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.

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!!!

|
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.

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 !!!

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...

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!

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?

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

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)

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?

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?

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.

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.

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