Not had a chance to get online these past few days and we hope to be going to go to Cornwall on Friday. Wana catch me a big Catfish if I can, or Carp.
Not going sea fishing this time just going to sit on the lakes. I have your journals to read when I get back....Going to attempt to get Mrs ban to take her laptop so I can get on the Rave....if not, I'll catch up with you all later.
Some family issues at the moment may see us return early though I hope all will be well.
Nibley festival was a great weekend which I didn't want to end, loads of Ska. I had intended on camping for 2 nights but I didn't want to erect my Bivvey because of the torrential rain. Lucky for me I was able to sleep in my friends tent on the first night and on the second night I slept in my car.
Behind.
Time for a beer!
The Ale, lager, Cider, Pims flowed well with a fantastic line up. The weather was pants as it rained quiet a lot through the day. We did however have a reprieve from the rain with a dry spell ensuing for around 4 and a half hours during the day.
The beats had a good time with laser quest, face paint, magician and lots of other activities....which all cost me valuable beer money!! Bah lol
I of course went into full festival mode and in between the main stage act other bands played in the beer tent. To get to the stage reminded me of the red sea parting as it was so easy for the children to get right at the front of the main stage and inside the beer tent, though quite daunting for an adult. We didn't stay at the front for to long as I was a little concerned about the levels of noise and immediately felt old. Gotta watch out for the beasts ears!
After hours of rain, drink, and dancing Mrs ban took the beasts home and I retired to the orchard with some friends where we sat under a large tent with a beautiful fire to dry us out. Soon after followed guitars and Cider and the odd gatecrashers, though we were performing so we didn't mind.....even if we were pants lol.
The next day I had one hell of a hangover and was glad to get back into bed...Blah! Mrs ban was a star and let me sleep in until 1400hrs, which I really really needed : )

Woo! Looks like you had a great time!!!
glad to see you had some fun :)
I support the idea of these festivals but my body just won't allow a sleepover in a tent or car for that.
Looking at the pics thou it seems you all had a great time even with the rain. Good on ya!
Looks like you had a ball. You deserve some fun time!
It starts tonight with just beer and food and I will be there. Going to put the Bivvey up this afternoon. I am looking forward to drinking without Mrs ban watching over me like a Hawk. The beasts will come down tomorrow with Mrs ban so I get a blokes night away with the guitars. We are staying in a field next to the official one so that we can have a fire weather permitting, as in the main field it isn't allowed. It's an apple orchard and the guy whose field it is makes cider ^^ Will of course take the camera and a change of clothes!

I really hope you have fun ... omg the mud!!
It shouldn't be to bad I hope!
Hope you manage to stay dry ! Even with all the cider ;)
At last she came back. 7 weeks and a couple of days and she was in my arms. I almost cried when I checked her over and could quiet easily blown a gasket!
The chain guard hadn't been finished properly, the tank has a small blemish, the fairing/belly pan hasn't been put together properly, the exhaust bracket is cracked, the front near side fork has been scratched, the swing arm hasn't even been replaced, hand rail lacquerer scratched, and I have scratches on the fairing underneath the hand grips!
I am not a happy man at the moment. I didn't give the bloke who delivered the bike any grief, it wasn't his fault. I think he was grateful!lol
He took her back with him.
I felt like I just wanted to kill someone @@
I did have to take some very deep breaths, very very deep ones! : (

You did the right thing in sending it back. For far to long we have been treated like they are doing us a favour yet we pay for the service. A legal threatening letter may help keep the price down too ;-)
I have made the phone call and done a letter : )
That totally sucks. They has better put everything right free of charge!!! But are you sure you want them touching your baby anymore?!
I like when men are passionate about something and they always name it a 'she' :)
Hey Em, don't get too excited as I call my washing machine a she!!
She should be back in an hour, lets hope she is looking great otherwise I will be disappointed... I wonder if I could get her into bed without getting oil and petrol on the sheets....
Nibley festival this weekend which I am going to camp out on Friday and Saturday night, weather permitting. Only I think 3.5 thousand people are going because it is a small festival... lol
Well I should have had her back today. The garage rang on Monday to report that one of the mechanics had scratched the tank so it would now be Thursday that she comes back. Going to cost me just over 7 hundred and sixty squid in engine and servicing stuff : (
Mrs ban is GOING TO FRIGGIN KILL ME!!
Mrs bans car needs a new clutch and the steering column needs to be replaced, looking at around 15 hundred squid to replace it!!Bah!! May as well buy another car as it's only worth about the same!
Going to pimp myself out in the red light to get extra cash...need to get more than a tenner!!lol
Any offers?
COMMENTS
A tenner? *sings* go compare.
Have fun at the fest..!
At my age and with my body I'll be lucky to get a ton! Lol
People will pay good money for a guy with horns.
Ah, so there could be a market for me ^^ lol
It's really odd when one comes across a profile which is well laid out and has some good and not so good pictures. Now I have rated almost every profile on the Rave, this one I haven't. I read all the profile and I leave a comment...only to find that I am blocked.
Very strange as I have never written to them before...if I had I could understand why I would be blocked lol.
People can be so strange..
COMMENTS
Ooops, blocked before you arrive on their profile? o^O
seems you didn't give a little to them too
*chuckles* Yes blocked by margareet, before I could even give her a little something...@@
Maybe that's there way of rating/acknowledging members, by blocking them! lol
I'm thinking that maybe the profile was originally under another name...?
When taking over a profile the first thing I would do would be task off all the blocks.....I don't think that this is the case...she just doesn't like me lol!!
