Eskimos and snow - Glastonaughts and mud

TAFKASair · #1 20-06-2011, 12:14 PM

Legend has is that the Inuit have dozens of words for snow (They actally don't, they have descriptions of differing types, but hey it's a fun 'fact')

So, Glastonaughts, how many different types of mud are there?

- Evil wellie-stealing mud, thick and sucky
- Soupy paddy-field mud that sprays all over you and in which the unwary walk through in flip-flops.
- Deep soupy mud that comes ver your wellie-tops.
- Lovely, joyous bouncy mud, as it dries out on a sunny day
- Token mud: only found around taps on dry years.

I'd suggest Idiot mud - generated by people washing their wellingtons under the taps

Sneaky mud- the kind that stays hidden for days after you have washed youself, spending ages in the bath and shower. Yet its somehow managed to survive! I suppose that what you get when you decide to go for a mudbath

Why would anyone wash their wellies, surely they will just get muddy again?

Another one that winds me up is people actually washing and brushing their teeth at the taps in the mornings - WHY?! Have these people not heard of collapsible water carriers?

There is no need to use the taps for anything other than filling up your water bottles/carriers, anything else is just silly/inconsiderate!

Could not agree more, water carriers are so cheap and you can get them in Poundland!

Just fill it up and be on your way easing the line behind you so it moves quicker!! A little consideration makes for a happy festival!!

They caused far too many queues. Water carriers all the way and get Mr Nelly to throw water over you for all over wash.

Dry shampoo is a very good friend, alongside Baby Wipes!

Im a guy with short hair and even I splash out £1 (yes, one solitary pound) on a can of dry shampoo, its seriously good stuff, really stops your hair being greasy and makes it smell really fresh too!

No excuse for using sinks lol rant over :P
