Minehead isn't in England. It's in the Westcountry. It's a whole different thing. You'll probably get stoned for not having the four-eight combination.

Seriously though, I'm recommending people don't stray away from the site. People in Minehead are fucking weird.

I'm 20 minutes drive away from the site. Anyone attractive, 16 and green-haired is more than welcome to crash at mine prior to and after the event.

Who says chivalry is dead?

Edit: I'm going by the way.

I think you've said it.

my mates brother is 16, attractive and has green hair.
ill pm you his phone number.

i will have one hopefully. any overseas board members going?

Yes, there are a few coming from America. I can remember Naomi saying she's coming over, and there's also this:

not yet, but soon i hope. still have to convince someone!

I am going with friends, yessss.

i'm going with one other person.
friend?
...yeah, i guess you could say that.

is it your dad?

nooooo. i haven't seen him in god knows how long, but i did send him $2500 for his birthday because i am just so nice.

I have a ticket also.

if you see me and say something to me i will probably freak out and hit you.

by the way, does anyone know what kind of beer they have?

I know a few OK local brewhouses if you want a proper (off-site) taste of the SouthWest.

It's properly into cider country though, although I suspect it'll have festival promotions/ endorsements on certain beers.

How accessable is the site from the aforementioned local brewhouses?

I imagine they will have your bog standard English pub beers: Guiness, Carling, the usual filth. And some more exciting ones but nothing that exciting.

i'll be okay if they have stella artois or heineken.

a tall glass of heineken from tap is always yummy...

it is way better in europe.

you might be better off (i.e. you'll save money) buying some cans at a supermarket and taking them with you than buying beer on site, as i reckon prices there will probably be higher than they ought, the on-site supermarket will probably sell out of stuff too. same goes for cigs, make sure you stock up on your brand before you go.

anything but cans, please.

they'll sell pints at the bars, but i'm going to buy a lot of cans before i go, because i'm a cheapskate.

Yes, cans are awful. Get bottles though.....

I'm going to stock up on tea bags I think.

bottles of gin and bottles of tonic. vegetables, curry.
whiskey, weed, stereo and lots of music for those late night parties.

remember the gin tonic slush puppies!!!

they do sell jack daniels in england, right? if i'm going for something in a bottle, it's gonna be a 5th.

Jack Daniels? What the fuck is that?

we would get along at a bar. tho after we'd get drunk you'd prob just kick my shins. jack n coke=mmm. rum n coke=blegh

i'm afraid i will drink almost anything guaranteed to get me drunk.

oh thank god.

The site isn't too far from what passes for 'civilisation' in Minehead. Having not been to an ATP before, I don't know what the precise booze on sale arrangements will be, but I'm pretty sure you should be able to find your Stella-of-hate. I shall probably stock up on Ket and Absinthe and perhaps a bottle of a decent Irish to get me through those long, snore-filled nights (two of the chaps are rotters for this).

This is gonna be fun.

I'm going to stock up on faggy English things like decent teabags, tunnocks teacakes, biscuits and things like that. As if I was going to another country...well, it's the westcountry so it sort of is.

what are tunnocks?

fuck me i need to get my ticket sharpish! the line up gets better by the hour. btw anyone have space in a shallet?

There's a tesco 5mins walk away from the place.

Just so you know,like.

These are tunnocks tea cakes. They are great.

ah, its a brand name?
i thought it was some wierd leicester thing.
i know them.....theyre disgusting!

I can offer English> Westcountry lessons at low low prices if anyone's interested? Thass bis 'ee's wannum, eh?

Damn they're good. Trying to eat the choclate without touching the marshmellow then licking the marshmellow out afterwards (pun intended) mmmm mmm mmmm
