Are you suffering festival fatigue?

I'm trying a different approach this yr, having really only done glasto and thought nothing else came close i have fled eavis' nesty beard and am giving glade and bestival my hard earned cash. I've said for three years that glasto was losing its magic but still ended up going and having a wicked time regardless of rain or whoever played on the main stage (ive done 3 glasto's without going near the pyramid) its just so wierd now! I used to recall months later loads of random things and people and nowadays the crowd seem aloof or too busy texting. A dare say i felt a sense of community there and that has all but gone. Am really looking forward to Glade tho, and MBV at Bestival. Fatigued I am not!

Are you the actual jimbob off efests then? I remember seeing your posts if that's you, always good quality stuff.

texting? at a festival? I couldn't even if I tried to.

letters, numbers, wtf

I texted my partner at the first ever Glade back when mushrooms were legal. We had bought some on the friday evening from a stall and i had swallowed a load saturday morning and gone off on a walkabout. My partner was back at the van. The mushrooms soon started to take a hold so i decided to text her the message "these are fucking great!"

So with fingers like sausages and the phone filling my vision i set about the message - only to find that predictive texting wouldnt let me use the word fucking and instead insisted on the work ducking.

To this day when somethings really good we use the expression "these are ducking great!"

No Sperge, not me. I'm not the jimbob from Carter USM either.

Re: mushrooms & festvals...anyone ever been to shitty reading fest? I disliked it so much i ate far too many mexicans, got in a cab to reading station and wanderd round the shopping centre bit losing it for four hours on a saturday morning. it was not nice. kept thinkin i was gonna get arrested by all the scary coppers there and eventually hid behind a wall til i felt better. i now only do such things in a controlled environment!

My favourite was always trying to type "Smirnoff" but instead getting "Poisoned"

The ultimate is that old story about some bloke sending a text to a girl he liked, asking her if she fancied getting a bite to eat in their local pub, The Crown.

Do you fancy getting food in the crown?
=
Do you fancy getting done in the brown?

I'm sure it was the start of a beautiful relationship.
