I think I am finally in a state to report on the weeks events.
We arrived on Monday at 11.30ish, sneaked it throught the new concourse bit (avoiding paying for extra nights) and were greeted by Rick and Ricks dad with cold beer. Marvelous!
Delboy was still setting up camp and that was HAN.... just us.
We roped of a huge section of land and set up our kit, awaiting arrival of Wooly and Sausage with the caravan.
Lunch was provided by The Cutler Crew (Fantastic spicy spring rolls) Cheers chaps
The Dodge rumbled into camp mid afternoon and yet again, the Cutler crew came to the rescue to help with some electrical problems in the Caravan.
Monday was a quiet night...
Rusty arrived Tuesday and camp Brethren was built.... and what a beauty it was. The best yet!
I think tuesday night was quiet too.... but cant really remember.
Wednesday is a bit of a blur but I know we had a whole Fillet Steak Joint on the BBQ and a fab chicken and Chorizo salad prepared by Russ and Sausage.
Steve Z and Paul Z arrived with the news that the Commer had issues and was being worked on at the roadside.
I think we went to the Stella bar and then watched some qualifying before heading back to HA sud to the announcement that the Commer had retired 4 miles away.
Bless Bob U for getting up and going on a rescue mission.
Shortly after, Team Z were in the area and it all started to go wild from there on!
Thursday bought the arrival of Robspot, The Melans and news of Marks shunt... (Glad you were ok)
My Piano and nasty red sofa were installed and camp Brethren was complete. (Thanks to Rob for bringing them down)
Thursday night had a different twist from other Brethren party nights as we had two world class DJ's spinning old skool tunes.... and f**k me did they do a good job of it! Just like I remember it back then but better... MC Pig-Pen had his first outing but I am unsure of his performance as the pints of Vodka and tonic made it all go a bit odd and I drifted off to an early 90's rave venue, the lights, smoke and bubbles made the crowd look fantastic. Shame I dont have any pics. Does anyone else??
Fantastic night and my god... can Russ bust some moves!
Friday was our usual trip into town for beer and idiocy with the added bonus of the tram as transport. COOL!
Friday night was DFH and Claire spent an Hour doing my hair... which I think looked superb, as did she, dirty little tart
Was good to meet up with all of DFH and the CA crew, especially Kev. I think he may have been a little worried by Gimpy and myself... ahhh
The walk back was fun... as was the afterparty at Team Zarse HQ. The Cabaret Act was not what was expected
Saturday involved the now legendary Guiness bar for starters, where some people bought the most hideous looking chicken and chips ever known to man and many beers were quaffed in the sunshine.
Lady PP and I watched the start of the race and then returned back to the fun.
Most departed for dinner early evening and then returned to the PooBar, which was rather dull.... unlike the G bar where we ended up.
The Zarse Family were on top form, as were the Melans. I was proud to be preggers Melan with my blonde wig and Tiara. Many a man groped me!
The bin incident was fantastic as was the photographers rucksack. (Big thanks to Team Zarse for all the fun)
Sunday started late and camp was broken for The Brethren departure to Rouen.
Myself and Lady PP, Melans, Robspot, Rick, Steve Pyro Brown, Barry and Andy remained on HAN and saw the week out in style. We dined on a whole Rib eye joint provided by Robs crew, drank anything that was available and burned all the furniture and the piano.
Steve and Rob did a duet on the piano carcass that sounded better than when it was whole, Bob U made a fully clothed guest appearance and helped with the firewood
, Claire and Weena danced like savages around the fire and then Weena deepthroated a massive black pudding before passing out in her chair.
We left on monday morning and headed to Dinard for a night of civilisation.... and very pleasant it was too, until morning when it appeared that every seagull in town had sh*t on the Chavalier. Fantastic, as it was parked right outside the hotel entrance. The best promotional material they could have wanted!
Thanks to EVERYONE... wont list all the names... you know who you all are.
Roll on 09... it will be even more mental
Lord and lady Pig-Pen of The Brethren
