Funny things you saw/heard

[Spud001]

The crowd during Twin Atlantic in front of the mid-distance camera, hilarious.

We Are The Champions being played over the PA at Main Stage , Leeds and my mate saying

"I love ELO ! "

[TheBoz]

At Reading between Florence and Kasabian, we were pretty much bang on in the middle between the two barriers, in the middle of the stage, and some girl on the phone to her mate on someone's shoulders a few people in front shouts "wave if you can see me" , in which me and the surrounding crowd without saying a word to each other spontaneously start cheering and waving at her none stop for about 5 minutes.

When we calm down she shouts at us "You're all bellends!" Cue another 5 minutes of waving and cheering at her by the end of which everyone was in hysterics!

It was just brilliant!

- Nicking a kid's guitar in Orange, playing MMM Bop and attracting an instant crowd of about 50, then giving it back and walking away like a boss. I enjoyed that.

While waiting for Bullet and the announcer guy put Chop Suey on....ensue a mass sing along of

mumblemumblemublemumble.....YOU WANTED TOO!

The guy dancing on top of the ice cream van in front of the bar opposite the main stage at Leeds, and the two people inside looking rather confused as to why their van was rocking.

The security throwing a guitar pick to the remnants of the crowd after Social D, resulting in a mass pile-on of bodies, then seeing my mate crawl out of the pile, holding said pick and grinning like a loon.

There was a guy sat in the middle of the path in Orange on Sunday night with legs crossed as if he was meditating. He didn't move for what must have been over an hour. Eventually he attracted a crowd of dickish kids convinced he was 'off his face' who started waving hands in front of his eyes (he didn't blink) and pushing him forwards and back (he didn't flinch). He took a lot of poking and prodding and didn't so much as bat an eyelid.

Eventually a security person joined the crowd and told the guy that it was time to stop having a laugh and he needed to move because he was endangering others. To which the guy who didn't seem to have drawn breath for the last hour simply looked up at the guy and started talking. (I swear at this point some of the clustered 16 year olds actually jumped back). Their conversation (which I can only paraphrase) was one of the highlights of my Sunday night.

Guy: 'You can't be serious. I am sitting still. How am I causing a problem?'

Security: (thinks a second) 'Well, for starters, if an ambulance needed to get through, you'd be in the way'

Guy: 'I'm not going to block an ambulance. I'd move at that point'

Security: 'Well you need to move now, you can't sit here'

Guy: (whilst leaving) 'This is ridiculous. I can't light a fire, I'm not allowed to sit still. What the fuck is there that I can do?'

Walking down a road in Orange camp, Reading fest, and saw two lads strolling past wearing Police Bobby hats carrying truncheons whilst having the old school theme tune from "The Bill" blaring from their CD player!

[SpecialAgentKit]

when one direction came on in the silent disco, everyone was loving it!

grabbing some randomer to shield a guy as he peed in a cup (he really didn't want to be there)

[DARE]

Walking towards the toilets at Leeds in the Village to suddenly have 5 or 6 guys come running out dressed as cereal boxes, quite confusing at the time...

[emmab155]

@ Leeds:

The guys near our tent in red shouting 'Butt Scratcher!' a la Family Guy, which soon turned into 'Margaret Thatcher's Snatch Scratcher!'

One girl's hot pants that were waaaay too small. Did not leave much to the imagination.

Duct tape man wandering around the main stage on Friday. Covered from head to toe.

While I'm on duct tape..The poor guy who's 'mates' sat him on a camping chair and taped him to one of the lamp posts on the edge of the red path way. As we walked past he was asking 'feed me some beer'

During the You Me at Six 'remove one item of clothing section', my fella met a fellow topless ginger guy and made a 2 minute best friend.

For the person who mentioned the guy dancing like a nutter during Kasabian, that could have well also been my man.. Not on pills, but a lot of cider!! He was loving it. (Again, shirt off.) Did not keep still.

