The Worst Journey in the WorldAspley Cherry Garrard was the youngest member of the Scott Polar Expedition when he and two others lost their tent to the winds of a night-time snowstorm. They spent hours in temperatures below -70°F stumbling about the ice floes hoping they'd bump into it as it was their only hope of survival.
OK, so that was bad, but we reckon you've had worse. We know how hard you lot are.

Glastonbury 2005This was riddled with problems for me. While all my mates managed to afford National Express tickets (rich gits hahaa) I booked myself and a friend on a 'Mega/Fun/Happy Bus' (delete as applicable).
From London, we travelled to Bristol, which took forever. From there we were assured by Bristol Transport services that there would be a free, connecting bus to the festival. Liars, we had to pay £30 EACH and then queue for 4 hours in the baking heat. Local traders were charging £4 for small bottles of coke. It was absolute wank.
Anyway, the way back wasn't much better. Queueing up for 6 hours for the return coach, only to be told it had broken down (this was the supposed free bus) therefore making us miss the megawankbus in Bristol. Non transferanle tickets, and an apology from their head office (and I quote "Good luck getting home, sorry we can't help you.") meant we had to shell out for a last minute ticket on the National Express.
I make no apologies for girth, etc etc. Evil scheming bus driving bastads.
