[F] Clarecraft - The Quotefile
Mike Knell
Well, what can I say? A weekend of incredible heat (phew), drinking
probably more beer than was healthy, meeting lots of people I hadn't
met before and lots more who I had but was delighted to meet again,
free-falling purity scores (not mine, I didn't lose one lousy point
all weekend - it's still 98.6%), making dubious and ultimately useless
sound recordings with my Psion, sitting under trees waiting for the
heat to go away, zipping round the back roads of Suffolk with the
Leningrad Cowboys blaring out of the stereo and surprising passers-by,
etc, etc.
My memories of the weekend are marginally hazy, but I distinctly remember
having a fun time - right down to the point when the brush next to the
bonfire caught fire, and I considered the fact that the flames were creeping
towards us to be strangely hilarious. Very odd. The fact that I suddenly
felt very "tired and emotional" about 15 minutes later and went to bed might
have something to do with this. Hint - if it's a hot day, drinking beer all
day with only one non-alcoholic beverage (a coke at about 2pm) will leave
you a little dehydrated and have strange effects on your mind after about
12 hours of such abuse. *ouch*
Anyhow, apologies for the singing (hey, it was almost tuneful at the
beginning, just those loud people being tuneless that made it very, er,
loud and discordant), further apologies to all the people who I wanted
to spend more time talking to but couldn't (I don't know, you might consider
this to be a Good Thing), and as a final insult the quotefile from my Psion
is appended. They're all pretty well verbatim quotes, generally taken about
as far out of context as it's possible to be...

You did miss the following from the same conversation:
"I wasn't really that loud was I?" - Red Tent occupant
"Yes" - Blue tent nearby
And prior to this:
"Hey, there's a *vom* card outside our tent....." - Red Tent
> 'Okay' AFPRAT (Aka Bugsy)
Wooo! my abbreviation made it into the group ;)
"You see that bloke in the black T-shirt"
"You mean the one who you spent the night in the tent with?"
"yeah thats the one, whats his name?" - AFPRAT
