I've sorted that bit for you :cool:

A mug would be useful. We should be able to make tea and coffee etc, but your own mug would help a lot ( and if you like our own srtange tea bring a bag of it, we'll only have the basics)

[the_lone_wolf]

I've sorted that bit for you :cool:

My bike already has a touratech big foot thingamajig on it, ready for any adventure into deepest darkest Essex:cool::

Ah yes, a tea making kit is essential equipment, I'll stick a mug in

good point after the shinanigans of scotland........................ but if someone atamps to move your bike with a disc lock on, and they dont know theres a possibility of them dropping it....... more so if they have been on the fally down pop.

my alarm will be on, if my alarm goes off at 3 in the morning and wakes people up, so be it

[Girth]

[Paul the 6th]

[ManxMatt34]

I'm living in the isle of man no alarms here :( so i'm was relying on Pawwwwllll's £20 plastic piece of crap (not a proven fact as of yet) disc lock would do the job to deter owell we'll see ahaha i already dropped my bike, not much else you yobs can do to it on grass i didnt do by dropping it into the neighbours van and on my drive.

[Spiderman]

I dont think he lends his personal stash out. However, if you wanna stay and play i'm sure he'd oblige ;)

Had forgotten them until I ended up kitting Jambo out from my spare kit shelf last night.

[hovis]

The only things I would add to that list is spare keys:D

thats a good one. my alarm thingy got damp, and the bike would not start due to imoberlser in devon, liz sorted it with a hair dryer, but must bring spare keys, and alarm fob

cheers

[Paul the 6th]

I'll update the list in OP when I get to a computer :)

[dizzyblonde]

The only things I would add to that list is earplugs. :D


cause ^^^^^he snores loud, failing that a sharp pointy stick;)

[Paul the 6th]

Me or SK? You cheeky mare! :razz:

[dizzyblonde]

nope BlueFlame;)

Sorry MrBlueflame, your snoring is one of those org legends:eye:

[Blue Flame]

Sorry MrBlueflame, your snoring is one of those org legends:eye:

Which is why I suggested the earplugs for his list. I won't have any as I don't hear myself snore.... :D

[Liam9188]

Disc Lock???? Just in case the bike mysteriously moves during the night....


A thief would need massive balls to try to steal a bike when theres a good 100 bikers there. They ain't gonna get very far....

[RichT]

Who said anything about a theif?

[Kuze]

A thief would need massive balls to try to steal a bike when theres a good 100 bikers there. They ain't gonna get very far....

I think he'd be reduced to a pile of broken bones, bruises and with ophics dog chewing his **** for even thinking it.

Can i get a spot away from Blueflame if the snoring is legendary? I need some sleep :P

[Spiderman]

I mentioned to Messie about having a Snorers Corner of the field as i remember a couple of years ago thinking their was a wild animal lurking round the campsite somewhere snorting and grunting and just waiting to pounce. Until someone pointed out the noise was comming from inside a tent :shock:

So all you snorers please ask for your VIP section when you arrive.

Also, i have a major sense of humour failure if anyone starts messing with my bike, drunk or sober. So if you wanna mess with someones bike please dont let it be mine. You may find the pyromaniac side of me comes out and your tent melts around you as you sleep while your bike quietly smoulders in the fire pit.

I'm sure i'm not the only person who doesnt like people messing with their bike and reading about a recent event where bikes were moved and all the kefuffle that came from that i really hope all this talk of moving bikes is just tongue in cheek sillyness and everyone is sensible enough to not really do this.

God i hate having to sound like a grown up and having just read the above, i do. :(

[Paul the 6th]

Along similar lines of spiderman: I'll break yer f*cking legs if you touch my bike :) thanks yew :) xx

[Sally]

It's different when it's you're mates that are doing it.
I didn't mind that mine got moved, we always take the **** of each other.
I seem to be on the recieving end more than most ;)

[Spiderman]

Nah, its not even funny when its your mates that do it imo. There are things you mess with and there are things you dont mess with. My bike is one of those things i dont like anyone messing with.

God i sound like a right grumpy git now.

[Paul the 6th]

lol I'm not that fussed, just if anyone tries moving mine with the disclok on it and drops it.... there will be much screaming

[Blue Flame]

So all you snorers please ask for your VIP section when you arrive.



Ahh so there is gonna be a snorer's section :rolleyes: That's news to me.

[Spiderman]

Well thats the idea...hiw many peeps are gonna admit to being snorers tho is another question i guess.
:lol:

[Messie]

Ahh so there is gonna be a snorer's section :rolleyes: That's news to me.


Lol and me! Bucket of cold water is my preferred solution

[Spiderman]

So you gonna stay up all night and douse the snorers you mean Messie? Nice one ;)

[Blue Flame]

Much more fun not being a snorers section. You can all play the snorer's equivalent of russian roullete when selecting your spot for tent erection. :p

[Messie]

Well it's that or be one of them, which after a few drinks is entirely possible!

[Viney]

Manners
Courtesy
An open mind
A large present for the organisers
A canoe
Wellies
Umbrella
Another jacket incase your bike jacket gets soaked!

[Cazza]

I mentioned to Messie about having a Snorers Corner of the field

May I also suggest Farters' Corner and People Who Wake Up At 6am And Get Up And Start Rustling Around Instead Of Doing The Sensible Thing And Going Back To Sleep Corner? ;)


A canoe
Wellies
Umbrella
Another jacket incase your bike jacket gets soaked!

Viney, please don't confuse us with the list of things you need for your forthcoming weekend in Wales.

SUNGLASSES! And suntan lotion. That's what we'll be needing at the AR.

For the pale and dotty people, it's very important.

[Liam9188]

Im very much in favour of a 'people who drank too much and are struggling to keep it down' corner. This field better have plenty of corners...

[chris8886]

God i sound like a right grumpy git now.

that's because you are! ;):p

[Spiderman]

I think that so far we need a duodecahexagon shape. :lol:

[Kuze]

We need an enclosure for Bear, SK and afew others too!

We also need a stall or a petting zoo type area for Davepreston so we all can have the pleasure of poking his knee! :smt064

[Bluefish]

well i for one don't want to poke dp. :D

I bought myself a self inflating mat at Millets because I'm a double 'ard b****** who likes sleeping on the floor;)
