Glastonbury Festival - Even more like a Tardis than a Turdis?

Even more like a Tardis than a Turdis?

26 Jun 2004

Hmm, Pisser... Glastonbury's new urinals, seen in the Hostility Area (sorry, Hospitality) are a curious invention indeed. Like a big menhir from 2001:Space Odyssey. Except it's grey, and there's a few of them, and there's no monkeys jumping up and down going, ahem, 'apeshit'. Although I'm not too sure about that last one. The four corners are cut away and one person stands on each corner and wees into the middle. Nice.

But opinion is split on their merits, as Theo Jefferies from Gloucester points out: "I've had some of the best conversations in my life at the trough urinals. I've actually been known to hang around long after I've finished and chat to random people. I don't like these, they're antisocial."
Lee: Can I go now? Ian: Somebody shot me in the neck with a tranquilizer dart...
Lee Bane, left, lead singer of New Disease (www.newdiseasemusic.com) was warming to them: "Hehehhh, like something off Doctor Who", he buzzes, "however - I'm a tad concerned about being stalked in the toilets, bugger off."

Actor Ian Aspinall, right, (Mubbs Hussein from Holby City) agrees, "Doctor Who, definitely", before handing me a BBC postcard of himself in character. I hold it next to his face, comment that it's a pretty good likeness and who is it? Oh dear, that wasn't very clever was it. Ian scowls at me for a moment then stalks off to perform the heimlich maneuver on some bloke choking on a hog roast.

The jury is out. What do you think? Do these toilets spell certain doom for the Social Khazi? Answers on the back of a portaloo please. Or you can just email us...
