What's the funniest thing you've heard a Glastonbury virgin ask?

[monkey1989]

I am a newb and I have a seemingly daft question to ask you , the acoustic tent yeah will all the bands be playing acoustic sets in there ? I want to go and see the Zac Brown band who have been announced for the acoustic tent and they sound great from the youtube videos i have seen and do a sweet enter sandman cover but it wouldn't be the same without the full electic guitars etc

It has got 24hr cashpoints (which are FREE, unlike the ones around the rest of the site) it always used to have counters - you could queue up and cash a cheque (yes, I know... HOW old skool!) between 9am and 3.30pm on the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, and on Saturday morning. Maybe they got rid of those?

Yeah the Natwest vans up by the farm are just portable banks... all the full range of services

[pie_and_a_pint]

that's really useful - I have been meaning to apply for a savings account but I haven't had time to get round to it. Do you think they will have a mortgage advisor on site as well?

Remember a few years ago (2007 I think) and Marcus Brigstock did a huge skit about some double-barrelled nice-but-dim Tory kid going to his first Glastonbury?

It was full of great moments, but my favourite was when he was tired having cycled all the way there (on the back seat of a tandem).

"I just can't wait to get in there, have a bath..."

[monkey1989]

Something funny you heard or a real question, idk? Here's an answer anyway,

It's not pure acoustic just a genre type, a great tent, real nice vibe, good beer if you like ale. I always go there at least a couple of times during the festival.

Someone once asked me if you can see/hear"both"stages

if you stand in the middle.

[timbrass]

Daughter's friend .... "It's OK you'll find our tent..... we'll put a flag up so you can see it"

and from one of my GP wife's helicoptered in and out Winding Lake patients when she asked him what he had seen at Glasto - he said the Pyramid stage .... she then asked what he had seen the other side of the railway line and he genuinely said "What railway line?" He'd managed to go to Glasto and yet not actually see anything!

[siblin]

I knew it, but i've never been there. And i tend to bring cash with me as well, dont fancy queing for 3/4 of an hour to be charged for the privalige of getting my own money. I guess its there for if you loose your card etc

That was a genuine question from me (a newb)

[gooner1990]

10 of my brothers mates went in 2011, all for the first time, bumped into a few of them about a week later in one of our local pub...they are free party loving wreckheads so i presumed they'd spent all their time loaded up on drugs in the naughty corner.

me ' you enjoy shangri-la, arcadia etc then?

<blank looks>

I then explain what it was, and then asked what they did each night after the main stages had finished.

'oh we went back to the campsite, sniffed coke all night and drank our beers, we thought it was like V festival and just finished at 12'

(they'd all gone to V 2011 inc my brother as their first festival)

how the fuck do people like this get tickets!!!

my brother is goign with them this year, and i linked them all to videos of the naughty corner, safe to say they'll be a bit more prepped this year!!

[James Bolivar]

What fuckers, eh? Never been to Glastonbury, never been to a festival, perhaps never been camping and they don't know what to expect - how very, fucking, dare they? Bastard noobs!

[Jamie Patrick]

At my first Glastonbury I remember asking someone where the Stone Circle was when I was right in the middle of it. I had no clue. Also, I'd brought a suitcase with me and had to trundle it all the way across the site in the mud. Never made that mistake again.

Calm down James. Just a bit of light hearted fun...

Yes, we were all newbs once!

I'm with James on this and I am uncomfortable with the attitude of superiority displayed by some of those who may have been many times.

[Thearg]

Its just tongue in cheek,you cant slip a fart on here without someone pointing the finger.

Not really a newbie thing, but I remember getting back from 2009 where I saw virtually nothing on the Pyramid stage and a work colleague conversation went: -

Her - "How was Neil Young?"

Me - "Didn't watch him, not a big fan."

"What about Springsteen?"

"Didn't watch that either"

"So did you just sit in your tent?"

"Hell NO!"

"So what else is there to do then?"

Me - *blank stare*

[dan05delaney]

not a newbie thing but I was clearing my time off with my boss this week and she asked what I was going to be doing in Glastonbury and why was I not going away.... Some people!

[nowyouregideon]

Im new to it all that and after reading one or two people say its funny when people ask this, can you not take alcohol with you anywhere on site? Apart from obv into the bars etc. I'm sure I read somewhere you could.

Without sarcasm, if you don't mind.
