Excited to get back on the farm, I'm stewarding again this year

I would love to go to glastonbury at some point, lineup doesnt matter to me really.

I went to outlook a couple of years ago and of course the lineup/soundsystems/place were all incredible the vibe wasnt really there for me, too many rudeboys and too big and crowded. My mate went to dimensions and said it was much better.

Much prefer something like shambala (!!) or my local ones sheep and nozstock. There is lots of good music but its more about all the all the fun stuff happening and nice people. Real keen to go to boomtown aswell.

[joeki]

yeah you see that's my main thing: Obviously you want to enjoy the music in the best possible circumstances and organisation and vibe play a part in that, but I honestly couldn't give a fuck about any one else at a festival, as long as I can enjoy the bands/acts I'm coming for.
The whole festival special 'atmosphere' doesn't speak to me one bit. That's why Dour is excellent for me.

yes good. You found the dictionary of the English Language. Now take out a map of North France and the south of Belgium, were people historically did not speak English.

lol your just confirming what hes saying man

[wilson]

Innit

[joeki]

no, you make a mediocre joke based on a wrong assumption and I refuse to play along with it.

[joeki]

and before we go through another round of this.

Had the festival been called Lassitude or something, then you'd have gotten a chuckle out of me. Going from my entry to describing the entire 180.000 people festival at Dour as dour is a stretch for several reasons. Also, why would my personal attitude have anything to do with the name of the festival. In other words, I think it is a poor joke.

Also, assuming I don't know the meaning of the word simply demonstrates Anglo-Saxon attitude towards foreign language speakers and the fact you're the fourth British person to make the joke says enough.

Just because I go to a festival only to enjoy music doesn't mean I'm gloomy (and certainly not the festival in its entirety). I felt that your entire joke fell apart. But maybe I'm dour and don't have a sense of humour!

Yes, the likeness is uncanny

[magma]

Let's step away from this painfully ironic demonstration of jokes about people not having a sense of humour flying above their heads to remind Glastonbury goers that they need to pay the balance for their ticket THIS WEEK.

Just done mine - see you on the farm!

[particle-jim]

Glastonbury goers that they need to pay the balance for their ticket THIS WEEK.

Hahaha paying to go to Glasto and camping with all the commoners, how quaint, I can't even imagine paying for entry anymore, stewarding has spoiled me

[meanmrcustard]

24 hours of stewarding isn't it? £215/24 is less than £9 an hour.

I'd be hard pushed to work for £9 an hour in the real world, never mind when I'm effectively on holiday. I'm good thanks.

I've always thought about it as a back up plan, but never had to actually put it into practise. We'll have to make sure we meet up for a smoke and a cider!

If you call walking around in a tabard while smoking a joint, having backstage access and camping in the quiet staff field work, honestly stewarding is pish easy and there are plenty of other bonuses besides your entry being paid for

Also, I do work for less than £9 an hour in the real world!
