Heavy/thrash metal? Give me a break. No wonder this documentary came across unwittingly as a spoof. Calm down goth boy spat me coffee out at that

thats what i thought exactly, jesus...they 'made it' they sell millions of albums worldwide, sell out world tours, then sit around whinging and moaning like fuck!!! God, I'd love to make them spend a month back in the real world

I would?

Tbh, we just want a place to sleep, we are doing a Ghost walk on the friday evening, wont be in untill late and will be leaving first thing in the morning...it can be as dull as its pleases...the 4 of us girls wont notice! Should be spot on in that case. You can probably get a room for four anyway. yeah that will be a laugh methinks Renton my hubby said that too We missed the Ghost walk last weekend so wanted to go back to do it. We read about it in a shop called the ginger jar in Stratford that sells magic spells and witchy things ( im not joking)! Weird place but we loved it....people were paying £30 for a spell in a box, which comprised of a candle, some herbs and a chant, they sold spells for anything....new job, luck, mending a broken heart etc etc Anyway, the ghost walk sounds interesting, basically a tour around Stratford at night, taking in shakespeare's birthplace and other notable houses and 'haunted' places!! Finishing up at the oldest pub in the town, which is a really beautiful building ( i do have a thing about buildings)

Anyone watch their Documentary on more4 last night? Im not sure if its been shown before, i hadnt seen it anyway, now i love most of their music but boy!! are those guys self obssessed or what?

Thanks! We're not broke mind just fancied something different, We stayed in a gorgeous cottage in Chipping Campden last week, the owner ran the pub next door too....the next night we stayed in Evesham because we couldnt find anywhere in Stratford, couldnt beleive how busy it was there. I go there quite often. But my mate had never been, so i showed her Broadway, The Slaughters, Stow, Moreton In Marsh and Boughton on the water. Whereabouts are you? Between Gloucester and Cheltenham. They're both places worth visiting, too. Gloucester has a very nice cathedral, Cheltenham is just a very nice regency town. It would depend on what time of the year you were over; Cheltenham in the summer is really lovely. We drove back through Cheltenham from Boughton on the water to get back on to the M5...really pretty drive, think it was the A40 or 49...cant remember now, the Foss way. I like Cheltenham, been there once before.....shopping of course

Thanks ...i think we may give it a go. Its a beautiful manor house with pleasant grounds in a really nice area....the equivalent type of hotel prices would probably be in the region of £150-£180 per night to stay in such a building....way nicer than a pokey B&B I hadn't looked at the hostel itself before I wrote my reply, and having looked at their website, I honestly honestly can't see any reason whatsoever for not staying there. Especially considering that they have numerous bed options that should cater exactly for the number of you going, so it's not like you'd be sharing with randoms or whatnot. Plus they do various things for groups of schoolchildren, so you'd expect the place to be pretty nicely looked after. Yeah, it looks a lovely place. I think we'll book it. Thanks for your help, feel much more relieved now! Glad to be more helpful than that FUCKING Gemmill bastard. Gemmill and Helpful do not go together in the same sentence Gemmill and chocolate maybe.....or Gemmill and pedantic, or even plain old Gemmill and irritating!!!

Agreed. People who go camping by definition aren't too bothered about hygiene. So even if there are proper facilities at the campsite they tend to be a fucking disgrace because they're being used by Harry Ramps all the time. I like to think I'm fairly clean, but you are obsessed by hygiene it has to be said. Means you can't go to Glastonbury and the like, for instance. Mind, I haven't been in a tent for years and suspect it would be too uncomfortable now. I'm not obsessed by hygiene, but I've no interest in camping - being barely clean for the duration and having to use what is basically a public toilet every time I need to go to the bog is not my idea of fun. You should try it Gemmill (camping, not being a tramp). I didn't think it would be for me but I first tried it about four or five years back and I love in now. In fact I might go some where in the Yorkshire dales this weekend. Honestly mate, I would hate it. I went camping with the school once and it pissed down all week. I spent the week wearing cold wet trainers, the bogs overflowed so there was a steaming open sewer backing up into the area where the tents were. Bollocks to that. We've all had bad experiences camping and yeah, yours sounded awful But when we went to North Wales in the summer we stayed on this campsite in the valleys...it was immaculate and quiet, the scenery was stunning!! The showers and loos brand new and very posh! No smelly sewerage honestly! And though im not so keen on staying in tents anymore ( cos i feel claustraphobic) i loved being out in the open, watching the clouds over the mountains tops in the early mornings as i walked down to get my shower. Plus theres nothing like a BBQ or even a camp fire smell wafting over, its so relaxing. Basically there are camp sites and there are campsites, some are over crowded and full of screaming kids, but if you look around there are some really good sites that even you wouldnt turn your nose up at

Hailing from Plymouth I would expect you to know Torquay is in Devon She's from Torquay? Ah. My mistake. I can see where the Essex assumption came from tbf. Thank you very much Yes im a Torquay gal Brock....I'd have kept it quiet had i hailed from Essex mind! Well you can't tell the difference between a camel and a shadow.... I do understand the picture.....i do know which is which, what im saying is i CANNOT see it!!! Are you from Esses perchance? Plymstock. Shadows are black yknow. As you're a local lad i'll let that go

Agreed. People who go camping by definition aren't too bothered about hygiene. So even if there are proper facilities at the campsite they tend to be a fucking disgrace because they're being used by Harry Ramps all the time. How very dare you! I go camping a couple of weeks a year and I have a morning AND an evening shower and I wash my hands after every bathroom visit. Go Dr, Go Dr. Gemmill, you are such a thoughtless jerk sometimes do you try to be deliberately annoying with your extremely sweeping statements? !!! Jerk. Are you Tom Cruise? Campers are dirty people man. Why would you live in muddy squalor when there's probably a hotel nearby?? Renton mentioned Glastonbury - if I ever went there I'd stay in a five star hotel and travel by limousine every day to the concert while you sewer rats lived it up in your tents with your unwiped backsides! fuck, you sound like FF Get real man, get dirty!!!!!!!!

In fact that whole sentence should be the caravan club's slogan. and dont those happy caravaners just hate Jeremy Clarkson

Oh God...this is turning into one of those toontastic 'Hygiene' threads again...

I'll let you get away with that one as it made me laugh

unfortunately ive been seeing them all night I have another odd thing going on here right now If you open one of the pictures from the Earth from the air website that Renton posted, it wont let you browse away from it
