走到賣非洲燒雞的檔口,大汗沓細汗的黑婦人與黑美女笑容滿面地招呼著客人。我心腸壞,一廂情願地覺得她們的笑容是因為當日只是festvial的第一天。過多兩天,勞役過度,大概不是這副面口了。排在前面的男人叫了一杯lemonade,黑美女找錢找多了,男人把多了的零錢退回給他,黑美女一臉歡喜地把lemonade的錢退回給她,說是她請客。「For your honesty。」這時候於腦中閃過的,可以是日本熱血青年式的:「嘩!互信互愛!好festival spirit啊!」但你想真一點,退回找多了的錢給別人,根本是天經地義的事;你不退,簡直是偷,壞心腸如我直頭想報警搵警察拉你。為什麼我們做一些根本應該做的事,會得到獎賞?這是什麼世界?
聽過有人說在Woodstock,festival spirit的終極體現是sharing drugs (大概還有body吧),我兩樣都唔好,因為感冒連酒也沒有多碰;2009年Glastonbury的festival spirit (如果有這東西存在的話),對我來說是sharing toilet paper。人有三急,行了一大段路走到露天廁所,才醒起沒有廁紙 – 截停身邊行過的女孩求救,她從牛仔褲袋扲了張貌似用過,但佢堅稱乾淨的紙巾出來給我。「That’s all I have。」在危急,而廁紙又那麼珍貴的情況之下,I trust her。之後那天,還有鄰居營友無限量供應衛生巾…… 你信不信也好,那可能是我的second best Glastonbury moment。(The best當然是在星夜下跟幾萬人一同聽Blur唱Tender。)
I never thought of Glastonbury as “watching lots of concerts in a few days”. It kind of depresses me when I know other feels this way. Why brother?
Back home. London, Brighton, Liverpool, Lisbon and Porto. But what sets off this trip is the Glastonbury Festival – one more box ticked in that “things to do before 25” list. This last one comes a bit late but I accept that. It was the last and I almost didn’t want it to come. What’s next? I don’t know. Whatever I say I am thinking/ reflecting that is what I am not. Anyway full pictures and “story” (I don’t recall anything remarkable happened, though) will come soon, if anyone cares to be noticed.
I have completely ignored this blog and I will continue to ignore it in the foreseeable future. But the link to last trip plus a recent trip to Macau (for watching Cirque du Soleil) is HERE.
Again something I have seen on the 13-hour flight back home. I practically bursted into laugher by these, together with an old episode of Frasier where Frasier’s dad pretends to be gay to get rid of an old woman who fancies him. And these are all purely coincident. As for the trip… soon… soon… J

It’s rude and mean and political incorrect. And in one word it is – FUNNY. Created by the same brain behind Avenue Q – that explains a lot hehe.

Samuel Barnett (Posner in The History Boys) goes campy again. And it is set in 1997 –nostalgia for our generation!
