all the people going to Oxford to get there tickets have me slightly worried. Everyone should wait untill after March the 5th so that mine is all nice and secured.
I think me and 'nicey' have come to some sort of deal to stop me whining like a stuck pig. I hope its improved since 2000(cue canned snoring from everyone)
I'm going to say this over and over until it happens. It's a bit annoying if you can't eat wheat - I just had to take lots of snacks and eat pineapple all weekend.
I was just camped on the other side of the field to everything else I think.
Was it only 4 people? I met; you, PeeVee, Rock-AND-RollMascara, QuiteCrown, Johnny Brizz-lizzle, Fellalady, NiceyNiceSquizzySuirell, and utm_perved on me but didn't say hell.
Oh, and of course, I met Thommo -who was totally ace.
what i mean is that i didnt meet monpot or shpig. and havent subsequently. and they are possibly the DiS users that make me LoL on teh most frequent basis. so that was a shame.
FELL OUT over it, for about an hour. Fucking tards, if the tickets sell out I don't get one, I will blame them personally. Why is it only me that has 15 local friends who want to attend, and who are terrified of all DiSsers they ever saw?
Rrrachel why dont you put a P in front of your name then you can get me to say your name, I can guarentee that it will have everyone in stitches...ask rapscallion
I think i would have found it easier to have learnt languages in a pub, specially welsh, all pubs could do it have one welsh sentence per night. That way once could come back and claim you have been to evening classes.
Two pints please barman (except you have to say it in welsh) ....oh thats just like a pub in wales isn't it
Some people are saying British Sea Power. Part of me is thinking Brakes.
Brakes have played last 2 years running. 2 of their members are Electric Soft Parade, who have an EP out on Truck Records and have also played the festival a few times.
Brakes also have a special song just for the Truck-Fest.
Last year in the Trailer Park tent, and year before in the tiny-tiny tent. Eamon was stood behind me in the queue for tea, talking to an attractive girl who came from somewhere on mainland Europe.
Last year, i really wanted Eamon's coat. It was an ace-o leather jacket, it was fitted and a bit modd-ish, and it had a patch on the shoulder. He looked cool.
tell your brother
you HAVE to be there. Yes, I'm going. 100%.
definitely planning on it
tickets are cheap right? like £40 or something...
£40 indeed
Ideally
if the YAY kids dont buy up all the tickets 2 mintutes before they go on sale- anyway Look At ME! I went in 2000 blah de blah
if i get tickets yup
is anyone
down south willing to get me two tickets seeing as they're on sale down there now and not up here in 'the regions'?
NO!
;-)
you're not down south
you're in welshville.
my 'NO!'
was more in relation to my other post down there. I wish people would stop panic-buying up all the tickets.
It's like the petrol crisis all over again.
Yes
all the people going to Oxford to get there tickets have me slightly worried. Everyone should wait untill after March the 5th so that mine is all nice and secured.
it is worrying
but I think that although the WHOLE of DiS are going, the rest of the world in general don't care very much. I hope.
wut
is BACS?
I may just do this
I'm all over this crazy Oxford shizzle.
LET'S DO BRUNCH.
Brunch would be lovely
Last year, Brainlove wanted to organise a DiS pic-nic. We should maybe attempt one this year.
If all goes to plan
I will be there. When do tickets go onsale to people who aren't bumpkins?
March the 1st
Good.
I should be able to get one then.
Never NEVER
I think me and 'nicey' have come to some sort of deal to stop me whining like a stuck pig. I hope its improved since 2000(cue canned snoring from everyone)
deal eh?
can I be in on the deal? does it involve clandestine meetings in dark alleys? If not can it be altered so it does?
I hope they sell jacket potatoes
I'm going to say this over and over until it happens. It's a bit annoying if you can't eat wheat - I just had to take lots of snacks and eat pineapple all weekend.
Apparently
There'll be more food this year. Fingers crossed for a hog-roast.
When is this 'Truck'
you speak of?
The last but one
weekend in July.
I think.
yep
22/23 July.
I see...interesting...
*strokes beard*
i've been going since 2001
and its certainly got better in pretty mcuh every way.
i will
be there, all being well
maybe. someone pretend that they want me to come and make me feel loved.
ps- last year was ace.
