Stinky?

A week in a small tent, on a muddy campsite with limited washing facilities, can leave anybody a bit stinky. If you don't think that's a price worth paying for all the fun of the festival, then stay home, bathe regularly, and do whatever turns you on.

Grumpy?

Look carefully at the world as it is. Then imagine how much better it might be if more thought, more effort, and more goodwill were applied in the right places. If the difference between those two visions doesn't make you a bit grumpy, you are probably in need of counselling.


Old?

Growing old happens to everyone who keeps on living. It has some negative aspects, but most of us believe it's better than the alternative. If you disagree, the exit door is over there - if not, lighten up and join the party.

Music?

If the music you like is just noise to me
While the music I love sounds like rubbish to you,
Then you enjoy yours and leave me to mine,
Or as the French put it 'Chacun a son gout'.

Wassail!
