Seeing a music band involves drinking beer, then queueing up in the cold then drinking more beer and then finally being in a room with a thousand or more people watching an old man sing badly while you have to pretend to have fun.
I quite liked the music the old man was singing, but being in a room with lots of people made the bad thoughts come.
So I left.
My adventure to see the music band made me think about my adventures when I was young and in Lord Baden Powell's Scouting for Boys group. Despite my many written requests, I never did meet Lord Baden Powell. Instead our Scouting for Boys group was organised by a man called Paul Lloyd.
Despite all of the complaints against him, Paul Lloyd was amazing because he let us do our favourites:
Hunting Bobby Dilworth
Drowning Alex McCulloch
Drinking Paul Lloyd's out-of-date beer
Camp fires
Lots of people said our Scouting for Boys group was a joke. I asked Paul why they said this and he responded that "Every single year we win the first aid competition so they can go fuck themselves".
I agreed - they can go fuck themselves. Scouts was brilliant.
