no throng

 

read the hobbit as the dwarves gather in bilbos house it becomes a throng , and slowly we increase till we shall be a throng

The correct plural for a gathering of dwarfs is a throng of dwarfs and the bears inform me that simular would apply to uk hipforumers at glastonbury

 

i think he means

"please spend time with my hipforums thong"

Jonny got his own hipforums underpants made you see..

 

You need to contact Skip immediately about this idea. I would SO buy a pair of Hipforums boxers.

I could do a TheFly and show them to everyone at Beautiful Days

 

Do they help him in his line of work as a prostitute?

 

I heard from Bokonon the other day, he hasn't got the internet at the moment, but he texted me to say he'll be coming to Glasto.

 

line up is out
check the guardian website

is bokonon camping with us?

 

Yeah he is, he's bringing a mate too. The line-up's the worst I've ever seen. A few bands I'd quite like to see, a couple of must sees, but mostly meh. I've decided this year I'm gonna sit in a field and make clogs....

 

i dunno
its not great
but massive attack will be awesssome

theres a few others i want to see as well.. emmy the great.. thea gilmore.. ben folds..

http://music.guardian.co.uk/glastonbury2008/lineup/0,,2276393,00.html

there may be some others who are now as tbc at the moment

joan baez is playing the accoustic tent there are odd things that are good but I think the pyramid and big stages lack stars but theres some nice stuff in the smaller stages

 

Doesn't sound like the best line-up at all.

 

Holy shit, that's a sodding awful lineup. I think there's not one band in there I'd pay to see. Not one.
Shame on you Glastonbury, shame on you.

 

the Fratellis,
KT Tunstall,
Kate Nash
We Are Scientists
the Hoosiers
Newton Faulkner
Alphabeat
Seth Lakeman
The Verve
And I'm sure The Levellers said they were playing The Left Field stage!!

I think I'd be OK to a point, none are real favourites (bar Newton) but I could deal with it. Better line up last year!

 

http://timbrassey.com/glasto.aspx

good link to sample the line up x

 

Looks like I shall be there up a tower

 

awesome!
See you there....lets hope for sunny weather..

 

Looking through the thread it sounds like there's loads of us hipforumers going This is going to be great

I'm quite glad the line-up is so uninspiring, means I won't be tempted to go running off trying to fight my way through to music stages as much and can spend more time sitting in (hopefully dry) fields... Even so there will doubtless be loads of unexpectedly interesting things going on to discover as you wander randomly about, like always

 

I'M SO EXCITED
just spent the evening getting excited talking about it with my housemates (who are tom and dan who went last year +1 more)..

so so os excited

 

arty:

 

this has probably been mentioned, but the line up for leftfield looks amaaazing! fuck the main stages i'd just be there for the whole festival.

People you might (read 'really should') know:
Pie Tasters
King Blues
The Slackers
Pama International
The Levellers
Mungos Hi Fi Vs Don Letts Dub Cartel
Neck
Neville Staple
Alabama 3
Beans on Toast
Frank Turner
Seasick Steve
Left Field Rally With Tony Benn
Nick Doody – Get Up Stand Up
Marcus Brigstocke
Tony Benn
The Beat
Bluetones
Dirty Pretty Things
Billy Bragg
British Sea Power

that's a pretty impressive group of bands there, and that's probably only a quarter.
