Glastonbury 2007 pt1: the build-up

[Looby]

I just bought a coach ticket. I am supposed to be working but I was getting the fear about missing all the stuff I wanted to see and magic sam was looking to start a book on how many shifts I managed so I figured I'd rather try for a ticket this morning and give someone else a chance than get shitfaced, miss a shift and let people down. Only thing is I will not have free/cheap beer and hot showers.

I'm going to take my van down, so if anyone wants a crate of beer or ought, let me know.

 

[Pus D]

There are coach tickets available from Hull it would seem.....

 

[madamv]

Yey! Citydreams....

I am so excited that my best girli is not working now... Yahoo Sparklefish. Btw, where does your coach go from?

Oh, and you'll not have to put the tents up on your own now. Sod the showers, stay smelly like the rest of us

Good point.

And I know Asda/Walmart= evil bastards but if you are willing to overlook this I bought 60 cans of lager for £20.

They have stella, fosters, carling. They also have strongbow and john smiths.

Hmmm. I'm in a drinking quandry. What to drink this year???

So I have just bought a bottle of Noilly Pratt. I feel a few martinis coming on

 

[aqua]

I've been wondering what to take drink wise this year too, I might not bother and just live off cider and pear cider every year i'm left with vodka I didn't drink

not sure though, might take some just in case

going on a brolly mission next week, and i still need a hat *wishes she didn't have a big head*

 

[madamv]

I didnt like the hat I got off ebay in the end Aqua. It doesnt look right with my new hairdo. Now that I have decided on my glastonbury colours

I shall definately take my martini mix - noilly, gin and vodka. Sparklefish has tequila too. I shall also take some fruit juice and archers and all together that makes for a great many cocktail combos

What about your BEER QUALITY PRINCIPLES you counter revolutionary backslider??

Beereologically Unsound or WHAT!

 

[Dubversion]

Stella sounds fine to me. Nice n cool, no fucking twigs

 

[William of Walworth]

I'm still online at the Kingston Ams!

Hmmm. I'm in a drinking quandry. What to drink this year???

There are NO quandaries when you drink proper, quality BEER!!

(or Cider)

<sups last pint of Crouch Vale Brewers Gold to celebrate the excellence of Cambridge at Strawberry Fair time -- pubs absolutely full, day after, of festoid alternative types >

But also

 

[Dubversion]

they ran out of stella at the Strawberry Fayre. I had to have one of the real ales. It was vile.

 

[William of Walworth]

You should have questioned its freshness level and made a real ale based fuss ...

 

[Dubversion]

i suspect it tasted exactly as it was supposed to. That's the sad thing

 

[moose]

Rum, obv.
You don't want anything grain-based after all those fruity ciders.

 

[William of Walworth]

Can you remember which of the ales it was???

 

[Dubversion]

second one down on the list

 

[William of Walworth]

second one down on the list

Bishops Farewell. Didn't try that one

You'd have liked White Dwarf (second off the bottom) I think, very light and lager-like, with plenty of taste

 

[Sunray]

You need to have a more refined palette, its an acquired taste.

Of course, if all you want is oblivion then wife beater is your man.

I drank real ale for years, and knew my stuff. Then i went right off it.

I don't drink Stella if there's a superior lager available, but I'd always drink Stella ahead of real ale, and it has fuck all to do with oblivion, thanks

 

[madamv]

It all tastes like old 2 pence pieces to me

 

[William of Walworth]

Oh, that's a shame ... some sorts of proper ales/beers (and actual proper lagers) can be so much nicer ... seriously

But each to their own and stuff. At least you're not one of those bizarre teetotallers

 

[William of Walworth]

Ale and that ...

It all tastes like old 2 pence pieces to me

2 pound coins, if you please!
