I went about 20 years ago, had a great time in the biggest beer tent on the planet with one of those oompah bands, the beer and the frauleins were both fine......you'll have a great time....

Was there about 10 years ago. The beer was great and the scale of everything was unimaginable. I believe I was in the Hacker-Schorr tent. The lasting memories were the Mass Krug that someone put in my backpack and having a French exchange student lecture me on the evil of Burger King

Never been to to the Oktoberfest, but I did once go to Gruhne Woche in Berlin, which is the worlds biggest international food and agriculture show. Every country exhibits there and basically you eat and drink your way around the world, eating and drinking local dishes from every country. When you buy a drink - you also get to keep the glass it came in...so after wiling away the hours drinking elephant beer in Denmark and sipping fine champagne in France - I had this massive carrier bag of glasses, that in my drunken state was more important to me than anything in the world. I guarded that bag with my life. Toward the end of the day I could hardly stand up - I was completely massacred...We then piled in a taxi to take us home. I get out the taxi, trip over my mate who was vomming on the ground and smashed every glass in my bag! FFS!! - I think I cried myself to sleep that night

Well this didn't kick off last time, but I'm going tomorrow. Watching Bayern v Hannover while I'm there from the away end, should be class.

So does this Oktoberfest involve alcohol of some kind?

The week after the beer fun is a major conference in Munich I often go to. So we often go a day early to get the last night in.

It's great and I absolutely love it. It's a world apart from going out on the sauce with your mates in town though. It's just full on drinking.

If anyone bumps into you/spills beer on you just smile and laugh. Everyone's there to have a good time but the second someone acts like a knob you can expect some 40yr old plumber from cologne to just walk up and lamp the idiot.

Get stuck into the food too to really take it in. Hope you like pork.

You're becoming worryingly obsessed with us.

Think its disgusting that he's making light of a very serious incident. We didn't find it funny at the time did we?
