It's a friends birthday, and we shall be hanging out a bit for that. I don't know what to get her though.
Probably just wine. She didn't get me anything for my birthday. The cunt.

How long are you camping for?

I'm thinking a bangkok is in order

that's fairly good, not too short, not too long
my roommate has been leaving in the eve and coming back in the morning, I'm thinking, what's the point in that?
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 14:10, Reply)

yeah, that seems pointless
I forsee the weekend going like this.

I get in my mate's van, he starts plying me with booze immediately. (He won't be drinking)
We get to the campsite, I'm already halfcut and I put up my tent in a half-arsed way.
Everyone else arrives and forces me to drink way more booze than I can handle.
I vomit and then pass out.
Get up, go for a fry up and go surfing.
Repeat intake of booze etc.
Repeat fry up and surfing.
Go home, watch the Grand Prix while slowly dying of a hangover.

Ugh. No. It's way too expensive. I bought her a designer purse for her birthday last year and she didn't get anything for me.
I know it's the thought that counts
I've thought a lot about that wasted money

Buy her some corn dogs

I'm too old and too civilised for camping

( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 14:04, Reply)

camping can be perfectly civilised
because I take my boards I've always got the car, so there's no reason not to be dry and comfortable while you do it.

Barbecue cooking is just as good as regular cooking.

You're just doing it wrong.

Can you have a king sized double bed with Egyptian cotton sheets?
Can you wake when it is warma nd dark, wander to an en suite piping hot shower and then pop downstairs for a full English breakfast?

there's no downstairs outside, stupid

The Wombles are playing Glastonbury this weekend.

and they are one of the best acts there

I think they only got the gig because they said they'd clear the site when everyone goes home.

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 14:22, Reply)

yes to the first.
and the second.

the shower at the place I go isn't far away and is better than the showers in most people's houses and it's a short jaunt to the pub for a fry up.

and I get the benefit of a 5 minute drive to some of the best surf beaches in the country.

Ths is stupid argment, camping cannot be as comfortable and civilised as a nice hotel/B&B
and I'm beginning to sound like swipe
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 14:14, Reply)

I go camping a lot and as such have spent quite a lot on a decent airbed
it's not as good as a great mattress, but it's a shitload better than the ones I've slept on in most B&Bs.

It has the added advantage of costing about £5 a night to stay there.

Just because you have no imagination or the ability to take comfort and civilisation with you doesn't mean it can't be done.
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 14:16, Reply)

Exactly.
Camping is a piece of piss and can be far more pleasant than staying in a B&B. Especially if you have the right equipment.

for real, you don't have to worry about other people ruining your stay
about getting locked out of your room
about getting food poisoning from shite food

I dunno
I've eaten some fairly questionable camping stove food.

you should probably cook for yourself from now on

you and your friends are dribbling mongs though

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 14:37, Reply)

what has being civilised got to do with anything?
it's all in how you do it
there can be shitty service and dirty rooms in a hotel, no matter how much you pay
but you know you are clean, your things are clean
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 14:21, Reply)

Balls to all of you, I like a roof, proper bed and proper service
Yes you can get crap hotels etc, but I have never had a problem.
( Naked Ape call me Caitlyn, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 14:27, Reply)

that may be what you like
which is fair enough, but don't diss camping if you don't actually know what it's like.

Hotels etc. have their place, but for my purposes I'd prefer the freedom and the reduced interaction with staff and the like that comes with camping.

Don't get me wrong though, those regimented and organised campsites are fucking dreadful. Crammed in with a bunch of cunts from the midlands and their shitbag little children...

You've got to choose the site carefully.

I would be interested to hear where this decent campsite is
specifically if it's north coast, Woolacombe kind of way. Or if you know anywhere round there with a decent campsite and board/wetsuit rental?
(berk, Wed 22 Jun 2011, 14:30, Reply)

it's in Cornwall, about halfway between Padstow and Newquay.
near Woolacombe I would recommend a place called Little Roadway Farm.

For hire I'd go to Surfed Out, either in Braunton, or at the beach at Saunton.

Are you sure this isn't because you want to see Vipros in a wetsuit?

trust me
no one wants to see that
