haha, i love the understatement: "It's slightly soggy on site at Glastonbury..." looking at the pic, those tents are nearly drowning in a flood.

I was there for the rain years in '97 and '98. I feel for those poor sods.

The only thing that could improve this news is if Mr Paltrow gets hit in the face with a bottle of warm piss.

Wow. I'd think that wandering around in water that's downstream from the port-a-potties would put me right off my banana fritters. "Mmm... It's a bit nutty." /Austin Powers Also, effluvium is a nice word to say.

that makes me feel a little better about missing this year's festival.

So, what are the chances of mud not being thrown at the performers? In my experience, zero.

Wait - they don't hold the festival on the Somerset fens do they? Even drained, they are only one bad storm away from being marshes.

A little late with a comment here, but I thought I'd post as I was a photographer with Guardian Online this year and was camped very near to where most of the photos were taken of flooded tents. You can see some of my photos on the Guardian website here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/arts/gallery/0,8542,1510615,00.html I've also placed many of the photos in a gallery here: www.GlastonburyPhotographs.co.uk
