I hate camping
it's always too hot or too cold, sometimes both at once, and it is never comfortable, no matter how many different camoing mats you try out. And once, the mountaineering club I was in (who are renowned for taking incompetence to whole new levels, especially when map reading is involved) managed to set up camp on a bed of wild garlic. It ensured we weren't visited by vampires, but also that other walkers steered well clear of us for the whole trip. It took several showers to rid myself of the reek of garlic.
And then there was the DofE trip where one girl decided to carry her turds with her in plastic bags. That was delightful under canvas.

a friend of mine was once hunting in his tent for bog roll at Glastonbury
"oooh" he says "a bag of shit"
"what, like a bag with a shit in it?" I reply hilariously
"yes." he says holding aloft a carrier bag full of poo which his girlfriend had left in there

Good heavens!
My aunty once climbed over my gf's head, fell on her, continued to stumble into the 'porch' area of the tent where we were keeping our food and drinks, and pissed there. Right there. We could hear her pissing. In our tent. My aunty.

She is vile at the best of times
She keeps picking her nose in my mum's living room and gets really annoyed when we shout at her. I called her a dog on Sunday and she said "Don't you ever call me a dog" and I said "Yes because they only lick their balls whereas you are digging up your fucking hooter."

Wiggy does this all the time, it drives me mad.
I tell him off if I catch him, but the thinks if he's sitting next to me on the sofa that I can't see him. I'm not a T Rex!

You wish you were though
Look, we all pick our noses sometimes. Especially if theres a big massive dry crow blocking it.
Just go to the frigging toilet, pick the offending thing out, then wash your hands thoroughly.

just don't go with any of your family

I'd go camping with my dad
I wouldn't mind him seeing me with hair like Soft Sal and no make-up.

You do seem to have a reverse Oedipus complex.
Maybe you should get it seen to.

What, you mean I don't fancy my dad enough?

No, Oedipus fancied his mum.

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 10:56, Reply)

See Lab's post below
Well if I fancied him properly, I'd MIND him seeing me without my hair done and no make-up wouldn't I?
I make the effort when I've got my sights on a bloke.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 10:58, Reply)

But once you've got the bloke
The make-up remains undone, hair barely even blow-dried, comfortable-but-fading pyjama trousers, pastel cotton pants, odd socks...

I lived with a lass at uni (Smithdown road, no less)
Who would dress up to the nines to bag a bloke, then almost immediately go back to her PJ trews, odd socks and hoody attire whenever she had them 'round. I felt sorry for them, she was quite fit when she put the effort in.

That's terrible
Even if I have to wear pyjamas (say it's inbetween breakfast and getting ready to go out time but it's not sexytiem) they are very nice and they match and ethey're either gingham or spotted or striped and they have short sleves and dainty buttons.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 11:08, Reply)

I'm quite relaxed all of the time
so at least people know what they're getting with me I guess. Odd socks aren't so bad if they can't be seen

I couldn't wear odd socks
I'd have a nervous breakdown

does even being near them
make you break out into a sweat?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 11:11, Reply)

yes
My mate used to live with me and she constantly wore odd socks. I mean even to go to work. Nobody could see them but she was stepping out with a different kind of sock on each foot, all day.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Wed 16 Jun 2010, 11:23, Reply)

shocking
it's enough to make you feel a bit queasy. I bet she probably had missing buttons as well on the inside of her coat

There are times when you don't want to put your clothes on but you don't want to be naked, and sexy nightdress time has just passed
My pyjamas are beauteeful, like semi-outfits.

That's what dressing gowns are for
Although I'll relent and say that PJs are fine for sleepovers.
