Sometimes we’re really too good to you.
DiS has a pair of tickets to give away to the splendid La Route Du Rock festival, held in Saint Malo, France.
The competition winner will be given free access to the festival – held August 14-16 – and have their ferry travel covered. You will be expected to provide your own tent, though – it’s a camp-overnight event. There are various stages to choose from, including a castle stage, a beach stage and a casino stage.
The bill includes a number of high-rating DiS favourites, such as: Foals, Fuck Buttons, Tindersticks, The War On Drugs, Nina Nastasia, Micah P Hinson, Bowerbirds, Phosphorescent, Menomena, The Breeders, Why?, The Notwist, Pivot, Sigur Ros, The Dodos and… um… The Ting Tings.
Find out everything you could ever need to find out at the festival’s official website, here.
To be in with a chance of winning a pair of tickets (you must be aged 18 or over and have a valid UK passport, and be available to travel to Saint Malo on August 14 and return on August 17), simply answer this question:
If you removed all the cheese and wine from France, would the country simply float away into the sky?
A) Of course not, you fool!
B) It might – there’s a lot of wine and cheese!
C) Y’know, I think it will, as cheese can be pretty heavy.
Post your answer in the comments section below – a winner will be picked at random on Tuesday August 12 and contacted via a DiS note; their details will then be passed to festival organisers. Good luck!

Share on FacebookA) Of course not, you fool!
Science and stuff proves it
I will plump for A)
as although there is undoubtedly a lot of both those items in France the country is quite firmly joined to Spain by some pretty big mountains, so I think on balance it would probably be ok...
A) I think
This was really good fun when i went a couple of years ago.
C)
I win!
.
C) Y’know, I think it will, as cheese can be pretty heavy.
a
although i have a suspicion b may be true
C (I hope)
and if you pick me I shall continue to insult French people as a brilliant ambassador for our lovely country.
A)
Of course not, you fool!
B) It might – there’s a lot of wine and cheese!
obviously !
i'm also gonna go for C
they have cheese which according my froggy step dad "shlang de morte" - it smelled so bad, i had to leave the building.
of course
The correct and proper answer in this situation is A
Definitely B)
If it hasnt been tried yet, who is to say?
Also, I am interpreting the term "float away" through cultural lenses.
definetly C
But it must be proven for the comp to be valid so it going to take a big operation
A
Why not, it's as good an answer as any.
C)
cheese is heavy on the soul, and on france i guess
??
A) Of course not, you fool!
OOOooo
A) Of course not, you fool!
I USED A CALCULATOR
C)
It would be like Laputa.
UK passport?
You racist bastards.
a
as much as france seems dependant on cheese and wine, although the market may float away, the country won't, being as it's attached to Germany, Italy and Spain. They should hold it pretty firmly in place
A)
Have you seen the shape of Gerard Depardieu recently?
A
ta!
A
:)
Im pretty sure
the answer would be A!
Tres bien!!
I'm gonna go with A) Of course not, you fool!
This would be nice.
the answer is
A). Of course not, you fool!
but I'd be willing to have a goa t removing all teh cheese and wine in France by consuming as much of it as possible when you send me to La Route Du Rock! Merci!
B
Depends if it includes all the cheese & wine currently being digested in the stomachs of those french people.
A) Of course not, you fool!
The left of Garlic and Onions will be sufficient to keep the country bouyant.
However all the bycicles could weigh it down along with the extroverted arrogant ego's and the influx of stripey sweaters may cause the rest of Europe to mistake France for a giant Zebra crossing between the continent and Great Britain.....
Wait a minute they all think that already.
The answer is
A) You idiot!
B) it might afterrall zee fwench doo like zer scheese
arzo ai canot be sure
i'd say B
if that answer's good enough for lyle it's good enough for me.
B) It might – there’s a lot of wine and cheese!
Obviously...
B) It might – there’s a lot of wine and cheese!
in my opinion
A)
I have spent a lot of time consuming both in France - and it shows no sign of shifting yet!
A
Surely it has to be?
Hmmmm...
My head says a),
My heart thinks b),
My bloated, cheese-filled stomach cries c).
cheese and wine
i'll go for a)
im going to go with A
if you were to take away all the bread in france, then maybe it'd float away.
but not the wine and cheese.
B)
B) It might – there’s a lot of wine and cheese!
Course not you fool
you would think it would but truly not. i'm going with A, COURSE NOT YOU FOOL
A) Of course not, you fool!
Do I win?
so which
bastard won this then?
La Route Du Rock
A)Of Course not You Fools!
La Route Du Rock 2009
A. As in awesome!
i'm going for...
a gallic C
anyone silly doesn't deserve to get to see deerhunter + grizzly...
its..
a)...
actually no its
C) Y’know, I think it will, as cheese can be pretty heavy. (as the singer from Keane will defend after his reported addiction to port + cheese)
woo!
PICK ME, PICK ME, PICK ME
answer is
B) It might – there’s a lot of wine and cheese!
mmmm wine
A) Of course not, you fool!
B) It might – there’s a lot of wine and cheese!
Being of an uncertain disposition, yet somewhat swayed by the concept as ultimately plausible, I will plump for the middle ground. Selflessly, I will be happy to take the cheese and wine of France's hands if they wish to test the theory.
A) Of course not, you fool!
B) It might – there’s a lot of wine and cheese!
B) It might – there’s a lot of wine and cheese!
I've seen it all and everything.
