How to wake up 3000 campers
Permalink  

Many years ago we went to Naroma at Christmas ,we camped at the Naroma camping grounds. One morning about 5 o clock " after all the drunks and parties settled down " I decided that it was time for a pay back biggrin, I yelled out DOLPHINS DOLPHINS,biggrinbiggrin. In an instance you could hear where where? Zips on tents opened ,doors on vans started banging and everybody looking down to the beach asking where they where. I think my tent was the only one that was shut.It think it took about 15 minutes for the camp to settle down.  Never had I so much fun in my live.biggrinbiggrinbiggrinbiggrin 

Cheers Hans biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

When I am in that situation of noisy parties going to wee hours I like to throw handfulls of birdseed onto the culprits van roof.

The noisy scratching, pecking & squawking of ALL the local birdlife at dawn is music to my ears....not so the party revellers.

Oooh! I love both of these ideas!!! biggrinbiggrinbiggrin

I just heard a story that a bloke got even after his neighbors big party by revving his Harley at 6am... I reckon thats downright anti-social as he would have woken the entire neighborhood, including the ones who had had to suffer through the long noisy party. evileye

The beauty of birdseed is you can throw it from a distance and no one needs to know you were the culprit. lol
