NFR NFC 2016 - The Friendly Thread for Lovely People

[pentura]

Fabulous! I know a couple of people playing in the one I'm going to as well

Lets compare notes on Monday! That's if I end up going, I may just sleep all day saturday!!! So tired still! 

 

Sounds good! I'm still quite tired from the festival, my body clock has yet to adjust properly as I've only had 1 day off afterwards and a few things on which have made it think it's still at Glastonbury! Soon I hope....soon

I'm hoping that after this week I will be ok, I probably just need a very early night! 

 

Going from being nocturnal to normal hours is really odd!

Any jobs going Matty? Returned to work after gf to an absolute shitstorm, immediate boss leaving, someone else who is, shall we say, "not that popular amongst the staff" being promoted over lots of others more deserving (including me!) so am on the lookout for a new job. Interview on Monday for a job that would be amazing so fingers crossed for that but if it all falls through can I have a job with you? Am a useless photographer and not many wild boar around Liverpool city centre but I am good at pub lunches :-)

I'm also good at pub lunches, if you need anyone else

Sorry, no jobs going...............................

Perhaps we need a new company called 'The Pub Lunch Group'

[muffled oars]

Isn't that called "being a journalist"?

I'm in!

Blossoms - 'Blow':

Given their stuff a listen on Deezer.  I approve

No time for pub lunches that lot - too busy hacking.

[fatyeti24]

i've just had a beer with my lunch, so that's a start.

 

and i'm listening to Jon Hopkins on th'iplayer.  he sounds like an mri scanner!

Make it happen

[A Guy Called Matt]

Make it happen

 

Done

 

I am afraid that at the moment it can only be a part time company.

 

The maximum available time is 5 days a year and the 'offices are in a farm in Pilton, Somerset.

 

I think towards the end of June would be a good time.

[Mr Splodge]

Hi everyone

Hate MRI's the amount I have had I should be used to them but laying on that bench puts me in agony radiologists hate me as scans need to be done in short bursts otherwise I move.

Just Fab sealed the canvas part of the roof on van, cracking headache now also in big trouble with the boss. Eek. Away at Larmer Tree next week and some wet stuff may happen so had to be done.

Tea and lunch, sit in garden for a while then cook a grovelling dinner, hopefully Deb will not be overly annoyed with me when she gets in.

Hope car will get fixed ok Jeffie and not to many £££

Hope everyone else tickety boo

After catching them at the Bimble and then full set in Avalon, just booked to see Ferocious Dog in Brighton in Nov, so I'm a happy bunny!  Trying to figure out whether I can stretch to doing Dub Pistols the night before as well

 

Other than that the sun is shining and I've got tomorrow off - Mrs Quark is taking me birthday shopping for new cycling gear.  Nothing like a Ferengi in lycra!

I saw both sets too and will be booking to see them in Southampton in November Hooray!

ooh i saw Ferocious Dog at Avalon on Sunday lunchtime (?).  dunno who they are, tbh, was just out for a wander and a pint.  sat down in the Avalon Inn, which wasn't that busy, so i could see into the tent.  put my feet up and drank some ale.

 

cracking start to the day.

It's a deal, do I get a company car?

[fatyeti24]

great fun after a pub lunch!

[A Guy Called Matt]

No you get a trolley off Ebay with dubious wheels

[A Guy Called Matt]

Good grief that was fun!!

 

We travel to Kenya most years (for business honest) and are used to their visa system. 

 

Well it has all changed and is now apply in advance online and like all things offical in Kenya does not work very well!!!!!!! I just gave them my passport and credit card details!!!

Easy way to tell Matty.

a ) have you won the Kenyan lottery?

b ) is a Kenyan prince trying to get money out of the country?

c ) is one of your "friends" currently stuck in Kenya and needing to get home?

 

If you answered yes to any of those then it's safe to assume this won't end well!

 I'd never heard of them before either.  Just happened to be wandering past on Sat evening on my way to watch Mavis Staples and heard this wonderful racket coming out of the Bimble.  Caught 5 minutes and then watched the full set on the Sunday at Avalon.  I'd say it's lt's like the heaviest stuff from Levellers, with a bit of Dropkick Murphys / Flogging Molly thrown in.  Ticks a lot of boxes!

I thought it was common for everyone to say yes to all of these.................

 

and to also have lots of relatives who have all just died and left me $52.2 million in their wills.

[carlosj]

There was a bloke who replied to these and wound up the scammers, even got them doing stuff for him.

in other news, it's sunny :-) waiting for child 3 at school, oh yeah, before seeing if child 1 has burned all my stuff after last night's meltdown. Joy, joy, joy.

Good description! I only know of them because Les "Fruitbat" Carter of Carter USM fame is now their guitarist, I'd heard a bit of their stuff before the fest but not properly researched them. They are excellent! I danced like a loon in the Bimble Inn, not so much loony like at Avalon because I accidentally hadnt been to bed Saturday night....

Feck it, was that Fruitbat?! I love CUSM but have never seen them or any pics, so had no idea what he looks like!
