The tent pole climber (was Unbelievable wanker)

[psylocotic]

haha you miserable Tadpole! word on the street has it that TVP are organising a festival for over 25's that caters for types such as yourself that dont like to have much fun and you will like this part....lights out at 11.30pm! its called Gloom.

i forgot to mention that there will be 24hr patrol of air horn police to keep you bland ones safe!

more details to come...

I was sure the 'girl' was Dj Scotch Egg

Would be hilarious if it was. Tbh, I thought the climber was some 'performance artist' stunt.

I was sure it was Scotch Egg too not that my vision was up to much but it sure looked a lot like him and he did have an Osaka Flag he was waving about too!!
As for shouting at people alll done in the best of humor as for volence only to the people who really count I think me and Five alive may have had a rumble as some point but it was fun though

[youllneverbe]

we seemed to have some of these so called hoo-rays near us never seen them leave thier tents once! I think some just come to get fucked up away from mummy and daddy.

Yeah I saw a few of those. There are better places to "get fucked up" than Glade (i.e. more comfortable places with fewer people etc.) but there's no better place to have a fucking great 3-day rave.

You see, this is one thing I really don't get. Why bother to pay £140 to "get fucked up" in a tent, when they could just as easily do that in some campsite for about a tenner?

indeed, music and people first, and whatever else you choose to throw down your throat after. IMO

The lady with the flag was protesting for the free tibet campaign. http://www.freetibet.org

I want a free Tibet, how do I go about getting one?

[tomska]

Yeah, you do sound a bit scrooge-like, OP. Over 25's only? Gash.

That said, the horns were pretty retarded. The rave equivalent of shouting "Bollocks!" all night.

[9preciousGems]

if you guys couldnt sleep you obviously didnt party hard enough. let that be a lesson for next time.

OK, but then they are fair game for people to turn the tables and toot horns when they are asleep later.

[9preciousGems]

fair play if im woken up by the sound of horns it means im missing the party and cannot waste any more time sleeping!!

If anyone knows the moron who climbed up the tent pole at the end of Jeff Mills’ set can you please ensure that you socially ostracise them from now on. Honestly, who acts like that?! I only hope that security threw her straight out of the festival on her ass into a pile of mud. This stupid girl could have killed someone if she fell. She was already nicked by security while trying to do it during Dubfire. Why didn’t they kick her out then?????

This was my fourth Glade and although the music was sensational I really noticed far more idiots than in previous years. People having yelling matches with each other and playing shitty tinny radios in the wee hours of the morning and becoming wildly aggresive and rude when asked if they could keep the noise down. Not to mention the wankers walking around the dancefloors blowing horns all the time. If the song was meant to have a horn in it there would be a trumpet player on stage. There were loads of people there who seemed to have no interest in music but just wanted to get fucked up on drugs. I’m usually tolerant about this stuff but the Glade used to be known for attracting people with good social skills, now it’s more like the Reading Festival of dance music.

Can the Glade introduce a 25 and over policy or at least get some ‘take no shit’ security that boots people out on their asses if they act like dickheads?

Love and kisses,
Polarbare

P.S. Jeff Mills, wow. Wow.

Stick a fork in it mofo.

I agree with the Jeff Mills though...

fuck you man. you really dont sound like the type that should be going to glade anyway.

You have an anti social attitude and it's frowned upon.

Get knotted, shithead.

hmmmmmmm ..... cus' you have the moral high ground n all that fucking hypocrite.

We had alot of screaming "jimmy" or "timmy"??? But we just joined in. Thought everyone was super lovely this year and anyone was being a bit twatish you just have to laugh at them cause weve all been there at some point.

People complaining at noise at night is bloomin ridiculous though. If you want quiet camping, go to quiet camping and dont get my mates sound-system confiscated ya nasty people!!!

Was my second and best year and I have all the lovely people that I met to thank for that.

I think it would have been Timmy.

But to be fair to Polarbare, I don't think this is the kind of thing he was on about (if it was, then he's definitely at the wrong festival). I think he's on about the Fuck You, I've Paid My Money And I'll Do What I Fucking Well Please, You Fucking Cunt mentality of a small minority. If you encountered it, it was a far cry from the tradition of PLUR (Peace, Love, Unity and Respect), which the festival had plenty of in the first couple of years.

But then again, coming out with that line about banning under-25s is hardly doing himself any favours...

[magneticgrooves]

I did experience two chav types with tracksuits tucked into socks on one occasion in the Sancho Panza being a bit loud, but that's all I saw in terms of wankerishness. Previous Glade's have been slightly more wanker free though!

[machinist]

i can see exactly why she did it

Your attitude is beyond belief, so unnessecarily aggressive. Are you sure Glade is the right festival for you?

Hi,

I agree on the idiots comments, and indeed, usually first time festival goers having a binge drug issue are a total pain. Not sure if it getting worst, I remember group of kids being completely on their head with balloon and booze on Thursday afternoon (yes, their was nothing on....) 2 years ago, and the years before...
The binge drinking/drug issue is, as usual, a typical UK issue... sounds like Britain, Britain, Britain, really has a problem (look at how young Brits are viewed in Greeks resorts (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/ju ... andalcohol))....
Not sure on how to resolve a global cultural issue, in 3 days at Glade... the best solution might be to try to live with it, even if I would support a bit less tolerance from security.... or go to festivals abroad (never seen such attitude either in Germany (Vuuv) or Portugal (Boom, Freedom), even with a more tolerant drug policy and far less problem....).
