You've Been NABD 17 - Chelford, Cheshire Been fancying this one for years but it's always clashed with or been right close to another more local do. I'd heard good things about it and it didn't disappoint with a crackin atmosphere throughout the site. 20 bands in three marquees, real ale festival with 20 guest ales (£2/pint) in one of them and all other beer at dirt cheap prices (£1.25/Guinness) meant it was going to be hard to make it a poor weekend. Proper Tables n chairs in the tents meant we were arsing with foldy stools or lying on the floor slowly but surely dislocating our shoulders either, so I was a happy bunny. Highlights of the weekend were; The bands in general, with The Almaboobies, Stevie (One Man One Mandolin) and Hotrod 55 standing out. The bikes in the custom show, cos sunny days bring out the best in bonny bikes, the bogs for having the good grace to be spotless on Sunday morning when I needed to evacuate suddenly, and finally the ride home. Purdy must've shit the bed or summat cos he was away at the crack of dawn opting for a bimble back via Derbyshire, the Yorkshire Dales, the Pennines etc. Greener and Lukey must merely have pished their beds cos they hung about until almost breakfast time (on a workday) afore setting off. Meself, Sparty and Ste had a bit of a lie in, got up, mooched about a bit, generally pulled wersels together then rassed up the M6 to Lancaster before turning onto the Devils Bridge road and following that right back to Consett more or less. That was far, far better than the motorway and knocked a whole 50 miles of the journey. WooHoo! It's deffo a one to do again so we'll see ya next year eh? Vin |

Gentlemen's Weekend - Nr Hornby Lancashire This wasn't strictly a Shite Shags outing but hey, Me, Sparty 'n' Tank were there so that's good enough innit. The idea was drummed up late last year by Andy and Cloud who thought it'd be a good idea if they got a whole load of blokes that maybe knew each other but not particularly well and put them in a barn in the middle of knowhere to "bond". The venue was Middlewood Camping Barn http://www.middlewood.org.uk/ and it was an absolute corker of a place. Bastard miles away from the parking area, but tip top all the same. We'll say nowt about getting lost in the dark and taking two hours to complete what should've been a 1.5 mile walk, nowt aboot the geyser that fell in the river (cept he normally wears a silly helmet) and deffo nowt about the silly sods that carved up the chopping board and as for him that shot the defenceless placcy beaker, whey, I'm saying nowt!!

Edinburgh Blackpool 2008 Here we all are again stood outside the Blind Beggar smerkin tabs lookin at wor beer through the pub windas….. Hing on, ner wur not, there's waater ower there an a firkin geet pylon up yonder. What's gannin on??? It's all comin back now. Cos of some sporty types playing with their odd shape balls at Murrayfield all manner of weirdo's had snaffled all he digs in and around Edinburgh so we had to head west this year and have our annual Scottish pish up in merry Englandshire, Blackpool to be precise. The Banks's arranged some crackin digs mere yards from the sea front which have to be recommended. Newholme Hotel's the place, cheap, with it's own bar and secure parking for bikes, the owner's a biker himself see and was still sat suppin with us at around half four in the am when meself and Sparty caught the last chair lift to bed. Anyroad, what did we do in Blackpool? What d'ya reckon. We stuffed us faces and quaffed bottles of chilled bubbly in the first bar we went too (cheers Ste) then proceeded to get shitfaced and talk shoite to anyone who'd listen for the next 14 hours. We visited some pubs, saw lots of very drunk people and generally had a ball. Of course Blackpool wouldn't be Cesspool without a trip to Scotty's bar. If you haven't been, this is the cheesiest Karaoke bar in the northern hemisphere and would normally be avoided but Hamish the owner (pal o Tanks) is mad as box of frog shaped balloons. He swears more than Chubbie Broon, WILL have you evicted if you're German and does he funniest version of the Evil Scotsman this side of the border (watch oot for the backing dancer swinging his y'knaar what aboot). Man of the weekend gans to Kev for banging a Merseyside Constabulary WPC that was owld enough to be his Ma, special mentions to Cameron, parking Anna in a cycle rack in her wheelchair gave me a giggle and quote of the weekend to Ste who when told the lass he was talking to was an off duty police officer come oot with "So, I'm an off duty drug dealer". Drunk of the weekend gans to David who made a pig of himself on the afternoon then had to slope off for an early bath after spewing all over the town centre having failed miserably to cause a fight. All in all, not a bad weekend. Noo where next?? Vin |
