Beautiful Days Festival 2010

[rich!]

That's what we told you it was. we really dress up as a pair of lonely goatherds in the privacy of our tent at nights.

That's not quite true, thankfully.

I dress up as a pair of lonely goatherds to lure Stig away from her tankard

 

[Ground Elder]

Time keeping, meeting arrangements, festivals, me. It is unlikely that all four will cooperate. If I see you, I see you. If I don't, I don't. For anyone that cares I will be at the bottom of the family camping field with baby and toddler area.

 

[Biddlybee]

Somewhere near the kiddies library bit?

 

[Badgers]

New Model Army on the headphones this morning

 

[Badgers]

Wait wait wait......!!!!!!

Is is only 8 sleeps? I have not even started my list or anything!!

 

[Stig]

List? What list?

I ordered an inflatable mattress yesterday, as the campervan has made me too soft for the cold hard ground. I feel almost ashamed. *stuffs duvet into rucksack*

Are they playing?

I feel almost ashamed.

It's called getting old

 

[Badgers]

Are they playing?

Oh YES they ARE playing

Hobo Jones on the main stage?

And what's Dirty Dave's Bandstand?

And what's Dirty Dave's Bandstand?

Hobo's opening the festival on the main stage, quite a good idea I reckon. Dirty Davey's is a new area to replace the Pussy Parlure. Apparently it has outdoor seating, a real ale bar and a bandstand. I am reserving judgement.

They weigh a ton but they are (*adopts Monty Python accent) LUXURY!

Fantastic idea I hope they play in the bimble inn too though

Don't be ridiculous! I'm barely out of my first flush of youth. I'm just a pampered camper these days, is all.

 

[Teaboy]

At Endorse-it last weekend for the first time ever I started looking longingly at the campervan field. I'm 32, at what age is it acceptable to finally give in?

I was at around my 37th birthday, (ok 2nd flush of youth ) but it's perfectly acceptable to have them from 17 yrs old, if it's a live in vehicle rather than a camper.

 

[Biddlybee]

if it's a live in vehicle rather than a camper.

...and the difference is?

 

[Teaboy]

Mattress in a transit?

 

[Stig]

...and the difference is?

what you call it.

 

[Stig]

Mattress in a transit?

that's neither a camper nor a live-in-vehicle. that's a weekend crash van.

 

[Stig]

Maybe the difference is whether you could feasibly live in it on a permanent basis. Proper stove, wood burner, rugs, bookshelf. Or whether it's one where you have to unfold everything and fold it back up every morning and night, no way you'd live in that for more than a week without exploding in irritation.

Which reminds me - when are we fitting the second bookcase in Rambo? I was having trouble packing enough reading for a festival!
