Who believes in Sods Law?

[evansonuk]

You all know what i mean buy sods law right?....

Wait for a bus....then 10 come at once...

Go on holiday...it rains when you're there...but it's a scorcher back home...

Well,

If you're anything like me then i think there is one sure fire way to gurantee Sun...

By some really expensive wellies, umbrella's and waterproofs - because i know if i do it will be an absolute scorcher!!

Just off to Millets.

[norainplease]

I like your thinking!! Probably have done my bit for the scorcher with the boots, waterproofs etc that I have already bought, but am buying gaters next weekend when I get paid just in case!!

[amfy]

I've just seen Gaiters in Aldi for £3.99 - our thinking is very much along the lines of the better equipped for rain we are the more likely it'll be a scorcher!

[BeddyDriver]

Now then , this is the beauty of camper vans......im taking everything, and then a spare set !!!

It helps that i use most of the stuff all summer, and leave a lot of it the van, but if it rains after i bring this lot, then sods law just doesnt exist ,lol

I kinda did the opposite last time I went in 2007. I pig headidly didn't buy any wellies or waterproofs as I was absolutely sure that it was gonna be a scorcher. I even refused to buy some until I actually got on site. Walking through ankle, sometimes knee, deep mud with only low top Converse on when I arrived was not fun. Plus the only wellies I could find were a size too big for me, so I spent most of the festival trying not to lose them. By Sunday night I was miserable at Glasto for the first time (and I went to 97, 98 and 2005!).

I am off today to purchase the most expensive wellies and waterproof gear that money can buy. Either way I can't lose.

But I am completely certain that it will be good this year. We'll all be complaining of sunburn instead.

Surely, gaiters would be a good compromise wouldn't they? Or am I getting it all wrong?

Girlfriend has bought a pair of blue/yellow hunters working to exactly the same theory!

She's also bought a new pair of dunlops though so they might cancel it out...

[tinpottery]

I was only wearing trainers the whole time last year, but i don't regret it, everytime we/I bumped into anyone else with anything other than wellies on we would stop and chat about how manly we both were. Great way to meet new people.

[liverlou]

Does this mean that none of us should take suncream, sunglasses, shorts or sandals? Just in case?

[lianne and craig]

The list:

* SOD'S LAW, ALSO KNOWN AS MURPHY'S LAW. If anything can go wrong, it will.

* O'TOOLE'S COMMENTARY ON MURPHY'S LAW. Murphy was an optimist.

* THE FIRST COROLLARY TO SOD'S LAW. Anything that is to go wrong will do so at the worst possible moment.

* THE UNSPEAKABLE LAW. As soon as you mention something, if it's good, it goes away; if it's bad, it happens.

* NON-RECIPROCAL LAWS OF EXPECTATIONS. Negative expectations yield negative results. Positive expectations yield negative results.

* HOWE'S LAW. Every man has a scheme which will not work.

* ZYMURGY'S FIRST LAW OF EVOLVING SYSTEM DYNAMICS. Once you open a can of worms, the only way to re-can them is to use a larger can.

* SKINNER'S CONSTANT. The quantity which must be multiplied by, divided by, added to or subtracted from the answer you get to give the answer you should have got.

* LAW OF SELECTIVE GRAVITY. An object will fall so as to do the most damage.

* JENNING'S COROLLARY. The chance of the bread falling with the buttered side down is directly proportional to the cost of the carpet.

* BARTH'S DISTINCTION. There are two types of people: those who divide people into two types and those who do not.

* NINETY-NINETY RULE OF PROJECT SCHEDULES. The first 90% of the job takes 90% of the time, the last 10% takes the other 90%.

* FARBER'S RULE. Necessity is the mother of strange bedfellows.

Thing is with your theory is it would be sods law that you do all this for that reason. And sods law it makes no difference...

[HurrahBrother]

If I belived in saints, Mine would be Sod, Murphy, Anthony of Egypt (lost property) and Judus (the other Judus in the appostles, now patron of lost causes and mis-understandings!).

If you don't take wellies, you will need them! It is the Law.

To be honest, I pack for almost any eventuality, the only things I can't cope with is a snowstorm and a shower of Frogs! Being Glastonbury, I'm not entierly sure we won't get the frogs!
