If you were at Glastonbury this weekend you are most likely currently feeling the sort of cold, all encompassing dread that is normally reserved for death row. Well, try and stave it off. Even though your body is currently trying to punish you for it, we're sure you had an amazing time. THUMP certainly did, particularly considering the next level electronic music acts on the line up. We spent basically all of our time in dance tents, tucked away bars, and mad hidden kingdoms full of both incredible selectors, and very wavy festival goers. Seriously, if any of Eavis' cows end up grazing anywhere near Arcadia, they will probably end up gurning on their grass.

The proper breakdown of our wild nights in Pilton is here, but in the mean time, we thought we would bring you the fifteen weirdest, funniest, most mind-melting things we heard people saying to each other while they floated off on moon boots this weekend. From the spaced out Stone Circle warriors, to panicked first-timers at Jamie xx, we overheard some pure poetry this weekend. While you wrap yourself up in your duvet and try and stop the voices in your head from winning, why not remind yourself of some of the mad shit you may or may not have said this weekend.

"Is Rio Ferdinand here?" – NYC Downlow, Sunday."Is techno on Spotify?" – Genosys, Sunday."I just heard "Not Nineteen Forever", by the Courteeners, and you know what? It's a fucking good song man. Fucking good. Just a well constructed song. Simple lyrics. Sometimes simple is best. If you strip away all that bullshit indie culture, it's an anthem." – Outside the Sonic Stage, Sunday. He was crying while talking.Follow Angus on Twitter.
