No fella. There's been a change of plans, looks like Shaggy-Sam is coming. So we're all going to set off from Fred's. I'll text you details.

 

[Curtis!]

Car semi packed, just ringing around stuff now, can't find my bloody V5 and need to get some ink for the printer to copy my documents though! >_<

Stickers still not finished

Any chance you could bring a bottle of solution with you Warren (I don't know if you have them just laying about)? Oxipol one is my usual but I wouldn't think it matters? I'll buy it off you if possible as getting to town to get some is looking slim atm!

 

[ForceIndia]

Don't keep that one in stock, but I can bring some that I normally use (it's decent stuff). I'll get a starter pack, will cost you nowt but a beer.

 

[Curtis!]

It's literally just incase I have a problem mate, I don't want an eye full of s**t and no way to clean them over night etc If you could that would be great! Muchos Appreciated.

 

[withoutabix]

So what people making of this bottle ban as reported on PH??

Thread title says there banned at all campsites but a lot of the posts say that it's just infield campsites so beasuajour would escape the ban? I'm not having the gendarms thieving my bottle of jäger at the entrance!

 

[markkram]

Was there not an update to the original PH thread saying it had been overturned. I think the mayor attempted to bring the rule in but changed his mind after some pressure from outside.

[Budgie]

I know i'm going to forget something important. We leave at 6am. I've got nothing packed, nothing organised and i'm working until 8pm. Then, i've got to go to a family gathering or some s**t. Packing until 3am FTL.

Sad times! At least you can kip in the car matey

Just transfered my beverages from glass into 2litre Sainsburys pikey range water bottles! Lol at if they check my car, 3 2L bottles of piss coloured alcohol!

 

[.GAZ.]

Hope you all have a great weekend =D

 

[la21t]

Hope you all have a great weekend =D

Ditto, some of the best weekends of my life have been spent at Camp Bleu....I'm going next year.

 

[Cliotoby]

I wish I was there in some respects, went last year, but again im glad im not going because the people going are a set of utter t***s when theyre together, and last year I nearly lost my mental stability. This year I would have gone, but there are more people going this year who I know that would just add to the annoyance.

Cars were great though. Im gunna miss that vette shitting all over the road before entering corners.

Im not surprised at the bottle ban thing if it was in place. The mountains took the piss.

We got stopped and searched before entering the port, we had a dodgy kitchen knife (was genuinely for food) but it looked like a shanking knife. And my mate had 100 crow bangers in the boot of his car, which hed forgotten about.

Found them in Le mans, and started blowing s**t up, a can of potatoes etc. Firing them into the air with a katapult etc.

 

[r900smp]

Just a few quick questions guys! First time driving off shore tommorow, what are the 'MUST HAVES'........?
I understand you need a vizzie per person but what else?

Cheers guys!
