Innit, just been checking the weather myself. Still got chickenpox scars and would rather be able to rock a hoodie if I can manage it!

 

[Kuso]

I'm actually starting to get excited.

So pleased the Mr is coming, and that RaverDrew will make it.

some other mates flying into southampton from scotland get in around the same time, but they're bringing hardly anything with them and wanna go shopping for it all- tents, sleeping bags, even clothes n trainers ffs before we head to the fest

Good grief.

When they abandon it all at the end of the festival can I have it?

Are you getting the train to winchester or getting the coach? If they're working that logic they may as well just buy it all on site.

That's not the sort of thing I need to worry about

I've just remembered I was going to make my fortune this festival selling kids safety scissors!

A collection of the security haul Sat afternoon last year (doesn't inc the stuff from the gates/eviction tent). In the tesco bag are weed/grinders and the bin bag on the floor is nos cannisters. And endless pairs of scissors!

Later I saw all the actual drugs but I thought it cheeky to take a pic.

Of all the things there, two things of note, I have that very pair of scissors in my van.
I also would like to know why anyone would pack a pair of gold nunchucks to a festival?

The knives I have are far more impressive and sharp too.

 

[Callie]

I have baked cakes. I have not packed. I am going to bed oops.

 

[ddraig]

[Thimble Queen]

G'night! See you in boooooomtown!

I've got a mixture of excitement, uppers, and the end of a one week prescription that causes insomnia.

Might just wait and kip when I'm there.

Three nights in a bed this week, the joys of not working a festival and therefore not having to show up on Tuesday!

Anyway, once more unto the breach...

 

[ruffneck23]

Not allowed throw away BBQs - they have to be on legs, presumably better legs than those wire ones that always fall off.

You can get bucket ones on very short legs for about a fiver in Tesco.

Well they were a fiver the other week, might be more like £15 from Argos and Tesco may have stopped doing them.

May want to get summat like this: https://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3451319.htm
