Buckfast meetup

[fenton]

I'll make up some fliers with detailed instructions then forget to give them out again.


2PM by the zipline.

[dj_yt]

Do they let you on the Zipline with Buckfast? Or do you have to drink it before?

[james]

I have to get involved this year, Buckfast is an old lost friend to me.

[boompty]

only sipping??? come on man, it's bloc...CHUG CHUG CHUG!

I did that at 9am on the Monday morning of the 2nd Bloc. The train ride home wasn't the best, believe you me

[Londonbuckfastcrew]

we will be there - with our drinking funnel and new fancy lesiurewear

[Lorz]

Do they sell Bucky anywhere at BLOC?
Coming from Ireland but only taking hand-luggage so unless I sacrifice my toiletries for a litre of Buckfast spread amongst 10x100ml bottles I can't bring any!
Slightly off topic too but what's the price of booze once you're in, English "pub prices" in the bloc FAQ doesn't mean much to me

I would remortgage your house and sell your prized goat.

If my somewhat dubious memory serves me correctly, I think a pint was around the £3.20 marker last year... hence the reason to stock up on cider/buckfast/methylated spirits on route.

[dj_yt]

Actually sterling is worth bugger all at the moment. You'll be buying me drinks!

[Buddygunz]

Coming from Ireland the drink is cheap enough. I didn't think it was as much as £3.20 for a pint but I suppose it depends on what pints and which pub you were drinking in.

[Catcore]

aye was round about the 3 pound mark. get tanked up in the chalet, then you only have to buy a few when your out and about.

[Warpiggy]

it was really hard bringin drink in with you last year...in hemsby i went bak to the chalet for every drink. tried it once last year n had to sit outside drinkin it

[Lorz]

Cheers guys, yeah around 3 quid works pretty well considering the exchange rate plus stocking up beforehand too. Def beats a fiver (and more sometimes) in Dublin anyway. Ha, buying you drinks? Well if you spot me in the crowds I'll shout ya one how's that

[dubluke]

CMAAAAN, I'm going to wear my buckfast t shirt

[dubluke]

Will drinkers of Sanatogen Tonic Wine be accepted?

hell no!

[grhm]

Alternatively follow the sound of Hellfish and you'll find me wangin' frenchcore in our apartment!

Has Minehead got an offie or anything, gonna need my fix of Buckie, and that holiday treat of the little bottles!
