Woo! Ashton Court!
See you by the pies

 

[Hollis]

I'm vaguely interested how this is going to work out with 'the other place' element.. Are we going to sit 20 feet away from each other and lob custard pies at each other?

I wish I could astrally project.

(Well, I sort of can, but only when dreaming. I free floated through the Martian atmosphere once. Real as anything, or was it just a dream...)

But, what I was saying was that I wish I could astrally project as a genuine method of transport at will while awake, as I was too ill last year, but mainly in terms of the effort getting there and back,

so I'll get into training for it now.

Meet you all at pieminsters.

 

[djbombscare]

There's buses that run up from the town centre

Train to Temple Meads then a shortish walk to wherever the festival coach stop is this year ... last year it was opposite the Colston Hall.

It doesn't matter to most of the Bristol crew. Mind you a few of em swing both ways

I'll sit in the middle, but only if you throw Pieminister pies, not noodles.

 

[djbombscare]

Are you gonna make it down to this. We were looking forward to meeting ya at Kabu

There weren't any buses back though. I nearly killed myself walking back, and so I wasn't able to go on the Sunday. (A few of us, including munkeeunit, had quite a nice chilled afternoon at Hamster Mansions instead. )

no pies ever leave my hands apart from to go in my mouth it could be like one of those fairground games if we all open our mouths wide enough Oh and fh-please try if you can to come to bath next Friday for the mini-meet at the Bell

 

[djbombscare]

Hammy I'm sure there are buses back. KRS and everyone normally get em

And we nearly get hit by em on the way back to the car.

As long as someone taps me on the shoulder when they're heading off for the last buses. In the not too recent past I'd walk there and back and dance my way through the day and early evening.

But then those were the days when you could also still take the 'short cut' over the bridge.

 

[Isambard]

They cancelled the buses last year cos the crowd was too unruly. It can be a LONG walk back if that happens. I left a bit early on the second day last year to make sure I got a bus.

I'm not sure I can make it ths year but if I can see you by the PieMinister stall and I can swing both ways between beef and chicken!

oh - that's so nice.

I see no reason why not. Although the transport thing sounds a little alarming...

There's not much they can do about it really. The site's at the top of a hill with only two sensible roads to it. Once walking people fill the roads up, the buses stop working

If I was going on my own, I'd probably put my bike on the train and use that. Hard work getting up there, but glorious freewheeling all the way down

 

[fractionMan]

Mmm. pies in the sun

That sounds like fun

Except for me, after freewheeling all the way down, I'd have to peddle all the way up the other side of the ditch back to Horfield. That's another reason why it was so walkable for me when the bridge was open, as apart from a few gently undulating up and downs along the way, I'm more or less as high up as the bridge to being with, whether going there or back.

 

[Streathamite]

ain't this thread a little early?

 

[munkeeunit]

I think it was a tactical post to counter the Welsh insurgency,

I'm sure time will catch up with it,

and it looks like the Welsh v Bristol / South West thing is settling down to level peggings anyway, but who knows what crafty tricks they still have up their sleeves.

 

[Streathamite]

ahh I seeeee...
better watch them lot over the severn channel...devious lot....

Not very likely this time, I'm afraid - but maybe someone could collect your Australian crisps for you from Hamster Mansions and bring them to you?

 

[Sunspots]

I've got no idea how I got back from Ashton Court at the end of each evening last year. I'm pretty sure I didn't have to walk though.

 

[sparkling]

The Special Need Tent is a must. 'My My My Jemima' Ah it brought a tear to my eye.
