Title: Got the Bar, got the Car, but forgot the MB ticket
Post by: Arnie on April 27, 2005, 09:52:06 pm
Can anyone help a Maison Blanche regular?  Due to pressures of work, have so far failed to sort my camping pass.

Copious amounts of quality grog and masses of dead pig (including local gourmet favourite gritty sausages) will also be made available for the decent chap who can help.

Here's to a large one.

I'd be glad to help you Arnie. Yes I have MB tickets. No I am not desperate to get rid of them.
Sadly, "surely someone out there must be desperate to get rid of a Maison Blanche?" (there are other places where you can get MB tickets at inflated prices) shows what a shame it is that you put your act together so late. No one here is desparate to get rid of a Maison Blanche camping ticket. Hardly the way to go begging .................
Yes the car is mine.

Yes it was intended as a joke, and yes I am aware of the ticket situation, having been an MB regular for some 9 years so far.  As a newbie, looks like my attempt at humour has unintentionally struck a sensitive chord?

I have a nasty inflammation that I'd like to get rid of, if that's any help?

Ahh - so its not about the car!

Humour doesnt seem to translate well in forums it seems -  :-\

My sense of humour also seems to have fallen on stony ground ;)

Thanks Gary, I really appreciate someone out there being supportive.  

Ultimately, and to all other readers of this and other threads, as a newbie to this site who has both asked for help and offered it on other threads, both aspects so far seem to have fallen on stony ground.  That's somehwat disappointing as I thought this forum was intended for people to help each other out?

Perhaps the purpose of this forum is being missed somewhere?  Constructive responses to my requests and offers would be most welcome, thank you!

Arnie - I'm sure there is no malice intended any of the above responses. Maybe some humour missed the mark here, but what seems funny as it's being written doesn't always seem as funny to the reader...

There are loads of threads like yours which have reached a satisfactory conclusion, however I guess that this late in the day most people have already disposed of any unwanted tickets.

However, plans change unexpectedly, so keep checking back and maybe your luck will be in...

...and as if by magic - further down the threads is this one, http://tinyurl.com/aqykn, on which mbman is offering a MB ticket!  :)

Many thanks Smokie, and for your notification.  I will pursue it, although I may already be a bit late for this one!

Best wishes.

...Still seeking the kind soul who can can sort me out with a Maison Blanche.  Will shortly resort to e-mailing the new Pontiff asking him to pray for his humble servant in this time of need...

Sadly I've got no spare tickets Arnie but I can offer some advice, just turn up you'll get into a campsite anyhow & you may evn be able to pick up an MB pass from the ACO once there.

Sorry you took some of the humour to heart, I dunno if you've been reading the forums for long but it took me quite a while just reading before I felt up to posting as well (the number of members in comparison to semi-regular posters seems to back me up on this!!) Stick with it & you'llsoon be as mad as the est of us.

I look forward to seeing you at the 'poo bar on Saturday, have a few bevys!! ;D

Arnie, this is a sell or swap forum, not a magicians corner! I find people here really do try to help if they possibly can, but no one is offering the impossible. There are Beausejour tickets available from the ACO. BSJ is a much maligned camp site, but it's a lot better than some folk give it credit for. If all else fails, I would go there.

Other than that, all I can recommend is that you should consider getting organised a bit earlier next year.  ;)

Arnie, what an interesting thread you started!!  We were a party of nine travelling in 3 vehicles, including a Transit to carry all the kit.  Starting South London/Surrey to Portsmouth-Le Harve Weds 15th June 8.30am.  Staying in MB.  We take a fridge/freezer generator etc. etc.  Sadly 3 of the guys now look like they can't make it so I have 3 spaces.  We have a great time but are not real petrol heads.  I was in hospital when I would normally have started organising this so I am one of the idiots who paid OTT on EBugger to be safe.  However when spread over a crowd it it not too criminal.  If you (or anyone else) are interested in joining up let me know - We split all costs between us.  If not good luck getting your ticket

Please Mr. Zarse talk about setting someone up for failure, better to get organised this year ready for next year  ;)

Thanks for all your advice gentlemen.  Cedarman, as far as I understand it, you originally were going down in convoy but even though three people have dropped out, you still need all your MB passes?


Title: Re:Got the Bar, got the Car, but forgot the MB ticket
Post by: Cedarman on May 10, 2005, 11:12:13 pm
Arnie, as it stands we now have 7 (originally planned for 9) so we currently need all 3 passes.  I follow your drift and if this changes I will let you and others know.  By the way we always have a large area roped off by someone who arrives early on so there is room for gazebos, music etc.
