View Full Version : AR 07 What are you bringing ?
Following on from Vineys earlier thread about the event, I thought it might be an idea to see what people are bringing up with them. I will bring a frisbee and a bag of bbq charcoal, is anyone bringing any music, ipod with speakers for instance..?

Top Trumps are ideal for camping trips, compact and everyone can play ;)
Combine with alcohol and a fun time is guaranteed to be had by all....

Proper absinthe was banned in 1915, Night Nurse is just as good though (green too) ;-)
I've got Motorcycles and Racing Motorcycles Top Trumps circa 1978 with Barry Sheene, Mick Grant etc....

If anyone needs me to bring anything for them, get it to me (or meet me along the way - but what's the point in transferring it if you've got it that far?) & I shall endevour to overload my SV too :D

According to QI this week Absinthe was never banned in Britain as it wasn't that popular, so didn't cause that much harm. I believe modern Absinthe has slightly different ingredients.

Absinthe is only banned in certain countries (notably the USA) and there are still major manufacturers in Europe, predominantly in Eastern Europe (Czech Rep. mostly) and Spain. If you know what to look for and buy the right ones, then they are very similar to the originals and they do still contain the active ingredient Thujone, which is often cited as being chemically similar to THC (not sure myself though). The percentage Thujone content is normally regulated though.
The reason why they differ now from the 'originals' that are popular in bohemian fiction is that a) they drank far too much of it b) they often mixed it with all sorts of other things c) it wasn't the purest stuff about and had all sorts of other nasties in it, hence tales of various debaucheries.
The stuff you find behind bars in the UK are nearly always NOT proper absinthe, as they have no thujone but instead have an absurdly high alcohol content designed to get people ****ed when they drink shots of it. Good absinthe is rarely anything like the 70% stuff you see, its more like 40-50%. If you go to Tesco's, they stock a bottle called 'La Fee Absinthe' which is proper stuff. Not as refined as some more expensive continental stuff, but about the best you can find on the mass market here. Prepare it in the proper way (2 traditional methods) or in various cocktails and it *can* have interesting effects...bit variable on person, mood etc. etc.
Music... how we producing these sounds?

Well if we,ve got power to the tents we could use ipods with speakers or in my case a sony walkman phone with speakers I suppose..suggestions anyone ?

Can't remember the exact price, thinking about £18-£20 for 75cl, so not exactly cheap. Give me a shout if you want to know how to prepare it as traditionally as could be managed on a campsite :D. Or alternatively look up the 'parisian' or 'bohemian' methods on the net.
Can't guarantee results either, as it's more a leisurely, long, summery drink than a night-out sort of thing. But if it works properly then, from personal experience, what happens is that there is a kind of reverse drunkeness that sets in. While you might expect all the usual loss of control/crap motor skills associated with normal drinking, things (especially your thoughts) become more lucid. Keep drinking and you will end up ****ed though ;) I guess it is somewhat similar (though not nearly as pronounced for me at least) as the cod-philosophising after having indulged in certain....herbs.

Kind of thinking along the lines of easy booze fri night cos I want too enjoy the rideout on saturday and something for after the pub shuts etc.. just fancy something differenent to chill too
'La fee absinthe' sounds like a good thing to put down on the list of stuff to remember to pack.
Stewie, looks like we might have 2 bottles of it at least at the AR. ;)

Good point, almost forgot that. :oops:
You bring the tools :p You want to do funny things with the connectors. If it's just spade connectors like I put on there, just a wire cutter/stripper & a screwdriver is needed. Don't forget to pack some glue too Hovis, if you want your grips to stay on after fitting the hotgrips :p
:thumbsup:

Seeing as there's a few folks recently that have talked about wanting their throttle bodies sync'd (or carbs balanced etc), I might even bring my Carbtune along with me.
I'll happily do any pointies, as it's pish. Someone else can handle curvy carbs as I haven't got a clue.

Nowt.
Sorry folks, just had confirmation that I'm not going to be able to make it. It was always going to be 50:50 if I could make it, hence my not firmly commiting sooner. I absolutely have to DJ at a gig that weekend and I'll really be letting my best mate (who is the promoter/organiser) down if I don't, so I won't be able to attend. Gutting really- I was up riding in the lake district 2 weeks back and it was beautiful.
Last year I was in Switzerland. The year before that I made it, but was concussed from a head injury the previous week and now recall very little of it (even without the aid of alcohol). Roll on 2008! Hope you all have a blast and if any of you lot who live near me need to borrow my soft luggage you need only ask (quite hard to carry 12"s and a mixer in a tailpack- I've tried...)
