Goodbye!

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

FACT.
True enough, apparently...

I'm curious as to why Ob pooped in his tent. :eyebrow: :p

Poop story: I was supposed to sleep in my own tent - and my two mates were supposed to sleep in their tent.
But they had brought two mattresses to sleep on - mattresses however are not allowed in the camping area. So now they had nothing to sleep and decided to sleep in the car.
I thought to myself "Do I want to sleep alone in this crazy alcoholic jungle? No, of course not".

So now I stood their with a cheap ass tent (it cost like £6) that I wasn't gonna use.

The toilet facilities on the festival are really awesome. Imagine this: you have a couple of hundred porta potties (is that what they are called? They're like big portable bathroom stalls) - and about 30.000 people who drink alcohol and eat junk food (or nothing at all).
They all drop their hungover poo in the porta potties - and sometimes they are filled with poo all up to the toilet seat.
We all now what hungover poo smells like - but imagine when it's cooked in a big plastic toilet for about 12 hours (it was extremeley hot).

So... I could either pack up my crappy tent and take it home with me and not poo for three days (I refuse to use the nasty toilets there). Or I could poo in the fresh tent, and then act like I never even bought the damn thing.

I can proudly say that I squatted in the tent and layed out a nice pretzel shaped turd.

Best **** in my life.
Can't believe I'm still here.

The poo situation at festivals always gets me down.

Even less now that I've got a spring-break.
Presumably you still leave the house on occasion? On these occasions you will smell and people will not like it.

And if not for them, why not do it for yourself? Bad hygeine can lead to bad health.

As someone who used to shower infrequently, Preds, I beg you to get in the habit. Someone may actually want to live with you someday.

Ob: :lol: poop!

Dunno, but here's a little Glasto story for y'all while we're sharing.

Coupla years back now, me and the then missus (crazy Danish lady) were extremely skint, but there was petrol in the car so we decided what the hell, we'd go to Glastonbury anyway and be skint there. So we rocked up with a sleeping bag each and about £20 spending money, jumped the fence, and started out across the fields.

Almost immediately we bumped into one of my mates (who also happened to be living with my missus) on Pennard's Hill. Turned out he'd had the same idea as Ob, and had brought along a crap tent specifically for, well, crapping in. We said, "well, have you yet?" He was like, "Nah, we've only just arrived and pitched it."

As a result, we had somewhere to sleep for the festival and he had to use the portaloos* like everyone else.

*Note for Ob, "portaloo" is more common than "porta-potty" in the UK, probably because it rhymes with "Waterloo" and lets lazy sub-editors in the music press use "Portaloo Sunset" as a catch-all festival headline. Every ****ing year.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

And because potties are exclusively used by those under five...
Grrr. Argh.
