To paraphrase Crisis Correspondent Spartacus Mills from The Day Today:

If you’ve got a psychology book at home, take it out, throw it in the bin — it’s worthless. Psychology books, now, will have to be rewritten.

If you don’t want to throw them away then at the very least find the section on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs and rip it out, replacing it with my own, much better, Oktoberfest Hierarchy of Needs:

Maslow’s theory sought to understand human motivation based on needs.  Well I’ve got news for you all: everything you could ever want is at Oktoberfest.

If you’re on a diet though, you might want to stay away. 

I’m really not looking forward to this week’s weigh-in.  It was worth it though; the stag do was fantastic.

A few highlights: 

• Groom’s youngest brother — in charge of the kitty — at the bar (ordering for 19 of us): “Twenty-six beers, please.  Actually… better make it fifty-two.”
• Argument with groom’s other brother concerning Guns ‘N’ Roses.  He argued they were better than Bob Dylan and The Beatles.  I vehemently maintain they’re not.
• Being described by security as “the rowdiest table at Oktoberfest.”  This shouldn’t be anything to boast about, but when the festival welcomes 450,000 (mainly German) visitors a day, it’s hard not to feel a little bit proud.
