NFR NFC 2017 - The friendly thread for lovely people

Ah you should have given us a ping and we could have met for a drink. The gingerbread vodka is awesome though. We have turned quite a few people into addicts. Lol

Do you have your own kayak @sheffieldlady? 

[sheffieldlady]

@H.M.V afraid not, we just rented one for the day! Although I am considering it has a hobby for the summer but they're expensive and I'm a cheap skate! Next time I'm in the area I'll give you a shout

And then, the following year, you got overexcited and fell on a wheelbarrow. Silly Lucy!

 

Definitely won't be doing that this year!

Think it's Angkor Wat in Cambodia. 

Yes @thurlow84 I've tried it but tastes like toothpaste.

I thought as much. I'd really love to go there myself someday.

It's vodka, that tastes like Gingerbread. I had foolishly thought that it wouldn't taste nice without mixer - oh, I was so so wrong! Imagine gingerbread but liquid form and it makes you feel warm at a campsite.
I like Kendal Mint Cake but as Vodka - I didn't enjoy the sample @thurlow84

Thanks H.M.V.  As i said above I'd really like to go there someday. Might never happen though as Mrs Yog isn't keen.

No, not trying for Thursday. It's shit or bust on Sunday. I'll get in touch in a few days time with all the details, and  thanks for your help on this. By the way, my wife isn't going - it's her brother I am also trying to get a ticket for. I thought I also had two other efesters on the list but that hasn't panned out now. Will have to see if I can get another two efesters in to my group. It's all a little chaotic to be honest. 

Hi yog, are you adding your details to the NFr NFC fb list? If not get them added, you too @Milky Joe. The more folk trying the more chance you'll get tickets

Hello Babylon sister,

I trying to think if I ever knew about such a Facebook list and can't recall doing so. I'm not sure about going down this path because (a) I'm not too sure how the FB thing works. I do have an account there but don't access it a lot and therefore don't really know how to do anything on it. (b) I've now possibly got a group of 4 and will be contacting some efesters who have, in the past, said that they would help out. If they still can then it would mean that I have a fair few helpers already and I don't want to be greedy. If they find that they now can't help then I'll head straight over to FB in a blind panic. Thanks for letting me know about it.

Maybe adding toothpaste to a normal bottle of vodkas the way to go rather than buying the mint cake vodka

I like minty things though so I might enjoy it

thanks for the feedback

[guypjfreak]

Never? But I've joined a gin club!!!

My eyes don't want to stay open. 

In other news, it's a nice sunny day out

[sheffieldlady]

@guypjfreak give it a week and you'll be OK  and ready to tackle gingerbread vodka. @mr gumby and @H.M.V if the vodka tastes good and like gingerbread. I'm in!

Lovely day out, my head currently hurts from politics! I wish the world was a simpler place sometimes, sometimes I think "sod it, we all live on the same planet, surely we can just get along nicely and look after each other" then I remember, that's exactly why I love Glastonbury. But I don't want to get into politics in this thread  not long until we're on the farm, enjoying the sunshine!

Maybe try Apple mint herb to flavour it, or some subtle taste, as the Trebor mint one Jeffie did was like mouthwash.

I broached booking leave in June today in my new job on the second day. Might as well get it sorted before I balls up something big time. Boss seems good and isn't going, so no clash there.
