Sorry to hear, we'll miss you (and your lovely accent) but your health comes first.

Got that covered. Don't know so much about the cold beer, but Bluefish will have a supply of ice for the malt whisky 

Aargh!!! wash your mouth out this instant, at most just a dash of chilled water or you might as well drink Supermarket's own brand blended Whisky.

It's made with water, doesn't need any more added to it.

Tent mk 2 has turned up

Even with the poles out the bag its heavy

[Postmodern Smoking]

Looks like it's "rated" as an 8 person tent (by the label).... does that mean that you need to buy 4 dual camping tickets??!

With that attitude, I will pitch next to you

Its not as big as you all think. There is only 7ft of headroom in the middle of the 14ft wide space

I know two ladies who almost camped on a grass embankment last year...............................without a tent !

They could have camped in my bedroom. Only 20 minutes walk and en-suite 18650 charging.

Well jealous of Lee's tent now! If the weather is filthy we can all pitch our little 2 man tents inside his... hahaha

Or like Russian dolls?

1 man tent inside a 2 man tent.
2 man tent inside a 4 man tent.
4 man tent inside Lee's tent.
Lee's tent inside a whacking great marquee.
Marquee inside the O2 arena.

Neat.

Two Weeks to go

Not that anyone is counting

[Pepperty]

good job you said, I honestly thought it was the next weekend and was primed ..... case is packed!
I must tell my family that its the following weekend
*edit* which is actually better for me as I've got an elderly relative due home from respite and I was worried he'd be discharged as I went away, least now he can settle in and I can get his shopping in and make sure he's got all the basics

My two week countdown started yesterday, Friday night is usually quite messy

The most important figure for me is the eight shifts left at work before the Thursday off to relax/pack/charge things. Thirteen shifts stood between me and VF after a lovely fortnight off and I've taken five of them out. I've got this!

I'm in interview mode at present

I'm hoping that if I get offered a position, the start date is after vapefest

Gear is stacked in the garage ready to go in the car boot

Shopping list of bits is ready, mainly grub and bbq bits

Location is stored in my satnav

Ticket is in the car already, so I don't forget it (4 printed, one for each quarter of the tent )
