Festivals
There is nothing like the feeling of standing on stage as the sun sets, a warm breeze washing over you that carries on it a cumulative smell of wood smoke, hash, and unwashed hippies, as you prepare to play your first song.

As the season starts, tell us about your music festival experiences, good and bad.

Hobbies that didn't Last
What things have you picked up and put down almost as quickly? Why did you decide they were a bad idea? Why did you pick them up in the first place?

For example:

-I started learning contact juggling in April. After accidentally smashing a biscuit jar into an unsuspecting photo frame, I decided I couldn't afford to keep being crap at it long enough to learn.

-My sister-in-law wanted me to teach her belly dancing. She spent out on all the shimmys and crop tops, and then gave up after a month because she was embarrassed by the excessive surface wobbling involved.

-A friend wanted to learn to sing. She gave up after two weeks because her teacher couldn't stand the sound of her voice and convinced her to quit.

Childish Money Making Schemes and Inventions
My demented mum recently confided in me that she and her brother had once thought up a brilliant money making scam when they were kids. They found that upon dunking, rich tea biscuits almost doubled in size. There plan was to buy them in bulk, dunk them in tea and make a tidy profit by selling the inflated cookies at inflated prices. They wondered why no-one else had ever thought of it before.

Needless to say it didn't work out too well.

What childish ideas or inventions have you have and what happened?

Police
Have you ever been arrested? Been thrown down the stairs by the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad, with hi-LAR-ious consequences?

Or maybe you're a member of the police force with chortlesome anecdotes about particularly stupid people you've encountered/ had to take home/ arrested.

Do tell...

And I'll suggest this one again, just in case.
I was cycling to my mate's house recently and out of a side-street shot a man in his 50s in a Dennis the Menace style 'cartie' and cackling like a loony as he did so.

"What would make a better paralympic sport? Blind turntable archery or flid-boxing?

I had been friends
with the girl across the road since we were both 5. When we were 13, we were walking across an overgrown field/meadow on the edge of town when we started play-fighting. She got me to the floor and pinned me. "Ha!" she said triumphantly, but then I managed to roll and ended up pinning her. Rather than trying to push me off, she wrapped her arms and legs around me and pulled me down onto her but I managed to wriggle free.

Some months later, she admitted that on that July afternoon, the hot sunshine had made her horny as hell and sexy things were going to happen, but my innocence had secured my virginity for another 4 years.

Tell us about your missed opportunities.

Genuine double entendres
Picture the scene; a group of boys on a school trip being told by their straight-faced teacher to put their luggage in the "bell-end" of the tent.

I've never known a group of people to laugh for a whole week.

Lesson's learned
I once had a female boss who I saw crying, so I asked her what was wrong. An hour later I'd hear about her marriage breaking down, the cancer of a sone of a friend, the ill health of her cat, her broken down car, the 'D' grade acheived by her daughter in English, her failed holiday plans and her broken finger nail.

I learned never to care about a problem experienced by anyone else again*.

What lessons have you learned?

*Well, problems experienced by a collague anyway.
