BRITTENS 05 NEW DETAILS

[Haddas]

Well then I'll have to pay for them myself then! ...how close to the nearest shop?

[Privateer Puddin']

couple minutes walk for a small shop (Spar?) but some (CJ, m0ds) will have their cars

[Pumaman]

You can only use the food budget for fags if I can use it to buy my exfoliating facial conditioner cream.

[AGA]

Is that code for Foster's?

[Ashen]

Wait - Foster's isn't covered by the food budget? What the hell are we paying for?

EDIT: And, on a related note: How much are we paying, and when? (I need to know how much cash I'll need first day.)

[Privateer Puddin']

Food?

Table service from the lovely campsite owners.

[Renal Shutdown]

Live 8 was THIS weekend..  it seems that I can't actually go.

Aw..
I'm definitely going to miss you, as I'm sure everyone else is.

If I ever meet Bob Geldof,  I'll shun him.  Viciously.

I think m0ds said everyone chip in £10 for food, although this may change:

The price per person is £5 per night to camp

we'll organise food money there, but the smart thing to do would be for everyone to chip in then m0ds or cj can drive down get food, etc...

So Ashen, you'll need cash for each night to be paid up front first, and I believe there is a £5 or £10 deposit for this key thing they give you, plus at least £10 for the food.

So if your staying at the campsite friday - friday you'll need £35, plus say an extra £20 for deposit and food. Next you'll need money for trains, planes and automobiles

EDIT - Don't fret, once paying this large amount you'll only need to spend money on yourself such as trips out, souvenirs etc. And another quick note, don't forget towels, they have showers on site

Also remember taxi drivers are lying cheating bastards around airports. So ask how much it will cost before getting in there *looks at jetxl*, and a london black cab cannot turn down taking you, it's illegal I think. If they say no insist they take you.

Just letting everyone know i will have my laptop at brittens, it's not very good but we'll give it a go..

so if you have any game etc you would like to show, please bring it on a CD or PM me with a download and i'll take it to brittens

AHOY PEOPLE!

Greetings from a Gloucester Street cyber cafe!Ã,  I travelled for 21 hours, endued countless lines, a horrible airplane seat and an 8 foot tall bronze statue of George H.W. Bush.Ã,  I am battered, bruised and jetlagged, but alive!Ã,  Alas, my hotel room isn't ready so I got time to kill.Ã,  Thought I'd add a bit to this thread before heading out to the british boonies tomorrow.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow.Ã,  And looking forward to hanging out with Iqu, Creed and Layabout tonight.

[m0ds]

Yay! Glad to hear you made it here okay Dave, have you managed to sleep at all in that time? LOL - you must be shattered. We will see you tomorrow!

Just to confirm, Miez - I will be at Luton airport to pick you up between 9 and 9.30am (depending on traffic :p) - and we should get to Laleham for 10.30-11am (depending on traffic), so anyone who needs a lift from Staines to Laleham can ring my mobile after 11ish. O79OO 331134. CJ said he'll help out too but I'm not sure how you can contact him!

[Adamski]

I'll be giving you a buzz between 1:30 and 2:08 then Mark!

[Ashen]

As will I, if that's OK. I should be reaching Staines Station 2:08 (assuming the coach & train run to time).

DS:
Where are you travelling from? If it's London Victoria, do you want to meet up?

Okidoki, fine ... I'll be there, mass transport facilities permitting.

[Adamski]

Ashen - I'll be getting in to London Kings Cross at about 12:30, and my connecting train is at Vauxhall and not London Victoria. I'll be in Staines at either 1:38 or 2:08 depending on what the underground is like, although I guess it'd be sensible for me to hang around until you get in so m0ds can give us both a cheeky lift

Edit: There's a possibility we'll cross paths though, and I shouldn't be hard to spot - the long haired tail guy carrying loads of camping stuff!

[jetxl]

I see you guys tomorrow at 5-6 o'clockisch.

I will also look like a long haired guy carrying camping stuff. Yet not as long as mr. S. Or as long as last year for that matter. But still long and rebelious compared to the 50's.

[magintz]

jetcl, are you bringing those jiggly breasts ^^^

Joking... So almost Brittens time. I should arrive between 1 and 2 as well. I checked the weather forecast and it appears we might be setting our tents up in the rain. (I'll need a hand from some people as my tent is big).

Lets hope the weather clears up for the weekend.

I'm off to go pack

Well, that's not what the BBC wants us to think: http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml?world=0008

Good weather all round...

[magintz]

Let's hope thats more accurate than my sources. Although BBC said it would rain in the afternoon in London. But it rained in the morning and not since... slightly wrong.

Just a quick question I'm hoping Matt can answer for me...

Will I be able to get access to Internet from anywhere in Staines (internet Cafe, McDonalds etc...). My exam results come out on Monday and I want to see what i got.
