I got chucked out of autechre at boddingtons warehouse project for pissing outside the toilet cabin. Tried to get back in and ripped my Jeans on spiked fence. Left a message on my friend's phone and he said I sounded like a ghost. Luckily bumped into people I knew who saw me onto and off train.

Drank a pint of mixed spirits in one NYE 86/87, a pint of gin at some point on another occasion too. You’re testing the waters, really, reminds me of the smell of stolen martini

Like surgery and general anaesthetic counting backwards, at some point the glass and world beyond it disappeared. I remember it surging up through my central nervous system, coursing and reaping brain cells, more like a glue or petrol rush

Look back on 10fag/10g hash mixes with abject horror because there was no need for the tobacco at all. What a waste of lungs. You get the teenage experimental period adjusting to your ltd tolerance but, as any experienced imbiber will testify, you can dial up your tolerance quickly with just about anything

Another thread had a post re others supplying you just to get you hammered - spot on - and among younger males I don’t think there’s anything more undermining and brutal, minus violence. One lad at school fucked a car exhaust pipe in front of traumatised onlookers after whisk(e)ygeddon, which was understandably divulged at his wedding many years later

I was decently more wasted than the general pop but not that wasted compared to real wastoids

I once got a lift from the peace convoy en route to a free festival and a hippy poet / troubadour on board the bus bemoaned "I'm too straight for the freaks and too much of a freak for the straights"

one time I came home and there was a purple VW camper full of bales of straw / or hay parked in the driveway and I was "wtf' and then I went into our living room and there was Sid Rawle, king of the UK hippies, sat there pontificating, "bogarting the joint"

[ edit: Sid is the Guy decked out in blankets outside of the circle, lording over all )

levels

he was max XP hippy, didn't mean he wasn't a dick though

like a fucking tory with his 'vision" of us slaving away in fields, except he called it a 'green future' while I called it "a return to serfdom'

and he hogged the spliffs ( and sexist, he kept referring to his "girls" like some sort of Manson )

still, they were a couple of entertaining days and nights, RIP Sid

we were invaded by his mates from Molesworth peace camp and the Tipi valley - my favourite moment was when we were on acid and the lady from Tipi valley turned to me while I was playing side two of 23 Skidoo's Urban Gamelan LP



and she turned to me and informed me "the drums are telling a story'

like, really...fuck off, it's industrial nonsense, I don't credit them with that ability, but still, it IS the best soundtrack to dream machine visions, I did travel back in time listening to them in conjunction with my dream machine, no shit

she wanted her kitten to be vegan ( impossible for cats ) and we spent an afternoon searching for it when she realised it had run away but it did the right thing and got the fuck out of the area

the now elder of Tipi Valley was actually really annoying, he kept waking us up with his off key flute "song dedicated to the sun"

[ ***** ]

you might notice comrades hand in hand in that photo of Sid at Stonehenge

I was once sat in a field at a free festival just getting wasted like you do and then suddenly Nik Turner from Hawkwind / Inner City Unit announced "let's form a circle for the SUN!" and before I knew it I'd been coerced into holding hands with total strangers and we were force formed into a circle and then Nik went "OM!" and the Tipi valley people went "OM" and the peace convoy went "OM" and PRANA went "OM" and POLYTANTRIC went "OM" and the Tibetan Ukranian Mountain troupe went "OM" and the Rainbow Warriors went "OM" and we became..actually I felt awkward as fuck, I was at the beginning of my spiritual journey and I couldn't get out of there fast enough

same festival - I'd necked 2 tabs of white lightning acid ( operation Julie vintage ) , I was fucking flying, but my mate's mates were dicks, they wanted to get down naked ( "let's get naked and howl at the moon" ) and howl at the moon and they'd only had half a tab each so when I heard the Tibetan Ukrainian Mountain Troupe ( AKA WYSTIC MANKERS ) tune up I was off and I sat down in their marquee ( I'll scan and post some amusing story about the TUMT marquee some other time ) and watched a hairy dude destroy a balalaika against a backlight and it was the best show I've ever seen and then someone handed me a joint but then ex-members of the Pink Fairies started jamming along and then Nik Turner from hawkwind started honking away and before we knew it we were ilistening to fully intense hour long jams of Brainstorm

yeah, I might have been a little bit wasted when I was younger

edit:

re; my 'circle for the sun' / 'get naked and howl at the moon' story

while I was coming up on the operation Julie acid some VEGANS ( they were adamant about their dietary choice so I'll capitalise ) told me about a mushroom party they'd been to. but word had got around and when the pubs spilled out the venue was invaded by hooligans who began kicking the shit out of everyone and blood was spurting and spraying and all the trippers starting screaming and it was a bummer man, and they will never do mushrooms again

"set and setting'

@thirdform will hate this documentary because of the "together we will live as one family" tune, which was huge on the New Age traveller rave crossover scene

this is really sad, she died in a car crash while she was driving underage ( edit: I've just found it was actually her sister who died! so still sad, RIP, but I'm glad Rachel is still alive )

I'm posting this because there is a scene where her useless mum is chatting with Brig, and when our "shared living space" was invaded by the Tipi valley people I went for a piss and came across Brig who was passed out in the bathtub and I had to fetch Sid Rawle and together we had to fish Brig out before he drowned



LIQUID - "together we will pull Brig out of the jacuzzi"



there are scenes where the old age travellers burst into song, and my generation just didn't know the words

edit: unfortunately I still know some "site kids" and their education is 1p coin on balance scales = 1 /8 oz, approx 3.5 grams, 2p = 1/4, approx 7 grams, 1/2 oz = approx 14 g, 1 oz = approx 28 g, etc


'a kilo is a thousand grams
easy to remember'



Ghostface - kilo

I still have a half pence piece, a teenth of a oz

for nostalgia purposes only, obviously we all went digital



King Kong - digital we digital

I'm sure I smoked a spliff a day at the very least from age 16 to 30 when my head finally imploded in 2015.

I think ppl are misunderstanding wasted as intoxicated in this thread but they often are one in the same

straight edge til I was a legal adult, it gave me superpowers. Then when I stopped being sober that gave me superpowers too. It all worked out great, I reckon.