I would LOVE you to come
so long as you speak to me, not just spy on me.
i'm going to be there
anyone got tent space for me?
i will bring
tequila and cheap continental lager.
thanks h_f, that's a kind offer.
i may invest in my own tent from argos before the time if i'm feeling flush.
you're going to
simultaneously hang and suffocate yourself because you don't have a tent?
don't do it wishpig!
I'll
be there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i don't have a tent
we should get tickets and all stay together, and sew WUT and JAG on our tent...
thats agreed then...
last year there wasnt enough DiS meetery
i camped with -Raz- tho, so that was exciting. he didnt like me.
but shoulda camped wit hmore DiSers.
Well I had "Wut?" on my tent
I was just camped on the other side of the field to everything else I think.
Was it only 4 people? I met; you, PeeVee, Rock-AND-RollMascara, QuiteCrown, Johnny Brizz-lizzle, Fellalady, NiceyNiceSquizzySuirell, and utm_perved on me but didn't say hell.
Oh, and of course, I met Thommo -who was totally ace.
me to, me to!
sori!
SHAZAM! BOOOOOOOOOOM!
I might make a 'SHAZAM!' tshirt for Truck actually.
when i say i didnt meet enough people
what i mean is that i didnt meet monpot or shpig. and havent subsequently. and they are possibly the DiS users that make me LoL on teh most frequent basis. so that was a shame.
Awwwwwww
How kind of you :-)
slash changing room
wut is truck like?
where is it?
and is it suitable for children/families?
wut sort ov bandz wil pla ther?
sadly
not me...
Last Year
I trucked. I met some people of DiS, but not a LOT of people of DiS, just some.
I would like to meet more, so I may go this year.
It's some of my local friends who are doing this bloody panic buying. I said DON'T DO IT IT'S WRONG, but would they listen? No.
Friends
Just like the sitcom, awful people.
Oh, I also met colly_kunoichi at Truck, but I didn't say much to her, as she was getting in the way of my burger-eating.
I also met a talking tent.
memories.
though burger eating is wrong obvs.
WITH A BRICK
I'm going
you bet your bottom I'm going
I think I might just push the boat out and attend
Seeing as how it's the best festival and all.
I'm going to buy lots of
tickets and flog them on ebay
I'm goingto hunt you down
and smash you!
SHAZAM!
with your extra loud clap?
we
FELL OUT over it, for about an hour. Fucking tards, if the tickets sell out I don't get one, I will blame them personally. Why is it only me that has 15 local friends who want to attend, and who are terrified of all DiSsers they ever saw?
i met you last year
for about five seconds. you were like "hi. i used to post on DiS. rachel with three 'r's"
which i found silly, cos your name is clearly "Rachel with a rolled r"
go on then
try pronouncing it with a rolled R! it is for the welsh only that pronunciation, bet only monpot could make a decent go of it!
oh i've got truck excitement now. why is it still february?
I could say it
too!
I'M GOING
YES i AM. True story.
I will be sharing someone's tent. At the moment, this is Rocknrollmassacre. I don't think he quite knows what he's let himself in for...
Hurrah for Bamos!
I've got room in my tent, but it's all for me. I'm a no-tent-sharing bastard.
See, I would
stay in a tent on my own but I don't know how to put them up. Anyone want to volunteer to put mine up, in return for some free cider and/or food?
dig a hole
Yes
But i don't know how to put them up either. I will struggle manfully with you though
Poor Bamos, needs help with his erection.
I'll give you a hand, don't worry.
ro
fl
bamos
can only stay if he brings shortbread
by official decree
fuck off
you cunt
Bamos
I'll help you put up your tent, I have a Girl Guide Advanced Camping Badge. FACT.
i hope so.
maybe, possibly, depends. growl.
I am going!
And it's the day after my 21st yay yay yay yay yay yay!
Have to get some tickets first, though...
if thommo and i get tickets
we are going too!
YAY!
"Oh, and of course, I met Thommo -who was totally ace.
monpot | 02 Feb '06, 19:52"

with thommo. he is a very brilliant person
i recovered
from bad hangover
with thommo. he tried to buy me salad, but i said no i'll buy it because that's mean.

I'm going if Hannah buys me a ticket on Saturday
Well if she doesn't, just get one in March

Bendigeveg
Monpot
Close, but no cigar
'Bendigedig'
But 'diolch' none the less.
i lerned that in the pub bach
I think i would have found it easier to have learnt languages in a pub, specially welsh, all pubs could do it have one welsh sentence per night. That way once could come back and claim you have been to evening classes.
