Ignore previous! it will just be me!
Axl

Can you cook?
Princess Fiona

No!!
Axl

Bugger!
Changing the subject, can anyone (who is coming to bandcamp, in case there are other pedants out there) get hold of some cyalume (spelling?) light sticks? Preferably the green ones as the others are rubbish.
Princess Fiona

Tom i think will be the man who can, will ask at band tomorrow.
ZedHorn

if we've got 'lecci can we not bring plug in lights???  

if so i have a fabulous set of fairy lights that are perfect... Grom knows the ones I mean!!!

hopefully be there sometime sunday.. save me some beer and frivolities!
greenfairy

Light sticks??? You do realise I'd be obliged to do really bad Star Wars styleee lightsaber action with them
Axl

Plug in lights are good (especially your fairy ones), but cyalumes are garunteed to not burn the tents down while we're at the pub, not burn our hands on the way to the toilets, and are provided (hopefully) by junglies free of charge.
As for the lecci, if it plugs in, feel free to bring it.

Hello All
In the essense of clearing up things,
Yes Zed, Im a muppet
Grom, busy at work but not completely dead through it yet, in fact, I do believe i was Roadie for the Heron Gig lol
Axl - Did I say 3 days?  Ooooppps, must have slept since then
Hatrack, clearly not been a patient of mine, I have FAR better drugs than that and......

I may well be able to land my hands on some Cyalumes of various colours during the week to bring down.

Let the Party begin !!!

Think that was all???

Gingernuts do?
bassdrumal

Fan of the Shortbread myself in payment for Cyalume Technology

Or

Home made biscuits, cakes, something savoury
bassdrumal

Or Beer

Or Wine

Or anything alcoholic (Mouthwash not accepted)
ZedHorn

how about povidone iodine tincture 1%bv???
bassdrumal

Its a tough one Zed, but I will settle for some home made chutney from you!  Maybe even some ginger preserve for my toast!  Mental note to self, pack toaster!  

Actually on a serious note (yes, occasionally i get em) -
How many people are going?
Should we pool our resources or is it every band member for themselves
I could go and get my funky outside cooking thing from Plymouth on the way through?
ZedHorn

Hey... pi** off telling everyone about my chutney and mum's ginger stuff... these are precious homemade comodities!!!

but please bring the toaster and I'll bring marmite rations for everyone...  
Axl

There are a dozen of us, with room for one more tent yet if anyone knows anyone who wants to come. i've had a couple of maybes, but none have confirmed.
I thought that the easiest thing to do would be to do a communal pot for camping fees and to buy tea, coffee, milk, bread, snorkers and aquapig for breakfast etc. As for ale etc, bring a crate (or whatever your tipple is) and we'll take it from there. Mac is bringing a gas stove, but the funky outside cooking thingy sounds a bit better.
Between Mac and I, we're also bringing a heater, a mozzie killing machine, a large outside groudsheet, a picnic table (with 4 seats), 3 clickie chairs, a windbreak/privacy screen and a huge pirate flag. If I've left something off the list, feel free to bring it yourselves!
Axl

There is one more thing...
I can't make friday come any quicker than it's going to by itself.
I'm good, but I'm not that good!
greenfairy

Pft, and you call yourself an organiser Axl  

Are we nearly there yet???
ZedHorn

Axl wrote:

kitchen sink, can spanner and winning lotto numbers???  
Axl

Kitchen sink is provided.
Can spanner, every good ME or junglie carries one with him at all times.
Winning numbers are in my pocket, just not sure which week they're going to win.
Next?

Best I bring a small amount of Medical Supplies

Brufen and Paracetamol = Hangovers

Erm...... thats probably about it !!

Oh and maybe some plasters for those getting squiffy and falling over

Especially as I have just had a look on the website and noticed a potential Assault Course Challenge!!!

Dear God, dont let me grow up!
greenfairy

*worships Al the Drug Man*

I love you!
Axl

The Eurovision song contest is on saturday at 8pm. Can we make sure we're nowhere near a TV on saturday from 8pm onwards please?
bassdrumal

Agreed Axl
In fact any person making any reference to it should be tied to a tree and left without any alcohol for at least one hour

best throw in a few PPIs and maybe some enteric coated NSAIDs for those of a sensitive disposition... consider loperamide for those talking sh*t    
greenfairy

Could we not just have our own version of Eurovision with total campness and dodgy singing?

PPI - Proton Pump Inhibitor = Inhibit gastric acid secretion by blocking the hydrogen-potassium adeosine triphosphatase system (The Proton Pump) within the Gastric Parietel Cell..............In English it reduces the amount of stomach acid, which is comon after a night on the beer (upset tum tum)

Enteric Coated = Sugar Coated - used so they achieve First Pass Metabolism ie drugs not being absorbed in the stomach, but waiting till they get to the duodenum

NSAIDs - Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs - These rare predominantly used for musculoskeletal pain, but also have a naughty use for hangovers (though bad for you as they are a Non Selective Cyclo Oxygenase Inhibitor as opposed to a Selective one)

Got that all?

OK EVEN Simpler - Hangover cures !

