Are you coming to Strawberry Fair? Urban75 Year 4 : Saturday 4 June 2005, Cambridge, FREE!

[Roadkill]

i might be there... last train home is at only 8pm though

I've got the same problem.

Tbh I'm tempted just to take a tent and find somewhere to pitch it. I want somewhere to crash, although being far too spannered to sleep sounds like a good option too. There were flyers for various all-nighters being handed out last year.

We could just get completely battered and stay up all night?

'Every time you...'

I'm in!

 

[Fruitloop]

The only thing that puts me off going is the monster walk from the train station to the site

There is a bus you know! It only costs a pound.

 

[Roadkill]

I'm in!

It'd be nice to meet you mate.

Besides, I'm up for getting hammered and staying up all night if other people are. I doubt the esteemed Mr Longdog will take much persuading either. He managed pretty well last year!

 

[silentNate]

I'm tempted but I'll have to discuss it with Epona before making any firm plans

Real Ale you say

 

[milesy]

Perhaps my memory's playing tricks on me (which is more than possible).

Shame about the last train time though. Are you sure about that Baldrick?

actually it's my memory that's up the spout....Fruitloop mentioning the bus has just reminded me that the only walks i've had to do to the site are from foo's house, not from the train station....

I'm not have to be at a bap[tism the next day

I'm not have to be at a bap[tism the next day

We haven't had a messy all-nighter for far too long.

 

[aqua]

I know but there is no way I can for this

a full on messy day time however

a full on messy day time however

That goes without saying, doesn't it?

 

[liberty]

Looking forward to this again

 

[liberty]

Will need to get a train down this time is it far from the station?

 

[onenameshelley]

Will need to get a train down this time is it far from the station?

are you gonna be camping it Liberty?? I might be able to persuade the cabbage that this is a good idea.

 

[foamy]

I shall be there!
Like the last 23 years of my life...


might even see if i can borrow the old mans house boat to use as a base... might be dreaming though....

 

[Hollis]

Will need to get a train down this time is it far from the station?

Yes. But there's a good bus service.

Anyway, I'll be there.

 

[Swearing Nonna]

As long as people are coming to have fun and not sneer at our burberry wearing capped youth then it will be good to see people

Dance Tent is definite this year, bonus cos it was all getting a bit out of hand with the dance area taking over, the ethos of SF being lost and the whole event being in danger of not happening at all if things carried on the way they were

Council put on buses from the station for the event so you'll have no problems getting from the station to the fair.

 

[milesy]

massively looking forward to it, it will be good to be up your manor again

 

[sheothebudworths]

massively looking forward to it.....blah, blah, blah....

That'll be a 'No' from me then.

Did you enjoy reading timetables as a child Hollis?

 

[Hollis]

My dad has a fine selection of old GWR timetables.

 

[Hollis]

Cheap Day Return £17

With annual gold card £11.20

 

[milesy]

That'll be a 'No' from me then.

"oh, that's quite a shame", lied milesy.

 

[sheothebudworths]

I finished reading this thread some time ago now.

 

[milesy]

well in that case you won't read me saying how much of an utter cunt you truly are.

 

[mysterygirl]

With a bit of luck - and a tent - I'll be there.

Can you camp there then???? I didn't know that........

 

[sheothebudworths]

Oh and....

...I'm sorry to hear that Hollis.



(((((((((((((Hollis)))))))))))))


















My son has an enormous collection of tube/train/bus maps and has been able to tell you the quickest possible route on every possible journey on the tube (or indeed, longer alternatives if you have the time and/or inclination ) since the age of four.

 

[sheothebudworths]

Btw - I may have added a couple of posts to this thread, but I'm still not reading it.

 

[Roadkill]

Can you camp there then???? I didn't know that........

You're not supposed to camp on the common but last year people certainly were, although not many.

Probably best to ask one of the locals.

 

[longdog]

Well I don't think I'll be in attendance due to financial restraints. I've already planned out my summer spends and I can't (or at least don't want to) try to spread the money to thinly.

I can't afford to put the doggy into kennels for the weekend, I'm not taking him with me on such crowded trains and to go there and back in a day would leave me with seven hours train time for the sake of a few hours at the fair.



Oh well, next year perhaps.
