"It's just a piss up in a field"

[antbfc]

Just thought I'd share this

The above statement came from a work colleague today.

My thoughts;

• You're right, it is.
• However if you have never been, then you will never know how amazing said "piss up" actually is and what it involves.

Had a similar conversation with a work collegue this week. 'I love my live music, but I'd much rather watch it in proper arenas not in a field miles away'. I asked what was his last gig... He said 'Snow patrol last year'. The conversation ended there.

Some people are a lost cause.

Yes but it is the best piss up in a field !!!!!!!

[ukdaasfan]

Well it's a piss up in multiple Fields if you want to be pedant. What is wrong with a piss up a field ?

[antbfc]

I know and this guy is a self proclaimed "outdoors" person

Something amiss

[Thearg]

And a jump to the left!....sorry

[Bathimp]

That's the best bit about it!

The simplicity of the concept but the wonder of the execution!

I love piss ups... & I love fields! Win-win

[bexj]

Well it is.... But only you and I (and a few others) know the truth

[Jackmypie]

I love pissing, up in a field.

What is the difference?

[Mr_Grump]

They should go to 'Kendal Calling' if they want to see a piss up in a field (or rather, half of Manchester pissed up in a field)

[Thearg]

and then a step to the right.

I'm sorry too. So very sorry. The thing is I also can't help but revert to a bit of camp high jinks to alleviate repetition.

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Good on ya Yoghurt!

[mr gumby]

And a jump to the left!....sorry

[Thearg]

No worries. Just thought I'd give you the recognition that your post deserved.

[guypjfreak]

always go back for more

it most definately is, i'd be disappointed otherwise

[beodeejay]

My old boss would rule out meeting during glasto, telling the others i was "away dancing with the fairies"

He was a prat though.

Odd what people think,

On that subject - this is being touted in twitter - ebook by a first timer in 2010. Not read it, but a nice title.

"Turn Left at the Womble: How a 48 yr old Dad survicied his first time at Glastonbury"

[Somersetsun]

I read that last week. It's odd. Almost 40% of the book is devoted to getting there and getting home again. They don't go anywhere but the pyramid and other (with occasional foray to the dance tent) - which there's nothing wrong with but in the end I felt it might be a book that only people who were the same as the writer would enjoy. Would be interesting to hear other people's thoughts though.

Seems a bit like saying St. Peter's Basilica is "just a church", Citizen Kane is "just a film" or Everest is "just a mountain".

It is, after all, the best piss up in a field in the world.

I sometimes wonder at these people who can't take any joy from anything. Life on earth must be pretty boring if you just spend all your time thinking everything is equally mediocre.

And can you think of a better field to have a beer-up in ?
