Playing on Sunday worries me though.  If I take my meat dress down on the Wednesday and we have the weather we all know we're due then come Sunday it might be a bit iffy.

Should have a bit of space around me to dance though.

That made me laugh!! 

Right NFRers... Emma and I need advice. With the fallow year in 2018 we need another festival similar to Glastonbury. Prefer 4-5days and not as far down south. Emma is well into chart music and I like the typical fest bands. I need to book my leave for next year soon so we need to decide. Suggestions please ;)

I missed everyone too, due to breaking a bastard rib on the Wednesday! 

We tend to meet on the Thursday at around 4pm, we'll decide once we have a line up :) We might need a more specific location, so people who havent met others before know where we are. If you see what I mean. Maybe we need an inflatable dolphin on a stick, or something? No idea why I said dolphin. Maybe cos it's pissing down out there. 

Gumby! MEAD! I'll do pineapple gin I think. Or maybe strawberry gin. Hmmm. 

I too think a flag or a big inflatable thingy would be ideal!

I've never made any fun alcohol stuff for Glasto before. The intention has always been there but I fall at the last hurdle - the bit where I have to make some sort of effort in order to produce said alcohol.

What's the easiest one? Like the sound of strawberry gin, although think I'd keep it vodka based.

SGP is a lovely festival, I have been twice, in 2012 and 2013. It was lovely :)

You could do strawberry vodka? Just bung in some chopped fresh strawberries to a bottle of vodka (with a bit taken out of it to allow space for fruit) and leave it for a few days, giving it a shake every now and then. Then strain it and drink! YUM!

I'm fairly sure that, as the time draws near and excitement builds, we can work out who's bringing what and have a positive cornucopia of booze to sample.  And then we hit the hip hop karaoke en masse and bring the house down :yahoo:

Is there a grunge karaoke? I think that's more my field of expertise!!

I might even buy some synthetic strawberry flavouring to add along with the fresh stuff. I love me a synthetically flavoured treat. Synthetic banana ice lollies are my absolute fave.

That rules out @Scruffylovemonster then :P

Last year's was Thu afternoon by Croissant Neuf I believe.  I rocked up a bit late and missed everyone :(

Same again?  The location, not the me missing it part.

And I rocked up early, stayed for the meeting time, wandered around the large table (after watching Frankie Thurlow) and legged it as I realised I didn;t know who I was looking for anyway lol

Yes mate!!!! Deffo! Once we've met at Glastonbury, we'll know who to look for at BT!! I know loads of people that go, it's only 20 mins drive from where I live. Everyone says it is brilliant!

The first year we all met up, we had NFR NFC t shirts. That's how we found each other! I'm happy to bring something large and inflatable though. 

 

Stop it. You're all filthy.

That's basically what fragolino is (with a bit of sugar added, too). The proper Italian version uses really strong alcohol, something like Everclear, which is then diluted by adding sugar syrup, but you can just use strong vodka instead. Yummy!
