La Tomatina

Us Brits have a terrible trait of looking down at the antics of Europeans as eccentric/pagan/feral/something degrading - but, when it comes right down to it, they know how to embrace the kind of freeing chaos we know nothing about.

Take La Tomatina for example. What's the gig? A huge food fight with tomatoes. Get in. Let's have some of that.

What do we do on a Saturday afternoon? Herd our children into depressing soft-play halls of noise and rudeness. Skulk about soullessly eating chicken nuggets and drinking bad coffee, all the while being as thoughtless and ignorant as is imaginable. I hate all of you. Yes, you lot know who you are.

That said, my daughter and her friends enjoyed her birthday party, thanks all for coming! You lot were ok, you know who I'm talking about, yeah, that lot, the others.

Yeah, La Tomatina is too good for them, bring on the food fight!
