Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: Dave the Gnome Date: 06 Jul 19 - 04:00 PM Sorry WAV. You said you are a 'lefty' (socialist) and a nationalist. It only means one thing to me. Oh, 100!!!! |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: WalkaboutsVerse Date: 06 Jul 19 - 04:05 PM 102 - I bet PFR wouldn't jump in your grave that quick, Dave! |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: punkfolkrocker Date: 06 Jul 19 - 04:25 PM eh...??? I wouldn't jump in anyone's grave... Is that another Olde English tradition you are fond of...??? Something like cheese chasing down hill, or bog snorkeling... Anyway.. 100 counts become made meaningless by mods tidying up a thread... |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: punkfolkrocker Date: 06 Jul 19 - 04:30 PM aha... looks like I got 100 at 03:58 PM not that I'm one to boast.... BUT IT WAS ME THAT GOT 100...!!!!!! |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: WalkaboutsVerse Date: 06 Jul 19 - 04:34 PM As I've said, I don't like imperialism but maybe we can all agree one good thing from British imperialism in south Asia was putting an end to sati, where a Hindu widow would sacrifice herself by sitting atop her deceased husband's funeral pyre. |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: punkfolkrocker Date: 06 Jul 19 - 04:53 PM Another good thing was bringing curry to Britain so it is now one of our best loved national dishes... There's no denying the Victorians achieved some great things, even if not always for the best, most progressive, or humanitarian reasons... It also got rid of a lot of annoying god botherers from our island, when they eagerly buggered off to become missionaries and target practice for their new congregations... |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: Dave the Gnome Date: 06 Jul 19 - 04:55 PM How about a wife sacrificing herself by sitting atop of her husband's piles? |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: Tattie Bogle Date: 08 Jul 19 - 06:01 PM Anyone ever started a thread, then wished they hadn't? Suppose I should have predicted which way it would go. Now I've commented again it won't disappear as quickly as it might have. Haemorrhoids to the lot of you! Good night (if you can!) |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: Stanron Date: 08 Jul 19 - 06:21 PM Commiserations TB but I enjoy watching UK lefties beat themselves up. |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: punkfolkrocker Date: 08 Jul 19 - 07:18 PM Stan - what...!!!??? If we beat each other up, you're sat there beating yourself off...??? |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: punkfolkrocker Date: 08 Jul 19 - 10:54 PM Stan - slightly wrong..?? Sorry it's late.. I'd completely forgot the tory penchant for doing it with oranges in their mouths, plastic bags over their heads, and belts or electrical wiring tight around their necks... Again apologies, this should be less wrong now.. eh...??? |
|
Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: punkfolkrocker Date: 08 Jul 19 - 10:58 PM ..and to tie this in with Glastonbury, oranges are a popular refreshing fruity snack with festival goers... What they do with the oranges later in the privacy of their own tents is entirely up to them. well... a lot of the glasto crowd now are public school educated... |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: GUEST,Observer Date: 09 Jul 19 - 06:41 AM Interesting to note the largest ever crowd to attend was estimated to have been 300,000 for The Levellers - a British folk-rock band. |
|
Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: punkfolkrocker Date: 09 Jul 19 - 07:28 AM The Levellers had a very loyal fan base. Lots of my mates in the South West were into them. [.. ah... memories of crusties and Swampy the mole man protestor..] We saw them at a festival in Budapest just over 20 years ago, and the mrs became an immediate CD buying fan.. The local band 3 Daft Monkeys have since followed on and catered to the same new age hippy audience.. Are the Levellers still going in some form...??? |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: WalkaboutsVerse Date: 09 Jul 19 - 02:20 PM God knows, all those centuries and decades on, we could do with some levelling - and English citterns at Glastonbury. |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: GUEST,Allan Conn Date: 09 Jul 19 - 04:28 PM I remember a couple of decades back this guy saying to me (I was wearing a suit at the time as I was working) that he could never be like me as I was quite cool and ok but "oppressed by wearing a uniform". I suggested he was wearing a uniform too which he scoffed at but then I guessed his favourite band were The Levellers. Because he was not an individual as he claimed to be but was dressed in the typical new age hippy gear. Saying that I like the Levellers but didn't take to someone judging folk by their working clothes ?? |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: GUEST,Cj Date: 09 Jul 19 - 04:52 PM That's it, Allan. Dressing down is pretty similar to dressing up. |

Subject: RE: Glastonbury From: Steve Shaw Date: 09 Jul 19 - 06:01 PM My daughter is the Levellers' number one fan. She goes to all their Westcountry gigs and I can assure you that they are still going. |
