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:
-
That'll be your green velvet suit will it?
-
The dark blue linen I think rubschin:
She says that attending will 'broaden my horizons' Explode:
-
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.
rubschin: I wonder if they want any more Welshmen?
-
I think I shall go to the pub evil:
-
I think I'd be tempted to ask if they have any rooms to let.
-
We are staying in it! eveilgrin:
-
noooo: Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.
It will end in tears you do know that don't you?
-
It always does cussing:
-
happy100
-
No doubt The Boy can teach you to play the pan pipes in two weeks... whistle:

rubschin: I wonder if they want any more Welshmen?
I recall reading somewhere (Gerald Durrell / Bill Bryson ?) that there is a community in Peru where Welsh is still spoken.
-
I thought it was Patagonia rubschin:
-
It is Patagonia, and that is in Argentina
-
It's all foreign. whistle:
-
Pan-pipes in Pant-y-Grdyl ?
-
So odds are we are looking at either a hideous pan pipe related calamity or an exploding llama whistle:
-
I'm going for the exploding llama.
I can feel a poll coming on.
-
I gather there may be donkeys. Llamas have not been mentioned
-
Donkeys?
Where is the poll button?
-
The donkey tried valiantly to get Mrs Nicks luggage into the foyer.

Well, the nightmare begins.
I asked Mrs Nick what time she wants to set off.
12.30 apparently.
happy001 happy001 happy001 happy001 happy001 evil:
-
Do they have t'internet access so you can keep us all updated Popcorn:
-
I dunno shrugs:
-
Mid Wales isn't it? Semaphore then. whistle:
-
Oh I don't know 2 sets of pan pipes and a length of string might do the job, providing Snoops is willing to relay the news as it breaks...pun intended. whistle:
-
In certain parts of Wales the BBC signal disappears. People scamper from town to town with messages written on vellum noooo:
-
I'll have the kids watch for beacons being lit on mountain tops across the country.
-
How would they know it wasn't just a normal hotel fire?
-
Red Sky at Night ~ Holiday Cottage is alight
Red Sky in the Morning ~ Bugger's still burning.
"Isn't it? Look you" ~ As they say in these parts.
-
That 12.30 departure time recedes. After some burbling about ironing Mrs Nick is now gardening whacky115
She is also muttering about going swimming
-
That should be a relief then...less time spent listening to musak and talking to weirdo's whistle:
-
Nothing happening and it's 12.26
-
Are you ready to go then ????
-
No point. I have to stick 3 or 4 t shirts and stuff in a bag along with a book and a toothbrush. Everything else I need is in my pockets.
Feel free to vote in the Prize Poll
-
I've voted! cloud9:
-
I had considered that option and it is not an option as the cancellation would cost us ?75

I had considered that option and it is not an option as the cancellation would cost us ?75
Don't cancel then - just go tomorrer... whistle:
-
I have faith in Mrs Nick ...it will be before the traffic gets too heavy. But whenever it will be Nick won't be ready whistle:
-
Heavy traffic in Wales? Poor innocent child. It's the fooking tractors and sheep that are the problem ::)
-
In certain parts of Wales the BBC signal disappears. People scamper from town to town with messages written on vellum noooo:
Of course the message must first be written in Welsh and only then may it be written in English. evil:

Feel free to vote in the Prize Poll
I voted - what's the prize?
-
Quite so. I can't pronounce the name of the place we are going to, so we are using the SatNav to avoid having to ask directions.

Oh yes indeed they do, it is on a grass verge just south of Llandaff.

Disaster strikes!
Mrs Nick, still gardening at 1.00 disturbs a wasps nest noooo:
She arrives screaming in the kitchen. 11 stings all on her bum razz:
She made me douse it in vinegar.
The Boy said this put him off his lunch lol:
She can't sit down razz:
-
Surely she won't be able to drive now...... rubschin:

Not till the swelling goes down ;D

That's terrible Nick.
We need to know - are the wasps O.K. ?

For the present. I have been instructed to go and deal with them scared2:. I was thinking white spirit and a match eveilgrin:

Well Mrs Nick wanted to broaden her horizon happy001
-
What, exactly was Mrs Nick wearing? rubschin:
Why the bum attack? Why not the arms etc.? She wasn't gardening au naturel was she? eeek:
-
I imagine they thought her bum represented some sort of danger to them. How would I know, I know not the mind of a wasp.
Anyhoo I tried to deal with them but that didn't go too well. noooo:
Thought I had better call pest control since their nest is in our garden shed. ?50!!

Harrummppp...This is just a cunning ploy to skew the voting results. I detect a conspiracy. evil:
-
She is still gardening but has now announced that she is taking the ironing with us to do in the hotel Banghead Banghead Banghead
-
Quite so. I can't pronounce the name of the place we are going to, so we are using the SatNav to avoid having to ask directions.
I spose Wales has a satellite rubschin:
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
-
Tomorrer... whistle:
-
Mrs Nick: I wonder if the hotel has an iron
Me: Of course it does you silly moo. ALL hotels have irons.
Mrs Nick: I will call them to check

I think Mrs Nick can't understand why I am not fretting. It's not like we have a plane to catch and it's not like I want to go to this place anyhoo, so I am quite relaxed angel1

Car sick is I feel a minor thing, dismantling of hotels, blowing up of musicians, launching ballistic missiles, exploding/eating llamas/frogs badgers/ horses/wives/wasps nests count as major and are applicable in this instance, given that the voting was dodgy to say the least. evil:

Having had the pleasure of meeting The Boy I can assure you that M J would have more to fear than vice versa.
Meanwhile I shall sleep comfortably tonight knowing that Mrs Nick has unerringly taken Nick to his spiritual home. A whole weekend of Pan Pipes and beardy weirdies. He'll fit in perfectly.

