[kl-bogel] Music and mud: Glastonbury Festival 2011



Glastonbury, a festival held at Worthy Farm in England, has become Europe's largest such gathering for music fans. Its five-day run ended Sunday, after entertaining nearly 175,000 fans. Heavy rain and mud greeted the attendees, who paid 195 pounds (about $310) for a basic ticket compared to the 1 pound when the show began in 1970. The next festival will take place in 2013. - Lloyd Young (35 photos total)

This year's festival featured headline acts U2, Coldplay and Beyonce. Now in its fifth decade, the event has grown from a humble gathering of 1,500 people on Michael Eavis's Worthy dairy farm in 1970, each paying 1 pound and receiving free milk, to a giant five-day celebration of music costing 195 pounds for a basic ticket.

[kl-bogel] Huzaida..

Aku Ed, bekerja di sebuah pusat servis di Negeri Kedah dan masih bujang. Kisah aku ini adalah mengenai skandal aku dengan rakan sekerja yang berstatus isteri orang iaitu Huzaida. Bagi aku, Huzaida atau nama manjanya, Zaida, bukanlah secantik mana. Kulit sawo matang dan bertubuh sederhana. Selepas Zaida melahirkan anak pertama yang membuatkan aku mula tertarik padanya. Susuk tubuhnya semakin berisi, buah dadanya yang semakin membesar, perutnya yang semakin chubby dan punggungnya yang semakin melentik membuatkan aku menanam cita-cita yang suatu hari aku akan dapat meniduri si Zaida nih. Kami agak rapat sebagai kawan dan Zaida banyak merujuk kepada aku mengenai masalah kerja. Tetapi, kadang-kadang tu setakat sembang-sembang kotor tentang posisi seks, 'berapa kali semalam' dan sekali-sekala tentang saiz batang zakar aku dan suaminya. Memang dengan aku, Zaida 'open'. Ada satu hari tu, aku rasa permulaan hubungan sulit kami berdua, Zaida berhajat meminjam wang dari ak

Cikgu zana Cikgu Zana berusia awal 30an dan sudah berkahwin. Mempunyai 2 orang anak. Bertugas disalah sebuah sekolah menengah di pinggir Kuala Lumpur . Sudah berkhidmat di sekolah tersebut dalam jangkamasa 8 tahun. Sebelum ini beliau menyandang jawatan yang tidak penting dalam persatuan dan kelab di sekolah. Pada tahun ini beliau dilantik menjadi guru pengakap.  Agak kekok rasanya kerana beliau sudah lama tidak terlibat dalam aktiviti pengakap.  Kali terakhir semasa beliau belajar di maktab perguruan dulu. Tapi kerana diberikan amanah, beliau menerima dengan tangan terbuka. "takpe lah, nanti pelan pelan la aku belajar" bisik Cikgu Zana.  Pada bulan februari, beliau diarahkan oleh Jabatan Pendidikan Negeri supaya mengikuti salah sebuah perkhemahan pengakap daerah negeri Selangor di salah sebuah tempat perkelahan di Hulu Langat.  Suami beliau mengizinkan dia pergi. Dengan hati yang berdebar-debar Cikgu Zana mengemas barang keperluan perkhemahan mengik
