Ok so i've finally gone through all the photos (over 800 i think) and put some of them up on a website for you all to see (see link to the right). Bindy went through and put some captions on them so that you would have some idea of what the photos are. Also the photos are in reverse chronological order, so you might want to start at the bottom of the page and work up. Our camera was also still set to Australian time, so 1 day is spread over the afternoon of one, and the morning of the other...if you know what i mean.
We explored the Nottingham area a bit more last weekend, heading north to the smaller towns of Bulwell and Hucknall to visit their markets - Bindy managed to get some Fcuk boots that must have 'fallen off the back of a truck' because she only paid 30 pounds for them but we saw them in the shops for 130.
We also went to the Robin Hood Pagaent which was held all weekend at Nottingham castle - they basically let the medieval socieites loose on the place so there was tents with traditional foods, ales, jewellery making, archery etc. There were recreation of Robin Hood stories including jousting on horseback, fire twirling and some serious combat with guys being let loose with swords, battle axes and shields. I took some photos so you can have a look.
Nottingham has heaps of caves underneath the entire town, so we went on a tour of one of the caves - they used to use them for housing, to make leather goods and as bomb shelters during WWII (one of the caves could hold fire trucks, ambulances and thousands of people). We got to wear hard hats so that was good too.

Ahah, I finally found this web page. (Haven't checked my hotmail account since you left and thats where the link was) Got your Postcard, Turntables are going alright at the moment (slowly getting better at beatmatching but it still catches me out every so often). I'm looking at buying a Kaoss Pad 3 though to keep me interested (It's like an x-y axis effects controller- sort of like a laptop mousepad but with effects!)
When do you get back man? I'm trying my best to put farmfest on hold, but i can feel tension a brewing... People think that its not going to happen (Kurt and Jack etc have started the Nay-Sayers society) There has been advances on plans but I can't post in writing as the Nay-Sayers may get their hands on it.
Glad to see everythings going well over there. Can't wait for beers when you get back. Peace out Gangsta Fizzle.
(P.S. I see you saw Justice, how damn good were they? After almost memorising every beat in their albumn it made for an interesting show to watch. Loved it)
hey poon
haven't seen justice yet...i get to see them in december so i can't wait.
I think i saw advertised over here that you can get a mixer with a kaoss pad built into it
At this stage I get back on the 5th of February so it would be great if farmfest can wait until i get back...don't worry about the nay-sayers
