NFR NFC 2017 - The friendly thread for lovely people


Quark

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I am thinking that the Oxfam - Stand as one Glastonbury 2016 vinyl thats being released as part of record store day next week is a thing of beauty (ok maybe not, but the vinyls are green and red ) - anyway we have just one record store taking part in record store day and they will have one copy of the aforementioned album - I am hoping that one copy on the island will be mine (time will tell) ... can everyone keep everything crossed please

Its a Glastonbury week next week - Thursday coach resales (helping people), Saturday record store day, Sunday resale day and trying for friends and anyone else in nfr - blimey everything crossed for a nerve wracking week, better take it easy this weekend to prepare

Can't comment on apples, but that's perfectly normal for strawberries. I've done fragolino (strawberry vodka), and all the colour leached out of them within a few days. Looked like a load of tiny brains pickled in red liquid! Tastes nice, though :)

@Skoo I've no experience with alcohol infusions but when you are infusing in a culinary sense then the fruits will break down, ég strawberries will loose their colour and structure but would mean that it's working and the flavour is infact infusing into the liquid... you could always taste (taste not drink haha) to see if it's working, definitely strain through a muslin/cheesecloth at the end. 

 

Thanks both of you for your reassurances, I feel better now. I'm gonna give them all a bit of a stir and a try tonight, can't wait to see how they're getting on!

Happy birthday @thurlow84 and happy (almost) Easter all! I'll be going off 'grid' for a the weekend, I usually don't check the forum at weekends anyhows. I got the tent out last evening, still up in the garden. Discovered two things:

1) The tent poles are not in the best shape

2) The tent door zip is broken

This means that after 5 Glastonburys, countless camping trips that it's time to retire the Vango Beta after this weekends camping. I spent last night attempting to decide on what tent to get for the festival but I feel like a tent megalomaniac and seem to only want big tents. Not ideal for the festival but handy if I ever decide to camp for a long period of time! I'm off to find the tent thread wherever that might be!

 I've just had a very odd thought. For some reason the notion of experiencing physical pain entered my mind. Then I questioned myself as to what was the worst (for worst, see most exquisite) pain that I have experienced in my life thus far. Well, I'll tell you what it was. It was when I was about 5 years old and on one morning I pulled on a pair of jeans shorts without putting any underwear on. Later in the day I went to the toilet, opened my flies, pissed, and then pulled the jip back up. In doing so I managed to catch my foreskin a treat. Up it went inside and outside of the jip. Now they say that soldiers after just being shot cry for their mothers. Well, let me tell you - little 5 year old boys do it too.

So there I am fucking squealing like a banshee, and my mom bursts in to the bathroom. Either I told her what the problem was or she immediately saw what it was. The next thing I know is that she's got a hold of my little laddy and is somehow easing it out of the jip structure, until it is fully separated from the pain thing machine.

Now, I'm no expert in these matters, but surely it's got to be right wrong if the first member of the opposite sex to gently massage your pecker is your mom while you are aged 5 (if you are a boy).

Is it any wonder that I like to get my pecker out and put it up the end of a vacuum cleaner which is in the switched on position, while shouting out the Hallelujah Chorus?  I mean, I ask you?

Thurlow, Frosty....everyone's coming out of hibernation!

Today's all about the garden for me. Wonderfully we have absolutely no plans and no other people to deal with. Might even stretch to a cider later :P

And just to remind ourselves why we're here...

morning all! Hello frosty! How are you? I'm feeling much better than I probably should, given my cider etc consumption yesterday! 

Can I have some of that? I've been enjoying not getting hangovers after having to give up smoking, but seem to have run out of luck today

I'm finally good and pretty much go again which is just brilliant. Ready to dance my ass off at festies once more! How're you? Are we all ready to partay?

Hi Frosty, nice to have you back! 

Im a broken woman. I'm doing too much running around and drinking! So last nights Manchester show was just brilliant. My friend was so happy. So today so far I've got up ridiculously early, drove Sue home to gainsborough, drove myself home to Durham and met the parents for lunch. I'm now on my way to Glasgow. I really just want my own bed. 

@naughtygeorgie it is a small world within the Glastonbury family! Last year I randomly bumped into @H.M.V and @mr gumby on separate occasions, as well as real life friends of mine on the railway line. Who would've thought it in amongst all those people! I Hope we get him a ticket.

I agree LucyLoo, I'm seriously considering taking out my contact lenses and wearing face furniture. I'm so dehydrated my eyeballs have dried out :blink:

I've  just had a thought. I didn't see one seagull in Benidorm? I've never considered why before... going to google it

Edited... I've checked it and Google said I must've been pissed as there's loads of seagulls in benidorm. Cheers Google!

Hope everyone's had a good bank holiday :friends:
