I wouldn't write about anything too deep, about 5 pages of A4 should do it

16 pages of absorbent A3 per day. Mind the full-page pictures though, they'll be inky.

Did VIP at the V festival a few times round the turn of the century. I can vouch for much the same. In some ways I think VIPs treat the facilities worse. Not that I'm accusing you, mind...

Yeah I'm going to Glasto and Leeds this year, I'm thinking Glastonbury will be better at the moment.

Hmm im a bit twixt and between at the minute. The John Peel tent on friday does look amazing, but most of the bands i want to see at glasto are playing at leeds (arcade fire, cribs, bloc party etc.). The only band im gutted are playng glasto and not leeds are Los Campesinos!

i guess atleast Leeds has the Carling tent which is looking class!

I went then - did you see the UFO during Radiohead???

oh and ........Pigeon on a stick!!!!!

Sadly not, all I remember from Radiohead were the idiots around me singing along, drowning out the band - especially Karma Police.

I can't believe that was four years ago, where does the time go?

I was there too. I didn't see a UFO during Radiohead. Sure you hadn't eaten too many space cakes?

Best memory of that weekend is sitting in the glorious sunshine getting stoned whilst watching Jimmy Cliff on the Pyramid Stage.

The pigeon on the stick is there every year.

did you see Pigeon vs Hulk though??

The UFO was real, we'd done no drugs at all...... at that point. Seriously, there were a series of lights that came over the field, hovvered above the crowd then moved off quite quickly before a miltary jet then came whizzing overhead.

I've never really considered actually going to Glasto, always so much easier to just switch on BBC3 and get pissed in the comfort of my living room.

I met the daughter of Steve Gibbons, of Steve Gibbons Band fame, today. She gets to go see her dad play Glasto for nowt Friday, and that's it.

Sorry, but bullshit.
The number of cameras in that field, yet not one of them captured this 'series of lights'?!? Plus, I was there, and I didn't see anything or hear anyone talking about it.
Sounds like an acid flashback to me.

sorry but you're a cock.

I don't do drugs, drugs are for losers, why be a loser when you can be a winner?

Lots of people saw it including my equally non-drug addled mate next to me.

Right, so all your musical heroes are losers then.

You and your mate saw it, and despite 100,000 other people being in the same place at the same time, nobody else recollects it, and there are no photographs. Makes pure sense.

Edit: Wait, I take it all back!!!

Kylie doesn't do drugs

Call that a festival ?

I can't beleive that Jimi Hendrix didn't do the Isle of Wight again this year either.

I'm only 23.

Of those on that list i'd only want to see Zep, Purple and Mountain. I'd have loved to have seen King Crimson in 74 with Bruford and Wetton doing Red but alas I wasn't born.
