‘All of the sofas had to be thoroughly vacuumed as a precaution. ‘It was quite the hassle’, Jorn, a business management student, says.

With everything so full of burrowing, itching mites, one might wonder how you’d ever get rid of them. It was all a bit musical chairs there for a while.’ Endless washing, and quite hot too. ‘We’d briefly have people over and tell them not to sit down for fear of them catching it. They were in our sofas, armchairs, and likely all of our bed linen’, Redger recalls. It was game over before we could even try to prevent getting them ourselves’ Within a few days of Jorn’s escapades, Redger had realised his itch was scabies. ‘Before we’d cottoned on to Jorn having scabies, he’d sat all over the sofas. They were in our sofas, armchairs, and likely all of our bed linen ‘I’d thought perhaps I had brushed up against a nettle or something – you know that sort of warm, prickling feeling.’ Redger has form when it comes to scabies though, this latest infection being the third time in little over a year he has been home to these itchy mites. ‘At first I really wasn’t sure what I was dealing with’, remembers Redger. Nettleīut of course, an itch can be anything. The ‘scabies’ you see are in fact burrows, their homes which they’ve excavated out of your skin.

The parasite burrows itself into the skin of its victims who are left with an insatiable itch. Scabies will notify you, though – that’s for sure. But since it is not a notifiable disease (a doctor doesn’t have to report a case to the regional health authority), where it has come from is not clear, says Peter Horinga of the GGD Groningen. Scabies has been making the rounds in Groningen as of late, with the bugs enjoying the close, cosy spirit of many of the city’s student houses. ‘We’re no detectives, but we were fairly certain we know who introduced scabies to our household’, he says with a knowing smile. ‘Jorn gets around a bit’, says Redger Barels, a third-year student of liberal arts and sciences. Sadie Yukon, 56, a stylist at Jack & Danny’s vintage store near the Pyramid stage, said glittery jackets and novelty tailcoats had flown off the shelves as fans were “sparkling up for Elton”.As with many good student stories, it all started with a one-night stand. When you’ve got a star like that they get more excited – I think we’re on the way up this year,” said Mira Baldwin, 18, at Glastonbury’s biggest craft trader, Loud Elephant.
“We’ve been selling lots of glittery stuff. “I want to hear Bennie and the Jets, Candle in the Wind, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road – songs I’ve been hearing since I was a little kid but, like, in my face.”Įlton’s first – and presumably last – Glastonbury show has provided a boost for the site’s biggest vintage retailers, which by Saturday had sold out of £10 feather boas, while cowboy hats, novelty glasses and £60 sparkly jackets were also in demand. He surprised fans when he turned up at the famous Glastonbury sign on Saturday.Īlejandro Torres had travelled 5,590 miles from Bogotá, Colombia, just to see Elton’s UK farewell. Sir Paul McCartney, who headlined the Pyramid stage last year, had also been rumoured to feature as he was spotted at the side of the stage for fellow rockers the Pretenders and Foo Fighters. She fuelled speculation on Friday with an Instagram post of artwork of a McDonald’s meal next to a jar of roses, captioned with three union jack flags. The American singer collaborated with Elton last year on a remixed Tiny Dancer. Rumours swirled around the site that Britney Spears had been spotted at Bristol airport. “If we do need the toilet we’ll go in a relay,” she said. “We’ve both taken an Imodium so we don’t need to go to the toilet,” said Kerry Robinson, 53, who had planted her camping chairs and cool bag at the front of the stage by 11am – 10 hours before Elton was due on stage. Thousands had staked a place at the front of the stage by midday, armed with sun cream, sequins and, crucially, tablets to suppress any bowel movements that might cost them their prime spot.
I’ve grown up with his music because my parents always had him on and I’ve never seen him before,” he said. By 10am, he had secured a prime spot at the front barriers, a position he was determined to keep for the rest of the day.