Two pints please barman (except you have to say it in welsh) ....oh thats just like a pub in wales isn't it

I might
come to Truck. I'm good at putting up tents, I think I've got one but I wanna get a new one with a living room and stuff this year.
at this year's green man
me and PW turned up and emptied the tent bag only to find the tent poles were still in Cardiff. Her dad had to drive all the way up there with them.
he was well happy.
Hee hee
that sounds like something I would do!
I want to green man
as well!
does anyone know how much it is?
this year
I don't know but it's not at baskerville hall this time.
in 2004 it cost £35 for both days. last year it was £60 + about £20 for camping etc.
this year they're hoping to get 5,000 people. I reckon it'll be anything up to £80 though they may keep it at £60.
apparently will oldham's fee last year was massive.
I'm tempted by
Green Man too!
I'm hoping to go this year too.
yes!
let's all go to green man!!
Yep!
Lets do it
Green Man and Truck!
if they find
a suitable new venue and smooth out the problems they had last year it should be Zonino!
I'll go if
YOU do.
I want to go too
I just wanted to cry the whole weekend last year at all the joy I was missing.
i know
the line-up was SO good last year
I thought it was
BRILLIANT. didn't you accidental? I bet anyone who missed it must HATE themselves so much they don't want to LIVE.
i missed it
that's why i hate myself. :*(
Well lets not
miss it this year!
oh sorry
I thought up there ^^^^ where you said 'I wAnt to green man' you said 'I wEnt to green man'.
no i just can't write
properly
I will almost
certainly go.
rumour is Silver Jews are headlining.
yarghh
I will kill to go to this. When is it?
erm...
august. weekend before aug bank holiday I think.
Bugger I hope its the one before that
otherwise I'm out - as I'm best man on August 19th!
*checks e-mails*
augsut 18th - 20th, campsite open 17th.
venue still unconfirmed.
I can't go!
Gutted :o(
piss
Not Me
:=(
come.
cant be too difficult to do a weekend in the british countryside can it?
Any guesses on who's headlining?
Some people are saying British Sea Power. Part of me is thinking Brakes.
Brakes have played last 2 years running. 2 of their members are Electric Soft Parade, who have an EP out on Truck Records and have also played the festival a few times.
Brakes also have a special song just for the Truck-Fest.
I'd be happy with Brakes.
The Rock of Travolta ?
Didn't they split up?
shhh
okay
i've said it before
and i'll say it again.
if bearsuit play, i'm going to cream myself.
i
will come if i can get a ticket.
come as in....
they're not that rare are they...
im
going then. provided it doesnt clash with anything important
and
i just looked at the dates and it may do.
LOL
TROT headlined the first year i went.
i sawe bsp play a few 2003. dont think brakes have played twice.
anyway, i've heard pretty reliable rumours of who's headlining. and theyre bigger than bsp. by far.
bigger than BSP?!?!
is that possible?!
And Brakes have played three times, the last three i believe
radiohead?
Is it
The Ordinary Boys?
Fingers crossed, Preston is LUSH!
..
sexiest mod since paul weller. msn says so.
Lies
I raise you:
Bobby Grindrod
They have played twice!
Last year in the Trailer Park tent, and year before in the tiny-tiny tent. Eamon was stood behind me in the queue for tea, talking to an attractive girl who came from somewhere on mainland Europe.
Last year, i really wanted Eamon's coat. It was an ace-o leather jacket, it was fitted and a bit modd-ish, and it had a patch on the shoulder. He looked cool.
either = YAYAYAYAY
trucktrucktruck! woooooo *flails*
Or BOTH
Then we might get to see Eeamon banging his drum and just generally being The Official Fleet Reserve again.
Yeh he has
But they're still liek, friends and stuff. So if Brakes and BSP were there then Eamon might get back to banging his drum.
BSP would be great cos mrs
knees is really into them and that would provide a big incentive for me to help her overcome her DIS reticense
Where've you been
Miss Vacant?!
i have been
in edinburgh, without a computer :( i miss the internet!
I choked on my Guinness last night
-my friend's going off to South America to look after bears or something. She'll be Two and A Half hours away from an internect connection.
Sounds like Hell to me.
two
and a half HOURS. !
these ones don't have any sound either :'( i really need a laptop.
!!!
what happens if myspace is down when she gets there?
myspace doesn't go down
now that i use it. true fact
It's true.
Nothing goes down on Rapscalion, NOTHING.
:-D
