ha, that is heroic. Mind you, 4 hours sleep the two nights before, up at 8 to remove a passenger door from the S50 and load the van, load a car trailer and then set off home at 1pm, got to the Pod after driving all afternoon at about 7.30pm, nothing to eat since breakfast (9 ish in the morning) and 9 beers was only gonna see me fall asleep at some point, I'm surprised I made it longer than most to be honest. I thought I would be snoring by midnight

You'd be amazed at how comfortable I was there though! Best nights sleep I had in ages...was even better when I woke up and had a few hours in the tent too (even with out an air bed!) :lol:

Best bit was no hangover either the next morning. Bacon sarnie in me by 9.30 and I felt awesome

Tue Jul 12, 2011 12:44 pm

Who was that watching the grandprix on the big screen wearing e30zone tshirts?

Tue Jul 12, 2011 5:56 pm

In the camping area????
That would have been Beardy matt and mates.

Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:01 pm

Taking the piss and being able to smile when it's taken is what the Zone meets are about Dezzy and Mick.

Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:04 pm

It wasn't beardymatt,I know what he looks like.
It was the screen in the beer tent,which I have to admit wernt to bad on prices!

Tue Jul 12, 2011 6:16 pm

Ah, ithought you meant on the camp site as they had a 32" flat screen in the boot of one of the cars.

So your an old coont!

I always thought you were a youngun.

Wed Jul 13, 2011 10:02 am

Only one of the two wearing a shirt was "an old coont". What makes you think the older one was me and not the younger one?

Wed Jul 13, 2011 10:11 am

Any vids of Gadgit's motor on the strip?!

the same as last year,£3.50 a pint .

Wed Jul 13, 2011 12:43 pm

thats not too bad, thought i would have been more than £3.50. Someone i know, their sons school prom is coming up, £3.90 for pint of coke

cheaper to drink beer as thats only £3.60 a pint, don't think a 16 year old at a prom will get away with that though.

It was £3 at all the bars for cans,I did ask for a pint but they said they didn't do pints just cans.

I seem to drink cans twice as quick!

Wed Jul 13, 2011 1:14 pm

Thats because a can is approx 2/3 pint.

Was only having a crack fella.

Wed Jul 13, 2011 4:07 pm

even so cans do go down a lot faster for some strange reason. Drink a can, then the same amount of a glass, you'll drink the can faster every time. lol.
