glastonbury


At the bus stop in Glastonbury, en route to the first day of the festival. Nobbled by a guy in black leathers waving a can of lager:

Him: Oi. You got any tickets?
Me: No, sorry.

Him: Michael Jackson's dead.

Me: Yeah I know. Sad, isn't it?
Him: Well no, not really. It's not as though it's AC/DC or something, is it?
