Tbh it has never bothered me.
Over the years the only times I’ve been anywhere close to a stage it has been really early gigs. By mid afternoon we are happier & more comfy being about 200m away from stage, 30m from the loo & 5 mins from Cider Bus.
We find them bloody useful. You can take a 3 or 4 way bearing from them, even at night& get back to “the gang” which is the reason most others have them. I’d say 90% of flags are groups of 5-10+.
Having watched last night I can see how they’d annoy the TV watchers & camera crews
I love winning bets with myself.
Always someone moans 
Glasto is about the whole, never about ONLY the music. It is about the moment, not whether one likes an album. I’ve never bought a Coldplay nor Elbow album. And I fucking HATE Rap, yet Jaz-Z, Tinie Tempah, Seasick Steve, The Wombats, Nile Rodgers & Chic, Barry Gibb, Dolly Parton, Don Giovanni, Lady Gaga, White Lies, The Kaiser Chiefs, Rodrigo & Gabriela, The Bellowheads are all way up there in moments to experience.
Glasto isn’t an opinion, so nobody gives a shit, it is about this
It may be about the whole- but it’s WAS also all about the music. - often being exposEd to new stuff is great and atmosphere can make up for a poor set… but not insipid stuff… 
Yep I remember that hole at The Isle of Wight Festival in 1970, that’s why I walked 3 miles into Freshwater to use the bogs there.

Right b4 Dolly came on I uttered my wisest words ever…
Sunglasses on chaps. Boy did we need them, the pocket tissues & baby wipes wowza.
But others- Barry Gibb, Neil Diamond, Crowded House and of course Tom Jones.
All gave watery eyes goosebumps moments
When I was at college 40 + years ago I was that one. The uncool git. I had albums by Chic & The BeeGees.
40+ years on, Barry Gibb & Nile Rodgers put on 2 absolutely banging sets.
Thank fook Mrs P_F & family are out. Nile on full volume & dancing around with my beer.
The perfect 40 points party soundtrack.
Cancelled again
The good news. I went to the final Glastonbury for another year.
Bad news. No chance of a ticket in 2022.

This means the average age will go up another year to abar 67and it’ll be another year closer to irrelevance, what urban music will be en vogue by then that we’ll have to virtue signal to to say we’re right on?
Drill maybe with a duet with Dolly?

Right this is a bit off-topic, but can anyone tell me the political wins people are getting from pointing out that Jacob Rees Mogg is a rich Tory twat?
Isn’t this fucking evident from the way the man fucking dresses himself?
Do people not know?
What else should he do? Carry a big sign above his head emblazoned with the legend “I am a rich Tory twat?”
You may as well start a campaign to tell people that Jordan, the lass with the big globes and many babyfathers, is not a rocket scientist. It’d be about as useful in the telling people things they didn’t already know stakes.
Yep this is my favourite…can it be arranged?

My big question is what happens to people who’ve turned 26 under @Barry-Sanchez’s proposed rules.

No, because it’s fucking pointless. The man tells you that himself every fucking day with everything he says and does.
I think it looks weirder to point that out.

No it’s not.
It’s like we know all Skates are cunts but it doesn’t stop us singing about it.
You need to find bigger questions but I’d show some discretion and say you can still come in.
Why should the same people get all the fun?
Strange they all become capitalists and selfish for this event…
Do you mean Katie Price, business woman who quite likes sex and has a few kids. As does her ex male partners who may also have had kids with several women.
Completely agree re JRM. Nothing is of surprise with him. As I’ve said before even his peers at Estonian found him odd.