Was that ok an explaianation Miss Zed - Cant call you Dr, you get upset
greenfairy

Not forgetting loperamide being an anti-diarrhoea thingy (I've just spent a day and a half sorting through boxes of the damn things at work replacing the out-of-date ones in out Cat C 1st aid kits)

Nice thinking!
Princess Fiona

I'm bringing a kettle for all to use.  Axl please can you PM me your mobile number just in case I get lost driving the 7 miles form my house!!!
Anne Picc

Rumour has it that due to presence of families with young kids on the camp site, the first complaint about noise coming from our intrepid campers was in by 8pm on Friday night!  

Looking forward to the dits guys  
Big Ted

Twas earlier than that, in fact Al started a log, but as only a first nighter I cant spill the beans..................but when I left at 1600hrs on Saturday we were up to 35!!!



Big Ted

Watch out for dits and pics in due course!!!!
Princess Fiona

I have survived band camp, Hoorah!!

It was a roaring success and a good time was had by all.  No complaints about noise although we were told off about other things like driving too fast around the camp site ( Al! )

This Band Camp will be known as bubble fest I'm sure.

Bring on band camp 09  

p.s Shepton Mallet is in fact 22.5 miles away!!!!!
Axl

I'm home.
Crikey, what a weekend. Bring on the next one!

Some of the things I got told off for;
1) pitching my tent exactly where I was told.
2) not bringing musical instruments, especially bagpipes.
3) driving the wrong way round the one-way system. Understandable if the road was a loop, but it wasn't. It was just a road.
4) the wrong kind of electricity.
5) smoking outside.
There were more, but those were the best.

Who's head boy next time?
greenfairy

Finally back after rubbish train journey. There were lots of floods around for some reason....can't think why!

Thanks to everyone for making bandcamp so fun and bubbliciously fabulous - love you all! xx
bassdrumal

Now what else happened??

Very interesting round of "I have Never" which then turned into "I have"
Yes, I got told off for speeding......twice, but for goodness sake, its a BMW - 5 miles per hour?  What does that mean
I fell over - sober - yes sober - in a bloody large muddy puddle
I then made a grand entrance into my own tent doing a darned good impression of bambi on ice. As i laid licking my wounds on the floor of the tent, the only compassion from our resident Dr was......"I think you have broken my umbrella"

Charming

Who is up for Longleat Sept/Oct08?
Princess Fiona

If you're thinking of the monkey enclosure I think you'll fit right in xx

Was the falling over today, damn I knew I'd miss something

Apricot

Again, again, again, again *bounces*

Chrissie B

Bubblicious, bananalicious and er... cream-filled balloonicious! Woohoo, what a great time. Got the Band Camp Blues now! We missed you Big Ted! And thanks Deli for your extraordinary karaoke performance!
greenfairy

Which reminds me - I have the aforementioned kareoke performance on video on my phone.....now I just need to figure out how to get it on YouTube
Apricot

Thanks to all you Band-campers for a most excellent Bubblefest!

 
The Donkey

Band camp rocks !!!!!
Axl

Lost And Found.  
Well, found actually.
I have in my posession an air pump, brought back from bandcamp. It's the one we used to make the uber-bubbles. Does anyone want to claim it? Chrissie and SoppyGit were the only ones I know who brought one. I'll bring it to the festival to reunite it with the rightful owner.
admin

You mean you have just unpacked your car?
Axl

Sort of. I've just got back up to Barrow and dropped off all of Mac's stuff, and it was there with his kit.
Gromit

I've got someones mobile phone charger - one that plugs in to the car.
Chrissie B

Not sure about the bubble-making machine - I'll check with Soppygit whether he retrieved his one! But I think the mobile phone charger might be mine.

Oh, and I have a small chopping board that belongs to someone else...
Axl

I've still got some very happy memories, and I'm not getting rid of any of them.
greenfairy

I've got a stinking cold and am happy to give it up if someone wants to take it off my hands......anyone? No? Damn.

Could have phrased that better Al.

The mind boggles
bassdrumal

Hmmmmmm  
On reflection, maybe i could have worded that better after all !

Chrissie - I put yours in your back pocket when we were playing vollie ball. I now remember Al passing it to me when he got out of Wookey.
Chrissie B

Ah yes, it's coming back into focus now! Oh, and I think the bubble-making machine is the Donkeyman's.
Apricot

if I hadn't been there anyway I think I'd have well and truely lost the plot by now    (but bandcamp is a happy place so things like that don't matter!)  
ZedHorn

bandcamp lives on.... in the shape of my buggered up knee.... I think I've rogered it good and proper... hopefully it'll be mended enough to limp round the marching at the festival...

If not I am going to do it anyway filled with large amounts of painkillers and a tot or two of the holy water!!

I will not be beaten!!  and it was worth it.... that breakfast was yummy!  
Gromit

Zed - how did you spag your knee?  
Big Ted

Axl.  
Yes, the air pump is mine. I wondered where it had gone! If you can bring it on the 28th that'd be marvelous.
Thanks.

Oh, and get a room by the way.
