The Completely Pointless Thread

Black pudding/blood pudding just ain't on my list of "gotta try it" foods. But then again collard greens and fatback aren't either.

I guess it's all a matter of individual taste since I will jam myself full of scrapple and there are other folks who won't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Collard greens are actually really good. Especially next to fried chicken, corn bread, homemade macaroni and cheese, and a bottle of hot sauce.

I did a first yesterday
I actually went to Castlepoint with Sue.

It has been open for about 20 years now and only 20 minutes drive, full of the favourite High Street shops. I have never gone because......well because.

To confirm my doubts, never go on a Saturday. When we decided to head for home for a cup of tea the car-park was gridlock with everyone trying to get out too. There is only one exit.
So I parked the car further down and we went into a teashop for half and hour watching the cars get more and more jammed. Once it cleared we got back in the car and raced down clear ramps like something out of The Italian Job.
Great fun!

So now I've sussed it out I know it will be suitable to take mum there, there is loads of parking for disabled.

Park City, known for the fairly well known Sundance film festival, is only about an hour or less from me but I've never been even though they also have lots of artisan type shops and a large outlet center. Why? I guess because it's outside my comfort zone. I've gotten to the point where crowds of people annoy me and I end up getting cranky.

I have always thought it would be cool to go the the Sundance festival, but I am with you on the crowd thing. Too many people=no fun for me.

Crowds of people drive me crazy. I really wanted to go to the oyster festival last year, but we got there and my blood pressure started rising before I even found a parking spot. I ended up going to the seafood market and eating my own oysters at home.

That sounds a better option to me too.
I cannot understand people racing off to Music Festivals. My boss has re-found his youth and goes to them. It rained all weekend the he went to this year, the tent leaked, the public toilets broke down (I guess they always do) but he said besides the discomfort it was worth it to see his wife gets excited about seeing the members of Mudd in the beer tent.

You know, I detest crowds too but there's a tiny part of me that seems to never mind them every time I go into the city. So much so that I would even live there if there were a job for Matt and a big enough place for all the animals. Matt can't figure that one out.
