If anyone's looking for inexpensive lodging, I booked in at the Swindon Central Travelodge (I am all class!!) and it was only 20 quid per night. I MapQuested it, and it's only about 1.5 miles from the De Vere Hotel.

Family Rooms at the same Travelodge are going for about 30 quid per night... double bed, sofa, AND a pull-out couch... split it 4 ways and it's @#$%& as chips!

As the Ffiesta draws ever closer, we now have posters and flyers for the event.

Could you help spread the word by displaying posters and accosting people with flyers, I know how you all like to unnerve people in the street!

If you can help out please let me know either here or via my email (in my profile) I can email it to you or send in the post.

Thanks everyone

Pod x

What is an "r" between friends? They do sell pies at the pier.
If it easier for you,

Interestingly, you can also get pies here

bloomin' 'eck...just looked at the hotel...i think i'll stay in a mud-hole just in case i get used too used to the luxury and start hefting tellys out of the windows ...

...and let's face it, that sort of behaviour is reserved for travelodge and such like.

...actually i might go travelodge so i can heft stuff out of the windows with relative impunity.

by the by...this is not my endorsement of you hefting stuff out of travelodge's windows...i don't need any more lawsuits.


How did i get onto THAT..see, this is what happens when i don't have time to post on here is SO LONG, i end up writing absolute drivel!


so, yeah...posters...might be worth me putting some up down here in Brighton...people could come...out of curiosity as much as anything else i reckon!

ahem

hello. how are we all?

sadly I don't think I have any relatives with impunity.

Hurling things out of windows does sound fun though...

Unfortunately, we are unable to make the Ffiesta after all this year. We have
two tickets and a room booked at the De Vere for the Saturday night up for grabs.
Willing to let tickets go for £25 each (instead of price now of £30) - but be quick!!!!!!!
