jjiimmyyt 0 #1 June 24, 2007 This years show is pretty good. I haven't been in about 10 years, I think I prefer watching it on the telly nowadays. Just watched Iggy and The Stooges, amazing, they had the crowd up on the stage for No fun. Last night Arctic Monkeys were good and so was Lily Allen this afternoon. Really looking forward to The Who. Anyone else watching? "This isn't an iron lung, people. You can actually disconnect and not die." -Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjiimmyyt 0 #3 June 24, 2007 Website for it here http://www.glastonburyfestivals.co.uk/ Basically it is massive festival held most years on 7 farms near the village of Pilton, near Glastonbury, UK, Europe. This year they have over 2000 different acts, ranging from big name pop/rock/indie/dance acts to world music, jazz, performance artists, acrobats, jugglers, opera. Basically if you like it there is probably someone playing there you want to see. This year there are about 150,000 people camping on site. Its also traditional that it piss down a couple of times so the site turns into a giant mud bath. It, in short, is simply amazing and good value for £150 quid. I went 3 or 4 times in my twenties 4 days of drinking, watching great bands, meeting great people. It is kinda like a boogie but without the jumping but with the nakedness "This isn't an iron lung, people.

jjiimmyyt 0 #7 June 24, 2007 He aint my prime minister, I live in (old) Jersey which is internally independant from the UK. Its only a tiny little island, 9 by 5 miles, with 100k people. We are closer to france (in distance) than the UK. "This isn't an iron lung, people. You can actually disconnect and not die." -Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjiimmyyt 0 #10 June 24, 2007 Just watching The Who play live right at this moment on the BBC. Fuck me, they are kicking ass, I wish I'd been around to see them with Moon and Entwhistle. For a bunch of older fellas they sure can play. "This isn't an iron lung, people. You can actually disconnect and not die." -Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjiimmyyt 0 #13 June 24, 2007 Good lord sir, Glastonbury part of the Arthurian legend, say it aint so. You must be some kinda of professor or somtink. Next you'll spin some line about getting leyed in Glasto. Was it Keira Knightly or that bird out off that John Boorman one (see what I did there - I'd like to call it arthurian entanglement - what would be your observation on that?). As for my very tongue in cheek response, it just would be nice if for once the shermans on this Canadian/African website would drop their stereotypes when someone who doesn't live south of Canada or north of Mexico posts. We've all heard the bad teeth, smelly and fat jokes before and they just get real old. I sort of expect better from these guys. BTW all the french girls I know smell lovely, don't know about the guys, never got that close enough to notice. btw Billy, please keep posting pics of fat naked chicks, I'm trying to start a verison of that silver ring thing going in Jersey and there is nothing to put teens off sex than pics of unfortunate fat american ladies with no clothes on. Back to normal programming in 3..2..1... Sorry for the sarcasm guys but some times, well you know. Bonus pints will be paid to any one who can point out all of the intentional crappy physics jokes there. John, you can apply, but to get the beer then you have to explain quantum entanglement in such away as I understand it without telling me my cat is dead and alive at the same time. (I know you may be uncertain about how to but it may help). Better go, got to go and finish watching Glastonbury. If you notice any spelling mistakes in this post are you sure they were there before you looked at them.Come on, at least one of them made you giggle a bit. If not I should have done my A levels. Edited to add: Sorry I should have put a better spin on this but hey. and to Billy, please keep posting funny pics, they most (when not vomiting) of the time make me laugh.

jjiimmyyt 0 #14 June 24, 2007 Right, back to Glasto, The Who set fucking rocked, The Tommy Medley was sweet as hell, goose pimple time. Second album I ever bought was Tommy. Just watching the Mika (sp?) set. Love the scissor sisters /elton vibe he has got going on. Also any song that refs HM Grace Kelly has to be good. What do others think who have been watching? And come tuesday if you went post your photos. "This isn't an iron lung, people. You can actually disconnect and not die." -Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iamsam 0 #16 June 25, 2007 there's more to Glastonbury than just the music, and you never end up seeing all of everybody that you want to see. Shirely Bassey blew the clouds away. some things change - I wasn't once offered magic mushrooms some things stay the same - mud mud mud attached a pic and dawn on Saturday morning, a glastonbury tradition, rock paper scissors, winner stays on. peacebut what do I know Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'd love to see Clapton or the Stones there. fuck that. The Who are still rock gods, but stones, fuck man they sold their asses out in the eighties as they hiked they're shit round from stadium to stadium. If they could have realised at least one decent album since, oh I dont know, for fucking ever I could agree with you. They are like U2, some people like them, but the rest of the world is just wishing they would fuck off and die. I mean, Mick Jagger, I know he has shagged loadsa bints but what the fuck is the point of him. Skinny fricken pensioner doing his faux alszeheimer dance whilst twats go 'oh the stones great live band'. See this stick, no, closer, closer, .. Oh i am so sorry about your eye. Sorry,didn't mean to do that. Honest. it was meant for your ears as you really honestly do NOT FUCKING use them. Right, now on to Clapton. I fucking loved Cream. Reason called they were called Cream, they had floated to the top and they were the best. But Clapton on his own is a self indulgent whiny twat who needs to cut his own fingers off before he does any further damage to his own hallowed rep. And that is why I am going to hell.
