Punk Rock
I'll be going to Rebellion in Blackpool, I go every year.

It's just like the festivals you kiddies go to with a few differences:

You'll be sleeping in a tent.
I'll be in a hotel.

You'll sleep in a sleeping bag.
I'll sleep in a bed.

You'll carefully hover over the portaloo toilet trying not to touch the mountain of shit sticking up through the seat.
I'll be reading the paper in the en suite.

You'll wash by squirting cold water over yourself with a hose.
I'll have a shower.

You'll eat burgers bought at rip-off prices from a bloke in a van.
I'll be perusing the menu in the restaurant.

You'll be dropping, snorting and smoking various substances.
I'll be drinking 4% strength lager and pacing myself.

You might not sleep all weekend.
I'll go up to bed when the miserable night porter refuses to serve us anymore.

You'll watch a mixture of big names and up and coming "essential" bands.
I'll watch a load of fat, bald, middle aged reformed punk bands.

You might get a shag off a pretty student.
I might have a wank whilst watching countdown.

I'm getting old, I'll be 38 soon you know.

Now this sounds like my kind of festival.
Middle-aged punk rockers and a comfy bed.

Okay...
...my desire to attend a festival has now taken a slight shift - gayers never turn their noses up at home comforts :)

Does this gathering have such a thing as a linky?

Fuck
me with a spanner, that sounds rather good - and I've just noticed that the lurkers are playing and it's my birthday, and fuck it - I'm going!
