Title: The all new disastrous long weekend away for the Nicks thread
Post by: Nick on July 28, 2009, 06:55:23 PM
 Banghead Banghead Banghead

Mrs Nick summons me unto the computer.

'What do you think we have a long weekend away here? ' Shows image of 4* 15th century coaching inn in rural location.

When?

'In a couple of weeks.'

OK

We book. Pricey. Job done.

Then I hear her on the phone.  rubschin:

Turns out this is so we can attend a Welsh Latin American Festival. Every fooking Paul Simon playing Peruvian band in the world will be there, along with white rastafarians, people in caravans, people with dogs on strings, people stinking of patchouli oil and dressed in home made clothing and - the highlight - an ALL DAY FOOKING SEMINAR with the Bolivian ambassador.

She has stitched me up!!  Banghead Banghead

I shall wear a suit at all times, I have decided. I can feel my buried Thatcherite alter ego rising up  eveilgrin:

There are a lot of Welsh Peruvians I understand. Something to do with mining in days long gone. Welsh communities emigrated to Peru and we got Paddington Bear and those b@st@rd flute players on Oxford Street.

Yes it does support Sat Nav as badly as everywhere else.
I could tell you how to pronounce the name of the place but it will get you into more trouble than even you are used to. Just remember in Welsh the stress on syllables is not as it is in English. With the town you are going to the stress is on the middle syllable and that is where the problem lies.
As phonetically as I can manage to write it it is pronounced M'c unt clith. Now run it all together with the stress on the middle of the word and you are getting somewhere near to Mrs Nick slapping you and The Boy having a fit of hysterical laughter ~ but you will sound as if you are trying to learn the language for which the natives will lurve you

I have just had a telephone call from Nick ~ he is hysterical. I have never heard him laughing so much. He says it is pissing down, everyone is camping it seems and he and Mrs Nick don't dare mention that they are staying in a four star hotel.

He tells me that everyone is Vegetarian of the worst sort ~ loads of Wicans and Hippies everywhere and the local butcher has put a sign in his window saying "All meat in this shop is vegetarian ~ All our animals eat only grass".

Honestly he sounded like the "Laughing Policeman"  ~ Says he has never seen anything like it in his whole life.

Last evening they had the treat of a Down's Syndrome Accordion Band complete with carers on the stage. Cruel to laugh but I nearly wet myself at his description of it.

I'll leave it to him to tell you the rest.  happy001 happy001 happy001 happy001

Context

Mrs Nick has an interest in all things Latin American. She wanted to go to Macy Machyn machnyll that part of Wales for a three day conference on Latin American indigenous peoples. They had some good speakers actually (from her point of view) including a couple of Ambassadors including the Carla Bruni lookalike Bolivian Ambassador to Paris  eyes: who is also a singer. Fair enough.

Unfortunately, like, the people who have an interest in the liberation or whatever of Latin American indians (not allowed to call them that) tend also to espouse various combinations of the following:

Green politics
Mung Bean eating
'Sustainability'
Home made clothing
Bikes
Drumming
Hair braiding
Patchouli oil
Wind power and organic tofu
Excessive smiling
Counter cultural music and poetry

They in turn attract other dispossessed groups including:

Hare Krishnas
Welsh and Iraqi Communists
Alternative healers
Wigwam dwellers
Face painters
Reflexologoists
Yurt manufacturers

Set the whole thing in Macy Machyn machnyll that part of Wales which is populated by retired hippies and they all pile in and invite their witch and wizard pals who turn up with stripey clothing and dogs on strings. In this fandango 'inclusiveness' is all which accounts, I suppose, for the truly fearful Downs' Syndrome Accordion Group (with carers). Let us say they had little aptitude for the instrument and leave it at that  noooo:

The town even has an Organic DIY shop FFS  (whacky115) and the rest of the shops major in:

Candles
Crystals
Knitted thingies
Beans in hessian sacks
Organic snacks

This accounts for the local butcher fighting back with his Vegetarian Meat notice.

Wenchy wouuld love it.  angel1

I spent almost all of the time curled up in an armchair rereading Stalingrad ( eveilgrin:). The Boy went Free Range for three days with a load of other kids, had a great time and has now lost his voice  cloud9: His altercation with the Hare Krishna Drummers is part of grwoing up.

Pastis summarises well. He failed to mention:

Bob the anarchist poet ( noooo:). Bob

suffers from depression
had a gf who left him on Wednesday
told everyone all about it at enormous length
made his own clothes (in military style  Shrugs:)
carried saucepans on a string round his waist.

See:

Yes the witches did cop off with the Iraqi communists and went to the roughest pub in Macy Machyn machnyll that part of Wales where they were picked on by the local lads. A fight started (I watched from a safe distance) and the witches really put the boot in. I got to quite like the witches (they were funny) but they hated the Lesbian drummers on the grounds they were too 'aggressive' (whacky115) which is true, cos they scared the shit out of me  scared2:.

The main organiser turned out to be a happy clappy (40s, patchwork suit, guitar, grin) who tried vainly to interest me in Jesus twice.

A couple of people approached me to enquire my 'affiliation'. I explained I represented the 'Libertarian, Atheist Carnivores' and they soon ran off. I think I was classified as a loony, which is quite an accolade in that context  angel1.

So much more:

The solar powered cinema (BM please note)
A woman who talked ceaselessly about Fenner Brockway (look him up)
Razz the Tottenham Troubadour who looked like an escapee from a medieval circus
Too many harpists
Solas Amaru, Shamonic folk music and dance  noooo:
The list goes on

Oh yes, the Moon Adoration Ceremony

I was on a bus on Saturday morning ( early burly ) as all the bloomin tube lines seemed to be suffering the plague of weekend engineering works.

Anyway there was some scroat of a man walking across the road absolutely sozzled out of his brain. This was about 7am !!!!

So he walks in front of the bus  noooo:

The bus driver naturally slows down but cannot go round him as there was no room and eventually comes to a stop in front of the tyre fodder.

The Neanderthal then presses his head against the windscreen and starts slurring abuse to one and all.  Several passengers got out of their seats and helped the situation by cursing the bloke and shouting at him  noooo:

He then calmly pulls the windscreen wipers down and rests one arm over one of them and the other arm over the other. He looked like he'd been crucified  eeek: eeek: eeek:

The driver couldn't let passengers off cos it was a busy road and so phoned for the police.

6 cars turned up  - a scuffle ensued with much cursing and swearing and he was then 'thrown' into the van  eeek: and then the bus driver radioed for help and ceased the journey at the next stop because one of the windscreen wipers had been broken

Ah... top deck of a Routemaster...  cloud9:

I was on the top deck of a bus many years ago...I dont know what it was, the motion of the bus maybe, but I got a stonking hard on. Couldn't get off. Went four stops past the one I wanted to get off at.

BTW Miss D...It's scrote, not scroat...simples  ;D


Apparently it is the vibration of Routemasters , it does not work for women, but the vibration of motorcycles do.  I have got no idea how I know this or indeed if it is an urban myth.

Myth
The only thing you get from sitting on a motorbike for any length of time is a sore bum. (No I wasn't referring to my ex husband)

My ex used to delight in cattle grids whenever we drove over one. Mind she was known to sit on the spin dryer  whistle:

I'd put that paint pod on Ebay or the local tip ~ it clearly is doing you no good at all.

Think he may have been sitting in the wrong place on a routemaster .

I thought he said he was standing?
