The "I'm going to torture myself by checking on here regularly" thread...

The efestivals dancing man could easily be added to the picture holding a kids hand or something.

Or shooing the child away towards their mothers (who will have to look after them) whilst loading the camping equipment into the car.

I think they'd be ace.

Kidney Mead is always nice

Anyone any good with photoshop? I can draw, but only by hand and I don't have a scanner.

[Langdale Wolf]

f**k it I'm game if you are. Can I bring a non father or does he have to camp in the same camp next to teh adults camp :-)

[ukdaasfan]

Non-fathers have conditions attached to gain entry:

• All fathers must be waited on 24 hours a day to make up for 12 months of hard work

• All non-fathers must remember vital equipment that fathers - in their hectic lives as parents might have forgotten (spare phone battery, extra keg of ale etc)

• Only fathers have the choice of music on the camp stereo

• We are 'Efests Fathers Camp' - the first non-father to use the words 'father' and 'camp' to make some sort of joke about the band Gay Dad will be banned from the campsite

• We're dads. We know best. Don't argue with us.

• X Factor is shit. Nothing to do with this list, but worth mentioning I'm sure you'll agree

• Non-fathers must always give up their seats if fathers need them. We feel older, so f**k off and make room for us

• We're going into the Kids Field. Non-fathers can't. We're allowed to in the same way that we can go into the Early Learning Centre with or without our offspring. It's a right we have.

<Goes giddy at the thought>

We have 12 months. It's a shame mikeb isn't a dad (at least, I don't think he is) because his monorail badge efforts were awesome.

Is it wrong to be more concerned by Events at, and not being at Glasto, than my new arrival??!!!

[Franco Baresi]

For any bitter bastards out there, you might be pleased to know that it is still pissing down here in Somerset!

[Langdale Wolf]

Done. Might even ahve to do something sad like setup a facebook site :-)

I also know a nice T-Shirt supplier. we make a lot of T-Shirts at work. I think it makes up for the non existence of any corperate strategy.

Fathers Camp must have a bar tent :-) I have a gas fridge and a fram tent :-)

I love the Dad's camp idea, and I reckon you'll have lots of little enclaves of Dad's all over the site if the idea snowballs. My camp motto will be;

DO AS I SAY, NOT AS I DO!

All tents should be securely pegged.

All boots should be removed in the outer, not the inner tent.

Fire points should be memorised on arrival in case of fire.

Children should be seen and not heard.

Ale should NEVER be chilled.

Dad's get spliffs rolled for them all weekend by non-Dads.

[ukdaasfan]

I felt the same guilt too, but only for a short while.

It's his fault that I can't go....just wait till he gets out!

[ukdaasfan]

I'm a huge real ale fan (which makes me seem all the more dad-like).

Get a keg on there an' all. Eeeeeeeeeeeverybody's 'appy!!

Well that 4. Might have to invet a few wheel barrows to move all the beer :-)

The sun has arrived - now the race to dry the site out begins:

Aye, if you can ship a keg up to Williams Greenfield that would be grand.

Apprently we will be in Park Home Ground :-)

I'll mark it on my GPS when we get there and send you to co-ordinates.

[ukdaasfan]

I'll send some non-Dads over to carry it back to the Dads. They'll need a rest from sweeping the camp and polishing the tent pegs.
