Here's a fun joke for you all... What's the fastest dessert? ....you guessed it, SCONE! That joke takes the biscuit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deebeedoobee Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 I asked the maid in a gentle tone To bring me a buttered scone The silly girl has only gone And brought instead a buttered scone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucyginger Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 Thanks for the concern, everyone, I was ok! Welly and I had gone to see Jezza, got stuck in the bottle neck but managed to see a screen and could hear him well enough. So that was all fine. Then, when he'd finished, the crowd got a bit scary! We were trying to get out, and just shuffled along with everyone else, but there was a few lads not far from us that were being quite aggressive and shovey and then my breathing started to go...! I managed to keep on top of it, Welly was amazing and just held on to me, there was a couple by us and the man made sure we stayed together and gave me some water, the lady was lovely and made sure I was ok. We eventually got out of the bottleneck, people made sure we were ok, (I was, I had managed to keep my breathing on track but knew I might pop at any moment!) and we went and sat in the markety bit. A couple next to us asked if we were ok, and gave me some tequila, which definitely helped! After a few minutes we made our way back to camp, and I had a big old howl!!! We just stayed there for a while, in the safety of the tent. We spent the rest of the day together, as I didn't really think it was a good idea for me to go somewhere by myself, and she said she wasnt happy with that either so I went with her to The National and the Foo's and had a great time! Welly was amazing the whole time, she had never dealt with a panic attack before, but did everything just perfectly It didn't spoil the afternoon, it was a bit inconvenient but we were ok!

I am just back from the pub. Jam before cream; butter not needed with all that dairy. I like a goat curry but am really not fussed which curry as long as it's not a korma and isn't on my scone. @Curlygirl's cherry bakewell is far more delicous than the tart of the same name. @lucyginger sorry you were struggling on the Saturday. I'm lucky enough never to have had a panic attack but some of the crowd crushes this year were downright alarming. How did your choir thingy go by the way? Choir thing was good, thanks! A good warm up for the proper concert in a couple of weeks! Well done you for carrying on with going to the pub! very wise! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 What do you call cheese that doesn't belong to you? Nacho cheese! Glad you survived Lucy! Big kudos @Wellyboot for keeping her safe I did find myself a bit uncomfortable with the crowds this year, but nothing like that. We didn't even get that close to Foos, but the guys I was with were trying to meet up with some other people so they just kept on ploughing forward and I had to keep up! It's weird, I've got no issue with being shoulder to shoulder with people and packed in a bit tight (ooer), but it's when I then look over the top of the crowd a bit and realise just how far it is to be able to get out if I wanted to that I get the heebie jeebies a bit.

I've never really had an issue with crowds, as a short arse, I can't see if I'm in a massive crowd or just a small group! Haha! I did get crushed in the crossover crowd from Morrissey to U2 in 2011, that wasn't very nice. Then this year had the panic, but that's all. I'm usually ok! I think it just depends on how you are at the time and what's going on around you. I was so lucky to have my lovely friend to look after me, and we were very lucky to have the help of kind strangers Or, five minute friends, as we like to call them.

Dave_c Posted July 11, 2017 Report Share Posted July 11, 2017 The big question really though is the pronunciation of said circular flour based product. Is it scone, as in scawn, or scone as in scown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We decided to go out for a bit of a drive to get out of the house for a bit and still managed to get soaked. Got back to house and went for a booked hour in the hot tub and sauna. Fuck it can't get any more wet. Then sat bubbling away and spotted a fucking wasps nest above us. Safe to say we legged it. Really looking forward to Cornwall now.
