I'm having the perfect weekend, destruction and drinking.
First time this year with decent weather forcast, I'm getting my trusty axe out to cut some trees down with my real life buddies.

We are off to Pamber forest to get bladdered and try not to kill ourselves.

Daytime here: www.hwt.org.uk/pages/pamber-forest-r.html
Evening here: maps.google.co.uk/maps/place?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=the+plough+little+london&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=The+Plough&hnear=The+Plough&cid=5740001692326771623

Life is grand.

What are you guys going to be doing this weekend? I'm off at noon, so get typing.

There's only about one original member left I fear
Still, should be good nonetheless.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:25, Reply)

Yep, sadly only one left .
Just been watching some 2010 gigs on youtube though, it's still good.

Do they have the fellow from Blackfoot in them now?
He's fucking cool.

Ricky Medlock
Still rockin' as far as I know.
(oneinthepink is at your cervix m'lady, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:41, Reply)

That's the fellow.

Preparing my St. Jude costume for a fancy dress party
Yay!
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:20, Reply)

Isn't he the lost causes guy?

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:21, Reply)

Yup
He's my homeboy
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:25, Reply)

What is distinctive about St Jude's costume that makes it recognisable?

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:33, Reply)

He gave up making it halfway through cos he couldn't sew.

( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:35, Reply)

Totally this
Nah, he has a flame on his head and a GIANT medallion of Jesus, rapper-sized.
And he has a mop-pole (staff). Mine will be a mop-pole.

It's not for another two weeks,
But sure.
( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:42, Reply)

Nuffin much.
Going to see the new Alice in Wonderland film with my nephew.
( girlinthehole, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:24, Reply)

Please give us a report
I want to see it, but only if its not crap.

Does your nephew think you are a cool aunty, or an embarrasing one?
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:30, Reply)

Cool of course as he's only 9.
Another few years and he'll be cringing with embarrasement at everthing me and his bonkers mum say and do.
( girlinthehole, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:40, Reply)

Daytime 'date' tomorrow
Sunday seeing my little'un, all being well.

Looks good, eh chums?
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:27, Reply)

You're allowed out in daylight?
I thought you might evaporate or something?
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:31, Reply)

Maybe I will.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:34, Reply)

That is cool

( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:36, Reply)

Good luck Monty.
Just don't go near any jumper shops.
( girlinthehole, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:41, Reply)

It's the 'shirts' I'm most wary of

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:45, Reply)

Yup, be careful.
Everybody shirts.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:54, Reply)

A cursory glance into the bars around my area
would confirm your suspicions in no time at all.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:06, Reply)

Shopping and seeing Avatar with kiddo tomorrow.
Cooking and walking on Sunday. There will be sleep involved.

One thing I certainly won't be doing is posting my exact location for the whole weekend on an internet site filled with benders and paedos. I'm far too pretty.
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:34, Reply)

Bugger!

( girlinthehole, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:42, Reply)

That's what he's trying to avoid.
The poor fellow has no idea about the tracking device I've concealed in his phone, bless him.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:47, Reply)

Gaz me the coordinates please.

( girlinthehole, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:50, Reply)

I would welcome visitors
Don't forget, I'm carrying an axe.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:44, Reply)

Please tell me you'll be wearing a plaid shirt.

( girlinthehole, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:51, Reply)

but of course I will,
with a body warmer, shorts and wellies.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:55, Reply)

Lovely.
*rubs thighs*
( girlinthehole, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:01, Reply)

probably smoke myself insensible tonight
surfing tomorrow if it's not flat, followed by hosting my brother's burger-related birthday bash at my house, because he has moved to a town where old people go to die, and no one wants to go visit him there.

going to see gf's sister on sunday, then dinner at my parents' place.

action packed weekend. shame it's so full of relatives.

Will any children be calling you 'Beard'?

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:43, Reply)

more than likely

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:44, Reply)

They'll be calling his girfriend a 'beard', that's for sure.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:47, Reply)

He didn't move to Sidmouth did he?
The nearly dead head count is incredibly high there.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:48, Reply)

even worse
Budleigh Salterton
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:49, Reply)

Ooh! that is dull.
I have a friend who chose to move there. Her flat has a stairlift built in.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:57, Reply)

that sums the place up
my brother mainly moved to get away from the peasants who lived near his old place. Now he has no friends because he lives too far away (i.e. outside walking distance)
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:01, Reply)

are all his friends nomads?
or monks?
(bazmorningstar efil4nat3b, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:03, Reply)

I suppose we could be considered to be monks or nomads...

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:21, Reply)

50's night tonight
Supreme Commander for the rest of the weekend, with some breaks trying to sort out buying a flat.
(PsychoChomp, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 9:42, Reply)

I'm moving in with Ze German.
We found a cool three-bedroomed gaf 20 minutes walk from work - sweet!

Changing job, house and county in the space of a month is fucking stressful though.

Congratulations.
Hope it all goes well.

Go for your life mate
Sounds like changes for the better all round. I'm really happy for ya.
( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:03, Reply)

cheers!
I'm really looking forward to it. There are two living rooms as well so she has agreed I will have one devoted to the goggle box and she can pretty up the other one. I'm going to set up a bar in it too. I'm never leaving the house!

Got my mental Aussie friend visiting from London after not seeing her for months
and another friend of ours has just got a long overdue and very well deserved new job, got rid of her lame boyfriend, passed her driving test and decided to move in with my girlfriend (thus saving them both money).

There's a lot of drinking and celebrating to be done.

Well have fun.
Pamber any good for wild camping?
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:20, Reply)

Not really,
There are too many dog walkers about, and there is a wandering herd of cattle who trample everything.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:26, Reply)

How about any of the other sites?
I'm the 'arrive at dusk, gone at dawn' type.
( Larry Vest One day at a time, sweet Jesus, FFS., Fri 5 Mar 2010, 10:51, Reply)

Try the New Forest.
But if you are, as you say, then give it a try. I've never heard of "geurilla camping" before, but it sounds cool.

I do know a lot of woods, and other places too, so give me some examples of places you have been to and I'll see if I can add some similar sites.
( Bartleby A dead man on vacation, Fri 5 Mar 2010, 11:05, Reply)

Anywhere I can get 100m from roads, houses, footpaths.
Scenic if poss - woods are good - anywhere I can do a decent (say 6/8 mile) hike too and the walk is worth doing. Animals, agricultural or wild, are no problem.
Dartmoor seems to be my first thought always, but it's too far away.
I live in the country's most heavily wooded county (or is it second?) and I plan to try a few of the woods in your link over spring/summer.
I'll let you know how that goes.

Have a good one.
