Having been confronted by queue 'entertainers' at the Hendricks stand at a recent festival, and being accused of being a tad grumpy by my response of: "I just want a gin and tonic", followed by my experience at the Ardbeg van when, having been handed a song sheet and being invited to join a sing-a-long, I responded with: "I just want some whiskey", @jivedubbin and I decided that a festival for grumpy people might be very popular amongst a certain age-group and disposition. There would have to be a mix of things that make you grumpy, and things that grumpy people enjoy, in order that people didn't leave too happy at the end We came up with a few ideas, A big TV screen you can shout at to your heart's content Tutting and sighing competitions Amnesiacs corner where you can try and remember peoples names Young people walking along talking on mobile phones that you can target What have you got?
A train carriage to sit in where you can fail to focus on reading your book because of the constant 'ntss ntss ntss ntss' from a set of earphones behind you.
A queue to stand in for your white coffee where you have to wait for fifteen minutes while three people in front of you order skinny mocca latte chinos with caramel squirts that take bloody ages to assemble by hand, to be pressed by the staff when it's finally your turn on whether you are having a good day and to be told that they don't do filter coffee but you could have an Americano.
We could sit around congratulating ourselves on our brilliance. http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160809-why-it-pays-to-be-grumpy-and-bad-tempered
A festival for all of the glamorous girlies Twittering there mates in Primarny, where they all say sorry instead of excuse me. Sounds like it'd be a great festival, at least you wouldn't get rammed by Radio Flyers
This sounds like my cup of tea ( sorry if that's an annoying phrase) - I need to have another look at the Grumpy Old Men series for some ideas.
Gone are the days when you could make a nice cup of Horlicks and listen to “Smack my Bitch Up” on the radiogram.
You could have a Grumpy oldie smiley contest or. Grumpy oldie queuing contest. @Lord Congi would be mint!
