  1. OK, I have always been trained to use these things as a chance to make meets better. There will be racing on the Friday and the Sunday. Both are afternoon meets. To get in the paddock its better to get there by about 1030 otherwise you get put in the overflow field. Its a great day out and I usually go anyway. It could be a blast but the pub will struggle to cope. I will talk to them tomorrow.
  2. Its about cars mate. The guys on here get it.
  3. I suppose it could be worse. I enjoy the races so it will give us something to do. I quite fancy a zed convoy onto the races. You can take your car onto the paddock field and I have tables, chairs etc. You can also take on you own refreshements and we could have a BBQ. The pub is going to be hammered.
  4. Very much not amused by this. I will start to phone around tomorrow and see what I can do. Eabank with its six rooms may be a good option. They appreciate the fact that I block book it. The haven site is also only 2 miles away and I may be able to get deals on the statics.
  5. Yes its early but Cartmel have just announced the dates for the races in 2015. The rooms get booked up very early, like in the next few months. The is racing on Friday 26th June and Sunday 28th June. This is great if you want to tie it in with the car meet but prices go up and the place gets full up. They have never had races in June before but I have bands booked so cant change the dates. For anyone travelling on Friday or Sunday, please avoid Cartmel between 1000 and 1300. The traffic can be horrendous. Plan for the weekend. Friday arrivals. The pub will be serving food all day over the weekend. They will also be doing breakfasts. It is essential that you book a table. With the races on it will be very busy. Friday daytime and evening is a meet and greet at the pub. The races are on so if anyone wants to attend let me know. I wont bother so I am around to help anyone out. Saturday. The steam train and lakes steamers is a great option for a chilled day out. There will be a drive out for anyone interested. Saturday evening we will have a BBQ at the hall, this will be available during the music. . Sunday morning the cars will be judged by my friend the motoring journalist. As usual, dont worry ablout cleaning the cars. For those that are interested we can then have a chilled day at the races. We need to be there by about 1030. Other things to do. Lakeland car museum. http://www.lakelandmotormuseum.co.uk/ Heverthwaite railway which links to the lake steamers. http://www.lakesiderailway.co.uk/
  6. I have been listening to German trance music for two days not sure where thats come from.
  7. I will ask Bill Gates when he pops round for tea toinight.
  8. Tell me more... Sorry for the slow reply, been biker baiting.
  9. I have a one off floyd poster, speak nicely to me. Its worth a lot of money but to another fan i will be reasonable.
  10. More specifically . All likes very welcome and yes, I am still very annoyed.
  11. He has had 24 hours. I will be in Barrow on Monday and obviously know where he lives. I could live with it if it was just one of those off the cuff stupid comments but that idiot Lemon brought it up so it had been previously discussed.
  12. https://www.facebook.com/HairyBikers Second thread down but you will have to expand it. I am big enough to live with it but my son is very upset.
  13. At the moment I would go for the cheaper option. Unfortunately when I was learning this wasnt an option and I played with headphones on so all the family and neighbours could hear was the drums.
  14. Just to throw an outfield ball in which you wouldnt probably expect from me. This is what I am listening to tonight. Lovelly chilled music.
  15. I recorded it as Toyah was on it. Didnt know Dave Myers, the Hairy Biker was on it too. I went to school with him. Just got round to watching it. He bought the hotel I lived in when I was married to my first wife. He knows I used to live there. Had a bit of a shock when he broadcast to the nation that it was a brothel. I think I would have noticed. Fortunately they have a facebook page.
  16. I think its a great idea. I am pretty much in the same place, if I want something I buy it. Most years I put a band on at the hall with a buffet and invite a great bunch of locals for a night out. I then take donations for the local hospice. Otherwise I would end up with 200 bottles of alchohol.
  17. They actually approached me which was a little strange but I am getting lots of requests to play the village hall now, quite bizarre. As you are in Germany you may know this one.
  18. See... I made a post without mentioning Midge, Toyah or LakeZ. Damn, guessed I just spoilt that.
  19. I will not down the obvious route. I love all types of music. I am presently looking forward to seeing Blackheart who I have booked at the hall in November. https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UUdbtFMnJUwliHk33Lf0l6xw&v=L0WefylERuM
  20. Be careful with post 06 Golfs. I have a friend who is a VW mechanic and they can have serious electrical issues.
  21. A little searching would indicate Northern Ireland.
  22. There are dedicated products for wrapped cars.
