The "Down with this sort of thing" picket. There is a burger van and you can wear your donkey jacket and fingerless gloves

[KatieMiddleton]

Fed up of the cuts? Fed up of the mislead bigotry? This is your sanctuary. Unwind. Vent. Pop over to the frothers thread if you feel like getting organised and doing some proactive stuff or just chill out with a cup of builders tea in a polystyrene cup.

Welcome.

I know not what of you speak, Knotty.

I feel the need to link a tiny but pithy and v funny vox pop from a New York lady that a friend sent me yonks ago on the dreaded fb. Let me go see now ...

I can't believe I have let this whole brazier thread unreel without screaming...

That's better

I'm setting up a luxury picket enclave. I don't eat burgers from vans, need plenty of rest & warmth and a reasonably additive-free diet. Fellow wimps may join me on a raft of down-filled, silken cushions in a heated tent, where kind people bring us grilled organic burgers with fresh salad and 95% pure chocolate. Fresh coffee, 'real' beer and vodka tonics are available alongside herbal teas & cocoa :)

Discussion of politics is not compulsory, but may be inevitable.

Look we've only been here a few hours and already there's a schism.

Brazier Lefties and Silken Cushion Lefties.

Don't worry MmeL. I fecked off home ages ago. I don't do camping. Not even for t'cause.

Hully I wondered when someone would crack. Mwahhahahahaha!

oooo vodka tonics

[easy]

How about we drag the brazier into the tent?

Nooo! Do not put the brazier in the tent. It will either set the polyester ablaze or it will smoulder and kill you all with carbon monoxide poisoning! Either way v v bad!

I don't want to come back in the morning and find you all dead. That would be most... disappointing.

Howzabout a cheery compromise: a tent with a wood burning stove.

Cosy.

Oooh, why don't we like Bono?

And you can keep vin chaud warm on the top of the stove.

And take-aways.

But only if in foil [wise]

That sounds good, Knotty.

Do we need to list the reasons for hating Bono? I think it may crash this thread.

Bono is a duplicitous, hypocritical, smarmy-arsed git.

If you are yurting with rugs, woodburner, kettle, hot water, mattresses and duvets I may come back.

Ooh, I will hate him too then.

Katie, for you we'll yurt.

Then you are welcome in our lefty yurt, CheerfulYank
