I've been booked into the Maison Blanche campsite: what's it like?

[Stu]

Out of the 23 years (including this one) I've been coming, have used campsites for 16 of them. In that time, have been in Bleu three times, Houx once and MB twelve!!

Have to say I love it there. Not to say the others aren't great but when something ain't broke, don't fix it if you know what I mean. The atmos is great and you get to make some great buddies who almost always camp roughly in the same place. Some we have managed to upset a tad over the years but generally a damn fine place to be put mdt!!

It is indeed just a stone's throw away from the famous Maison Blanche stretch (as you may have guessed).

Actually, just a thought but as so many of us camp in MB, wonder if we could make a rough location map together with a list of identifying markers (such as the Commer, PM's Winnie etc....) so we can hook up easier?

This could be added to the Who What Where that Smokie compiles each year, but I'm sure that he'll let you take over. I still have last years if you want it.

And in case anyone wants to find me, I can easily be found by this subtle piece of self-promotion!!!

I have to say that neither of those Deutsche-mobiles are my responsibility thankfully!!! But the green tent to the middle of shot is where my sock resides!!

Reminds me of that Paul Young song Rick, "Wherever I hang my sock, that's my home..."

  Hmmm, now there's an image that could blight your weekend H!!!

With Burns neet looming, there's just about enough time to learn one of Robbie's finest, and really impress the mother-in-law...

A Blawin Lament


Oh what a sleekit horrible beastie
Lurks in your belly efter the feastie
Just as ye sit doon among yer kin
There sterts to stir an enormous wind

The neeps and tatties and mushy peas
Stert workin like a gentle breeze
But soon the puddin wi the sauncie face
Will have ye blawin all ower the place

Nae matter whit the hell ye dae
A'body's gonnae hiv tae pay
Even if ye try tae stifle
It's like a bullet oot a rifle

Hawd yer bum tight tae the chair
Tae try and stop the leakin air
Shifty yersel fae cheek tae cheek
Prae tae God it doesnae reek

But aw yer efforts go assunder
Oot it comes like a clap o thunder
Ricochets aroon the room
Michty me a sonic boom

God almighty it fairly reeks
Hope I huvnae sh*t my breeks
Tae the bog I better scurry
Aw whit the hell it's no ma worry

A'body roon aboot me chokin
Wan or two are nearly bokin
I'll feel better for a while
Cannae help but raise a smile

Wiz him! I shout with accusin glower
Alas too late, he's just keeled ower
Ye dirty bugger they shout and stare
A dinnae feel welcome any mair

Where e'ere ye go let yer wind gan' free
Sounds like just the job fur me
Whit a fuss at rabbie's party
Ower the sake o one wee farty

[powermite]

[Andy Zarse]

Seriously funny, that one!

BTW I have heard about these new patented fart whislte pants. A pair of undies with a butt plug/whistle tailored into the back panel. It doesn't prevent wind but upgrades the bad human grunting/phweeping sound to a lovely whistle in C sharp.

Does anyone know where such a garment can be purchased?

It's nice to be back.

[gibberish]

It's nice to be back.

Nice to see you back AZ.  How was the snow?

[hgb]

Whistle trousers ? Mhh, might be a good idea to widen the CA garmet collection.   Nothing broken, Andy ?

[jpchenet]

Welcome back Andy!!



Hope your fingers are feeling nimble.......you've got some catching up to do!!  

[dryhen]

Keep up the entertainment, Big H - you make me think the TV licence is a waste of money

Hi Gibber, JP et al,

The snow was freakin' freezin, minus 14c and that was just in the resort, but had a great time tho and pleased to say there's no broken bones, just a bit of facial wind burn. My face looks like I've been subject to a viscious assault with a beetroot.
