By rights this should be in the "Jokes" thread but as it is a true story it ended up here.
A couple of local lads headed off to a music festival in a car and by all accounts they thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Festival over, somewhat the worse for wear, they headed back to the field where they had parked the car and there it was…...gone. Yep the car was nowhere to be seen. So you can imagine the state of the two well hung over festival goers as they trudged back out to the road. Luckily they came across a member of the boys in blue who was out directing the festival traffic. They unloaded their tale of woe on the officer who was most sympathetic and surprisingly helpful. He pointed out that owing to the festival traffic it was unlikely that the stolen car would have been driven very far. He got the details, got on the radio and alerted all the patrols in the area. The two lads gave personal details and trudged on to the nearest town. A couple of hundred yards down the road they spotted the car parked in a field. Yep you guessed it. Being somewhat below par after a weekend of festival festivities they had gone to the wrong field to collect the car. Over joyed the two lads collected the car and headed out on to the road to join the festival traffic. Half mile down the road they were pulled over by the lads in blue who recognised the car as the one reported stolen a short time earlier. Anyway things did not improve. Driving under the influence, no identification and being in possession of a stolen vehicle. Definitely a festival to remember 1982 88" 2.25 diesel 1992 110 200tdi csw -Zikali 2008 110 2.4 tdci csw-Zulu 2011 110 2.4 tdci csw-Masai |

Not a festival story, but certainly a true inebriated idiot story...
A bunch of my mates rented a cottage on the IOW some 25 years ago. Usual score during the week was to head to the local of an evening and drink copious amounts of Ale. One night, one of the group popped out of the pub for a gasper not to be seen again. The remainder of the group assumed he had walked home. Following morning at the cottage, no sign of the straggler, so after a while they headed out to find him, which they did, approximately a mile down the lane and asleep in a field. They woke him and asked him what he was doing, his reply being that he got lost trying to get back from the cottage so chose to sleep it off and head back in the morning. The friends were perplexed so helped him back to the cottage before venturing out to measure the distance from the pub to the cottage. They returned to inform him that the distance between the front door of the public house he had left and the front door of the cottage he couldn't find, was a total of 8m. The two buildings and their front doors were directly opposite each other, either side of a single country lane  Monsieur Le Grenadier

That's class!!! I tell you lads a funny story about my granddad, He was in the air force, While he was in, him, and air force pals used to go out on the drink, their quarters were brand new but still were not finished, They had to have the balconies fitted, anyway what granddad and his mates used to do, after coming in from been out on the beer, They would go back to their room, and just open the doors leading out of the balcony, and just pee. A few people noticed how fine the grass grew there
Anyway, He had not long come out of the air force, and my uncle had got him so  that he must of thought he was back in the air force quarters, When he got home. Next morning he woke up and found a massive yellow stain on the white painted wall, he then realised what he had done. He said I must have thought I was back in air force quarters, and done all the actions of opening the doors and then peeing off the edge of the balcony. My gran hit the roof when she saw the stain on the wall. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

I was telling a mate of mine about the two stories on here,
He said you should have seen the night out we had for our school prom, They were in an all lads 6th form at the time. Anyway him and the lads went the place where the venue was booked, and they got proper rat arsed and practically turned the place over! Lifting a 15Ft statue from the reception and moving it into the car park, Pulling a toilet sisten down off the wall, due to one of the lads pulling on to it to be sick. Another lad lost his loaf with the TV due to the football team loseing so that was hanging off the bracket, My mate said he was that drunk he didnt even know what day of the week it was. They were dropped off back at school, which was only walking distance from his house, He then decided to walk about 4 miles to the local town centre and then get a taxi back home. His mum went off in a one at him, when she saw the state of him, He had spewed all over the Hired tuxsdo and spent the money his mum gave him for a prom photo on beer. he said the school wanted to know who did what, as the total bill of damage was well into 2.5k. The venue said to the school, not to book their function rooms again. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back
