Pastey Posted May 9, 2000
Oh, yes!! Yes!! YES!!! Leather sandals, white toweling sports socks, short polyester/nylon mix shorts that give that sort of shiny look. A t-shirt from Florida or Paris. And don't forget the round brimmed hat from someplace slightly more exotic, say Blackpool. Ohhhhhh! And, and, and perhaps a tartan thermos of tea to top it all off?? Oh, go on. Say I can... please?

Well, as long as the hat says "Kiss Me Quick" or something equally tacky, I don't see a problem with that.
Sorry, did I say "don't"? I meant to say "do".

Just look for the complete bunch of nutters, we will probably be standing to 10 yards to the left laughing at them.

It's going to be fun. Bring some water guys and suntan cream and stuff. I'm going to bring some water, but I won't be able to carry enough for everyone, and last time we got thirsty...

And if you bring booze, bring enough for us all Nah, seriously if you are gonna have a drink, do drink lots of non-alcoholic liquids, else you'll get drunk very quickly and feel very very very ill.
I've also just checked the 5 day forecast again, they now think that these thunder storms are going to be over and gone quicker than was originally thought. So that means that the maximum temperature expected for Saturday has now risen from 20 to 21!

Pastey Posted May 10, 2000
I haven't bought my ticket(s) yet as we're not sure how many of me are turning up yet. Hopefully all of me, but at least just me.

I don't want to worry anybody, but the last time I checked the forecast it said 23 degrees!

*Joanna who has never burned, and used suntan lotion for only approximately 1% of the time she's been out in the sun, and doesn't plan on burning on Saturday*

Phil hopes it's nice but not too sunny so he doesn't get sunburned.

*Joanna vaguely pities all the world's pale people, but thinks that knowing her luck she'll get sunburn for the first time on saturday*

Phil Posted May 11, 2000
*Phil tries to hate those who don't get sunburnt, but realises that it's not worth the bother so just tries to look pale and interesting instead *

*makes a mental note to bring several hundred bottles of Tipp-Ex for Phil to use instead of sun tan lotion*
