how could i forget, i can also rustle up a clan of viking re-enactors, including little viking babies

they play viking horse traders Grin could totally help out

enriquetheringbearinglizard · 24/01/2014 15:43

Enrique, I'm still hoping no news is good news. I've managed to talk to a couple of local gossips people about what's been going on, so hopefully any bad mouthing will be counteracted.

I wouldn't even worry too much about bad-mouthing, like I said in the beginning there are always some who ignore months of generosity to moan about the freeloading or favours stopping, but people really can see through this, well, the people you'd want to be sociable with will.

meh if someone is a bolshy, know it all, bossy boots who expects to get her own way purely because she is special godammit people tend to know about it.

whether they say it openly or not they'll be pleased to see someone telling her to bog off with a clear boundary and not giving in.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 24/01/2014 15:56

Thanks numpty :) I'll get there.

Marvellous Shock

And the saxophones a-tootle
And the drums they do a-bang
And the banjo, ukes and fiddles
Chase away the horsey gang.

I have to de-lurk to say that I've nominated chris for the Nobel Peace Prize - also that I have several friends who are in CAMRA, and knowing them as I do, I'm sure they'd be prepared to set up and run a beer tent if you think that would help...? Hmm

(Mind you, on second thoughts, I'm not sure whether they could transport the amount of beer that might be needed...)

bad-mouthing ! And just how good do you think neighbourly relations are going to be after the first (of many) FuckYouFest?

GlaikitFizzog · 24/01/2014 16:20

I know someone in haulage that owes me a favour Sue! Lorry load should be enough for one day, then they can return the next with another!

NumptyNameChange · 24/01/2014 16:30

gin takes up less space than beer when you consider alcoholic content to volume.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 24/01/2014 16:42

Sue Grin that would certainly help

Ruby, I won't be popular, but at least I'll have earned that disdain!

Delurking to tell Chris she is a legend. Thanks

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 24/01/2014 17:11

Future Thanks I don't feel it. I feel exhausted.

I almost forgot! I can add a very welsh baptist minister for the religious area. he is very charismatic and will have uw repenting and begging to be baptised in a horse trough before you know it!

londonrach · 24/01/2014 17:18

Booked my place. Have nothing to bring....:-( Can make a cake. x

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 24/01/2014 17:27

Londonrach, cake is more than welcome :) you could always bring a packet of seeds too! I love the idea of everyone sprinkling different seeds and seeing what comes up where throughout the summer.

Swampy, we've got a nun, a group of Quakers and a baptist minister, UW doesn't stand a hope in hell Grin

JadziaSnax · 24/01/2014 17:45

I can bring DH's band (rock & pop covers - very loud), a 7 year old that will bore UW to tears about Minecraft, a vv cute 1 year old that steals your sandwich then toddles off giggling and I do a very good line in calm, assertive, reasonableness although I am no match for a Quaker granny

GurlwiththeAnyFuckerCurl · 24/01/2014 17:50

If you all need a break from the noise then my lovely DS (with ASD) could bore them away by telling them about all of the Tube stations, lines and changes in minute detail for hours and hours and hours.......zzzzzzzzzz

GurlwiththeAnyFuckerCurl · 24/01/2014 17:52

....and when they wake up, he could greet them with detailed plans of every shopping centre in the UK and lists of every major shop chain in each town.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 24/01/2014 18:31

Jadz, bring em all!

Gurl, he might just be out most powerful weapon :)

mistlethrush · 24/01/2014 19:02

Jadz - your ds and mine (8) will be able to have in depth discussions for hours on end about minecraft then....

Meerka · 24/01/2014 19:10

Nobel Peace Prize? nooo the Nobel Poetry Prize!

HemlockStarglimmer · 24/01/2014 19:11

Can we have a fenced off bit for the Minecraft crowd, perhaps in another county. My nine year old loves it and the walk to school is frequently made hideous enlivened with much talk of it.

Pixel · 24/01/2014 19:17

How about we all bring fruit and vegetable seeds as well as flowers? Then when you've finished lazing about in your meadow all afternoon you can pick something for dinner on your way back indoors. It'll be a giant flower-filled allotment!

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 24/01/2014 19:33

Pixel, that's a good idea, but I'm not great at this gardening malarky so keep it easy :)

Ds2 loves minecraft too, it will be done

Chris I've a feeling you may need a bigger field... Wink
