NFR NFC 24
in Chat
Hello lucy.
Hope you are happy and well.
I think I did some gorilla NFR NFC action on other completely non related threads back in the day. And even though I'm not going to Glastonbury, I'm game for joining in, for old times sake.

I have similar but in a fetching yellow. Nursing a semi thinking about it.
Yellow! That is indeed lazy lob on territory.

Now this is a solid tyre that looks like it'd do the job;
I am in danger of getting into small tyre porn. You should see some of the tyres that I have just seen. The sexy little minxes!

Well. I'm a very refined kind of person - said nobody ever!

I didn't know it at the time, but I have already had my last Glastonbury. As I didn't know it, I never got to have the mindset that 'this is my last Glastonbury'. If I had known (and if it was allowed - no idea if it is or not these days) I'd have one last camp fire on an evening when the light was beginning to fade. I'd look down the hill from my campsite (what used to be Top Webbs Ash (and still maybe called that) at the 'town' below. I'd carry on watching until I could now see the place all lit up in the surrounding dark, and I'd say to myself 'I'm f**king going down into there in a bit'. And I would go down there, into town. I'd immerse myself in the frolics and shenanigans like an Emperor of the night.

It's a reference to the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory style competition.
I don't believe that it's physically golden (or at least wasn't last year), but that aside the exact same concept.
My apologies - I'd forgotten about the chocolate one. I haven't bought any of those - yet.

It's not impossible! I've won tickets to Glastonbury twice now. With BBC Radio each time, no Golden Ticket - which is my DREAM win! What a rush that would be.
I just meant tickets when I mentioned 'Golden tickets'. Are there actually 'Golden tickets', and if so, what are they?

Feels like I'm stating the obvious here, but the the Chocolate / Cheese / Brothers competitions aren't really designed for the people who're prepared to spend silly money buying far more than they normally would. They exist to encourage the substantially larger majority of people who might buy enough for a small number of entries to change their habits - buy an ethical (and nicer) chocolate bar instead of something from Mondelez or Nestle. Buy it from Oxfam instead of Tesco, and hell while you're there take a look around and see if there's anything else of interest.
Remember that on the recent prize draw, there was a total of 63,972 entries from 33,606 people - so on that one easily more than half of the people entering only did so once - no idea whether that translates to the other competitions but I think it does show that for the majority a competition to win Glastonbury tickets is treated as a punt, rather than something to approach tactically.
I thoroughly get what you are saying. I also recognise the zeal (and hope) on this thread. This will sound like I'm blowing my own trumpet, but its not meant to sound that way - I have entered all the competitions (including paying £10 for one entry) so that I could gift the tickets to a couple of people on this thread. It would be ace if at least one person on here got a couple of Golden Tickets.

An eerie photo of the construction of the statue of liberty in France, 1884.

but definately needs a zoom
Yes, that's the problem. Well, that and the fact that my mind is wandering a little at the moment, so it's difficult to focus.
May as well drop some more stuff on here, while I'm here;

Oh, the history is already possibly on your middle photo - I can't actually see the detail on that right now.

Can’t see a few of those photos above yog sadly but I’ve been to see this knife angel which is in my town this month and touring the uk which is pretty thought provoking
I have wanted to see that statue 'in the flesh' for some time now. Although the background representation of knife crime is tawdry, it is a most excellent sculpture. For anybody reading and doesn't know - it' was created from knives handed in at an amnesty by the police. The statue as art, blows my mind. It is so amazingly conceived and also executed. It's base is in Shropshire (where I live). I must make the effort to see it when it's next back in the county.

National Express coaches to Glastonbury festival depart from Birmingham Coach station (Mill Ln, Birmingham B5 6DD). The journey time will probably vary, but one leaving on the Wednesday morning (at 05.15) takes three and a quarter hours.

Once you’ve gone through the initiation ceremony and successfully completed the 10 Coldplay questions. Personally I found joining the Masons easier. 😊😉😊
Yes, I found the initiation ceremony quite disturbing. Mind you, it helped smooth the path for my Opus Dei membership.

It's OK - I can deal with

I hadn't noticed until reading this thread. I wonder how long it would have taken for the penny to drop with me? I think it would have taken some considerable time.

So, it's kind of a 'discussion' - in that you can discuss what's posted (or go completely off on a tangent, if you so like). However, the idea of the thread is to post something you like. It could be art, the written word (same thing in some instances), statements of fact (eg. from the Guinness Book Of Records), something from the Urban Dictionary - anything. Anything at all. However, you must like it.To kick it off, I am offering some photos.This, I believe, is called 'American Costumi'Other types of photos, and other bits and bobs;Holmes describes Moriarty's physical appearance to Watson, saying the professor is extremely tall and thin, clean-shaven, pale, and ascetic-looking. He has a forehead that "domes out in a white curve", deeply sunken eyes, and shoulders that are "rounded from much study".There now - that's enough to be getting on with. Please note that I'll possibly keep this thread going, even if nobody else does. It's a perfect vehicle to 'purge'.

I have never snuck into Glastonbury. My brother did once. He took a flight over from Dublin, hitchhiked a lift to the festival, and then saw that there was a massive fence (superfence) in place, when he knew nothing of the sort (it had been a few years since he had attended the festival). So, faced with this conundrum he walked around. Then he saw an ambulance entering the site. He hopped on the back of the ambulance, and jumped off it once he was 'in'. He's a miserable bastard at the best of times, but he was smiling from ear to ear when he walked up the hill to where were were camped.

So far my children are being remarkably understanding of the need to eat lots of dinners involving cider in the recipe. I only wish cheese and cider were happier bedfellows, as I've still got a ton of worthy pastures cheese to use! I should have shares in both companies, the amount of both I've consumed to no avail!
Now that really is a sterling effort. There can't be that many people out their who will get their kids pissed, and clog their arteries with cheese, in their quest for Golden Glastonbury Tickets.
In all seriousness though, it would be ace to see a few winners on here, given the grit and determination of you all.

I’m away for the week in the Lakes. I hoped that Ambleside Tescos Express would stock Brothers, but it doesn’t. I bought a few cans with me so I can still do the occasional entry but compared to my previous 2-4 a day this feels futile, which is ridiculous. Still roll on next week, some of the competition cans should have arrived and I can make up for it.
Your (and everybody else's) determination is admirable.

Nah you do yourself a gross disservice, you're a mere amateur compared to the government 😉
That's so very, very true.
I had the opportunity to be very corrupt (or even plain old corrupt). I even knew how it could be done, without any forensic trace. After I arranged my own redundancy, I told them about the 'fault' in their system of operation, and how it should be negated. They took it up immediately. I don't mention that to glorify in what a great systems analysis I could be. More to tell you that how sh*t I am at corruption.

I am toying with buying one of these bars (I hope to limit it to that). I'm not too sure whether the Oxfam shop near me will allow me to bring in my sensitive drug scales and check all the bars out. Maybe I should 'get something' on the shop manager and blackmail them into letting me weigh the bars. Desperate times result in desperate measures!
