Endorset Festival 2007 - August 10th-12th (with ADDED POLL OPTION!)

[han]

Ah - glad the hedge has gaps in. This is good.

Will make sure we get there early...

 

[Idaho]

I'm already planning my unscheduled day off for friday...

Trouble is I will need a late start monday so a weekend of illness won't work if I come in suntanned. Maybe I just slap on factor 50 - I should look suitably grim.

 

[William of Walworth]

Pessismists reckon it won't be sunny, forecasting six weeks ahead on the basis of weather up to now ....

 

[Spion]

if I come in suntanned.

You've seen the same weather forecast as me! (IE, the optimistic one in my head )

 

[William of Walworth]

That's my type too!!

(ie the optimistic one in my head )

Link??

It's sunny today and tomorrow and just three days ago they were warning of another deluge. I don't think it's possible to forecast more than 5 days ahead on this island.

People pay good money for that type of thing

It's dark and cold in there, and smells of old people

Only those completely obsessed with the weather predict more than 48 hours in advance anyway. Glad to hear you coming round to a slightly less anal way of thinking mate

 

[Spion]

Only when I think of you

Wasn't me who was assuming earlier it'd be rainy!

My 'weather obsession', is based on the fact that I'll be going to five full camping festivals on the trot from late July right through August, and they're SO much better when they're dry. I still enjoy them, loads -- I had a ball even in about the worst mudbath on Glastonbury's history, but some sun would be nice and rain does make a difference ...

Also, I cycle a lot and have been getting wet a lot recently ... we all need a change!

You're right about the 48 hour thing though .. although some claim you can forecast fairly accurately to up to a week ...

 

[*Miss Daisy*]

Oooo I am so excited! Loads of urbs going!

Shall i bring me windbreaker??? I've always wanted to be one of the organized at a festie...

 

[William of Walworth]

Bring everything!

 

[Idaho]

Shall i bring me windbreaker???

Yeah bring him along. Him and Spion will have something in common straight away

 

[*Miss Daisy*]

Yeah bring him along. Him and Spion will have something in common straight away

Oo i hope your this funny in RL!

I wanna be smiling non-stop til my head pops styleeee

 

[onemonkey]

Just confirmed that I'm definitely definitely definitely coming to this. Either working or for a stag do

a stag do

but nevertheless YAY, YAY, & YAY again

 

[William of Walworth]

I've just noticed that 'stag do' bit from cc ... do explain!!

 

[Tort]

Well of course they do! I predict that a week from now it will be hot & sunny

….. in Death Valley!

I also predict that the weather in the UK will be totally unpredictable as usual so fuck knows why anybody even bothers trying! Anyone who spends as much time under canvas as you & I do will realise that over the course of a British summer we will have some sun & we will have some rain. It’s all good & there’s fuck all we can do about it. So just bring the travel scrabble, a good book & plenty of drugs and stop whittering on about the weather because in all probability whatever the forecast says when you leave home will have no bearing whatsoever on reality by the end of the weekend. After surviving the gales, rain, hail & frost of 2 Knockengorrochs isn’t it about time you realised you’re not actually soluble after all?!

 

[Stig]

Yay! go Tort

 

[Idaho]

No I'm not.

Maybe if you take lots and lots of drugs. Or watch me try and put up the shelter...

 

[Voley]

gales, rain, hail & frost of 2 Knockengorrochs

Frost! Fuck me, that's a new one!

Excellent spirit, chaps - festivals aren't festivals unless you've lost a couple of toes to frostbite.

Yer forcing me to like rain?

That'll never happen ....

Actually I've been discussing this very thing elsewhere in relation to Glasto, and mud lovers and mud haters all agree that you CAN (and we do!!) have a great time at festivals almost irrespective of the weather.

But after Glasto (more relevant) and Knockengorroch (which was far from wall to wall bad anyway, this year) it's only human to think, we deserve a bit of hot and sunny now.

Plenty of time for that faint possibility to emerge anyway

I have made no forecast though and will only link to them very shortly before.

 

[MsShirlLaverne]

I think I may have a suitable number which somebody kindly donated

I'm still looking for the shoes


..........and thanks for paying for the hotel room

 

[rich!]

I shall bring my nook.

There's a nice cranny on our estate - we'll see if we can get it on the train...

 

[rich!]

Nah, if I turned up at a festival and saw a sign saying 'this place reserved for ... etc' I'd think it sucked.

Even if it was a portaloo and the Manics?

 

[Stig]

Frost! Fuck me, that's a new one!

"I'm going for a walk and may be some time"

Last spring there really was real proper frost all over the outside of the tent in the mornings.

and I walked into a mud lake so deep I filled me boots.

Proper festival, that.

Anyway, next person to mention weather on this thread gets their tent taken down, moved to a fairly local layby and filled with random woodland mammals while they're asleep.

 

[Yossarian]

Is this all sold out then? Looks like I´m going to be in the country that weekend...

 

[Dubversion]

do it do it do it!!!!!!!!!