Not funny.. But a family on Friday at main stage with the most adorable kids. One was a little lad, can't have been one, on his dad's shoulders dancing, the elder one with 'Foo Fighters' painted over his face

The aforementioned I need a shit sign!

Someone during The Courteeners at the NME stage waving around a 'Do not camp in the parking lanes' sign.

[LordCheekbone]

PABH conga circle pit.

The guys jumping in front of the camera at Twin Atlantic.

The guy in full beer crate armour suit during Black Keys.

Booing Chris Moyles.

Alice Glass with her own phlem on her chin.

"You know what they call kids moshing to Angels And Airwaves? Virgins." On the big screen.

Bullets set: oggy oggy oggy! OI! OI! OI! (epic solo)

Claiming Florence had a giant fishnet on, and then shouting "SHE'S DRIPPING" whilst getting disapproving looks from die-hard Florence fangirls.

I wasn't even there for my favourite moment; during crystal castles a scottish guy started pumping his shoe up and down and at the end told my friends to "spread the word of the shoe-dance" So there you go, spread the word.

And tits at Foo's. Everyone was just chanting 'tits!' at her until she obliged. Which she did.

[the wonderwhy]

The guys camped next to me were making a list of things they needed from Tesco. They got meat, alcohol, loo roll, lighters and baccy, before someone shouted 'blowjobs!'

[Siamesedream22]

A chav pissing in a cup and attempting to throw it at some other campers, the majority managed to get him however to which he shouted' ahhhh fuck it's on me'

The same chavs later discovered someone had took a massive shit next to their tents, this amused me

Two nutcases with their shirts off basically wrestling eachother to enter shikari, a hench welshman turned up and smashed them both

they then started a human pryamid lets just say the girl at the top's 'beef curtains' were pretty much on show

The sign saying ' we will rate your looks for free, 50p for an explanation why' haha thought it was excellent

Random south african man on mdma turning up to our fire everynight and chatting shite

[SpecialAgentKit]

my black friend was chugging his drink and someone yelled "he's thirsty because he's from africa", he sprayed his drink everywhere laughing

[Avens]

I walked past the "we will rate your looks for free" sign just as one of them was saying, "take your glasses off, let's see those pretty eyes..." then, "ugh!"

Haha

[Avens]

Ahh, remembered some more.

Mike, who we were camped next to, accidentally lied to his employers that his granddad had died so he could get time off. We were appalled until he said "it's ok, I don't have a granddad!"

Same guy was a total hero throughout the whole weekend...got absolutely fucked on the Sunday and was dancing it up for Gaslight Anthem before passing out on the ground. We "accidentally" put some stones in his shorts and up he woke. Then some girls doing neon handprints arrived and he unhooked one of their bras with ONE HAND...so she grabbed him in the balls with her neon hand and he spent the next half an hour holding his groin, lumping out one ball and saying, "it's never been that far forward compared to the other one before. I think she's damaged it."

Absolutely marvellous.

[Musesetlist]

Walking into the Action Aid tent on Thursday night to Bohemian Rhapsody. Made my way through the crowd and just before the Beelzebub bit I saw two guys dressed as Wayne and Garth from Wayne's World. My mind blew right there.

Also great were three guys in identical tents with holes cut in the bottom, walking around and stopping in front of people, dancing, fighting eachother, tent-fucking... Much hilarity!

[Mouseboy11]

Did anyone see the black guy in the mask grooving for ages on someones hands to the black keys? He's on the highlights somewhere. Bloody hilarious.

Did she get invited onstage or something to sing?

Have you ever seen Avenged do it for Pantera's Walk, the guy nails it!

Yeh she did. On the few occasions she sang along, she was all right. For most of it, she looked like she'd done a small poo in her tights.

In Green Camp at Leeds

Some boy in a tiger onesie waving to a camera and saying "Hi my name is Paul and this is tiger smash" then his mate runs up and proceeds to smash him to the ground.

Funniest thing I seen all weekend.
