If any of you are interested it's the Glastonbury gig (I was there
) and they were one of the highlights.
So grab the acid and turn the lights down low.

Now that's an interesting point UB, I actually thought it was "dull as dishwater"! Perhaps some clarification is called for on this matter!

Orbital clarification: I saw them at Glastonbury once. Took loads of Mexican mushrooms and....
they were *really* boring - and the PA was *really* quiet.

Boring, tedious, as in that was dull as dishwater. The original simile, dull as ditchwater, dating from the 1700s, alluded to the muddy water in roadside ditches. In the first half of the 1900s, perhaps through mispronunciation, it became dishwater, that is, the dingy, grayish water in which dirty dishes had soaked.
Well ain't that an interesting point!
