Endorse it in Dorset Festival 2008 (with ADDED POLL!)

[wiskey]

Goodness me - what a film to miss! Never mind.

She melts btw............

I've picked up what the general story is but never seen the film.

I've never seen gone with the wind or the sound of music either.

Or any star wars.

(tbf i did try and watch the SoM one xmas only to find it wasnt on)

 

[wiskey]

cept that's not the actual pictue, cos it's on the end of the bed. too early to get up, except to receive tents.

Metcheck's improved a bit, if you look at it optimistically. (Link)

Saturday morning and Sunday look sunny

But likely to be packing up in the rain on Monday

 

[Biddlybee]

God I feel shite today, and I'm panicing a bit!

About what? Anything I can do?

Metcheck is back showing over 1.5 cm of rain for Saturday, and a similar amount for Monday, which is a lot

 

[El Jefe]

Bollocks

Always been so sunny in the past

 

[Crispy]

Past performance is no garuntee of future returns

 

[beesonthewhatnow]

I think it will be sunny and warm (16-18 degrees), we're just going to get huge downpours every so often.

That's what I keep telling my girlfriend

if we all get big funnels and some long hosing, we can hold the funnels over us when it rains, and have hosing attached to the bottom of each and have it leading across the floor off site, so all the rain water gets syphoned away from the festival ground.

the job - as they say - is a good 'un

you know they already have that invention?

it's called "roofs" and "guttering".

[dodgepot]

blimey, you know how to take the wind out of someone's sails, don't you?

 

[zora]

You sound as if you speak from bitter experience...maybe not all is lost.

Fingers crossed.

Whatever the facking weather I'll be having a good time. It can't possibly be worse than the Glasto mudfests of 2006/7 and I enjoyed myself there (well. most of the time).

Wellies: check
Waterproof jacket: check
Brolly: check

Sorted!

[beesonthewhatnow]

oh do give over

To be fair, it took me all of 5 minutes.

1 - Stare at pile of tshirts
2 - Chuck a few in bag
3 - Repeat for trousers
4 - Repeat for jumpers
5 - Add coat

All the cooking stuff lives in a big plastic tub, so no need to worry about that.

Job done