"The white Rastafarians are playing lutes... a man sings; he has a finger in his ear... Beans pulse, rain falls... "
" A yurt is being erected... "
"Choices: patchworking, moon adoration, Peruvian scissor dancing? I may start a fight eveilgrin:"
They seem to be coming through in rough Haiku form lol: lol:

Awwww bless, I can feel a group hug coming on. cloud9:

"Razz arrives, the Troubadour of Tottenham"
"I yearn for a hand grenade!"

At least nobody will spot any mistakes.

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
-
PS ~ Mrs Nick's bum "flared up" but treatment at A&E seems to have helped. happy001 happy001 happy001

I'm really pleased he's getting so much fun from something he wasn't looking forward to in the first place. Just goes to show you never know.

Quite so Uncle.
Let's hope Mrs Nick sees it the same way. Or perhaps that's part of the fun. . . . . ;)
-
It will end in tears - you mark my words, dyahear now? whistle:
-
I've PM'd him the camera phone pics he sent ~ if he chooses he can post and provide explanations... and boy, do they need explanations! noooo:
-
Christ on a bike. What an experience. The Boy was told to FUCK OFF by the Hare Krishna drummers, the witches got into a fight with some local boyos (and won) and as for Bob the anarchist poet noooo:
I have to go paint podding today evil: but will try to fill you in later
-
Don't go....this is just what I need on a Monday morning ;D
-
I am still mentally frail noooo:
-
We're here to help whistle:
-
We're here to help whistle:
Quite so Miss D, Nick come and lay on this nice comfortable couch, breath slowly in and out and relax. Close your eyes and imagine that you are in a beautiful place, the soothing sound of panpipes washes over you, and as you realize that the gentle rustling on the wind that you can hear is the calming sound of witches fighting over a broomstick, you relax even further. eveilgrin:

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
(https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg6.imageshack.us%2Fimg6%2F5648%2F74943400.jpg&hash=33c3890bdbae244e1ccf83585d54607e2f9f5569) (http://www.postimage.org/)
Mrs Nick did all her Christmas shopping, so everyone is getting Andean hats and aprons this year, handmade by ancient crones. I am sure all will be thrilled noooo:
-
The paint pod will be a blessed relief then eeek:
Feckin hell Nick - so have your horizons been broadened officially to never have to go through such a tortuous weekend again
-
My horizons are exactly where I left them
And I forgot the Peruvian Scissor Dancing
Oh shit, Mrs nick bought CDs Banghead I can hear chanting sounds coming from the kitchen noooo:

When are you moving into your empty property to redecorate ....make it sooner rather than later for your own sanity noooo:

Fortunately Mrs Nick and The Boy are off out tonight. I am off to the pub eveilgrin:
PS The hotel was fab and highly recommended. Lovely grub cloud9:
-
I completely understand that this may be of interest to Mrs Nick and she may actually find such a weekend rewarding but why on earth put you and The Boy through it noooo:
A day may be bearable - knowing that you have a few hours and can then get the hell outta there but a whole freakin weekend of fantabulous freaky fiends at their freaky feistiest is not acceptable.
Just say No - next time
-
I shall not be going again (2011)
Some of these hippy types are quite Stalinist.
The whole shooting match ended up yesterday with a pan pipe accompanied circle dance for all attendees.
I had a fag at a safe distance.
'But you must join in, you must.'
Feck off!
Likewise the numpty who tried to drag me out of my chair
'But the Andean Nose singing seminar is about to start, you must go...'
Feck off

My horizons are exactly where I left them
And I forgot the Peruvian Scissor Dancing

Go and spend some quality time with your paint pod, you deserve it.

Ride this tide of overwhelming public sympathy Nick - you have never had it so good ;)

Oh look, a pensioner (note permanent grinning)

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
cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing: cussing:
-
These drunks have no consideration for other road users do they? ;) I actually quite like a bus if it's not busy; sitting on the top deck surveying London life. But when they have accidents / invaded by the ticket Gestapo / heaving with lowlife... noooo:
-
Ah... top deck of a Routemaster... cloud9:
-
re Nick's "holiday". I have an awful feeling that there may have been a contingent from the Wench extended family there. eeek:
-
Have they mentioned seeing a miserable old beardie who wouldn't join in the festivities, wore strange coloured suits and was accompanied by woman who seemed to be wearing a bustle?
-
I haven't spoken to the travelling contingent. Only Granny who mentioned that the pagans had been in Wales at some sort of a conference!?!?!? eeek:
-
You could compare pictures... whistle:

eeek:
-
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

Thank you Pirate for adding to the elite membership of blokes here that are always correcting me lol:
