Camping people - kit advice?

you're fat, bald, have a gay beard, and speak with a rediculously fey
northern accent, and generally look like you're a refugee from a
homosexual S&M club. I can't remember if you actually have one, but you
look like the sort who'd wear a black leather waistcoat.

 

'It's just Bear'. Well I for one will no longer be excusing his
behaviour based on that flimsy criteria.

When I'm on my family holiday with my kids I do.

 

I didn't say it was an excuse. There's no excuse for Bear. He's a bit
like bad weather.

probably a mistake considering camping as an option then, IME.

 

This is the worst crime of all, if you ask me.

One word: Judge.

 

*ding*

Just about the only item of clothing gayer than a leather waistcoat is
a leather/pvc peaked cap.

 

We'll be fine, we have a yurt.

 

my objection to camping is really the mud, lack of decent clean
toilets, lack of amenities, lack of a bar, screaming children, having
to be civil to the sort of people who like camping etc.

Give me a private air-conditioned apartment in an interesting European
city, or a luxury villa with a private pool any day. Which is what
we're doing this year, funnily enough.

 

I don't know who it is, but it's been damn entertaining reading this
thread! It reminds me of the arguments that always seemed to accompany
camping holidays when I was a kid. I'm amazed nobody's mentioned
popcorn yet though.

 

I like the cut of your jib. I shall mostly be here in a few weeks -
http://www.holiday-rentals.com/index.cfm/property/5907.cfm and neither
Bear nor LN are invited!

 

No death threats though, which was a shame

 

"Was"? Is it all over then? I was looking forward to today's episode :-(

 

it is pretty amusing, even though I've no idea[1] what set LN and Matt
off in the first place. FFS, Bear's a big old fluffy bunny these days
compared to a few years back.

[1] though I have 1/2 an idea that it's something that's spilled over
from that stupid two-eggs newsgroup.

 

looks nice. We've got 3 nights in an apartment in Barcelona followed by
10 nights in a villa-with-a-pool between Valencia and Alicante.

 

"Between Valencia and Alicante" - that'll be Benidorm then ;-)

 

"No problem".

 

I think you misunderstand - I don't think Fr.Jack is actually gay. He
just comes across as camp. This is, of course, my perception (though
clearly not just mine), but the reason I perceive it is the semiotics
of Fr.Jack's appearance and manner.

Are you addressing this comment at me[1]? Because I'mdefinitely not
"frightened of my own nature" and my persona, whilst admitedly
syncretic, is not affected. I am like I am because of my experiences.

[1] this seems more likely than the alternative which would be that
you're suggesting Fr.Jack is intentionally projecting a gay persona.

 

heh - no.

Near Denia.

 

Big nose.

I've no idea. I only noticed it this morning when I saw the Blane's
congratulatory post. Anyway, last time I went camping it was in
temperatures normally found on the antarctic peninsula. It's pretty shit
whichever way you look at it

 

And indeed "camping with UKRM"

Exactly.

Camping makes electrical devices "challenging" to use. And who can
say that they can live without their toaster, hi-fi, television, and -
for the wannabe-nerds around here - computer?

I'm vaguely thinking of buying a place in Thailand. Can get a wicked
place for about 40 grand.[0] I just don't have time to go out there
and look.
