Weeing + Large Crowds

[whisty]

I probably would piss in a field though...

[Superscally]

Well as I know it's virtually pure water after five pints and if noone saw what I'm doing due to poncho use and I pour it on the ground where I personally stand, there is no issue for me. I only did it if on an occasion when I absolutely had to, such as in the middle of a set when I'm at the very front and felt I couldn't make it to the loo in time. If I had to do so again I will, but I'd like to hope that that couldn't happen again. It's not an offence and has (in those circumstances) no environmental impact. However I do advocate only doing it if you have to. Standing in one spot, especially if you can move reasonably easily and doing it all day, is however just a bit wrong and lazy.

People ain't earned the right to sit in my piss!

[Superscally]

Virtually pure water? Nonsense, it's bad for the enviroment and could loose the festival its licence.

Not an offence? Nonsense, If you urinate where someone can or might see you are in violation of laws against public exposure, and possibly lewd behaviour.

"That said, two 'witnessings'.

1 - Last year when at the rear of the inner area waiting for Beyonce there was a large party alongside me, mostly women. They took it in turns to form a circle so that each of their party in turn could squat and pee onto the floor. UCK

2 - Some years ago during a flooded Glasto (can't remember which year) I was walking from Other Stage to Jazz World (now ... Holts) and witnessed a bloke stop just off the path (the water was at least ankle deep), pull it out and just piss into the water. Again UCK"

[abdoujaparov]

I'm not too selfish and idle. I'm in a position where I would be unable to get to a toilet in time. I wasn't advocating doing it as a standard.

[APC]

There is nowhere on site so far from a toilet as to make it impossible to reach.

[Superscally]

Yes you are. There is nowhere on site so far from a toilet as to make it impossible to reach. Whether you want to admit it or not, you are selfish. You put your own petty considerations above the desire of others not to have to walk around in your piss. Selfish is the only word to describe if. Face up to it.

[whisty]

You don't know my circumstances you prick, so pipe down. I don't stand at the Pyramid all day pissing about. I don't take a crate of the ale to the front and get fucked up. I have beers during the day and will often get into the crowd for a couple of bands before if I want to see the Pyramid headliner. I will go to the loo when possible. If this is during the very middle of the final headliner, I wouldn't make it there, so I'll do that. Have you ever been caught short and had to go behind a hedge. Yes you have, you're bullshitting if you say you haven't. i also have no problem with other people doing it, as long as they aren't just stsying in one place, pissing in the same spot every half hour. If you'd have read the whole thread, you'd have seen me debunk the myth that people having a discrete wazz of VIRTUALLY PURE WATER does not pollute the environment. Pissing in the hedges all day long, first thing in the morning after a night on the sauce does. I don't do that. I don't advocate it. Throwing piss is wrong. I don't do that. I don't advocate it. Exposing yourself is wrong. I don't do that. I don't advocate it.

I'm not telling people to piss with gay abandon everywhere, all I'm saying is try not to do it, if you have to do it, don't get your dick out in public or get piss on other people and also that the environmental pollution is a complex one that you can't tar with one brush.

My stance is similar to theirs, as I've just explained. I was just saying that I believe that in the circumstances that I've outlined (I will use an Oasis bottle or two) I don't care whether other people do similar as it affects noone physically. I'm sorry if it offends your sensibilities, but unless you were constantly staring at me, you wouldn't know it was happening and it certainly wouldn't go on you. Worst that would happen is a tiny bit on the inside of my poncho. Not bothered, it's just water. Have I mentioned that?

[Paul ™]

I'm sure if you explained this to Michael and Emily they'd realise how wrong they are and change their stance on peeing...

If its just water then surely you won't mind pissing in your oasis bottle and swigging it back then. Solves the whole problem of any piss hitting the ground whatsoever

Good point, however I'd mentioned it was virtually water a bit earlier. Couldn't be arsed to type it again. Now I've typed all this. Oh dear. That would then lead to a vicious circle as I'd need to wee again and the addition of any recent protein products would concentrate my urine slightly more, thereby making it less palatable and less likely to drink after a few repeats. The ingestion of increasing concentrations of urea would eventually, if I'd tried my hardest and succeeded in avoiding a drop hitting the floor, would lead to the onset of uraemic encephalopathy, which coupled with mild inebriation would lead to me going crazy, whipping my junk out and spinning like a dervish covering all and sundry including Abdou's poor nipper who was sitting in the front row for Paint it Black. I apologise for these actions in advance.

Actually, I'll just put a lid on the bottle and pour it away later.

P.S. Paul - do one you bellend - how is that stance selfish? It affects no-one but me.

Have done it about 4 times ever, half and half. This year I'll do the bottle as I used this successfully last time. I'll do the bottle if I have one, if I don't I'll do that, but it won't happen as now I know I have an option that works for me and is less "wrong" I will use that.

You'll have seen in a previous post I said "I will use an Oasis bottle or two".

I have no issue with other people doing either option as long as they don't do it as a matter of course and they abide by rules of discretion.

[Paul ™]

less "wrong'"

Love the fact this selfish prick is trying to justify that it is ok the way he does it but chastises others for doing it in other ways which makes it wrong.. brilliant stuff, you're mother must be so proud of you.

Supersally, all I can say is thank god you're in the overwhelming minority. What a truly horrendous place a crowd would be if everyone just thought, fuck it I'll drink as much as I want and if I need a piss I'll just flop it out or squat. The whole field would be one big urinal.

And that's the point you miss. Your disgusting habit only has no real ill effect, because the vast majority are far more humane than you. And that wonderful science you quoted earlier is bullshit, as the stream pollution a few years back proved.

[Superscally]

She's dead actually mate.

Why am I selfish? My actions impact on absolutely no-one and nor will they do. Are you aware of the definition of selfish? They do have books that explain the meaning of words in many common outlets. The only selfish thing I'm doing is standing in front of someone and seeing as I'm likely to be shorter than them it's prob no issue. I'm also saying I understand if someone did it as long as they took every measure to make it have no impact on others.

At approximately 2200 on Saturday 29th June, I may have to pee in a bottle, under my poncho, which will end in a toilet about an hour later. I will not herald this or celebrate the fact that I am doing it, so what am I doing that is selfish?

The GreenDrops - it's not bullshit, as that was caused by people pissing left right and centre at all times of day. I'm talking about a very limited timeframe, with limited numbers, with very dilute urine. if people actually read what was I saying... my earliest posts were saying to avoid doing it. That's still my attitude.
