It was 1994. Watching it that year was what made me want to go in 1995

I think you got there first.  Yep 94.  The BBC took over in 1997.

I wasn't happy with Ch4, they had people walking around filming all over. I really felt like my oasis away from the real world had been invaded. Plus I didn't want my mum to catch me smoking a big doobie live on air 😁. 

Picture round next, easy one. What's the name of this store?

Leon's

I like Leon's, but they really piss me off with their bizarre two queues thing. Get to the front of the hot food queue and you want a salad? Fuck off to the back of the other queue.

I’m going to jump in with a question. Who were the DJ’s that Skrillex & his friends go to watch specifically at Glastonbury 2013? Easy.

Bonus: who hosted the stage he did an unannounced set on?

Eek, turns out I didn't know the answer!  I thought it was 2014, but that was just the year it was revealed he was working with them, he'd actually been designing all sorts for years:

On further digging, the year he started working with them + designed a poster was...

2003!

That was a double fluke because I actually typed 2001 to start then realised there wasn't a festival that year!

Who subbed David Bowie I'm 2000?

Bang on.

How they were ever big enough to sub the pyramid is beyond me, but there you go 

 

[grumpyhack]

And the Bowie performance was reckoned to be one of his finest moments.

OK - next question.  In 1988 what did Haggis, Arabella, Michael and Jean do together in Shepton Mallet?

[ian the worm]

Haggis is a great bloke who I first met around 1988. ‘Twas the year they all got married and went for a cheeky Nando’s.

Correct it is in The Park 😝 

Incorrect year. 

[stuartbert two hats]

Looks a bit cloudy and I don't remember it, so I'm going to plump for 2011.

[ian the worm]

Nope. Later than 2011. 

[blutarsky]

Looks too dry for 2016 and not dry enough for 2017, so I’ll go 2015?
