Nearly put me off my cup of tea, that did.
You must take your tea black then because our milk just curdled.

I don't think it would've been any better if hte man had been dead, though.
I'm kind of surprised Amazon has that kind of picture on its general site.
Edited to say - did you see my reply about cufflinks? It rather got overshadowed by the dead-plucked-chicken-in-black-net link....much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -
Lucky you!
Absolutely....
4th year running, it's a good lark.
We score a fair bit of stuff like that, had VIP to Rockness the last couple of years and usually get a team hospitality invite to the British GP (but couldn't make it this year).
I've yet to blag good tickets to Glastonbury or Monaco though... I now see it as a challenge, and absolutely determined to get some shortly.
Can get general admission passes all day long but that's nowhere near posh enough these days after being spoiled at the lesser events.;)“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie – deliberate, contrived, and dishonest – but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and unrealistic.

Volunteering leave?? Sounds like a cushy number; never heard of that before....Lucky you! I definitely move in the wrong circles.
Still, I get a free ticket, some of my days off as volunteering leave, a few free meals, and the satisfaction of putting up my own tent (assuming I can remember how and it is still in one piece)
I've always said "Just because something's free doesn't mean you can afford it" - and looking at the ferry cost this is one of those instances.
Free meals are always good ... though rare.
I'd not want to attempt to put up my own tent, although as you're stewarding there'll be people there prepared to help you, unlike a public site where they'd sit and watch the free entertainment.0 -
You do silver clay stuff too, don't you PN?

So the 'if it is raining' plan for the party was going to be decorate paper party bags (with stick on jewels amongst other things) but I am no thinking I could do some print and iron on then colour in this fabric paint things but should I do white t-shirts or white tote bags?
Thoughts? (apart from shouldn't you be in bed sleeping by now?)I think....0 -
I'd do bags, no worrying about different sizes of T-shirts.
Shouldn't you also be snoring peacefully?...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.0 -

No.

Unless you have friends in low places, and manage to secure VIP hospitality passes, so you don't have to glamp at all but can return to a nearby comfortable hotel each night.
Which we have for T in the Park next weekend.
We 'glamped' at glastonbury. Showers and flushing toilets and everything. It cost about £200 extra but we didn't have to buy a tent. I would pay the extra to avoid roughing it every time.
It was a bit like being in the Maldives though as just when you think you're being all posh you notice that everyone else there is a scouser. you don't seem to be able to price out the scousers anywhere you go!0
