Holidays - Like Buses, You Wait Forever And Then...

June 29, 2009

I was asked this weekend: "Will you come to Glastonbury with me next year?"

"I would sooner," I replied, "bite off the balls of my own feet, repeatedly lump hammer my gonads, set fire to my hair, ram screwdrivers into my ears, chisel off my kneecaps, force concrete into my arse, and flay my own back with highly heated barbed wire, than spend so much as a single moment even watching the sodding thing on television, never mind spend days watching a load of people I've never heard of, don't like and certainly want to watch or listen, in the company of thousands of bearded gypsies wearing hemp and talking about how it was so much better before it went all commercial, like, man. Does that answer your question?"

"Pretty much. Will you come to Santorini with me for a week at the end of July on a dead cheap flight then?"

"Twist my arm, why don't you."

  if it did not 'burst' when OldNick was there, it will surely not do it when Juzz will be there... Also volcanic islands have their rules ~~standards~~, don't you know...

    It will inevitably erupt on me.

      you mean, OldNick has done all the preparatory work for that?

Santorini is great.

Not so good beaches though, but go to that village on the end of the island (the name is pronounced "ear") and watch the sunset.

Mind you, all the tourists on the island will be there as well.

A boat trip round the crater is strongly recomended.

enjoy.

Could you please specify the sources of inspiration for some of the torture 'numbers' you mentioned?

Some of the methods – like 'setting fire to hair' - is a known procedure from the "Torture Appendix to the Papal Bull Against Witchcraft, 1484", some others, like 'screwdrivers into ears', or 'chisel off kneecaps' are from classical Works like

- "Select KGB Torture Methods in The Gulag Archipelago",
- "The Manual of Gestapo Proceeding in Order to combat Non-Aryans", or
- "The Guantánamo Torture Catalog"

That one with 'concrete into certain body cavity' isn't mentioned anywhere yet. Where from have you quoted that? (purely scientific interest, you understand ...)

I don't fancy the Fest but I love Glastonbury and would visit there given half a chance.

Excellent choice. I'd be pretty much the same as far as Glasto goes.

My cousins (aged 21 and 19) went to Glasto. (last summer) and said it was really good & great line up of well known and not so well known bands but not a place if you don't like getting very, very muddy (ha! who doesn't?)

Bye the way the list here is for 1st timer(in Glasto)

1. 2 words- HAND SANITIZER
2. Loo Roll
3. No Expensive stuff- the gypsies will just nick it
4. Bring Booze
5. Smoke paper
6. Get a t-shirt
7. bring wellies
8. crazy hat
9. and sunglasses
10. finally, have fun!
