing round the stones whilst seranaded by his friends to bongo drums and singing a selection of Rod Stewart classics!

1993 - waking up to find someone in a body bag lying asleep on the side of my tent

1994 - a man with a cinema ushers tray round his neck coming round the field selling class A drugs

1994 - wandering around the site so stoned that me and a friend ended up in a country lane and couldnt find our way back for about two hours. When we eventually got back in we found a silver ball/tent thing and inside was a 70's disco. Never found it again - maybe the beginnings of Lost Vagueness

1997 - watching the pyramid stage sink in the mud and the Prodigy having to stop their performance. We were entertained by Dennis Pennis who sang a selection of Yiddish folk songs (if I recall)

Probably hundreds more but they stand out...........

James Brown was pretty odd in 2004, about 3/4 of his gig was him being introduced by his band.

[bazza]

couple of years ago (can't remember which) we headed up to the stone circle in the early evening to buy some goodies!! The place was pretty empty so we sat down, sparked up and took in the view.

Anyway coming up the hill in front of us from the green fields was this guy around 50ish wearing a hi-viz jacket with a 10ft high mast strapped to his back with a plastic seagul on a bit of string dangling just above his head!

As he walked towards us he was shouting, "trips, LSD, acid..................trips, LSD, acid"

This young lad ran up to him and said "Hi, can I buy some acid please"

To which the bloke with the seagul said "selling it, I'm not F***ing Selling it............I want to f**ing buy it!!!!!"

ha ha ha

4am Friday Morning 08

Me and my mate being awoken by 3-4 'people' touching/rubbing/licking our tent in the assumption it was covered in speed.

Turned out they were actually walking past our tent, and as they did this, ripped open a bag of speed which ended up all over our tent. it then drained away in the rain (hence, i can only assume, the licking).

They also tried licking it off the floor, but that was only our rice from the thursday afternoon.

This was my first glastonbury. Fantastic.

Seriously mate, you've got mental health problems - you need to see someone. I really don't know why people like you are allowed on these forums. You clearly have nothing better to do with your life than sit on your crappy laptop, writing venomous posts and pissing everyone off. Get a life you shit brained arsewipe.

PS I dont have a picnic basket because unlike you I'm not some middle class, tory voting twat with wool between my ears.

PPS But please....feel free to try.........

[planetcat]

All the people, so many people...they all go hand in hand, hand in hand through their...Parklife

That was probably the last time you bought a cd - bet that impresses your equally backward and ignorant friends when they pop round for nibbles

[mandypants]

I'd like to play poke the n00b with big sticks

[planetcat]

IS THERE ANYONE NORMAL ON THESE FORUMS?????

I only popped on to chat to other people who love glastonbury and this tonyonekenobi loser is just ruining my evening. Instead of sitting here enjoying the build up to the best festival ever I'm having to sit here thinking up abuse.
