Quote matt_himself at 25 Mar 2015 1.44pm This sounds crap: [Link] Anyone got anything crapper happening in their area of domicile? It's my birthday that weekend and Mrs KBLF was asking me the other day what I wanted to do.. I was happy to go for a top quality curry in the sleepy, virtually crime free village that I live in.. but now I've seen this I could be very tempted to give all that up for a night in the town that quite often makes me want to shoot my own face off when I work there. Now... Where did I put those plasters.. Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

The Sash Now residing in Epsom - How Posh 25 Mar 15 4.56pm
Many moons ago was down in Sussex and went to a village fete (cant remember where). Highlight of the day was Terrier racing, where essentially Jack Russells chased after a big fluffy mop thing over a course of hay bales etc..a bit like a pared down version of Greyhound racing. I still wake up in a sweat to this day after watching a wrinkled leathery old country boy, who bore an uncanny resemblance to the farmer in Babe, place a Jack Russells testicles completely into his mouth and bite down to make him release the 'hare' after he had caught it As far as the rules go, it's a website not a democracy - Hambo 3/6/2014

Quote ghosteagle at 25 Mar 2015 3.13pm Quote Part Time James at 25 Mar 2015 3.05pm I keep seeing adverts for a Vegan Beer Festival at the local Socialist club. Without going I can be reasonably sure I'd want to choke them all on the bones of an endangered species. How does that work? I never tried to find out as I was too busy drinking a can of raw lard.

Quote Hoof Hearted at 25 Mar 2015 2.55pm Quote Harpo at 25 Mar 2015 2.21pm Quote Harpo at 25 Mar 2015 2.09pm I've never been able to get my head around Literature Festivals! Art Festivals, Music Festivals, Flower Festivals, yes. But Literature Festivals? What's that all about? Which reminds me... We arrived at San Giovanni d'asso in Tuscany, after a 900 mile drive. The next night we went into the village to savour the atmosphere. Just in time to participate in 'The Festival of The Frog'. There were bands, entertainers, impressionists - and frogs, thousands of them - in three enormous pots at various stages of cooking. I went for the Frog Risotto followed by Frog Casserole, all washed down with lots of red wine. Not a crap event, but an unusual one nonetheless. I would have gone for the toad-in-the-hole. brilliant always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

Last year me and Mrs KBLF went to Bude in Cornwall to visit relatives. It was my first ever trip to Cornwall and I loved it. The most mouth opening event occurred whilst there though. On the Saturday we went to watch the annual Bude Parade. We settled in the pub, weather was beautiful. Then all the floats started to come through So we stood on the street with our pints and watched. One of the floats that came past us had a Jamaica flag on the top. On the float were about 10 guys dressed as rastafarians, completely blacked up and smoking huge pretend joints whilst Bob Marley music played in the background.. I'm guessing political correctness hasn't reached Cornwall yet!! Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long.

Presumably no milk stouts, either. Ask me about Ronald de Boer.
