Yeah for me the essentials for another successful T would be

1) A sledge to pack all your crates of beer onto coz the waiting in the Q last year was awful i felt my arms were gonna fall off.

2) Bin bags..incase it rains..alwasy great to go running around in bin bags

3) Shrooms on the friday ..makes the weekend seem to last longer as time and space ust seems to be everlasting on shrooms

4) Make a pact with your mates that the only thing you will drink for the weekend will be Beer...amazingly funny

5) A lielow go to the shops in the camping area buy a lielow and you'll have a really good kip after your day of rockin out


...any suggestions?

i have acquired a sledge for this year as i am sick of carrying bags full of booze !

lots of bog roll

something (not a flag cos everyone does that) to identify your tent so u dont get too lost (something i have been meaning to do every year but forget)

condoms (well you never know............ )

a seat so if it rains your bum doesnt get wet sitting on the grass!

i think a flag is an amzing idea..if u ever seen the footage of bbc when franz ferdiannd was playin...there are two flags n ear the front of the crowd a big blue peace flag and a red shey gavara flag (those flags were essential to meet up wif all my mates as they all made their way through the see of ppl during sisscor sisters to get to me..perfect thing to have i'd say...but yeah condoms great thinkin..coz u really dont know

essentials :-

babywipes & deoderant
bog roll
lilo is a good idea



*a high tolerency of neds*

May i say that a sledge isn't all its cracked up to be. Last year my shoulder was in bits after trekking to our camp spot. This year, after seeing a few people breeze past me effortlessly, I think im gonna take one those things you see in hardware type stores to ship large objects. Its hard to describe but if you taped your crates to it and carried the bottled drinks in your bag i reckon it'd make the walk a lot more bearable. Failing that i'm stealing some poor buggers wheelie bin. Sorry I just couldn't stand back and let another person put their shoulder through the pain I put mine through last year.

All your other ideas are very nice though.

not goin to argue with tht!

pls if you see any - I know you will - just use a baseball bat & put him out of his misery

lol sounds like a good idea, but it would be a waste of a bat wouldnt it?

hopefully if you use holy water then they might vanish (taking the rest of the population...very unlikly though)..but if only
btw the cart trolly thing is a great idea...and yeah loo rools..u need them...but after like 10kins in the friday the loos are more discusting than a ned tryin to be normal

that's why you wait til they've jus been cleaned man

yeah but even though they've been cleaned..there's still sh*t on the walls from ppl who are too wrecked to know the difference between the ground and the sky...and then u have all the puke ..i mean drinkin early on from friday...all day..the light weights alwasy cave..if not near the tents the lucky ones make it to the loo's...still it's the worst place on earth ..well mabye the worst place on earth would be an island of neds and u were the only one amoungst them (fun fun)


so i'd say another essential....no sense of smell

A shitty old stereo with Cassette Decks, and a collection of Compilations made by you so you can bring music to the campsite! It's the best idea in the world, people come round and comment on your (lack of) taste and it helps to liven up the long nights!

this is good unless you are parked next to neds who play ned music all weekend!

an oil drum of DDT and a spray gun, for the midges.

based on last years weather.,...
blankets... lots of them....
especially if your an english softie like me.....

although its probably best to buy them there....

and take lots of money for the amazing organic steak van....
the best festival food i have ever had....
fillet stake cooked to your own preferance in an organic bun....
mmmmmmmmmm...... tasty....
it was between the nme stage and the dance tent last year...
(near the scottish dancing tent and the opposite the bacardi B bar and the walls beach...)

prices ranged from £3 to £7 for steak related foods....
awesome...

But if it's your music, you won't have that problem

*noted*

just a sleeping bag do me....fuk loadsa blankets

No the best sleep you van have apart from a drunken one is buy a lielow at the shoppin area in the campsite...that is amazing..although i burst it somehow
and also a flag...get all your cans or wotever u wanna take for that day...rap them round your flag..so the cans or standin up...and walk in the arena wif booze to fill you for a while

have you ever been to TITP?
its a hell of a way north of reading....

last year was amazingly cold...
