Dwarf Shortage Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) Anyone who went last year, what did you take, what did you end up actually using out of what you took, and what did you feel you should have taken, but didn't? Basically I can't pack to save my life, and I'm trying to pack as light as possible, as I've got to find a way to Holyhead with my bike and a single backpack if possible.

Will there be many sheep around, bear grylls style? lol I had an idea of making lots of pasta and just putting it in a few of those plastic boxes and bring that. Pasta is filling When i read that, all i could picture was a dribbling, incapacitated, absolute moron of a man behind the keyboard. Me put pasta in box! Me eat pasta. Me not hungry anymore. They're called f**king tupperware sweetheart - people have party with that shit it's so bloody good! Pasta filling, PASTA FILLING! It has a f**king high carbohydrate content and is traditionally known as 'cuccina povera' as it was a dish made by those who had no money who needed to ingest food to give them much energy as often they'd be working manual jobs. Educate yourself my good man, for god's sake (no capital 'G' from me) educate-your-ratty-ass-self. For sweet jesus's sake-you've only got the one shot at this life. Do not remain ignorant for your own personal entirety. But yeah, pasta's not a bad idea and have a nice time. x 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew62 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) You sure I can't convince you to jump in the motorhome? This weekend needs some of those rants I wish more than anything i could, but i have so much to do this weekend and need to be on a plane about 2 or so hours after you depart on the Sunday. I shall be wishing you all the best (and wishing i was there) and i certainly won't make the same mistake next year. I shall definetly jump in next year if: 1. Your motorhomes still rocking. 2. You go-otherwise that's stealing. Have fun and have a rant for me while you're there! P.S. Oh yeah and an even bigger problem is that my bike is only a frame at the moment with all it's various parts scattered around my flat.
