Glastonbury 2010: It was the best ever

I was away doing other stuff this weekend, so it was nice to return and discover that some things are still as you expect them, even in a world where you can't trust Vince Cable any more.

Michael Eavis issued his traditional 'it was the best ever' statement at the end of Glastonbury:

Speaking at a press conference today, Eavis, 74, said he had experienced the best six hours of his life last night.

"I've never enjoyed myself so much," he said. "I hope you enjoyed yourselves too. It has been the best party for me, it really has been the best – the weather, the full moon and last night in a crowd of 100,000 people there was not one drunk person, isn't that extraordinary?"

Hmm. It does sound almost unbelievable, yes.

The biggest discovery of the festival seems to have been that people who have nothing much invested in the experience prefer the idea of Gorillaz to actually seeing them.
